Getting their first two videos banned by the BBC helped Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

I think it would blunt the ending of Card Cheat. That song is the perfect side ender.

True. Men Without Hats went five years between Top 40 hits but they had a lot of singles on the dance chart.

You're welcome.

Men Without Hats made the US Top 40 twice, but few people know what the second song was. They did a lot of good music, especially their first three (Folk of the 80s/Rhythm of Youth/Folk of the 80s Part III)

Working in a Coal Mine almost made it (#43).

Agreed. But it could be great. Tommy or Quadrophenia work as double album rock operas on similar themes. The Wall gets boring when Waters keeps wanking off.

The Wall would be a great single album. The same with Sandinista.

That's all weak ass sh*t. L.A. Hardcore all the way. Maybe throw in some Midwest Industrial and New York post-punk.

The sone they covered by Don Henley had a Deadhead sticker.

Write everything down. Don't hold back even if you think it's stupid. Then let it sit and come back to edit.

Sounds like he's about ripe for a Rick Rubin produced late career album. A few unreleased tracks, a few unexpected covers, and one or two originals.

It's basically a remix, but A Fifth of Beethoven hit #1 in the US and top 40 in 14 countries in 1976.

It really is. From Rubber Soul onwards, the Beatles were strictly a studio band. They had to figure out how to do on stage what the Beatles did with a full studio. They have more musicians and modern technology, but Revolution #9 is challenging, and they make Tomorrow Never Knows an absolute banger live. Plus they play everything without breaks. They do rotate musicians, so individuals can sit out a few songs to eat and pee, but they keep going for 13 hours solid.

Not the original artists, but there is a group called Sargent Peppercorn's Lonely Hearts Club Band that comes together once a year in Columbus, Ohio and plays every Beatles album in a 13-hour marathon, usually along with a solo album from one of the Beatles members and a few tracks by the others.
They have the blessing of Paul and Ringo, both of whom have recorded introductions for the show.

I have tickets to see They Might Be Giants doing Flood plus a second set of greatest hits.
I caught Peter Murphy and David J touring for the anniversary of In the Flat Field. They did every song except Crowds, which Peter Murphy had not played live since the album was released. They had an opening act chosen specifically to play that song. Eventually later in the tour he would come out and sing it.

If I am completely honest with myself it probably is Yaketty Sax. Performed by The Art of Noise [with Bjork].

Because Waters pissed off the band. What we got was not worth wrecking Pink Floyd for.
