Oh my fuckin' God!!! This is so amazing. Super props for including my favorite Jam song, one of my favorite Replacements songs, and the Pretenders, VU, Groovies, Cramps, Plimsouls, J & MC, MC5, and Roky. Your shoes must be really special, because this is one of the best things I've seen on this site in a long time.

Awesome, love the first four track run on Side One. But there's great stuff all over the place as well. Nicely done.

The Evaporators track is, indeed, a Neil Young cover.

I can never completely write The Pretenders off 'cause of that one tune. Some forgotten faves here from Steel Pole Bathtub, Cavedogs and Girl Trouble.
