Funny how Kevin Alexander said the same thing on my follow up part 2 post! Band names and people names are both equally legit!

"The man, the myth, the monotone" gets me every time. ;) You should watch this version, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wijp4-3giNw

Yes, a much better version! Oh, how we have all aged....seeing Garry Shandling made me a bit sad.

Loved the Playlist, but I was stunned I only knew just 60% of it! Had never heard (or heard of...but, have since looked up!) Vanderslice, Pernice Bros., Night Moves, and had never heard the Tribe Called Quest song!

Little-known fact you know I love to leave you with.....it seems Jimi Hendrix had an early working title for the song of his you mention....yep, he had a friend whose son was having his bar-mitzvah, hence, "The Wind Cries Murray." Who knew?🤷‍♂️

I so want that Hendrix story to be true so I will not look into it. Vanderslice is a musical icon in the Bay Area. He started Tiny Telephone Studios (in Oakland now, after the SF office closed in 2020) which many great bands have recorded at. Vanderslice is connected to a ton of 90s-2000s indie bands. Too many to mention.

We didn’t start the fire by Billy Joel is now strumming through my head alongside the Gorrilaz “Clint Eastwood” - Loved this song!!!

What is the connection between "We Didn't Start the Fire" and "Clint Eastwood?" Is there one? I'm actively working to make sure that Billy Joel song doesn't become an earworm....

Can I have 'Neil Jung' by Teenage Fanclub? (it's extremely earwormy).

OK they've messed around with the spelling, but when you think about it that just means that you get two famous people for the price of one!

Hahaha! Yeah that song is on my Spotify playlist that I didn’t share in fact! I am so glad you suggested this one!
