From 1970 and the album Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus, here's Spirit, featuring their splendidly monikered lead guitarist Randy California, and the exquisite ecologically-themed ballad "Nature's Way."
As always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.

ReplyDeletePlaces, such as California, in songs and band names.
ReplyDeleteGroups featuring bald guys? Just another way to get in another Smashing Pumpkins video? I'll take Spirit anyday. :-)
ReplyDeleteHearkening back to a Listomania from a few weeks ago: Why wasn't "I Got a Line on You? a big hit? Prototypical Power Pop masterpiece. This video might considered a nasterpiece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDQUg3h63TI
The “can’t you smell that smell” list of bad moon arisin' songs warning that there’s a-trouble a-comin’ or a-brewin’ or at least a-lyin’ in a-waitin’? Lemme guess: the answer is ... here it comes ... NO!
ReplyDeleteFamily bands?
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no no and lest I forget...
ReplyDeleteno.
And I Got a Line on You was, if not a big hit, then at least a big fave on early FM radio, at least in NYC. I seem to recall hearing it Top 40 as well, but of course I was on drugs at the time so I could be wrong.
Okay, just in case anybody's still here -- the clue is the band's name, not the song or it's theme.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
