Day 52

Break from the guitarists. Let's catch up on some housekeeping...

Fluid - "Black Glove"

Guitarist Rick Kulwicki passed away last week.

Frantix - "My Dad's a Fuckin' Alcoholic"

Rick was in this 80s band pre-Fluid.

Prong - "Freezer Burn"

From 1989, song may date back a bit before, band that never had its due. Unable to find a full version of the original of their best non-cover song.

The Police - "Voices Inside My Head"

From Vinny...let's head back to the guitarists...

Van Halen - "Mean Street"

#70 Eddie Van Halen. Another one who's far down the list from where I expected.

Yes - "Starship Trooper"

#69 Steve Howe. Always had a soft spot for this band's poppier stuff.

Moby Grape - "Omaha"

#68 Jerry Miller. Always thought Skip Spence was the main guy in th'Grape...

Link Wray & His Ray Men - "Rumble"

#67 Link Wray. Would have put him further up on the list, ahead of Duane Eddy for sure. I could probably fill a week with this stuff.

Living Color - "Cult of Personality"

#66 Vernon Reid. Sorry for going with the obvious choice.

Howlin' Wolf - "Smokestack Lightning"

#65 Hubert Sumlin. Complete blank here...I thought Mr. Wolf was a guitar player himself.

David Bowie - "Moonage Daydream"

#64 Mick Ronson.

Running Count: 339 songs for 2011. More later likely.
