listen to it for at least 20 min
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

this one always feels like the band is on edge, and about 1 measure away from just completely falling apart into improvising 3 different songs.  I like this much better than Traffic's original or Joe Cocker's remake, or any of the other dozen or so versions out there.

can't find a video online for this one...

QuoteLord made the world in seven days,
it has been said.
Takes you a week to get out of bed.
If Jesus Christ was crucified at thirtythree
are you thinking what I'm thinking is gonna happen to me?

Sex, drugs and rock 'n roll are dead.
Someone shot the weekend in the head.
Out of the closet and into the fire,
all hail a new messiah.
Sex, drugs and rock 'n roll are dead

Peter Pan is finally grown up, twenty years to late.
He's been suckerpunched by the fist of fate.
Nothing to fall back on, no failure ensurance.
I live in grey and out of groovie, waiting for something to move me.

Sex, drugs and rock 'n roll are dead.
Someone shot the weekend in the head.
I'm your king of kings, I'm your lord of lords.
Loved or hated but never ignored.
Sex, drugs and rock 'n roll are...

We were riding on a street-car named disaster.
We swore we'd go down swinging.
We're swinging from the rafters.

We were riding on a street-car named disaster.
We were hanging out.
Hanging from the rafters.

Sex and drugs and rock 'n roll are dead.
Sex and drugs and rock 'n roll are dead.

I used to live for rock 'n roll,
but now I live for Jesus.
I spread the God's word instead
of social diseases.
I say rock 'n roll is the devil's tune
and kids today they scare me.
The boys have hell like Jesus but the
girls don't act like Mary.

Mary...

Just like nineteen-seventy-seven.
Just like nineteen-seventy-seven.
Well he's not coming, save yourselves.
Seven...

The Loveless had 1 self-produced album that's a great f'n' album.

They started out as Candy out in LA in the mid-80s, with Gilby Clarke on guitar (yes, that Gilby Clarke and after Kyle Vincent left the band, Gilby took over vocals.  He left to go play w/ Kill For Thrills, and the rest of them moved to New York and grabbed Ryan Roxie and Shane and became the Electric Angels.  One legit and one bootleg album later - both awesome early-90s glam with incredible songwriting - Ryan left to go play with some other folks.  The remaining 3 'borrowed' the guitarist from Jet Set Six and recorded A Tale of Gin and Salvation and there's about 8 great songs on it.

They'll never blow you away musically, but the songwriting is solid and clever and has some great phrasing.  They play with some great conviction and put everything they had into their music.
The best stuff to track down:

Candy's debut album
- American Kix
- Turn it up Loud
- Last Picture Show
- Whatever Happened to Fun

Candy's Teenage Neon Jungle
- Weekend Boy
- First Time
- Kids in the City
- Electric Nights

Electric Angels' debut album
- I Believe
- Dangerous Drug
- Last Girl on Earth
- Home Sweet Homicide
- Whiplash <--- one of my top 10 or so all-time favorite tunes
- The Drinking Song

Electric Angels' New York Times (bootleg only, completely recorded but never released)
- Colour of Hate
- Def Generation  <--- fantastic lyrics
- New York City Girl
- Hung Up On A Pinup Girl
- Cheap Lipstick

The Loveless' Tale of Gin and Salvation
- If I Only Knew Then
- The Return of the Ex-Girlfriend
- Lies My Father Told Me   <--- more fantastic lyrics
- Postcards From My Heart
- Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll Are Dead <--- see above


You track down those 5 albums, and you can see the evolution of a bunch of kids from teenage power pop through glam hard rock to a solid concept album that shows a lot of maturity as songwriters and a great groove throughout.

Just started exploring this group, but I really like this song:  Wintercoast from Touchstone.  Stick with it, it changes it character a few times:

"As I understand from your communication, Mr. Engle, you're on the brink of self-destruction. May I shake your hand? A brilliant idea! I speak as one who has destroyed himself a score of times.  I am, Mr. Engle, a veteran corpse. We are all corpses here! This rendezvous is one of the musical graveyards of the town. Caters to zombies hopping around with dead hearts and price tags for souls." - Angels Over Broadway

put three of the best shredders together and you melodic hard rock.  Go figure

plenty of 90mph riffs, with a chorus you can hum along with...  and who knew Ritchie Kotzen could sing?!
