Crock of Gold has probably two good songs on it.
Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I wont argue. I remember getting this as an import back when it came out so I could play it on my radio show. I dont recall what songs I would play off of it but it was a big let down from The Snake which I still include in my regular rotation.

Namely, More Pricks than Kicks and St John of Gods, but Shane's nasal, smacked-out vocal style of the time undercuts those too.

I gotta dig this out again. My friend used to play St John of Gods a lot on our show.Silent Majority wrote: ↑28 Oct 2020, 8:38amNamely, More Pricks than Kicks and St John of Gods, but Shane's nasal, smacked-out vocal style of the time undercuts those too.

POISON IVY OF THE CRAMPS: UNCROWNED QUEEN OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
https://pleasekillme.com/poison-ivy-rorschach-cramps/
“Nobody ever talks to me about music or guitar,” Poison Ivy Rorschach, the lead guitarist of the Cramps, once said, frustrated by the lack of serious attention given to her musical chops by the pop press. “I’m the Queen of Rock n’ Roll and for this to not to be recognized is pure sexism.”

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I once had a discussion with a woman about the amount of female artists in my musical library. Id never really given it that much thought at the time. So I started going over some in my head and the Cramps were certainly one because yeah Ivy is fucking great.Flex wrote: ↑28 Oct 2020, 2:57pmfuckin' a rightrevbob wrote: ↑28 Oct 2020, 2:37pmPOISON IVY OF THE CRAMPS: UNCROWNED QUEEN OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL

I was taken to task by a friend in high school over how masculine my CD collection was. If she could only see me now, she'd perhaps be pleased that I've swung completely in the other direction.revbob wrote: ↑28 Oct 2020, 3:02pmI once had a discussion with a woman about the amount of female artists in my musical library.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
One of my better lectures in the rock class—at least how its' been received—is about how music critics in the 1960s created a rock discourse that pushed black artists out—leaving them to r & b, soul, and funk—and limited women largely to being groupies. For all the stuff about rock and free expression and personal liberty, it's still pretty limited to white guys.Kory wrote: ↑28 Oct 2020, 4:45pmI was taken to task by a friend in high school over how masculine my CD collection was.
