There's this god-awful radio station in the area that carries some kind of secretly syndicated radio show of classic AOR format music but they do it in a "three play" format that almost (but not quite) makes it interesting. I only know this because before I got the satelite radio I had to listen to SOMETHING when I was driving 150 miles out of town, and that happened to be the most palatable choice.
They'll play three songs by different artists, that were somewhat related by way of the subject matter. Or even just something referenced by the song or its title. And then the old potheads would phone in with their opinion on what it's all about.
Bad station, bad music but if they were ever going to paint outside the lines, this was the show they'd do it on, ya know? The only time I ever heard War played on an AOR "classic rock" station.
Anyways, during another long drive home, I started thinking up a set of my own. Help me finish this shit, huh?
"Waiting for the Man," by the Velvet Underground.
"Here Comes Your Man," by the Plimsouls.
Now the other two songs fit the format SO WELL that I'm hesitant to offer up "Telegram Sam" by T. Rexx.
Can you think of any others I shouldn't have passed up?

It's good to know someone knows who the Bad Brains are.
HR flipped out about something, and since I new him from being around, he decided to crash at my house for three weeks (this would not have been the case if it were up to me, but the boys I was living with were all star struck and would have fellated him if he'd asked) and there was jamming and music dudes showing up at all hours....yeah..... and I eventually gave the boys a choice; get these dudes out or I was going to have to go all psycho-bitch on everybody! The result was HR leaving in five or ten minutes--I'm not sure, but it was fast--and the guys got to save face and we've all remained friends.
I'm a very sweet person, but , no one wants to see my psycho-bitch!
