Happy New Year

 BACK TO THE TRIBUTES (2021)

"Tributes or not Tributes Vol 16 (1973-1984)"


Happy New Year
 
To celebrate, here's a new volume of the
which is actually part of the "Back To The Tributes" collections
featuring covers recorded between 1973 and 1984
 
and as the Flamin' Groovies used to sing back then

Take me back to times when I was young
So much fun
That we had
Girls I knew back then
Were so alive
And in their eyes
Was a light
To comfort me
Take me back to giant darkened rooms
Filled with sound
No one was sad
Everyone was there

To hear the band
Play real loud
Blowin' minds
Take me back...

(Jordan-Wilson)

Now remember what Johnny Ramone once said,

"Go back and learn the history.
Go back to the beginning of rock 'n'roll
and listen to everything that went down".

Such good taste here. I'd rank Joan Jett's "Bits and Pieces" and the Clash's "I Fought the Law" as among the best covers in the power pop universe. Thanks, as ever, Angelo.

Hello Angelo! It's been quite a while since we heard from you, are you OK? I hope 2021 isn't a bad year for you, thank you for everything you've done to spread good music up until now.

Man, I've been loving the TRIBUTES OR NOT TRIBUTES compilations since you started posting them back in 2006! I found them because friends of mine were on that first one you put together way back when. I'm so glad to see you're doing well and still sharing the classics.

During all the craziness, I spent a lot of time listening to these and a bunch of the other collections you've posted. I finally checked back in and am excited to find out that there is not one, but two new Tributes since I last stopped by. You keep posting them, we'll keep listening to them.

I just noticed that Volume 15 is no longer available on ZS. Any chance of reposting that one?

Thanks again for all your hard work on this site. It really means a lot to a lot of people. Stay safe and keep 'em coming!
