In honor of the number of the day, I'm going to play some songs I first heard on WBCN (104.1 on the FM dial).
Billy Bragg - "Levi Stubbs Tears"
Gang Green - "Voices Carry"
Winner of the 1986 Rumble. I think that may be the more likely theme, though I'll throw in an early U2 song since 'BCN was an early champion.
Volcano Suns - "White Elephant"
Runner-up to Gang Green.
Ball and Pivot - "Down"
Didn't go too far in the '84 Rumble, but this is great coulda' been synth rock.
La Peste - "Better Off Dead"
The classic punk band won it all way back in '78!
U2 - "Out of Control"
From the first EP. Tell me that bass wouldn't be out of place on say a Stiff Little Fingers song.
Running Count: 650 songs for 2011
