Add Date: March 16
Artist: The Hot Rats
Album: Turn Ons
Label: G&D
Genre: Garage rock, covers
Comments: Taking on the likes of Lou Reed, the Doors, the Kinks, and (early) Pink Floyd is a tall order, but The Hot Rats wear these influences pride, even as they offer their own interpretations of songs like "The Crystal Ship," "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)" (yes, the Beastie Boys song), and "Queen Bitch" (David Bowie). Twelve overdrive-drenched takes on songs that any garage rock hipster would include in his or her canon, The Hot Rats make some of these songs their own -- whether you think that's a good or a bad thing. Check out their almost unrecognizable take on the Beastie Boys (4) and Pink Floyd's "Bike" (7).
