Yeah, Jody, hopefully this is the year they really get their due. What with that song on the Ladytron mix-CD thing and all. They really were one of the most incredible rock bands ever. It's really, really NOT all about "Venus"--they're just so far from being a one hit wonder, it's ridiculous.

Shocking Blue POX (aside from the ones mentioned already)
1) "Send Me a Postcard"-the song on the Ladytron
Softcore Jukebox collection, it could be a Deep Purple song)
2) Long and Lonesome Road (rocks almost as hard as "Send Me a Postcard"
3) Mighty Joe (their second American single, not as good as "Venus" but just about)
4) "Out of Sight Out of Mind" (not as psychedelic as it sounds, but really catchy)
5) "Inkpot"-Veryt bouncy folksy singalong, with a sitar. Or a fake sitar.
6) "Shocking You"-a very insistent record. They're shocking us, there's just no denying!
7) "Sally Was a Good Old Girl"-it's Jeannie C. Riley meets CCR kinda.
8) "Eve and the Apple"-"but she took the apple and we lost paradise!" Ooh!
9) "Let Me Carry Me Your Bag" -Mariska's gonna totally freak out if you don't let her carry your bag.
10) "Love Machine"-I like this better than "Love Buzz" myself.
But I'd definitely get "Love Buzz" and "Boll Weevil" . I guess you could call them a cod-Jefferson Airplane, but that's not really doing them justice. They're more earthy and pop. Just better.
Wasn't Mariska incredible looking?
