    The rest don’t really bug me, but I am pissed at myself for the Big Black one. Dammit, I’ve heard that song a million times!!!

    Congrats to MikeJ!

    I’m kicking myself over both the Mudhoney and Robyn Hitchcock songs. And dóh, the beasties.

    The Femmes was obvious once I heard it, but it just went past in a blur. I should have come back and listened to the rest of them on a different day and seen what stood out then.

    Wow, I can’t believe none of us got the G&R.

    Thanks for the half-point. I was really bouncing back and forth between Steely Dan or solo Fagen; I decided on the latter because I figured he gave himself more freedom to be radio-unfriendly on his own. WRONG.

    i’ve been trying to come up with the earliest song with the word “fuck” in it. so far, that Steely Dan song and the Stones’ “Star Star” are in the lead (both released in ’73). there were probably earlier songs… but i can’t think of any.

  5. Cris

    I was going to mention a back track on Quadrophenia, but that was 1973 as well. Did something change that year?

  7. Cris

    Just after my last comment, I remembered: Janis Joplin’s posthumous concert album, “Joplin Live,” came out in 1972. That one has the version of “Ball and Chain” where she delivers the classic line “Tomorrow never happens, man. It’s all the same fucking day, man.”

    And then, I thought, I bet John Lennon said it on one of his solo albums. Sure enough: “Working Class Hero,” Plastic Ono Band, 1970.

    You could also try to argue for Jim Morrison, because he did say the word (several times, in fact) in 1967’s “The End,” but in my opinion it’s too unintelligible to count.

  8. cleek

    yeah, i thought about The End, but he mumbles it pretty thoroughly.

    good catch on Lennon, tho. nice.

    wonder if the V.U. had any…
