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?
