Something tells me this guy is destined to be the American version of 93curr.

Just noticed this thread. A friend turned me on to the Long Ryders by playing me the State of our LP Union when in came out in '85. I thought then that Looking for Lewis and Clark was one of the best songs I'd ever heard. I found a vinyl copy on clearance not long after.
There was a lot of great music coming out back then and it was hard to keep just one band at the top of the faves list.
Yesterday, I found another vinyl copy in mint condition and offered it to a friend who is dipping her toes into vinyl again, I thought she's like it. She asked me what king of music they played and I couldn't really answer. The best I could come up with was "Cow Punk". She declined saying with limited space, she was confining herself to the "classics",
I've given her maybe 50 records so far, several Beatles LP's including a nice copy of White, some heavily radio played stuff that I guess could be considered "classic" and since she mentioned Motown, I brought her whatever I found in that genre.
If I'm ever invited over (unlikely) to her place, I may take State of our Union so she can hear for herself.
