Wow, I just put on Meddle, and the opening few seconds just screamed to me that One of These Days has to be on this list.

Now that I think of it, there are a whole bunch of Roger Waters tunes that also need to be on it.

Was trying to think of something with a killer gruve and Stranglehold popped into my mind.
Stranglehold is on the 1st Ted Nugent solo album.

So add some.

Part of the fun of Sleater-Kinney is getting quite good bass guitar sound - with no bass. (hence the winky face) Guitar down tuning, particularly on the part of Corin Tucker works nicely. (and some synthesizer work, less fortunately, here and there)

Recent examples: Can I Go On and The Dog/The Body from The Center Won’t Hold.

Older: What’s Mine Is Yours and Steep Air from The Woods.

Yers, John
