You are right on "Already Gone" and "Sitting In My Room." The thing is that "Already Gone" is NOT A BAD SONG, probably because it wasn't written by the EAGLES.

REV . NORB ,YOU ROCK.   I  WILL COMMENT ON THIS LATER , MAYBE TOMMORROW. I AGREE ABOUT "YOU SOUND LIKE yOU'RE SICK" AND "SITTING IN MY ROOM".....EVEN THOUGH THE GUITAR PART SOUNDS MORE LIKE "i'M aLREADY gONE" BY tHE eAGLES THAN "The KKK Took My Baby Away"ever sounded like "He's a Whore" by Cheap Trick.

John I am not with you, though I like your support of the Ramones! 

I personally think the shark jumped on Turn of the Century.  Talk about two great tastes that taste terrible together.  A minimalist band working with Phil was not a good idea (though probably not obviously a bad idea until after the fact). 

I personally think they jumped back with Pleasant Dreams which is criminally underrated and full of 90% great songs. I see it as the 1st real Joey solo album.  I get why people hate the production but I like it. 

After Pleasant Dreams there are definitely still moments of greatness.  But a truly great album from start to finish?  Personally I don't see it. 

There are some good songs on Subterranean Jungle and Too Tough to Die for sure, but there are a helluva lot of filler on them and some plain bad songs. 

After that it's pretty dire.  Still some good songs to be found here and there for sure like Pet Semetary and Spiderman, but you have CJ singing random songs on the later stuff (why????) and other weird things going on.  I mean on Animal Boy the only good song was written by Richie!  What the hell??

Then Daniel Rey starts to become involved on and off who is always a kiss of death (see the nu-misfits). 

Anyway after that ramble, even though it's not technically later I think Pleasant Dreams is their best mid-way album. 

By default even though I think it's quite weak Brain Drain wins for the later albums just for having Pet Semetary and Merry X-mas on it.   Many people seem to hate those as well but I think they are highlights. 

I also like random stuff like Daytime D. (I can't say why), Mama's Boy (again I can't say why) and Poison Heart (which is the kind of song I usually despise but for some reason it works for me).

Favorite fuckin song!

Nitroglycerine Lyrics

The Gories

She fights like a cornered animal.
And she shows all her claws.
Says all the wrong things to hurt me.
She just knows them all.
One second and she's so shy.
Then she just blows up.
It's like dropping a stick of dynamite,
In a Dixie cup.

She's volatile.
She's my baby.
Nitroglycerine.
Nitroglycerine.
Nitroglycerine.

She'll tantalize me.
Till I got to explode.
When I'm up there with her.
You just go go go.
Then she starts to bite me.
Man I just don't know.
She starts taking chunks of flesh.
Like a dog on a bone.

She's volatile.
She's my baby.
Nitroglycerine.
Nitroglycerine.
Nitroglycerine.

I just don't know.
What'll happen next.
Will she want to fight with me, or
Will she just want sex?
I say girl you get us killed.
She just laughs and says,
Baby, if I die with you,
It'll be the answer to all my prayers.

She's volatile.
She's my baby.
Nitroglycerine.
Nitroglycerine.
Nitroglycerine.

Here's another one.  I think it was originally done by Frankie Lane but everyone else on earth has done a version, too.

Jezebel.
Jezebel.

If ever the devil was born,
Without a pair of horns
It was you,
Jezebel, it was you.

If ever an angel fell,
Jezebel,
It was you.
Jezebel, it was you.

If ever a pair of eyes,
Promised paradise.
Deceiving me, grieving me,
Leavin' me blue.
Jezebel, it was you.

If ever the devil's plan,
Was made to torment man,
It was you,
Jezebel, it was you.

'Twould be better I had I never known,
A lover such as you.
Forsaking dreams and all,
For the siren call of your arms.

Like a demon, love possessed me,
You obsessed me constantly.
What evil star is mine,
That my fate's design,
Should be Jezebel?

If ever a pair of eyes,
Promised paradise.
Deceiving me, grieving me,
Leavin' me blue.
Jezebel, it was you.

If ever the devil's plan,
Was made to torment man,
It was you,
Night an' day, every way.
Oh, Jezebel, Jezebel, Jezebel.

isn't there a Teenage Shutdown volume loaded with songs like this? i'd look but i'm nowhere near my records.

"Gimme Danger" by the Stooges.

The chick is pure trouble. It's the kind of chick that you know will show you a good time, but will absolutely wear you out or land you in serious trouble.

Is the song pure trouble or the chicks?

Bikini Girls With Machine Guns by The Cramps

What A Way To Die by The Pleasure Seekers

the theme of songs that'll get ya in trouble w/ yer lady: the Devil Dogs "Get On Your Knees" (my personal fave and accidentally played in my wheels while on a first date with a chick who certainly didn't dig it...)

"The Girl of My Dreams" (is giving me nightmares) by Machine Gun Fellatio. Not a garagepunk song, but MGF isn't easy to categorise, besides just being bloody good fun.

Bikini Girls With Machine Guns by The Cramps

What A Way To Die by The Pleasure Seekers

"Born to Be Bad" by the Runaways

I'm putting together a playlist of songs about chicks who are nothing but trouble. I have a handful of songs so far - including "She's Trouble" by The Guilty Hearts and "One Hot Kitten" by Graceland Mafia. What are some of your favorite songs about chicks that might show you a good time but will land you in trouble?

Well, well, you learn something new every day.....!

D.

How 'bout PUSSY GALORE's "Biker Rock Loser"? Love this tune, ha!

Hotties:)

How about these grooved out babes:):):)!!!!!

I'll give you MORE man........YOU axed for it :):):)!!!!!!

Not quite sure what "beachy" means, as it isn't a term I'm familiar with, and you may already be listening to this stuff, but for lo-fi, fuzzy pop I'd say go back to the C86 stuff from the mid-80s.

Bands like The Pastels (male vocals), Shop Assistants and Tallulah Gosh are definite predecessors to the Vivian Girls. I'd also check out some early My Bloody Valentine (male vocals) and Black Tambourine.

Beta is better than nothing...
