101ers appreciation thread
Weren't great but you'd get a top class EP out of them...
1. Keys To Your Heart
2. Sweet Revenge
3. Rabies
4. 5 Star Rock n Roll Petrol
5. Surf City
6. Letsagetabitarockin!
Probably better than at least half of GEER?

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Motor Boys Motor is their second best song and should be included, you insane maniac.
Edit - But yeah, cool band. I love their versions of Junco Partner and Gloria, too. Those two songs really help you understand Joe's musical roots and where his mind was when the Clash was about to happen.

Re: 101ers appreciation thread
The 101ers made some solid music. I'm satisfied with Elgin Avenue Breakdown as-is.
The real problem is it just pales in comparison to the blasts of furious awesomeness we know that Joe would be helping to make from '76-'79. If Joe hadn't been attached, we'd all be chatting up how they're a cool little unknown pub rock band.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Letsagetabitarockin', just because it captures exactly what the band was about in a couple minutes. Plus it's an awesome pub rock tune.

Re: 101ers appreciation thread
London Calling is the best 101ers album
I like them although Keys' has never been a favourite. I love Joe's vocals on Sweet Revenge.

"Surf City" is cool Joe was a huge Beach Boys fan. Of course I don't how huge a fan he was because I'm just a fan I ain't written a book about it or anything!
And "Rabies" is as punk as anything by The Clash if not more so.

Re: 101ers appreciation thread
That whole album's quality. The absolute rawness lo-finess of the sound puts it in like Tom Waits territory. Rockin' Tom Waits.
Re: 101ers appreciation thread
Vocal's are pretty quiet, but I love the guitar part in this song.
