Texas Five Star Garage

Rich Strauss · Jan 8, 2014

Well, I'm late to this party & I'm too lazy to search youtube. All I did was search my database with the condition state=TX & rating >=9. Here's my list. Many have not been mentioned yet. The ratings are mine, not TBM. Don't Blame Me only gets a 6 in TBM. Huh? The description says it all "intense thumpin' punk screamer w org" Any song with that description deserves at least a 7. I give it a 9.

Code:

  The Bourbons             Of Old Aproximately
  The Circus               Bad Seed
  The Five Americans       Don't Blame Me
  The Heard                Exit 9
  Kenny & Kasuals          Journey To Tyme
  Larry & Bluenotes        In And Out
  The Liberty Bell         That's How It Will Be
  The Moving Sidewalks     Every Night A New Surprise
  Nobody's Children        Good Times
  Oedipus & Mothers        How It Used To Be
  The Outcasts             I'm In Pittsburg (And It's Raining)
  The Outcasts             1523 Blair
  The Reasons Why          Don't Be That Way
  The Runaways             18th Floor Girl
  The Society              High And Mighty
  The Sparkles             No Friend Of Mine
  The 13th Floor Elevators  You're Gonna Miss Me
  The Wig                  Crackin' Up

Don't Blame Me TBM tally = 6.461 9-2; 8-2;7-3; 6-3; 4-2; 3-1
Don't blame me for the overall consensus. As I look at the ballot, Rich and I were the only cabinet members who voted the song as a 9!

The TBM consensus rating is highly trustworthy. I rely on it to help me buy and bid on unknowns. No other rating or opinion would give me the same confidence.

It's obvious that any criticism of a particular rating is not a criticism of you or of TBM, Mike! :sunny:

From time to time it's fun to voice a different opinion from the general consensus. People like to think they sometimes look deep into a certain favourite song, deeper than "normal".
