Delroy Wilson – This Life Makes Me Wonder (1968)

It’s been a few days since I last posted a reggae classic and this is right up there among the all time greats.

Wonderful rcoksteady genius from Delroy Wilson in 1968. The beat over this never stops and the chord sequence over the chorus on this is just sublime.

Husker Du – Books About UFOs (1985)

Okay, the weekend starts here pop pickers!

One of the greatest records by one of the greatest bands of all time! Taken from their fourth LP, Husker Du perfect the buzzsaw guitar, wall of sound, pop combination to hit the rock’n’roll heights.

Bob Mould had some much darker times to come (“59 Times The Pain” and “Hardly Getting Over It” are records of enormous power) but this “ditty” was written and sung by another key player, the drummer, Grant Hart.

So Husker Du in whimsical mode – still outshines 99% of what has happened since!
