RIP Neil.

Dude fought his record company to not release this as a single because he didn't want to be known as a pop master... Neon Indian would later sample it:

Could've written hit songs in his sleep and been as big as Elton John but had a punk attitude at heart, plus he produced way too many great records to have to care.

Another James song. Big fan here =) In my mind, it fits so much the sad December we had.

THESE. GUYS. ARE. BEASTS.
If this doesn't make you headbang like Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar, then what will?

You will not be disappointed! To me, their sound is a mix of Rush, Tower of Power, Afro-Cuban, and house music. All of their members (about 20 guys on a rotating basis) are phenomenally talented. Their most well-known piece is "Lingus," but they have lots of other amazing tunes like "Xavi," "Sleeper," "Shofukan," "Big Ugly," and "Grown Folks."

An MDA Telethon performance.
Check out the rest of their Muppets videos, including an original take on Bohemian Rhaspody by Johnny Fiama and Sal here.
