Fee Waybill Pick

After yesterday's PPP, it's not that surprising to see that today it's Fee Waybill that is picked. Fee Waybill was the lead singer of the Tubes and also had a bunch of solo work. He sang on quite a few tribute albums. His covers of ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Thin Lizzy, Beatles  and Van Halen are all pretty good. Most of which I included here on this compilation. He had several tracks that appeared on soundtracks and he had three solo albums, There's a sampling of those here and also several tracks from The Tubes. I made sure to include their track from Xanadu with Olivia Newton-John even though it is not one of their best tracks.  The cover includes Fee as Quay Lude.

Prairie Prince Pick

It was too easy to call it the Prairie Prince Pick, because of the illiteration, but it could have been Guest Pick or Family Pick just as easily. That doesn't run off the tongue as well, however. The Pririe Prince was mostly known for his work with The Tubes, but he was also a founding member of Journey (but didn't record on any of their albums) was in Jefferson Starship and played on several Todd Rundgren albums. He was in the New Cars and also was a studio musician playing with a bunch of bands. Some of them are on this pick. My favorites outside of those above are the Eno and the Zappa Early Renaissance Orchestra tracks. Tell me which ones you like best.

The Tubes Pick

I was very lucky to see the Tubes live several times. As an MC I even got to introduce them at two of their final last live concerts. They never quite got that to stick until most of them died. I know they have many greatest hits albums and all of them are quite good. But for this pick I chose my favorites. Some are "hits" and some are not even close, but I like them. Take for instance Malaguena Salerosa, I just love that song in general and have even made a pick of versions of that song. But was it a hit? No. But most of their songs weren't close to being hits, no matter how great they were. This includes songs from many of their albums but not all and you should get them all. They are all good. The first time I heard some of these songs, I was blown away. Been a fan ever since. I had fun with the cover.
