Comment:

A quintuple-elimination today! (#172 - 5/20/09):
Montrose - "Paper Money" (1974)
Aerosmith - "Aerosmith" (1973)
Alice In Chains - "Alice In Chains" (1995)
Chris Cornell - "Euphoria Morning" (1999)
Bob Dylan - "Bringing It All Back Home" (1965)

"Take This Bottle" < "Mistress Of The Salmon Salt (Quicklime Girl)" < "The Tourist" - For no less than the eighth straight mix in a row(!!), once again I give you...Faith No More...Blue Oyster Cult...Radiohead! Please, by all means feel free to let me know when this little triple-act gimmick starts to get old and stale... (Ha, ha, ha!) (By the way, Faith No More's "Take This Bottle" is an honest-to-goodness country ballad which might have stood a half-decent chance at a crossover hit. (Although even played straight, it's still probably too much of a pastiche for that!)

"10,000 Things" < "Green River" - I always knew that one of these days, I was going to put a song by the BAND Green River back-to-back with the SONG "Green River"!

"Somebody" < "Use Somebody" - Both pretty much about the same thing...

"Connection" / "All Sold Out" - Montrose (with Sammy Hagar on lead vocals) does a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Connection," originally from 1967's "Between The Buttons." The song is very much transformed from an up-tempo pop number to a sad and lonely acoustic ballad. And speaking of "Between The Buttons"...

"To Tame A Land" - Iron Maiden's epic tribute to Frank Herbert's "Dune"!

"It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" - Although I had previously included cover versions of this song from both Steve Howe (with Annie Haslam) and Van Morrison & Them, until now I've never used Dylan's original. And this pretty much marks my elimination of Dylan's "Bringing It All Back Home." (Although yeah, I DID substitute the live Newport '65 version of "Maggie's Farm" for the studio original on a previous disc!)

This looks like one of your best, Darth. That Montrose Stones cover is something I'll have to check out.
