THE NUMBER OF THE...

[Vyn]

Punks doing punk things with 53rd and 3rd, wherein the Ramones sing about DeeDee playing chicken hawk out on the street corner. Grim stuff, indeed!

From 1976:

I'll do a Gospel favorite of mine, "Ninety-Nine and a Half Won't Do"

Dorothy Love Coates wrote the tune and did the original recording, which was slower and more deliberate. Sister Rosetta Tharpe sped it up, got a drummer with a backbeat and added a guitar solo.  In terms of musical history, this is one of those important tracks that got the rock and roll thing rocking and rolling.

A little behind after being busy for most of yesterday and today. I'll try and do a second post later.

Pick no.3

The Sex Pistols - Seventeen

Plenty of music styles to choose from so I' thought I'd go with a punkier effort this time!

[Vyn]

This song cranks, and reminds me of something a gamer would listen to whilst enthralled in a session of World of Warcraft.

At least, they would be listening to it since 2014, the year DragonForce offered Three Hammers unto the unsuspecting masses of power metal fans!

For my number 4

I present you BENEDICTUM and oddly enough a song called #4!!!!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Pick number 4

Black Country Communion - One Last Soul

From the S/T debut, this live version is as good as the studio version really.

[Vyn]

From 1995, Death sings about surveillance in their heartwarming song, "1000 Eyes".

[Zzzptm]

For my fifth entry, I got the psychobilly stylings of Reverend Horton Heat doing his tune "Five-O-Ford":

And for fans of Five, there's also Dave Brubeck...

My number 5 comes from the Metal Queen..

She did this song to celebrate her 25th anniversary and it's simply entitled 25 Years!

[Vyn]

Funkified by Morris Day working with Prince back in 1982, this is from The Time's second long player. The title is a phone number, but it is not Jenny's.

Almost a Prince song, here is 777-9311:

[Zzzptm]

Funky numbers? How about Isaac Hayes' "Good Love (69969)"?

Excellent bass line in that track, among other delights.

Pick #5

Iced Earth - 10,000 Strong

Ripper in fine form here off the Framing Armageddon album

[Charger]

^^^
Ouch. That one came right off my list! You stinker!

[Vyn]

From 1970, before he checked into that hotel out in California, Joe Walsh  wrote a follow-up to "Funk #48“ and called it:

"Funk #49”

Played by James Gang:

[Charger]

The 6th choice for me is about drag racing and the feeling you get in those 10 SECONDS!

Mr. BLAZE BAYLEY delivers the goods!

This live version comes from The Night That Would Not Die!
