I'm rather excited today to be able to bring you the top 10 favourite songs of all time by Jay Gauvin. Following the demise of Massachusetts band The GrandPrixx ( http://thegrandprixx.bandcamp.com/album/prixxology ) , Jay formed The Prozacs in 2001. They've pretty much split up now, leaving Jay concentrating on his solo work (he featured on this blog back in February : http://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/j-prozac-boy-and-his-bike.html ) but they left a back catalogue of top notch pop punk that earned them legendary status in the eyes of many genre fans. Hopefully they'll rise from the ashes one day but you can check out their stuff here : http://theprozacs.bandcamp.com/ . Jay's most recent solo album was called Here Is My Heart and you can check it out here : http://jprozac.bandcamp.com/ .
As for his top 10, he says "10 songs, even 10 albums, it's nearly impossible to pick 10 favourites" but he gives it a go....
1) Face To Face - Disconnected
2) Screeching Weasel - Totally
3) Dire Straits - Walk Of Life
4) The Ramones - The KKK Took My Baby Away
5) Mr T Experience - Ba Ba Ba
6) The Queers - Fuck The World
7) The Mopes - I Don't Know How To Say Goodbye
8) Descendents - I'm The One
9) The Riverdales - Hampton Beach
10) Less Than Jake - Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts
Today's song of the day is Jay's number 1, it's by California punk veterans Face To Face.......
you don't know a thing about me
is there something you should know?
I can tell you what you want to hear
let your inhibitions just go
no, you don't know what you will give up
you don't know what you want
it may take you years to find out
you don't know what you need
it's something that may never come to you
trust is something that comes easy
when you've never been a victim
lies and promises and words are said
it's you're decision to accept them
no, you don't know what you will give up
you don't know what you want
it may take you years to find out
you don't know what you need
it's something that may never come to you
