I'll start with two of my favorite Rolling Stones songs. You probably won't hear them on the radio, because they're too busy blasting Start Me Up or Brown Sugar for the 50th time this week.

Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Janes Addiction:
My Cat’s Name is Maceo or simply is a Jane’s Addiction song that was originally supposed to appear on the album Nothing’s Shocking. Originally titled just Maceo or Macio, it was felt the song sounded too “pop-ish” and did not fit the mood on the rest of the album.
Perry’s cat Maceo was named after Maceo Parker, a jazz horn player who used to play with James Brown. In 1997, Maceo Parker would lend his musical skills to update the demo version of this song found on the Kettle Whistle album.

Decent tune! Had not heard that one, though been on quite a Steely Dan kick lately. Have had this one stuck in my head, seems like forever-
Great song. Great album too. Castles Made of Sand and Bold as Love are 2 others off that album that I love...probably a fan of Jimi's blues stuff the most though...but then I am a huge blues fan.
*Would insert youtube videos of Red House and Once I Had a Woman, if youtube had them.

I celebrate his entire catalog. I own all three studio albums on vinyl and a bunch of post death compilations. If you're a Jimi blues man then I already know you've heard or own Radio One. If you haven't then you have some homework. It's as good as any of his three studio albums, IMHO.
Crazy how sometimes such great music is just never put out. Two of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs, both of which would probably be popular on the radio, were not released until years after Bonham died and they broke up.
Personal Favorite
If you count “Wave on Wave” as hugely famous, then I have to submit this entire album.
IMO Pat had far superior music on his earlier albums, but the sound wasn’t quite Nashville enough to make it big.
