Music for the revolution in my head: choogling punks; power pop, both skinny-tied and long-haired; soul shouters and girl groups; bubblegum and acid rock; global fuzz; weirdos and outsiders, and the Weirdos and the Outsiders; Archie Shepp and J. Geils. Plus, live bands.

I remember seeing Jimi Hendrix's set when I was very young. I've pretty much thought rock music is about setting things on fire ever since.

Otis burns it down too.

Great set. Sad news from the Stranglers. Such an unusual collection of musical voices. So jarring and angular. Black and White was one of my earliest “Punk/NewWave” purchases.
