"We Were Born To Be Loved" - King's X
"Shakin' The Blues" - Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies
"Parasite" - KISS
"Shyboy" - DLR


Not sure if these qualify by your definition, but they seem awfully tight to me...

The slide break in "In my time of dying" by Led Zeppelin.

I`m sure I`ll think of more.

What a good idea!

Dude. In the name of all Tightness, find a copy of King's X' "Faith Hope Love," and dig WWBTBL. It may be the tightest of the tight! No kidding, man, it is a tour de force.
As for the Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies...well, suffice to say they are one of those underappreciated rock bands in the vein of the Black Crowes, but SCW rock a little harder. They're from Tennessee or Kentucky, mountain-bred; 'shroomy and wise, ass-stompin' rock. Their live shows are almost legendary. And you may have actually heard them. They had a semi-hit with the song I mentioned, and another with "Boogie King."

"Boogie woogie king from the mountain-top, is what I am."

Ring any bells?

Thanks...Nope, I don't think I have heard of this band...gotta check out if my schoolmate, who's from Chicago has any of their cd's...might be that the danish music shops don't have it...

BITEYOASS, we have "Gay bar" in our setlist and it tears down the roof every time...

Golden AWe, whatever you do, find a Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies CD at your earliest convenience. They have 3: eponymous debut, Big Wheel, and Magnolia.
Guaranteed to smoke you like a cheap joint. If you buy any of them, and don't like them, let me know. I will buy them back from you. The LooseMenace personal money-back-guarantee.
I don't make these kinds of offers lightly. I turned someone here onto Queens of the Stone Age a while back with the same assertion.
Do it! I'll even help you:

Thanks...I visited their site...there was one song, "25 miles" that I could listen to and I dig it!!! Sounded really tight, honest, down-to-earth southern rock with good guitars and a good singer...he sounded like a mix between Chris Robinson and Mark Lanegan...

I have to find one of the cd's soon...btw, have you guys ever heard of Supersuckers?
