Rock |
Okay, you know what? Ween should just leave Wings well enough alone and go find some other sacred rock ‘n’ roll ground to desecrate. This thoroughly misguided attempt to remain true to the original goes sadly awry in light of Ween’s unfathomably infinite inferiority to McCartney & Co. Bleeeeeech.

These Eyes |

Rock |
A classic rock chestnut that helped usher in the era of arena rock ballads - now available for digital consumption in all its kitschy, guilty-pleasured glory. Light a candle – or lighter -- and set the mood for melancholy nostalgia.

No More Mr. Nice Guy |

Rock |
The time span between the quintessentially defiant chords that open this song and the bratty drum fill that closes it can only be classified as absolute audio ecstasy. This remastered slice of 1973 is pure heaven, whether you're dazed, confused, or just plain ready to rock.

You Really Got Me |

Rock |
Live BBC recording of this quintessential love song (circa 1965) is played to perfection at the front lines of the British Invasion. Lo-fi garage-rock bliss makes the soul pine for a long-lost era when rock ‘n’ roll actually existed in real time.

Get What You Got Comin' |

Rock |
Trashy Southern rock from the Van Zant Brothers is a throwback to Skynyrd's heyday. Grab the whiskey and raise the flag (the Confederate one, that is). It's time to kick some Yankee ass!

Got You On My Mind |

Blues, Rock |
Clapton & Co. have cooked up a swampy blues rocker that is positively buoyant, despite its downtrodden subject matter. Sure it’s the same old story, just a different day. But heartbreak never sounded this fun before…doo-waaaaah.

Blues, Rock |
Wake up! Uber talents Eric Clapton, Stevie Winwood, and Ginger Baker go deep on this grooving blues rocker circa 1969.

This goofy party song does have a few merits -- after all, every live set needs a number where the smokers can duck outside for a minute and be confident they're not missing one of the classics.

Led Zep's lead singer offers up a hushed and reverent version of the Skip Spence lullaby.

An unexpectedly snappy Queens rocker that recalls the glory days of Ted Nugent. Take your pants off and sing along!
