Larry Lurex (Freddie Mercury and members of Queen) - I Can Hear Music (1973) More info here. You can already hear Brian May's multi-guitar leads. "No Synths"? What's the difference? Synths or multi-track guitars?
Larry Lurex - Goin' Back (1973)
Bobby Lee Trammell - Long Tall Sally (1965)
Bobby Lee Trammell - Mayonnaise (1967)
Bobby Lee Trammell - Tator (1964) Is this live or a fake crowd noise? No way to tell. Sounds real, but why would a bunch of kids be excited about a dance called "Tator"?
Bobby Lee Trammell - Twenty-Four Hours (1965)
Bobby Lee Trammell and the Jordanaires - What Is This World Coming To (1968) He mentions The Beatles somewhat obliquely, the Texas Tower Killer, and others. He turns from rockabilly rebel to country bumpkin as market dictates, I guess.
Bobby Lee Trammell - Love Isn't Love (Till You Give It Away) (1972)
Cher - Masters of War - (1968)
Count Basie - I Wanna Be Your Man (1966)
Tom Wilson - Lesbian Seagull (1979)

NRBQ - Ridin' In My Car (1977)
NRBQ - I Want You Bad (1978)
NRBQ -Me And The Boys (1980)
Quiet Riot - Back To The Coast (1977) One of the worst bands I've ever heard. They worked very hard for their fame, true, and Randy Rhodes was very good. But I cannot say I like anything I ever heard of theirs.
Quiet Riot - Just How You Want It (1977)
Quiet Riot - Suicidal Show (1975)
Quiet Riot - Back To The Coast (Demo Version, I HOPE) (1975)
Sonny and Cher - Circus (1968) More disdain for rock music and young people in general, a common theme for Bono. Like a strangely out-of-touch extension of "I Dig Rock and Roll Music" by Peter, Paul, and Mary.
Sonny Bono - I Just Sit There (1967) More disdain for the young people of that era. This one is 11 minutes long. So it's like a strange mantra as if it was sung by a drunken middle-aged Uncle. I honestly can't believe this was released. Sonny Bono's lone solo record. As if you needed more evidence that he was a blight on the entire scene. I don't think Cher was much better, but she at least recorded some excellent singles in the early 70's without him.
Tiny Doolittle & The Twisters - The Twist (1962?) A rote, but somehow worse rendition of this warhorse. Sometimes Shazam surprises me!!
Bo Diddely - Bo Diddley (1969) Why did he rerecord this? New record company probably. Although last in the US Top-40 with “Say Man” in 1959, Bo continued to issue records on Chess’ Checker subsidiary throughout the 60s, some of which, such as “You Can’t Judge A Book By The Cover” in 1962, charted.
The Bo Gentry-Ritchie Cordell team made some great records in the late 60s; notable with Tommy James & The Shondells, for whom they produced such classics as “I Think We’re Alone Now” and “Mony Mony”. They were great songwriters too, having written or co-written most of the songs they produced.
Homer and Jethro - What A Lousy Day Was Yesterday (1966) Listen for their Beatle reference followed by a half-measure guitar motif, instantly recognizable. Harmless Fun.
Lee Hazlewood - These Boots Are Made For Walking (1966)
? - Smokin' -
Nino Tempo & April Stevens - I Love How You Love Me (1966)
NRBQ - Fergie's Prayer (1969)
Ray Stevens - Bubblegum The Bubblegum Dancer (1971)
Sparks - The Wedding of Jacqueline Kennedy to Russell Mael - (1975) I HATE Sparks. That's why I never play them.
THIS IS THE IN-SOUND!!!! Record promoting the US Army under the aegis of something called "In Sound with Harry Harrison" - Napoleon XIV giving a cryptic, strangely somnambulant interview. (1968)
The Wayward Bus - Predictions by David Hoy (1968) RCA 47-9484; wr. arr. & cond. Tupper Saussy; produced by Chet Atkins & Felton Jarvis. Felton produced Elvis. Why'd it take two heavy hitters for this? In any event, I love it!!
Bay City Rollers - Hello & Welcome Home (1979) LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG after their moment in the sun, they kept recording, and sounding like a better-produced Badfinger.
