Completely Conspicuous 665: Choose Your Fighter


Listen Later

Part 1 of my conversation with guest Phil Stacey as we pick our favorite songs by randomly selected artists.

Show notes:

  • Phil's idea: Blind rankings
  • We each pick 10 artist names out of a hat and name a favorite song for each
  • Phil picks names from N-Z, Jay gets A-M
  • No prep time for our answers
  • Phil: Velvet Underground
  • Plenty to choose from
  • Trying not to choose popular songs
  • Jay: B-52s
  • They made the "no play list" at Jay's wedding
  • Great catalog of bangers
  • Phil: Talking Heads
  • Band had different phases
  • Mixed Afro rhythms, funk and skronky guitar from Adrian Belew
  • New David Byrne album is good
  • Jay: Living Colour
  • Band played many different styles well
  • They still bring the heat
  • Phil: Neil Young
  • A musical chameleon
  • Amazing solo or with Crazy Horse (or other backing bands)
  • Jay: Grateful Dead
  • Easy choice
  • Always had a favorite song by them
  • To be continued
