hard to imagine not voting for Accept here
― Kieth Encounter (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 25 January 2023 17:51 (one year ago) link
ok it's definitely Accept with CB4 my distant second choice
― Kieth Encounter (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 25 January 2023 17:52 (one year ago) link
no 4 for hayes is higher than I'd have guessed considering what the UK charts have tended to miss
I never knowingly heard the accept before and it does have a certain camp appeal but it basically sounds like what you'd imagine a german hard rock song with that title to sound like doesn't it. great sleeve though

You should listen to Accept. They were, as you say, a German hard rock/metal band whose English was not the greatest, so their (female) manager wrote a lot of the lyrics under the pen name "Deaffy" and some of their songs, particularly on the BttW album, are really "they can't have meant it that way, can they?"

i saw isaac hayes live and he played "chocolate salty balls" and i enjoyed it in that context. i have never chosen to listen to it but he sang it that time and his band was good and he made it fun because he was having fun. it was especially good because he opened the show by thanking the audience for wanting to "see somethin wit a liil substance" - all weird like that all dragged out idk.
anyway, that's why i'm voting for "chocolate salty balls."

Heavy Cochran, that is.
Apparently, it's them from Stavely Makepeace/ Lieutenant Pigeon

I never actually listened to Balls To The Wall, ever, and then last night I came upon it while channel flipping Sirius XM. Why didn't anyone tell me how nuts that song is? Love the male choir in the background.

voted Accept because Brotzmann's not on the list -- that song is great

Brötzmann could actually have made the list twice (the second saxophonist here is Japanese free jazz legend Akira Sakata):
