Music Thread: Croc-Monsieur?

They don't have Crocs in France...this is the best I could do!

But they do have lots of other stuff that Garrett would like.

New Wave? Rock? Post-Punk?

I don't know, and don't much care, since those labels mean very little to me. But I do know that their music evokes lots of fun memories, and when I hear a Cars song almost never skip it!

***
Damned if I know much about them other than their hits, but this is an excellent song... Faces -- Ooh La La. Their pedigree is impressive, and Rod Stewart's voice is fun.
***

Banjos, violins, and...what's that? An Upright Bass? Even Buck Throckmorton would like this stuff!

***
One-Hit-Wonder Warning!

But it's a good one.

Good, solid, Rock and Roll! I love the groupies hanging out in the background, sitting on the band's motorcycles. And... do I see a tube top?

Van Morrison -- Wild Night

Nothing more to be said about Van Morrison. Great music.

Yes, he is a political lunatic. While I like what he has said about Covid-19, he is also a bit of a Jew-hater (he fits in well with the Irish government and, sadly, lots of Irishmen), and exposes the sad truth about most artists: they are pretty much f*cking retards about everything else besides their art.

Just shut up and sing/act/write!

I am not a fan of Pearl Jam, and I think Eddie Vedder is the quintessential idiot celebrity who thinks his thoughts on topics other than the best guitar pick are of some value. But I like this song. I have no idea what it's about... it is barely intelligible, although the guitar work is nice.

Eddie Vedder -- Rise

***
Of course, I think this is the true Eddie Vedder, and a clear explanation of his thought processes.

It's very late, so I will be unavailable to monitor this thread. But remember, all transgressions will go down on your permanent record!
