everybody wants something

...but what do people really want?

Billy Idol wants some honesty:

Generation X - Gimmie Some Truth (from a 1978 b-side, collected on the 2002 reissue of the 1979 Valley of the Dolls LP)

Mr. Pop desires a little excitement in his life:

Iggy & The Stooges - Gimme Danger (from Raw Power, 1973)

Steve Winwood longs for some tender affection:

The Spencer Davis Group - Gimme Some Lovin' (from The Best of The Spencer Davis Group, 1989)

Andrew Eldritch needs a place to crash:

The Sisters of Mercy - Gimme Shelter (from Some Girls Wander by Mistake, 1992)

...and Henry Rollins has urgent, yet nonspecific needs:

Black Flag - Gimme Gimme Gimme (from Damaged, 1981)

Hey, fellas, didn't your moms teach you about the magic word?

Generation X covering John Lennon is surprisingly not terrible. Not terrible at all. Well, hell, you brightened my day.

you could've put up that new Britney Spears song... but I'm guessing it would've hurt everybody's ears. And it wasn't out when you posted.
