Sorry, Joey and his Ramones ripped off this lot,

Heres another classic performance before punk was ever heard of,

Anyway dedicated to Tutsi, my American friends introduced me to this.

Great stuff, long before PC was ever invented.

Tutsi, first time I ever saw it in my life, guys driving round with a jam jar with a screw on lid full of white lightening.

Cant beat the South (it will rise again) LOL.

BN, always loved the lyrics to this,

you didn't stand a chance son, if your pants were undone.
`Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society ---
one day you'll wake up in the Present Day ---
a million generations removed from expectations
of being who you really want to be.

So as you push off from the shore,
won't you turn your head once more --- and make your peace with everyone?
For those who choose to stay,
will live just one more day ---
to do the things they should have done.
And as you cross the wilderness, spinning in your emptiness:
you feel you have to pray.
Looking for a sign
that the Universal Mind (!) has written you into the Passion Play.

Have to agree with you RGS, even Ramones admit to New York Dolls being a major influence. Killing several birds here,

Urban Guerilla, great song, but can it be classed as a single as it was banned ?

Jethro Tull, what can I say ?

Donovan Season of the Witch:

Anyone remember this? Had a good run for a long time.....

yeah...I remember it...I had just landed in Bolivia in 1965 after being exiled and was checkin' out what was to become my home for the next 2 years...both 'Sunshine superman' and 'Season of the witch' reverberated in me heid as a california surfer boy wanderin' about a town in the Andes...and I wasn't even on acid...

good post, I haven't thought about that in years...

and then later 'Hurdy Gurdy man' was popular when I returned in 1967...
