Ryan Goodman, “Song Roulette”
1. “Shattered” by The Rolling Stones, from Some Girls
The last track on my favorite Stones record. No band closes albums better than the Stones. No band opens albums better than the Stones. Ah hell, there’s just no-one better than the Stones.
2. “Dance Song ’97″ by Sleater-Kinney, from Dig Me Out
One of my favorite bands/singers/drummers (I could listen to Corin scream, Carrie wail, and Janet kick out jams all damned day long). S-K even snuck some organ into this song. Cheeky Riot Grrrls!
3. “The Great Escape” by Morrow, from Morrow
Band from Bloomington, IN. One of my favorite records of recent years. Truly great. Jarod & co. absolutely made a masterpiece.

4. “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting” by Elton John, from Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road
The thought of Elton in a fistfight with some toughs in a dancehall makes me giggle.
5. “Do You Wanna Hit It?” by The Donnas, from The Donnas Turn 21
I “heart” The Donnas. Where were these girls when I was in high school? Oh yeah, in High School, but in California. Donna R (Allison Robertson) is one of my favorite guitar players (not “girl guitar players,” but period); and Torry (Donna C) plays the drums like they stole from her. What’s not to love about this band? Nothing, that’s what.
