Great song

"Lie between her legs... tell her you're searching for her soul."

Yeah.

If I had a rocket launcher, this crappy song would die.
2, and that's generous.

They had some album back in the late 80s, early 90s, "Revolution" something. Anyone remember? It was really good, and the singer did a great Jagger.

This is the worst hippie scene I have ever been too! I saw them in Denver last weekend. It was like eating bad acid without eating it. Just a bunch of dirty hippie shady college kids in a drug induced state for no reason.

I am not saying that SCI is bad. Just their fans suck.

Great CD! One song, Salvador Sanchez, I just couldn't swallow, but the rest of the CD I've listed to again, and again! Tiny Cities - Sun Kil Moon's CD full of Modest Mouse covers was really good too.

Be leery of the Red House Painters though. I was so excited when I bought this CD I got some of his earlier work, and couldn't listen to the cd more than a couple times.

Too bad it's only 2:20 and not 4:20!

Good song , not a Great one. so lets lighten up alittle on the over opinionated comment of some songs/artists. Have you every tryed to write one? IMO

Grew up on Van the Man. One of the things I want to do before I die is to see him perform. He is still on the road, and still has his voice. Hope he comes back to the USA.

My ears are bleeding after this song.

This song is old but speaks to the world as we know it today. War in Middle East, genocide in Africa, governments run with religion as their backbone and a general hopelessness of the imeediate future.

Long live The Hip!!! USA, you don't know what you're missing.

One of my favorite bands - and this song doesn't even make the top tier cut for me....Old Ramon and Songs for a Blue Guitar are superb - Ocean Beach - oh, hell....pretty much everything they did! Sun Kil Moon takes things pretty well onward from where they left off with Old Ramon. Will always be severely underrated...and very much a love/hate band, depending upon how people feel about Mark K's voice (I love it, my wife hates it), the characteristic guitar sound, and nice, long songs to curl up to.

Outstanding song, from an outstanding artist, from a much underated album.

If you haven't seen it, here's REM's TV debut from Letterman, when they played So. Central Rain before it even had a title:

(click here)

It's amazing to see how much they've changed over the 25+ years.

This is a guy with minimal talent who made a couple of good tunes and a lot of shite ones ... like this one.

Peaked with "Road Apples". All downhill after that ... starting with this issue.

Stay on key man. Can't hold a note.

Saw Talk Talk open for Genesis in '82 at a huge outdoor festival in Milton Keynes when Genesis reunited with Peter Gabriel for just one concert. Sadly, Talk Talk were pelted with bottles until they were forced to stop playing. Ironic that later they transformed their poppy sound into something that would have fitted seamlessly with early Genesis.

Hate to say it but the Hip officially suck now

This is good sitting on the toilet music.

Saw them 5 times already this year, new album is great.

check out my videos at http://www.youtube.com/hipvideos

Darn. I make an upload, it gets added instantly.
I go away from my desk for an hour and then it gets played.

Well, yay for 54-40!
No, it's not the Best Song Ever Written but it's a jaunty, wonderful little post-punk-pop-anthem.

I'll have to look forward to hearing it next time it gets played.

The album cover looks like one of my son's books that go "I see one red ball, a four leaf clover and a baseball bat" - and I love this song, too!

...After a law was passed requiring at least one mirror be attached to every motorbike, many mods added 4, 10, or even 32 mirrors to their scooters as a mockery of the new law. This can be seen in the cover for The Who's album, Quadrophenia, which depicts the main character, Jimmy, on his scooter looking into his four rear-view mirrors.

The four mirrors represent the four members of the Who and their individual thoughts and emotions that make up Quadrophenia as a whole (the character Jimmy).

Phil Collins called, he wants his voice back.

I would love to hear more of WP on RP - especially Bang album

speaking of college.. .

good stuff. . .

Blondie was (is?) so sexy!

Wasn't this bit in the movie Birdy?

There are far more powerfull songs on this album, this one one being more of a novalty then anything else. Still it is early Van the Man and you cant go wrong with that.

Don't like this song. It's just too conventional, too main-stream to be played on RP.

Great song for a 3 day weekend at the end of summer. I'm going to go to Mission Beach and toss a few beers back.

Oh, it's the underwear guy again. Couldn't they at least have found someone who looks good in his jockies?

I thought Billy Joel was always crashing in the same car...or was that the same house?

Actually Dumbing Up was released in the states this year. One of the reason it was not released is Carl Wahlberg had a brain anuryism and could not tour in support. He's all better now and did a nice gig at the Jam on the River here in Philly. A great song writer and an album worthy fo RP play.

Since when is girl a bad word? Who says he's generalizing about a certain group? It sounds to me as those he's singing about one American GIRL in particular.

Besides -- "American Woman" was already taken.

Kind of sad. TP was once one of my favorite artists. He really hasn't done anything original in years.

What's particularly grating about the song is person - Joe Average. "I'll give you all I have and a little more". I wish!

Many years ago, a friend pointed this out about an old Bob Segar song - "Against the Wind". The idea that a millionaire rock star is "Still runnin' against the wind" or about to sleep on my floor because he's got nowhere to go is preposterous. You can say they're adopting a persona, but I don't buy it.

Man, I hate this guy's music.

And the problem with these self important singers that think they have profound stuff to say is that their songs are too damn long.

Hate this like poison.

She's great!

as long as you never watch one of her vids.

If you watch 2 vids back-to-back -- you'll hate it.

Just listen to her -- don't watch.

She's wacked out.

p.s. I give this an 8

oh people, you don't know what you're missing. i've seen him three times in the last nine months. play this song!!! cope rocks.

would seem like a cross between REM and Bob Dylan, but a bit more boring

remember them opening for Simple Minds in '86. where have the days gone?

Wow, surprised at the low average rating. This is one of my favorite Roxy tunes. Hopefully my 9 will raise the average a bit!

Brings me back to when I was 17...just back from my trip to Jamiaca, the most popular coyote in town.

Many evenings sitting back on the porch jammin to Tosh and enjoying sharing my "souvenirs"

irie times....irie times....ahhh

Thunderclap Newman - Something In The Air
Over the Rhine - Jesus In New Orleans
Roxy Music - More Than This
David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World
T Bone Burnett - Humans From Earth
Devo - Freedom of Choice
Talking Heads - Burning Down The House

What a great set.

Bruce rocked on his first three albums! Love the Saint!

What is it with Radio Paradise and Talking Heads. I have to disconnect every time this band comes on cause it is just painful to listen; which is way too often cause you play them way too much. This is my only complaint against the station as a long time listener, but it is a big one!

Sorry but this is aweful.

Wouldn't it be something if this band sounded good when listening while listening sober?

Oh, never mind.. I'm drunk and I still don't like them.

Hey, MickMan, when did you see Trower? Recently or way back when...? I saw him in 94... Bridge of Sighs is great, and I also love In City Dreams...... he's truly an underrated guitarist...

George in top form ripping out edgy solos that would not be seen again after Krishnization.

Is this song about visiting the proctologist?

My main man.
Somewhat sad album though.

I'm a fairly new TH fan. Any recommendationas as to which CD of theirs I should pick up first?

David Sylvian and Robert Fripp - God's Monkey
Peter Gabriel - Shock The Monkey

What's next?

Everyone's Got Something To Hide Except For Me and My Monkey (Beatles)?
Monkey Man (Toots and the Maytals)?
Anything by the Monkees?



Addendum: Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited. Good thing I'm not a betting man.

Makes me want to dance.... belly dance lol

This monday (24 april) I'll see Daniel Lanois in concert in Gothenburg, Sweden =)

Nope, TPOH all the way, baby!

I have a 5 year old that loves dancing with me to this .... she normally has her toy lion with her and joins in with the Chorus with quite a bit of vigor

Wondering where the lions are ....

I love being a Dad

Here's something I never thought I'd ever say:

Those synthesized horns kick ass.

man, this was one of the LAST good REM albums. "document" started the slow downward spiral.

Disagree vehemently. Low point of American culture, including music, IMO

Just saw some recent pics of this fellow. He's still quite a looker..... considering he'll be 61 in September! and that voice! Dont' stop the dance!

Now don’t get me wrong but I’m sure this sounds devine deep in the amazon surrounded by waterfalls and monkeys playing with themselves but not through my earphones. Maybe I should upgrade my earphones?

When these guys were on, they were great. When they weren't, they were quite lame.

I've said it before and will say it again. Neil Young sucks.

Love so many Tom Petty songs. But this one . . . the instrumentation is actually great, but the singing isn't . . . and no surprise, I'm vexed by the title's generalization about a certain group, and I hate it when they put in the word "girl." OTOH, I am equal opportunity: I also couldn't stand "Skater Boy" (a.k.a. "Sk8er Boi" or some such).
Ambivalent because the instrumentation os so good.

The latter... just kiddin'! but I wouldn't go out on a limb and say Richard Butler's was the best voice I'd ever heard either....... but the Furs were definitely too morose to be "candy pop" so you're both wrong lol. i need sleep.......

I love, love this song, but boy does it send me back....


Anyone remember the video that accompanied it? Used to run on the old Nightflight show.

Remember seeing the video for this song back in '90 on MTV's 120 Minutes. Good memories.

Interesting entry into the "we play random notes and whine" genre. In this case, they periodically stop doing both, leaving us to wonder if the song is over.

Well, Moby, here's a clue- your heart feels bad for taking money for this dreck?

Great song -- love this almost as much as the original version. Makes me want to dance!

Agreed, great show with a beer and brat!
BTW---for anyone interested in great music and a fun time, Summerfest is for you!

i've never heard of b.cockburn and i am not really that impressed. is this one of his better songs? if so, i must say NO THANKS.

I'd have to concur. I do like Neil, but this one carries on and on. He is a first-rate songwriter, but I might even be his peer as a guitar player.

I really detest this kind of suck-blow sawing style on the harp. Learn to play it won't you !! It sounds just like a kid that gets a harp in the xmas stocking. suck, blow, suck, blow, suck, blow, suck, blow, suck, blow,

This song should be on that site that has misheard lyrics -- for 25+ years, I thought it was: Give me all your lovin' either way, this song rocks lol.

What awful, awful, AWFUL harp !!! Please stop this. There should be a law against these groups who have got a 'name' so they 'play' (for lack of another word) instruments when they've got just NO IDEA !!!!

What awful, awful, AWFUL harp !!! Please stop this. There should be a law against these groups who have got a 'name' so they 'play' (for lack of another word) instruments when they've got just NO IDEA !!!!

Good stuff, though I like World Party's older stuff better.

Deserves an 8 just for that one chick's eyes.

One of the better songs I have heard in awhile, got it stuck in my head, was singing it in the shower this morning, love it. I know you probably didn't need to know that, sorry.

Me and Del were singin' "Little Runaway." Always like a nod to the past. Good song to take to the road.

there is a LOT of retro-rock stuff that is much better than this one. please. not again for a long time. :puke:

I think it's a fantastic cover. A totally new reading of a great song.

Yes, please. I'll have what they're having.

All RP has to do now is play some Northern Pikes.

I don't care for whiny men, even if they are famous. And especially when the lyrics might merit some good singing. Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on the guy. But I never did think he could sing in the first place. He was the second-worst singer of the foursome, arguably.

I really wish someone else would cover this song.

I completely disagree with you.......... Johnny Cash was cool without doing the alternative music. Does that mean that Tom Jones is being exploited? He's older, is he weak and sick too? How about Bill Shatner. Come to think of it, the Stones are being exploited to continue to perform and record music since they belong in rest homes, right??

Hardly know any of their stuff, but that was excellent - cheers Bill!

Well, while everyone's beating up Mugro for his misplaced enthusiasm, I'm liking this tune, overplayed and overproduced or not. Excellent, by my estimation. The acoustic is, indeed, better.

Great campfire song...

Had to learn it on guitar for just that reason...

is there a format to this song? where is there a chorus, or the melody. what the hell are they saying- why is this guy's voice so annoying? why did someone record this- why do people buy this- why are we listening to this?

I'm enjoying this. Who are these guys?

Why are you sticking to songs off their last album (Sadly Beautiful was on yesterday)? Let's hear some Johnny's Gonna' Die from "Sorry Ma", or how 'bout Alex Chilton from "Please to Meet Me"!!!

This is actually off "Zuma," one of Neil Young's best albums. I listen to the whole darned thing, over and over. "And I might live a thousand years before I know what that means..." Geez, the man's incredible. I especially love "Don't Cry No Tears" and "Through My Sails" (done with CSN, for those who mistakenly thought this song was CSNY.)

He's epileptic and eclectic, and one of the best songwriters I've ever heard. Sure, his vocals are shaky and whiny and sometimes obnoxious, and his guitar riffs are jagged and haphazard, but the total package is still intimate and insightful, and far superior to the current crap touting itself as "deep."

I love Neil Young's stuff. "Leaving with the wind blowing... through my sails..."

I'll second that and third the other.

I love love love this song, this band, the beat, the drums, thelyrics the ripping solo!! I'm PSYCHED!!

Amazing. Never heard of him before. Where is this guy? Is he still playing? I hear he was with Procol Harum, and being a Jethro Tull fan(atic), I should have seen him in one of JT's tours. Sounds like Hendrix in so many ways, but with a better voice. I could buy his albums now that I know what I've been missing.

Me too, and I'm a fan of WP. I thought the beginning also sounds a little like the beginning of a Talking Heads song. Which one, I don't know

This is bad.

Like Neil Young bad.

And that's bad.

Okay, I'll give another hint: he was "rumored" to have played with the Sex Pistols on the NMTB album .... did you guess yet??

My ex-girlfriend in Baton Rouge used to know these guys and hang with them a bit when they were in town. Once we were part of about 30 people who saw them play at a friend's plantation home. You have to picture them playing on the porch of what must have been the shack where the "help" lived.

Anyway, there they were playing some down-home, just gorgeous music with us all sitting in the grass on blankets and chais.

On the right was a massive row of tables with crawfish and a keg or two of beer.

The 'dudes played into the evening and everyone pretty much crashed right there under the stars or on the floor of the plantation guy's house.

A rare and memorable moment for me.

remember them opening for Simple Minds in '86. where have the days gone?

This one is awesome! The complaints are the very thing Van has bemoaned about on most of his albums; his music isn’t “pop” enough for the record company executives or some listeners. This was done as a blues number, with traditional blues scat thrown in.

Simply AWFUL. I'm trying to work here!

eyes of a stranger by....crap, can't remember the name of the group

Never liked Marley, never liked Peter Tosh, never lilked reggae much at all.

But Jimmy Cliff, I like!

First heard this on the "Good Will Hunting" album. Loved the music in the film, just downright love the film! This is my second favorite soundtrack of all time -- in case you're wondering, "Until The End Of The World" rules the top slot.

Is it a joke???This is a peace of crap!!!!!SUCKO-BARFO!!!!!!!!

This version blows. Jennifer Warnes has a great take on this tune on her disk The Hunter.

This guy has never done anything except bore me to death.
Actually I heard there was going to be music fest somewhere called Bore-a-palooza.

Bruce Cockburn and Richard Thompson are the headliners.

Wake me up when it's over.

I must say, I'm not a huge U2 fan, though I do appreciate them. I'm just now getting to the point to where I can listen to them effectively again (after 7+ years), after my college roommate destroyed them for me by playing 10 different remixes of "Lemon" all freaking day. That aside, this song is absolutely beautiful and I pity the person who is not moved by the soul of this tune. Some fantastic lyrics, and this is just one of those songs that will never become old. Gotta give credit where it's due. I love RP!

Ugh! It's bad enough that I'm having to work on a Monday that's a holiday for most everyone else, but do I have to be tortured by a constant stream of extremely bad 80s music?

Goodbye, clicking off to another station that doesn't torture its listeners.

Once upon a time noodling, endless jams were cool to put to vinyl, and everyone would get mellow. Song's not bad, but the solo is irritating.

Hard to believe this is 15 years old. Sounds as fresh as the first time!

annoying then. annoying now.

Costello's first two albums are probably the best first two albums ever produced- full of amazing -short- songs. Every song is a winner. I know for me, they made the late 70's bearable.

Clutch tune! Underrated album, I think.

Everyone I know and respect LOVES this band. What am I missing?

This sucks. Psychadelic Furs rather sucked, too. Added on the suckage when they changed their name to Love Spit Love some time in the 90s. :P

I like his voice and music and style, I just wish he'd make more than one song over and over.

The CD? Or the LP? With the LP, you always had to get up and turn 'er over...

Sounds just as ridiculous as all Dire Straits songs.

Another 12!

My favorite Eno album as well! Highly recommended!

...get me OFF the bus NOW...ack!

I love the Hip
