Mick Ronson’s “Play Don’t Worry” (a poll)

Message Bookmarked

All of a sudden, for 'Jack & Diane', Mick said 'Johnny, you should put baby rattles on there.' I thought, 'What the fuck does put baby rattles on the record mean? So he put the percussion on there and then he sang the part 'let it rock, let it roll' as a choir-ish-type thing, which had never occurred to me. And that is the part everybody remembers on the song. It was Ronson's idea." (John Mellencamp, Classic Rock magazine, January 2008, p.61)

Can only remember Bill Porter

Need to hear this one. 'Your Never Alone with a Schizophrenic' with Ian Hunter is a good album.

this is not a joke poll. you are doing yourself a disservice if you do not listen to the album prior to casting a vote.

for ultra skeptics i particularly recommend the VU cover* and the title track in addition to the aforementioned “billy porter” (which rules)

*scrapped from the “pin up” sessions and here given a delightful and hilarious arch vocal treatment from ronno
