john sebastian cover by an unlikely band. sounds almost like black flag. falling apart the whole way through.

yeah, this is pretty amazing. maybe i should delve into some slade? i've never really explored second-tier glam too much actually. but i have friends who are really into it.

I don't know if I'd peg them as second tier glam. They were one of the better power units going around at the time, right up there with ten years after, UFO, the groundhogs, etc. And just like those bands, they stayed in business too long and got illegal. Slade up to alive is great, though, and well worth the listens.

by second tier i meant in reputation rather than quality. meaning they weren't as high profile as bowie, t.rex, etc.
