Suggestion thread for Opening Song

[blotto98]

I'm sure they will pay no attention to this but at least we can share some songs we like with each other

Ok I'll start: "Surely" by Colin James

[Axem Red]

If were going with this weeks 80's rock trend then how about for the guys who want mainstream "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead and for the hipsters how about something from the Talking Heads like "Blind" or "Love For Sale".

[Freitag]

Satisfy the need for 80's Hair Metal:

Way Cool Jr. by RATT

[TooLowBrow]

"Don't You (Forget About Me)"
Simple Minds

Kids in America (Kim Wilde song)

[JohnWC]

So is it 80's week?

Public Image Ltd - Rise
New Order - Age of Consent
The Pixies - Debaser
Op Ivy - Sound System
Also anything by The Replacements... Left of the Dial would be cool.

[watson]

cancel the opening song and just get to the show 3 hours is too precious to waste on 5 minute songs

[clockworkjoey]

First time
By The Boys

or

situation
by slaughter and the dogs

[ZigZagBigBag]

shot in the arm-wilco

[danner1515]

We're doing 80's week, hmmm...

The Soft Boys - I Wanna Destroy You
Killing Joke - Eighties
Mission of Burma - That's When I Reach for My Revolver
Warren Zevon - Raspberry Beret

[Hottub]

I think I need a Pepper break.:annoyed: I know I'm not alone. Let him and Earl share the duties.
I'd say, at this point Earl 3 days, PH 2.

I agree with all of these choices...especially the Replacements!

[buzzard]

I know,I'm old! ..I get it!
Snowblind Friend-Steppenwolf or anything by leonard cohen

[yomudder21]

give me some stone roses.

[furie]

Are Friends Electric
by Gary Numan

get that new wave in there

[PistolPete]

I know it's been done before, but a little Allman Brothers Band never hurts.

[howmanyfingers]

80s songs..

ANYTHING Morrissey or the Smiths
Ceremony by New Order (or Age of Consent as suggested by JohnWC)
The Lung by Dinosaur Jr

I tried sorting my iTunes by date but I lack any credible 80s songs! I was only born in 1981 so I have a good excuse.. no one was listening to credible bands until they were at least 10 :)

[Freakshow]

I thought the posts 'guessing' in the listening threads were suggestions for opening songs, rendering this thread pointless.

[Ritalin]

Alright, if I had to pick one song that wrapped the 80's up with a bow on top it would be.........China Girl by David Bowie.

[realmenhatelife]

Divide and Conquer- Husker Du
Banned from the Roxy- Crass
Banned in DC - Bad Brains
The End of Radio or Kitty Pants- Shellac
Entertain or Words and Guitar- Sleater Kinney
Whiteout- Bosshog

[silas]

Even in the few previous posts, way too many great cuts or genres.

Apart from when there is an over-riding, can't ignore theme ( i thought "life during wartime" was one of the most exciting R+F into's ever, even tho i never much liked the TalkingHeads)....i think that tunes that just a bit out of common knowledge for me are often cool...and i suppose even that is endless.

Then again, that was more relevant about 5+ years ago; maybe today's show/current affairs theme makes more sense now.

[drjoek]

Looking forward to Sounds of the Seventies next week in Roctober

Little Feat Fat Man in the bathtub
Small Faces Stay with Me
The Spinners One of a Kind (Love Affair)
Allman Brother Whippin Post
Parliament Give Up the Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)

[Lansingham&egger]

How about some Ryan Adams not to be confused with Bryan Adams. Or hell even some Morrisey would be cool.

[Lansingham&egger]

HowManyfingers I'm with you some Smiths and Morrisey would be great. Good call I missed your post before I left mine.

[Enabler]

Last time Earl opened the show with Suedehead about a year ago he was ridiculed for about 15 mins. It was funny but i love that song. This thread IS pointless by the way.

Name me a thread here that isn't pointless. Its here for entertainment purposes so please no wagering

sorry. you're right

[deepinthewoods]

The song that I am going to write into this thread that no producer will ever read is Godstar by Psychic TV (1986). It is a deceptively catchy song about the death of Brian Jones.

I agree. We need a good mix of Pepper and Earl.

[realmenhatelife]

I can't take Earl picks, the only rock stations around anymore play nothing but earl picks all day, I got xm for pepper picks.

[EliSnow]

You got XM for Pepper Hicks? Sounds a little gay.

Also, while Earl does get into WNEW Earl a lot, he wasn't like that every day.

Finally, that'w why we're calling for a a mix of Earl and Pepper. We don't want 100% of either. I like to hear new stuff sometimes, and familiar stuff others.

[silas]

I way prefer Pepper-picks over Earl MOR, but i would guess that i'm like many in also being familiar w/ most of pepper's picks as well.

I think a wide variety might work best, even occasionally including a Fez novelty song like todays......and why not an occasional opera, classical or "standard" etc...? .

Also, i think tie-ins to the show (whether from current bits or upcoming) work well.

[TeeBone]

Traffic's, 'Empty Pages'
or
Clarence Gatemouth Brown's, 'Dollar Got the Blues'

[contentsky!]

I'd like to hear Deep Purple by Smoke on the Water

[epo]

I'd like to hear Deep Purple by Smoke on the Water

Try XM 46 "Top Tracks". They'll play plenty of that stuff for you.

[contentsky!]

hey thanks!

[BrokenKnuckle]

"Everybody Knows" by Leonard Cohen

[Crispy123]

Loved the Brokeback mountain intro yesterday, maybe today Fez will do the Satan and Saddam song from South Park. :clap::clap::clap:

[danner1515]

I wonder if "Afternoon Delight" will be one of Fez's openers this week.

I'm perfectly happy with having Pepper at the wheel. I like Earl, but his picks have been really shaky over the past six months or so.

Radio Birdman- descent into the maelstrom or Non Stop Girls

[9mileskid]

[dudemanjac]

What was the name of the Song they played on 11/06?

[mikeyboy]

What was the name of the Song they played on 11/06?

"Try It Again" by The Hives.

[contentsky!]

I was really hoping Gene Vincent's "Cat Man" was going to make the cut for 50s erocktober, but I think its appropriate for Mr Whatley.

Also, all I can think about after today is cutting a cat open that is pregnant with worms, a la the cutting of the snake in Temple of Doom.

[derrickgott007]

Or Maybe a little Suicidal Tendencies?
