Dare to compare...

Posted almost 6 years ago
Item 1: Gimme Some Money, by The ThamesmenItem 2: Got My Eye on You, by Brian Jonestown MassacreThis isn't the only song to employ those awesome bratty/whiny vocal stylings, but for some reason this one has the strongest Spinal Tap resonance for me.

    petenema says Well, as we all know, The Thamesmen, and later Spinal Tap, were very influencial in the rock genre for many years. Even today, influences from The Thamesmen's 1965 classic "Gimme Some Money" reverberate throughout many songs.The question remains: Would the music still be as influencial if John 'Stumpy' Pepys hadn't died in that bizarre gardening accident? Brian Jonestown Massacre is but one band whose influences are rooted deep in the bowels of mockumentary rock.
