well, thats all i can think of for now (and with my luck, Zella or FB, or Paul Uk or Bobo knows all of these lol....)...I really pciked them because some of these in the past, I used them and no one knew them, so they may not be as obscure as Zellas and FBs, but they are somewhat obscure....... ;D

Here are my ratings for those which I know !  :D

Here comes the night-Them  4 - One of Them's best efforts (that was very good grammar wasn't it)  :D

Ah! leah-Donnie Iris 4 great song
Smoking Gun-Robert Cray   4.5

Oh my good gawd! More obscurites...! Should do a bit better on this...but not by much...!

Here Comes The Night - Them 4 - good version of the Bert Berns tune by Van & Co...however, I would steer clear of Lulu's version from around the same time...

Smokey Places - Corsairs 5 - great piece of doo-wop...

Talk Talk - Music Machine 4 - good garage belter...

(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet - Blues Magoos 4 - comments can be found on hannahbear's posting...

Hungry - Paul Revere & The Raiders 4 - despite the outfits(!), this lot were a dam' fine outfit (pun intended)...this, though not their best, was a good example of what they could do when on form...

One After 909 - Beatles 2 - turgid song which meanders along looking in vain for a hookline...over here, this was seriously (at one point) going to be the follow-up single to 'Please Please Me', but they (wisely) chose 'From Me To You' instead...

King Midas In Reverse - Hollies 5 - Graham Nash's 'masterwork'...fabulous swirling piece of pop-psych, which left the public scratching their heads...

House Of Cards - Wink Martindale 2 - or, possibly 'Deck Of Cards'...completely corny narrative about the soldier using the deck as a Bible, etc...a bit heavy-going after one listen! It's also a con...when you count the spots on a deck of cards, it's got to be divisible by four...so there can't be 365! (I really must get out more...!)

It's My Life - Animals 4 - big hit here...rousing shoutalong number with Eric on top form...

I Want To Walk You Home - Fats Domino 4 - simple, lazy, laid-back rumbler from the 'Fat Man'...not his best, but still a fine performance...

Surfin' Bird - Trashmen 5 - two minutes of sheer, goofy, lo-fi class - knocked me out totally when I first heard it...

Just Dropped In - Kenny Rogers & First Edition 4 - Kenny as psych-star?...there's a novelty! Don't be fooled, folks...it's a great number...!

Keep On Dancing - Gentrys 4 - another lo-fi classic, complete with false ending, which probably screwed some DJs up...!

Hot Rod Lincoln - Commander Cody 3 - passable version, but Johnny Bond's version is much better...very wordy song which must be awfully difficult to sing...

Well, Billy - not quite all...there's a few there that I should and do know by sight, but (shamefully) haven't heard in ages...I'll try and put that right sometime...

Very clever list embracing a lot of genres...well done...!

Ah! Leah - Donnie Iris  5 8)

The Card Cheat-the Clash  5
Lovers Rock-the Clash 5

I agree Billy, pretty much everything on London Calling gets a 5 from me too, apart from Guns Of Brixton which I think was the first and only time they let Paul Simonon take lead vocals. I love Train in Vain too.


Surfin' Bird - The Trashmen 4.5
this is the one on the soundtrack to "Full Metal Jacket", am I right? during the part where they're in Vietnam and the army media unit comes to film them? I love this film...the soundtrack's great too.
