Give the drummer some! The next interactive poll!

2) Suzanne Vega: Wooden Horse

I love the Eighties!

It can be very drums-oriented though, as this suggestion by Christoph Haberer (Circle Move) shows.

Christoph Haberer is at it since 1980 by the way, and I saw an absolutely great gig of his then project Drümmele Maa in the late eighties. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything of them, neither live nor studio, anywhere on the internet. But Christoph is still great these days, particularly for me as a lover of both drumming and electronic music.

MY SELECTION, SECOND AND LAST PART.

3) Bruce Springsteen: when I propose one of his songs I try to choose them among those that highlight a particularity of his music often unknown to those who are not his fans, because Springsteen has many facets, a complex personality. For example, many of you do not know that Springsteen is one of the most profiled artists ever existed but until the 2000s he selected his publications so much that many of his best songs remained unpublished, often only present in the bootlegs of his concerts (some of these unpublished songs were gifts for other artists: the career of Patti Smith owes a lot to a certain Because the Night). One of these songs is Roulette, which had to be put on The River album, which was always unpublished and only put on the collection discs of the tracks never released. It is one of the most explosive Springsteen's rock and roll, both in the studio and in concert, with great work by Max Weinberg on the Drums. It talks about fear of nuclear power (in that year, 1979, Bruce had participated in Jackson Browne's No Nukes)

4) Surgery: AK. 

Wild rock and roll group, Surgery published two great albums, only to disband after the third (like Noiseworks). Their music is partly punk and partly original rock and roll, with a really coarse singer. Nothing calculated here, just wild energy.

3) Bruce Springsteen: ROULETTE

4) Surgery: A.K.

Nice theme! Not much time now to look for things and listen, but more will follow this weekend, I think.

When I think of drummers and drumming I immediately think of this band. In a kind of extension of the previous poll I want to suggest a live track by this band whose name will be censored by the PA censor machine (which doesn't understand Dutch). The name just means "Butchery Van Kampen", a kind of a brand name for this band consisting of (most of the times) four drummers (sometimes more). I saw them live some 20 years ago and it was quite impressive, and I think it is more interesting to see them play then to just hear them. Not many good live tracks to be found on youtube, but here is a nice one:
