During Bauhaus's 2005 Coachella reunion set, Peter Murphy performed the entire opening song, "Bela Lugosi's Dead," while suspended completely upside down by his feet to resemble a hibernating vampire bat.

Formed in 1989, Dread Zeppelin was an American rock band that famously performed Led Zeppelin songs reimagined in a reggae style, fronted by a Las Vegas-era Elvis Presley impersonator named Tortelvis.

Initially dismissed as a commercial disappointment that met with “crickets” upon its 1989 release, Paul’s Boutique is now celebrated as a landmark of sampledelia that was decades ahead of its time. Drop the needle on “Shake Your Rump”

Before they became Eurythmics, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were in The Tourists. This is their 1979 take on Dusty Springfield’s “I Only Want To Be With You.” Check out how sharp Dave Stewart looks here.

Tracey Ullman's 1983 cover of Kirsty MacColl's "They Don't Know" features a music video cameo by Paul McCartney and backing vocals by MacColl, who performed the high-pitched "baby" note that Ullman could not reach.

A perfect time capsule of 1992 L.A. chaos: Beastie Boys + Cypress Hill going nuclear. Universal Amphitheatre, two legends on stage, one crowd completely losing their minds when “So What’cha Want” drops.

DJ Lady Style - Eminem Without Me (Scratch Edit)

M|A|R|R|S’ 1987 single “Pump Up the Volume” is a landmark in house music, a collaboration by Colourbox and A.R. Kane. Assembled from a massive array of samples.

Beasties Against the Machine - Check the Testimony (Dey-One Mix)

"Our Lips Are Sealed" Co-written by Jane Wiedlin &amp; Terry Hall, inspired by a secret romance between the two while the Go-Go's and The Specials were on tour. The song features two versions, the Go-Go's &amp; by Hall's band, Fun Boy Three.

Manic Hispanic's killer take on Rancid *Time Bomb.* Manic Hispanic *Paisa*

DJ Destruction - 5 Mins of Old School Breaks

The Specials “You’re Wondering Now” Live at Colchester Institute, December 1979 (from the TV show Rock Goes to College) Classic 2-Tone ska, pure late-’70s magic.

LCD Soundsystem “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” (Bauhaus cover) Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles (Halloween)

The Specials disbanded in their dressing room at Top of the Pops immediately following their July 81 performance of "Ghost Town." Featured a 11-piece lineup and marked the final performance before frontmen Terry Hall, Neville Staple, and Lynval Golding left to form Fun Boy Three.

The Beastie Boys' "White Shadow" is a hardcore track performed during their first television appearance on the Scott &amp; Gary Show, early 80's. Rare footage captures the original four-member lineup. Bonus points if you can name the drummer and their band that came after.

Bomb The Bass' "Beat Dis" Produced for just £500, the 1988 hit utilized 72 samples including snippets from Public Enemy, James Brown, and the Thunderbirds theme. Popularized the Watchmen-inspired smiley face as an icon for acid house culture.

The Sex Pistols performed *Pretty Vacant* on the Late Show with David Letterman in 1996 during their Filthy Lucre reunion tour, featuring the band's original lineup of Johnny Rotten, Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock.

The Pharcyde's *Drop* Famous for its Spike Jonze-directed video which was filmed entirely in reverse to create a gravity-defying effect. To achieve seamless lip-syncing, the group spent weeks working with pro linguists to memorize &amp; perform their lyrics phonetically backwards.

Dick Dale (1937–2019), the Grandmaster of Surf Rock, tearing through *Nitro* on Conan O’Brien, October 1993. Absolute icon. 🎸
