Album 1 Track 1 - Episode 5
One of my favorite eras in music is the moment just before punk rock exploded. Here, bands inspired by the Velvet Underground created music that was simple, creative, and energetic. Their influence is still felt today.
Included here are some of the most important bands of that time, such as New York Dolls, Television, and The Modern Lovers. Also included are the bands that were inspired by them, including R.E.M., Beck, and Violent Femmes.
Some songs are iconic, others lesser known; but they are all goodies.
Here is the playlist:
Roadrunner by The Modern Lovers
Wicked Gravity by The Jim Carroll Band
X Offender by Blondie
Modern Music by Black Mountain
Loser by Beck
Give It To The Soft Boys by The Soft Boys
See No Evil by Television
Blister In The Sun by Violent Femmes
The Step by !!!
The Creeps by Social Distortion
