Hello Stranger - Queen Latifah

I would love to hear the original Barbara Lewis version sometime.
Perfect Way - Sebadoh

I didn't realize this was Lou Barlow singing. Sounds good.
Soulful Strut - Young–Holt Unlimited

Wow, talk about a blast from the past! I think it was in '68!
Une année sans lumière - Arcade Fire
Posted 19 years ago by ollybear:
Album of the Year!
Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys
Posted 19 years ago by ollybear:
Nice to finally hear some Beach Boys on RP. There are dozens of songs such as Surf's Up, Til I Die etc. that would also fit the format, or why not play Brian's Smile masterpiece?!
Got To Give It Up - Marvin Gaye

Didn't we just hear this?
The Enemy Within - Rush
Posted 18 years ago by ollybear:
Great to hear Rush on RP!
Peace Like a River - Paul Simon
Posted 18 years ago by ollybear:
His first solo album is still his best! And this track is one of his most over-looked!
Come Back - Pearl Jam

Sounds pretty ordinary to me...
China Girl - David Bowie
Posted 18 years ago by ollybear:
I know in retrospect, this album is not considered one of Bowie's igher artistic statements, but China Girl is still a standout. I esp. love Stevie Ray Vaughan's big fat guitar notes!
All the Things I Wasn’t - The Grapes of Wrath
Posted 18 years ago by ollybear:
Sadly this band is no longer with us. I miss those Beatlesque melodies.
Star Witness - Neko Case
Posted 18 years ago by ollybear:
Anybody remember Sugar Hiccup by the Cocteau Twins??
Wild Wild Life - Talking Heads
Posted 18 years ago by ollybear:
Well if it isn't the Radio Paradise house band!
Rebellion (Lies) - Arcade Fire
Posted 18 years ago by ollybear:
Love it love it love it!
Wasn't Born To Follow - The Byrds
Posted 19 years ago by ollybear:
A true classic from the best Byrds album: The Notorious Byrd Brothers
The Bleeding Heart Show - The New Pornographers
Posted 19 years ago by ollybear:
One of the best albums of 2005!
As The Day Breaks (feat. Grant Lee Phillips) - Carmen Rizzo

Are you sure this isn't The Blue Nile?

My favorite Lennon song is one I can't find on any of his recordings. It's just John and his piano and he just sings "Genius is Pain" again and again over some beautiful chord changes on the piano. I heard it on a Montreal radio station while travelling in Quebec in 1973.
Anyone else familiar with this tune?
Sounds like you may have been listening to a National Lampoon spoof! I think they did one on Lennon called Genius Is Pain or something to that effect. I think the track breaks down into uncontrollable screaming towards the end.
I Believe in You - Talk Talk
Posted 19 years ago by ollybear:
Does anyone know the whereabouts of Mark Hollis? One solo album in '98, then he disappeared.
As You Said - Cream
Posted 19 years ago by ollybear:
This is one of those tracks that only begins to sound great after several listens.
