Hey, Lifer here to give you videos. That's all.
One of the Who's more underrated songs IMO. Because to me this is a top 5 song of theirs. For a few months it was my favorite song, until I heard American Pie a few more times (go ahead and laugh, Mac).
Their "weird" song from Houses of the Holy (the "weird" album), supposed to be pronounced "Jamaica", which didn't really work out. I'm a sucker for heavy drums.
So here's my second blog here in DPS,and my second the videos blog.I'd like to think my rock knowledge is expanding,and I've strayed just a little from the extremely popular songs here to share some that aren't as huge.
White Room-Cream

A truely wonderful song.My dad introduced it to me,raving of the Guitar solo by Clapton,just amazing btw.I love this video as well.
"Ill wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Originally, I called this the Karma Police top 100. However, if you all don't mind, I have decided to shift my blog over to DPS, where it is much more likely to be viewed by more people. If anyone has a serioius problem with this, I'll be glad to delete the blog and re-post it in KP.
Here is where 100-71 can be viewed
And now, I present you with the next 30 songs on my list. Also, people have been telling me some of my blurbs about the song are contrived and filled with no information (actually, no one has told me this, but they are). So to save your time and mine, I will refrain from writing pointless crap about songs I don't feel like writing about. Like the first one.
70. Spoon- I Summon You
69. Damien Rice- The Blower's Daughter
Damien Rice is sort of like Iron & Wine, but with a stronger voice and less interesting vocals. The Blower's Daughter is a song written about Rice's fiance at the time, who happened to play bass in his band. In fact, his whole first album, O, was written about her. Unfortunately, they split up, and his whole second album, 9, was written about that. Yeah, he's obsessed.
68. Death Cab For Cutie- Soul Meets Body
67. Iron & Wine- Jezebel
66. The Kooks- Naive
This song is dedicated to Cardsox
65. Portugal the Man- AKA M80 The Wolf
Portugal The Man is sort of an easier to listen to Mars Volta. In a way. Kind of. By reading the lyrics of this song, it appears to tell the tale of a painter or some sort of man that is forced to paint. By someone. It may all be symbolism. Who knows.
64. The Red Hot Chili Peppers- Can't Stop
The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been one of the most prolific bands of the last 20 years, releasing 9 albums since 1987 and many more live CD's and EP's. They have been one of the few bands able to adapt and transition from the funky late 80's to the more calm and generic 2000's. As witnessed by their last album, not necessarily a good thing, but hey, they're the one's making millions.
63. The Shins- A Comet Appears
62. Queens of the Stone Age- No One Knows
All I can say is this, no current band can make uality, riff driven songs, like Queens of the Stone Age can.
61. The Thermals- Returning to the Fold
60. Remy Zero- Fair
59. The White Stripes- Icky Thump
58. The Shins- Caring Is Creepy
The Shins are pretty much the poster child of indie music. Their relatively unnatractive, complete nerds, and they play good music. Never has an indie band gotten more attention (or sales) than the Shins have, and for good reason.
57. The Smashing Pumpkins- Bullet With Butterfly Wings
56. U2- One
One may be one (hahahah) of the best written songs of all time, and would be much higher on this list if it didn't have such a bring and clunky tempo.
55. Bruce Springsteen- Radio Nowhere
54. Wilco- California Stars
I just want to start off by saying that it's completely insane that the #1 played song on our local CLASSIC ROCK station is "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock...Granted, the song is basically "Sweet Home Alabama", but still...CLASSIC ROCK...
And with that, Volume 71 of The Videos features some big name bands and some fairly well-known songs, but whatever...
1. The Doobie Brothers-Long Train Runnin'
Ah...The Doobie Brothers...One of my favorite bands that I didn't know I liked...I went up to my friend's cabin over the Fourth and we saw one of our old teachers's cover band that played this song...Long Train Runnin' is probably my favorite song by the Doobies, who have so so many great songs...(China Grove, Takin' it to the Streets, etc.)
Without Love
Where Would You Be Now?
Without Love
2. The Sanford Townsend Band-Smoke from a Distant Fire
WOO! One Hit Wonder! The Sanford Townsend Band had this song...and...only this song to rely on during their careers. The good thing about that, is that it's a good song. "Smoke From a Distant Fire" is a very solid love song, even if the song was written kind of as a joke...
You left me here on your way to paradise
You pulled the rug right out from under my life
I know, most of you are thinking, "Wait, what the hell is he doing back here"? Well too bad, I really don't care what other people think. I am going to be posting five songs that I recently found. Not trying to steal Mac's idea, just trying to show you people some songs, and videos, that I really liked.
1. Creep- Radiohead
Mostly about the same old drama $hit that goes on during your teenage years. It's a good song, though.
2. Roxanne- The Police
I really didn't get this song. I just really like. A lot of it he says, "You don't have to put on the red light." ?
3. 29 Fingers- The Konks
"29 fingers, and we're having fun. 29 fingers, and only 6 are thumbs." Love the song. It's awesome.
4. In Bloom- Nirvana
This song is about when people like music like that, but don't even know what the song is about. I figured it out by "He's the one, who likes all our pretty songs, and he likes to sing along, and he like to shoot his gun, but he knows not what it means." One of my favorite Nirvana songs.
5. Say It Aint So- Weezer
Say it ain't so
