Five classic tunes with super-solid rhythm tracks.
Björk - Army of Me (live)
Having a Björk Live Box revival to make up for her sold out London gig. The drums!! And that voice...Grizzly Bear - Cheerleader
Still an absolutely magic album. Details that bloom with every listen. Cryptic lines that somehow seem to mean everything in the moment you hear them. Every song on it makes my heart swell.
Jefferson Airplane - She Has Funny Cars
What a way to open a record! The sheer sonic space of this track is astounding. And then the second track is Somebody To Love and Grace Slick & Co have pretty much won on knock-out.
R.E.M. - Can't Get There From Here
Was listening to this while on a bus in Edinburgh. Should always be listened to in transport, while dreaming about other places, other cities where one has left a piece or two of oneself. And in addition to the sweet sweet interplay between the guitar riff and the straight-played drums, I really, really love Stipe's voice in this one.
Led Zeppelin - Misty Mountain Hop
Bonzo and John Paul Jones relentlessly driving home their excellence.
...and baby, baby, baby, do you like it?
