The United States of America. They made only one album, back in 1968, but they produced the sexiest and most electrifying sounds I've ever heard on record:

"Where Is Yesterday?" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7gBAFCy2Dw&feature=related

"Coming Down" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jwi78dYK2o&NR=1

These are great, but "Hard Coming Love" and "Love Song for the Dead Ché" are the real killers.

Long live Dorothy Moskowitz.

I've only ever read the occasional comment regarding "The United States of America" til now, Tim. (I think they may even be listed in my Great Encyclopedia of Rock, which I'd have to dig up...)

I just gave those two videos a glance, and Coming Down actually isn't a bad tune at all.

I'd be interested in hearing "Love Song for the Dead Ché", which I assume is in reference to Ché G?

The process is reversing itself!
