Might throw some Gram Parsons on 3 & Nirvana demos from the box set on 1.

Hm on further consideration Watussi can go. Too cold for that disc. No space for it on 2. Oh well.

Thought it may be “fun” to try smaller-scale/hyperlocal takes on this thread’s original concept—in this case, starting at the ocean and heading east:

Santa Monica - Everclear
West L.A. Fadeaway - Grateful Dead
Beverly Hills - Circle Jerks
West of Hollywood - Steely Dan
Hollywood - Rufus & Chaka Khan
Los Angeles - X
East L.A. - War
Pomona - Hi Fi Killers
etc....
