Song: Pablo Picasso
Artist: Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers
Album: The Modern Lovers
Also try: The Velvet Underground, Pavement, The Vaselines
Commentary: Boston proto-punk from 1972. Recorded the year before Mr. Picasso passed away; hopefully he got to hear this awesome song about how awesome he is.
Choice lyrical sample: "O, be not schmuck, be not obnoxious, be not bell-bottomed bummer or asshole" Listen to the way he exhorts the 70s here.
