Volume 10: Rock and Roll Trivia 10

Kicks & Chicks - The Zipps
Koei - Boris
I'm Not Down - The Clash
A-Punk - Vampire Weekend
When You Were Young - The Killers
The Official Ironmen Rally Song - Guided By Voices
I Sweat - The Causey Way
Lust For Life - Girls
Way Out - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Acetone - Mudhoney
Do I do - Stevie Wonder
Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace - Cheap Trick
The Rat - Dead Confederate
Mr. Woman - Electric Six
You Can Hide Your Lover Forever - Comet Gain

The Maestro's Pick:  Acetone by Mudhoney
Why:  Mudhoney was one of those bands in the late 80s and early 90s that rolled with the Seattle scene, and rightly so.  Although they never peaked as high as the PJs or SG or Nirvana, they kicked WAY more ass and WERE the band in Seattle.  Listen to Super Fuzz Big Muff and you'll see them as the new version of MC5, hyped up on crank, ready to party, writing music that was as blistering as it was smart.  Mudhoney, along with The Melvins, were the tent poles that bands like PJ and SG and Nirvana were trying to impress.
