So here's one that no one else will likely know but it's fun and a bit of a paradox.
Late 80's band that visually look like they're more hair metal scene than anything else. This song starts out with an intro that's quite psych tinged, especially for 1987. Then the song kicks in and we're kinda power pop and kinda alt-country. Then the jangly REM via The Byrds guitar lines are added. Plus, we have guitar breaks that are straight Nashville with just the occasional sprinkle of Bakersfield.
This one was in heavy rotation way back when...and it still holds up. Can't say that about the majority of things from 1987. Including me.
Have to click the YouTube link for the video, but it's worth it - all other versions had pretty poor audio.
The Royal Court Of China - S/T

Track 4 on this album by this Twin Cities sextext (now down to a quartet with a name change) is called On Our Way. Some may say "en route"

Thanks, I love this kind of stuff and am so glad you guys are playing along.
I was going to do a Boggle theme too; shake it and have people find a word and play a record for it, but I could NOT find it in my house. I looked for longer than I care to admit.
If only the month was longer....

Day 22 - Trouble
Big Bill Broonzy – Big Bill's Blues
"Trouble And Lying Woman"
I actually taught the 4-year-old how to play Trouble just a few weeks ago, and was sure my wife had sent me photos but it would appear they are only on her phone, which do this post no good!
