From the original thread -

The Rough Guide to . . .

"This is the thread where we pretend we work for the World Music Network label and have been asked to compile a single-disc [repeat: single-disc] overview of a single genre for their Rough Guide series. "Genre" can mean whatever you want it to. Traditionally the Rough Guide discs have been over 60 minutes and/or at least 15 tracks long, though not always both. (The recent Rough Guide to Ska, for example, is 20 tracks totaling 48 minutes.)"

So . . . let's continue!

A bit off thread but I did not believe that Sam Fox track. But it's true..

Just because we're dancing
Doesn't mean that we're romancing too
Boy I hardly know you - so I have to show you

That it's not as easy as it seems to be
To get all what you want from me
It takes more than one night
Wait till the time is right
And right now I wanna - pump it - pump it - pump it

Hurt me, hurt me
I know you wanna take me home
But Baby, that's not what I want
Hurt me, hurt me
You can work my body all night long
But the pants stay on!

My reputation says, I'm not one for hesitation
But when it comes to - sex - I'm very, very patient

Boy it's not as easy as it seems to be
To get into my pants without getting into me
Now you know - this girl ain't no hoe
The pants stay on till I say so

Hurt me, hurt me
I know you wanna take me home
But Baby, that's not what I want
Hurt me, hurt me
You can work my body all night along
But the pants stay on!

All I need is time to get to know you better
Dancing's all that's on my mind - tonight

Hurt me, hurt me
I know you wanna take me home
But Baby, that's not what I want
Hurt me, hurt me
You can work my body all night long
But the pants stay on!

"There has been a recent spate of fantastic chinese pop songs that I'm sure people who are into Western pop would love. I recommend Jay Chou's recent albums as a starting point (traditional chinese instruments mixed with RnB) or I could make a tape for ppl who are interested!"

Do you know anything about Malcolm McClaren's new Chinese girl band? I think they're called Wild Strawberries. I've heard their version of Kung-Fu Fighting - or, at least, it sampled it heavily - and it raised my dander. They sounded worth investigating at any rate, even if they did sound a bit like Shonen Knife.

You have no idea how agonizing that was to me! I was briefly laboring under the mentalist idea that no one else loved that song as much as I do and putting it on would be deeply indulgent (see also: "The Him", "Lonesome Tonight", "Procession", "Everything's Gone Green", "Guilty Partner", "Rock The Shack").

Oh, man - I thought I scanned over everything, but I missed that. Yours is fine, but mine is probably a lot more pop and accessable. Somewhere in the other thread, there's a GBV Rough Guide which I kind of think is appalling (no offense to whoever made it) mostly because it omits almost all of their most pop songs in favor of weirder obscurities.

A slightly more ambitious Rough Guide:

(jess by 'already done' were you referring to the Jazzstep? by the by i thought your minimalist and artcore comps seemed mish-mash, but this is a reflection on the ambiguity of those two terms rather than your formidable knowledge - obv. 'uplifting' can have that same vagueness but i've used it in the 'light, positive, euphoric' sense with that last one. we got sub-genres locked down anyhoo)

Lotsa different ways to do this one.

A Rough Guide to Dylan Covers

Peter, Paul and Mary “Too Much of Nothing”
The Byrds “Lay Down Your Weary Tune”
Jimi Hendrix “All Along the Watchtower”
Fairport Convention “I’ll Keep it with Mine”
Bryan Ferry “A Hard Rain’s a Gonna Fall”
The Band “Tears of Rage”
Johnny Winter “Highway 61 Revisited”
Them “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue”
Lou Reed “Foot of Pride”
Jason and the Scorchers “Absolutely Sweet Marie”
Yo La Tengo “I Threw it All Away”
PJ Harvey “Highway 61 Revisited”
The White Stripes “One More Cup of Coffee”
Articolo 31 “Come Una Pietra Scalciaata (Like a Rolling Stone)”
Warren Zevon “Knocking on Heaven’s Door”

I choose "Weary Tune" over "Tambourine Man" because it's just as good and not as familiar. Can't avoid Jimi, though. Two "Highway 61"'s? Why not?

Re: Mr. Matos's Old School Rap...no "That's the Joint"?

Lee - the version of "ABITW" (Part III? Or was that Part II?) that was released as The Single is totally struttin' (albeit in a knuckle-rapped school uni cloistered way). Listen to how Roger Waters totally fights the funk with his plunkaplunk bass plodding - it's almost admirable.

David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 22:32 (twenty-two years ago)

yeh that could be a direct influence from 'Saturday Night Fever'

A Rough Guide To Non-English Language UK Top 10 Hits

Domenico Modugno – Volare

William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 23:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Sonic Youth 'Ca Plane Por Moi' as hidden bonus praps

stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 23:21 (twenty-two years ago)

oh wait that's got English in it (as has the original) i think

stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 23:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Just d/l'd Salva Mea by Faithless. Might even listen to it.

William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 23:25 (twenty-two years ago)

'Salva Mea' is all in English - it's a fantastic track though (Dido's first apperance on a single also)

a crying shame Ofra Haza didn't make the top ten eh? I've also just remembered Wes 'Alane' (#11), Mory Kante (#25) and Deep Forest(#10) - perhaps Sash! (hits in French, Spanish and Italin tho that's clutching with straws really as they're pretty much just the title of the song yelled in another language) or DJ Quicksilver (Bellisimo!)could've featured, as could Old Pav with 'Nessun Dorma'

stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 23:27 (twenty-two years ago)

You Can't have "A World Without Love" tho sadly, cos ace as it is, it's an actual Lennon/McCartney composition, so no dice surely..?

Same about "Come And Get It" and "Bad To Me". That in itself doesn't automatically mean they sound more or less exactly like The Beatles though, but those three do.

Here's a stab at a Muscle Shoals one, as requested by someone. I've mostly gone for hits, which seems to be kind of the point, and I've tried to hint at the way things went after 1977, but this one ends in '77, like everything else.

1. Arthur Alexander: You’d Better Move On
2. Wilson Pickett: Mustang Sally
3. Aretha Franklin: Do Right Woman, Do Right Man
4. James Carr: Dark End Of The Street

17. Art Garfunkel: Crying In My Sleep
18. Staple Singers: If You’re Ready (Come Go With Me)

(I have all of these records except one, in case we're still supposed ot be sharing that kind of information).

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 12:14 (twenty-two years ago)

william bloody was "du hast" a top 10 hit? or that mo-do track?

mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark - no. Rammstein have had a couple of top 40 hits, but both were in the low-ish thirties.

If by mo-do you mean Modjo, then yes, "Lady" got to #1. But it was all in English.

William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

no, i meant mo-do - that silly "eins zwei polizei" track - but if rammstein didn't even come close with "du hast" than i doubt they/he did

mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah right - brief check on Everyhit confirms Mo-do didn't make top 40.

Can't believe I forgot "Ecuador".

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 14:49 (twenty-two years ago)

You forgot "Nessun Dorma", Swygart.

Yeah, but, in my defence, I did remember PPK.

What about Nena?
Or Falco?

Nena's one hit here was in English. Falco... I did try to get Rock Me Amadeus and their other hit off Soulseek last night to check if they were in English or not, but couldn't find it .

William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 16:11 (twenty-two years ago)

"Rock Me Amadeus" is definately in German. with the occasional english word tossed in. (because er hatte flär)
Same goes for "Der Kommisar" (Sie sagt: "Sugar Sweet,
Jah' got me rappin' to the heat!")
"Jeanny" has the verses in German (as well as the "Newsflash" bit) while the chorus is in English.

willem (willem), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Falco have too much English in their songs, the titles for starters - only the verses are in German/Austrian, just as only the chorus in 'Macarena' isn't English

stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

we could nay should just PRETEND that Modo's 'Ei Zwei Polizei' was a top ten hit in the UK - it certainly DESERVED to be

Where is Otis Redding - Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa?

djdee2005, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I would definitely pick Dizzy Gillespie's 'In the Land of Oo-Blah-Dee' over that. Or Oscar Peterson's 'Mumbles'. But that's me (being a jerk).

Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I'd definitely pick Otis Redding over fucking Trio.

djdee2005, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:49 (twenty-two years ago)

(and incidently, the list is only 11 tracks long, I'm sure he has room for it)

djdee2005, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:50 (twenty-two years ago)

All additions are welcome - but no way am I taking Trio off.

o. nate (onate), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought Jordan was inferring something had to be removed.

But yeah, fafafafafa is classic shite.

djdee2005, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Just thought of another one:

Howlin' Wolf - "Wang Dang Doodle"

o. nate (onate), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

No, just that there are better nonsense Dizzy tunes.

Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I was also kind of trying to stick to songs whose titles are made up completely of nonsense words - I guess that's not an important requirement though.

Not necessarily.. that legendary first Mission Of Burma CD on Rykodisc clocked in at 80:11 I believe.

donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 22 January 2004 00:55 (twenty-two years ago)

At the very worst on the Motorik CD, replace the Beach Boys song with "All I Wanna Do" from 20/20. It's shorter and far more motorik sounding than "Heroes & Villians". (unless there has to be a lyrical reference to driving or travelling, in which case there are plenty of great shorter early Beach Boys songs which will qualify, like "Salt Lake City").

donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 22 January 2004 00:58 (twenty-two years ago)

19. Negativland - A Big 10-8 Place Part One (excerpt)

(I'd argue 'Gesang der Jünglinge' over 'Hymnen' because it's one of the first pieces that fuses concrète with electronic. Stockhausen claims it isn't 'concrète' but he's just talkin' loud, but if we want to be respectful, substitute it with '1st Centre DEUTSCHLAND-Lied' from Hymnen Region II.)

(Jon L), Thursday, 22 January 2004 02:30 (twenty-two years ago)

CDs often have a reasonable amount of buffer zone that you can over-ride your CD burner to use. The buffer zone goes from 5 seconds on some, to a couple of minutes on others - the only problem is that if you over-ride the buffer by 30 seconds and the CD can only hold an extra 15 seconds you not only lose the CD but quite possibly the CD burner.

I've only over-ridden a CD burner once: Prince - Sign of the Times onto 1 CD - something like 80.05 long.

I presume the Mission of Burma CD is just a carefully done over-ride by professionals.

At the very worst on the Motorik CD, replace the Beach Boys song with "All I Wanna Do" from 20/20. It's shorter and far more motorik sounding than "Heroes & Villians". (unless there has to be a lyrical reference to driving or travelling, in which case there are plenty of great shorter early Beach Boys songs which will qualify, like "Salt Lake City").

Thanks for the suggestions db (what do you think of the rough guide to motorik? i value your opinion in this matter! [recalling some comments you made on a krautrock thread]), I was already thinking about using an alternate take of "H&V" (which is 40 secs shorter) but I'll happily replace it with "All I Wanna Do" if that fits better (I don't know that song, will check it out though).

Strange that Dawn Penn's "No No No" made it onto both my rocksteady and your pop-reggae ones (the '68 and '94 versions). I gather that in both cases, this is a cover of an old Bo Diddley song I haven't heard, "She's Fine, She's Mine" (at least from what I gather from the net).

Anyone know the song's history? I've heard a garage version of it somewhere, which might be Thee Headcoats...

Pete Scholtes, Saturday, 24 January 2004 02:10 (twenty-two years ago)

aksherley "Higher Ground" is one of the more bearable later UB40 songs (not that that's saying anything at all). Banton's "Baby Come Back" was teetering on the brink of sounding like an outright parody at the time, and a couple of years later had fallen totally over the edge - I remember feeling that it, and everything it had stood for, had faded away definitively not that long at all after it hit #1. a Man Ezeke record, definitively (as "Gimme The Light" is a Westwood / Goldfinger record).

nickn (nickn), Sunday, 1 February 2004 04:21 (twenty-two years ago)

"The Red & The Black" is from the EP. The PE cover and the version of "Making the Freeway" are also really good on that one, but at least for me, I don't like it when the substitute live versions for the studio versions on a compilation. An exception might be something like Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me", which the live version is the most known and best one is OK.

earlnash, Sunday, 1 February 2004 04:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I was thinking "Slack Motherfucker" deserved a slot.

You know, I'm not sure of the date on that Moss Icon 7" -- I sold it years ago and that was the only date I could find online. The AF4 date is also from an online discog - damn punks never could properly date their records.

philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Wednesday, 18 February 2004 06:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, Hoover, and maybe even Admiral (though I don't know, as I was trying to stick to screamo instead of emo - the Moss Icon was sort of a bridge).

nah u probably just dont like them. fair enough.


piscesboy, Wednesday, 18 February 2004 18:30 (twenty-one years ago)

six from tasty?!

How's that? I count 4 (Milkshake, Trick Me, In Public and Millionaire). The 6:4:2 album ratio is about relative to how much I like each one.

"jedmond no can't stop?! no joy in reppetition?!!

If by "Can't Stop" you mean "Tick, Tick, Bang" then both it and "Joy in Repetition" were in the short list - I just wanted to represent other periods.

I'm mucking around with a Disco boxset for a friend, so I might be able to do Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards best productions Rough Guide if that's an adequate replacement for the Chic Rough Guide.

Me Stupid. Thanks. Can't Hold it /= Can't Stop

Have to admit, I wouldn't think of putting "Can't Stop This Feeling I've Got" unless the intro was hacked off (same with My Name is Prince but with the ending in that case - the minus Tony M edit).

Now I just have to do Rough Guide to Prince Funk, the Rough Guide to Prince Outtakes, and I will offically be pathetic. Matos, I beg of you, do Rough Guide to Prince Ballads, and/or Rough Guide to Prince Releases/Outtakes/Productions of other peoples work from 1986-87.

The Prince from 90's onward list is in dire need of "Morning Papers" and "In This Bed Eye Scream"

Jay Smooth (jsmooth995), Friday, 20 February 2004 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

that '90s list is preposterous, of course, because it does not include "La, La, La Means I Love U"

Matos W.K. (M Matos), Friday, 20 February 2004 03:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought of doing something kinda similar: Rough Guide to Foreshadowing-Their-Own-Death Songs, but it requires maybe too much work. (A few obvious ones: Sam Cooke, "A Change is Gonna Come"; Buddy Holly, "It Doesn't Matter Anymore"; John Lennon, "[Just Like] Starting Over"; Hank Williams, "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive"; Notorious B.I.G., "Ready to Die," et al. Creepiest comp ever.)

One obvious one: W. A. Mozart - Requiem

Curt (cgould), Friday, 20 February 2004 04:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Mr. Smooth, Matos, what can I say but: Shush. You two obviously just want more songs with Prince sing "la la la", but you fail to realise that it's what Jedmond rejects that makes Jedmond Rough Guides the best. "Morning Papers" did not go on because the Lovesign album already has four songs on it. True, Emancipation is under represented, but mainly because it's production kills a lot of great songs, and trust me, before putting on "La, La, La Means I Love U" (admittedly a great song), or "In This Bed I Scream" (admittedly a great title), I would have put on "My Computer". While "My Computer" maybe kitsch, it's beautiful kitsch. Plus, I love the idea of all these Kate Bush fanatics buying Emancipation, only to realise how much Prince wasted Kate's voice.

Can't stand it. Believe it or not, I like all these songs.

Joe Kay (feethurt), Monday, 23 February 2004 18:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Joe, do you know the brilliant "Football Story" by Dominick?

Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 10:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't know that one.
Actually, 'Vindaloo' was about the only one I left out deliberately (another reason for leaving that out was there was no way I was having 3 songs cheering England on), apart from all those songs by footballers/football teams ('Anfield Rap' excepted).
So all other suggestions welcome. I know there was a song about Leeds winning the Championship by an Irish band, but I couldn't remember either its name or the band's name

Joe Kay (feethurt), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 10:50 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a wonder. Funny-voiced London geezer chatting over very nice mid-80s Jammys beats. Can't say fairer than that. The LP he cut for Jammys is very good, and still pops up a lot for not much money in the cheapy bins.

5. Come In

12. 2/15

15. Wolf Among Wolves
16. Hard Life


This is impossible. Really skewed towards equal representation of his records (as well as I could! But nothing from Arise, Therefore and I love that record, so...) and it also came out as rather "polite" for Oldham. Someone else can get to the side of his work that includes "Riding", "No More Workhorse Blues" and "A Sucker's Evening".

Clay Smith (cws), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 11:42 (twenty-one years ago)

God Bless you clay. I've been intermittently trying to put an oldham list together but found it nigh on impossible. I just don't think it's possible to be representative of what he does in 16 songs. I think themes are the way to go and I like where you're going with the beginnings of that somewhat more deviant list.

hmmm, Tuesday, 24 February 2004 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

A religious oldham comp would be a doozy. you could also do love, loneliness, death, etc. etc. etc.......

willem (willem), Thursday, 26 February 2004 10:00 (twenty-one years ago)

hmmm -

Thanks! Yes, it is very hard to really "represent" Oldham's work without discluding a lot of really vital songs, and hard not to include all the vital songs without presenting a really wild comp as so much of what he does is thematically and lyrically so diverse (I'm sure that could be argued, but it's how I feel). I skewed to the "nicer" or what have you Oldham as that is the stuff that I think is probably easiest for most people to like, and what I tend to show people when I'm introducing them to his work. But to not have "The Way" on there breaks my heart. I'd love to sit down and work on some various thematic Oldham comps. I.e., Sin, Love, Regret, it's all there. You could probably drop a 15 song Oldham collection about adultery for Christ's sake.

cws (cws), Thursday, 26 February 2004 12:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the further away you get from listening to Oldham a lot the less diverse his stuff looks. This is probably true of most artists though.

Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 26 February 2004 12:06 (twenty-one years ago)

That is probably very true. I quit listening to the Stones about eight months ago and not it pops up on the radio or whatever and it's like "which album is this from? I forget. It's all the same." Though I would have never imagined myself saying such a thing not too long ago. So mark me down as an irrepressible Oldham fanboy.

cws (cws), Thursday, 26 February 2004 12:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I should say that I like him a lot BTW even if I can rarely remember what a specific song is called!

Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 26 February 2004 12:15 (twenty-one years ago)

haha yeah i own all (!!) of his albums, but i have no idea what most of the songs are called.

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 26 February 2004 12:25 (twenty-one years ago)

(not entirely true as i didnt buy anything that's come out since 2001)

Best footy song ever: "Nice One Cyril" by The Cockerell Chorus from about 1973.

I hate football but damn I love that song.

CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 26 February 2004 13:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I wonder what artists are the reverse: Close up all you can do is pay attention to common characteristics, it's only when you take a break do you realise how diverse the artists work really is.

I notice that football list is very uk centric, where's all the Rugby League songs: Tina Turner's "Simply The Best" for example - I want answers.

Jedmond (Jedmond), Thursday, 26 February 2004 14:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Nick H (Nick H), Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

That screamo one looks fantastic. Unfortunately, I imagine it would be fairly difficult to assemble via slsk/p2p. Getting zero hits for "Dance Ditch" thus far. I'm going to see if I can dig up my JHW 7" when I get home (though I suspect I gave it away some years ago)...

Spencer do you know about these new Trax 20th Anniversary compilations? one's all new stuff but the other is 3CD "Classics"--two mixed CDs, one unmixed, basically your Rough Guide.

Matos W.K. (M Matos), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I just looked it up (the classics) and yeah, the unmixed disc is similar to mine! (mine's better though, haha). I wonder how those mix discs are - I always like to imagine early house mixed in with old Paradise Garage style tunes.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

the mix discs are really really good

Matos W.K. (M Matos), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

ps i took a few liberties with editing a track or two slightly to make it all fit (mostly just getting rid of the part in "Where youth and laughter go" after the music stops for the first time)

pps i'm sharing this on slsk

Are you rentboy on slsk? The first couple of runs at searching don't appear to have found it thus far.

That's nice, but where's "Everytime You Touch Me" and "Natural Blues"? That piano riff on EYTM alone is one of the greatest things he has produced.

Have been thinking about doing one (grew up listening to him quite a bit as my parents are big fans) but bought Capitol Years: 1965-1977 which is a pretty complete document of his best output (great package/notes etc - and compiled by Saint Etienne!)

Obvious essential tracks:

Gentle On My Mind
By The Time I Get To Phoenix
Wichita Lineman
Galveston
Rhinestone Cowboy
Southern Nights

and my additional faves:

Mary In The Morning
Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife
Try A Little Kindness
Dream Sweet Dreams About Me
Don't It Make You Want To Go Home
Country Boy

There are other great tracks on that particular comp and it is highly listenable.
