am I the only buk.net member that enjoys rap/hip-hop? Anyway, you can't deny this sentiment, or talent. Well, I don't know, maybe this song just reminds me of too many personal things, but it's good.
Ha, got ya! Well here's a good number 4. My good friend Marco Aiello doing Little Red Corvette at Ghengis Cohen's! You know, all the times I've been there I thought it was Ghengis Khan's, I've since been corrected to the whole Cohen thing!
Gerard, huge Eminem fan, but have no idea what that is? , was a big hit, but it's very different from the link you posted, is this the song/video you meant?
Wow, I swear to God, I'm going crazy! Earlier when I clicked on Gerards link it was playing some mash-up by like eminem and 2pac? Or my computer is crazy, but it was not Eminem's without you, though, now it is certainly the right song. Welp, I guess I've cracked.
For years all I listened to was sweet, lovely Punk. A friend of mine went to work for a music store and he drowned me in promo material and such. I gratefully took much of the free shit off his hands. Here in the States this was known as Waitia and I think it an amazing record. Bless his soul, he hooked me on stuff I'd never thought I would have liked.
4) Suicidal Tendencies - Instituionalized I saw these guys a few times in the mid 80's and once at a backyard party, I never feared for my life as much as I did that night. Pretty wild.

Great bass part in that song, which is, by all accounts, the mark of a great tune.
And Mark Farner did the lead vocals with drummer Don Brewer doing the harmony/backing vocals. At one point, Grand Funk was one of the biggest-drawing arena bands in the world. There's also a live version of this tune on youtube from Shea Stadium, '71 and around the transition point in the tune there's a crowd shot of some bearded guy tripping his ever-lovin' balls off. Classic stuff.
Here it is:
The whole viddy is very '71. Trippin' guy starts at 5:13.
These guys ( or some of them? any of them?..they still call themselves Grand Funk Railroad) played last night here at a county fair.. and a few years ago I lived in a small town in norther Mi. where Mark Farner was born...ya well, Whatever......
Cool. Also nice to see I'm not the only one surfing the Buk internet highway at 3am.
2) Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers - Chinese Rocks (man, even though Dee Dee Ramone wrote this song, Phil Spector and The Ramones absolutely ruined it. This Thunders version is unstoppable!)

4) Tenacious D - Fuck Her Gently (I remember seeing Tenacious D open for Weezer in Long Beach, Ca many, many years ago and when they played this song, the crowd sang along just as they do in this video. I went out and bought the album a few weeks later and this, 9 years later is still my favorite song from the album.
and apropos of fuck all: as every day passes, I dislike Henry Rollins more and more. even when I agree with him. maybe it's the tendons in his neck sticking out all the time, or the fact that with every syllable he utters there's a danger of getting showered with spit. he's a sibilant mofo.
7. Across the Universe - The "Beatles" from Let it Be - Naked.
To me, the best of the four versions readily available. This one is just John along with the sympathetic drone of what sounds like a tambura. No birds, no half-baked Apple heads doing "harmony," no psycho-nut-job wall of sound.
