Musical Train Wrecks

This is the section of the site where we examine all those wonderful "musical" (???!!!) endeavors that somehow never really made it into the top billion songs ever recorded...

Please understand that I will be shamelessly soliciting your suggestions and .mp3 format submissions. Please allow me time to recover what wits I have left after enduring these, uh, “songs” before I post them to the web page.

Submission policy is as follows:

1)Please make sure these are COMMERCIAL releases.

No one wants to hear Cousin Fred’s horrible garage band doing a cover of Gene Autry’s Greatest Hits. (No one has ever come close to how well my old band did it anyway, so please don’t insult my rather somewhat limited intelligence…)

2) ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NO DAMNED RAP MUSIC!!!!

3) They have to really suck so bad it causes fascination like, well, watching a train wreck...

First and foremost in my wonderful collection of Pop Classics is our old pal William Shatner.

Here we find the musical stylings of Mr. Shatner as he abuses our eardrums with a cover of

The Byrd’s Mr. Tambourine Man

Even worse is his cover of The Beatle’s Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Next we have a band that actually made several hits that actually get radio air play. Quicksilver Messenger Service had a hit with Fresh Air, but if you listen to it as a musical composition it really has no redeeming value other that to notice how NOT to have drum and guitar solos... Sounds kinda like Paul Anka on acid…

There is a reason I don't much care for modern Country and Western Music... Probably because it's long on Country and Western and damned short on music!! Here we find a damned fine example: Dolly Parton sings(??) Led Zeppelin. WARNING: You just might want to hide the women and children and chain up the dawg, this is goona get UGLY!!!
