Hello all,

For example:
David Bowie: Space oddity
Ram Jam: Black betty
Journey: Don't stop believing
Manfred Mann: Blinded by the light
Ozzy: Crazy train

The Guess Who - American Woman
Grateful Dead - Truckin
Anythingby Iggy Pop (Stooges)

I know the lyrics to songs I just don't know who did them or what the name of the song is.
So I've been having a hell of a time trying to get something together myself.

Help us out guys. :yes:

The Misfits formed in '77, and "Attitude" was on the album "Static Age" and written in '79. Without those guys there never would have been Ministry, White Zombie/ Rob Zombie, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Butthole Surfers... You get the point. They were a great band. Glen left the band in '82 or '83 to form Samhain which was more metal than punk, but the seeds were sown.
