The Beach Boys - "Good Vibrations"



The Beatles - "A Hard Day's Night"



Big Star - "September Gurls" (Yes my blog title is a reference to this song)



Cheap Trick - "Surrender"



Green Day - "Holiday"



The Raspberries - "Tonight"



Squeeze - "Tempted"

Lindsey Buckingham

I think Lindsey might be my favorite guitarist. And a great singer/songwriter to boot as well. Here some classic Lindsey with Fleetwood Mac and solo!


"Go Your Own Way" - Fleetwood Mac



"The Chain" - Fleetwood Mac



"Big Love" (a BLISTERING solo acoustic performance!!!!)


"Bleed To Love Her" - Fleetwood Mac


"Holiday Road" (bet you didn't know this song from NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION was a Lindsey track did you?)


"Go Insane" (an acoustic version of his 1984 solo hit)


"Trouble" (look for the cameo by Mick Fleetwood)



"Countdown" (a 1992 performance on Letterman)



"Shut Us Down"



"Never Going Back Again" (2006 live performance of the classic off of the Mac's RUMOURS album)


"Tusk" - Fleetwood Mac (Yes, that is the USC Trojans marching band joining in the lunacy)



Enjoy the music and I'll see you next time!
