Circle jerk

The idea was to make a mix of songs with other performers' names in the titles, but I'm not sure I achieved it. So it's a little sketchy, but it's awesome nonetheless.

I'm not entire sure Ozzy, Beach Boys and Isolation Years are really named after Ozzy Osbourne, The Beach Boys and Isolation Years, but I'm pretty sure they are.

Also, R.A.M.O.N.E.S. was a song written by Motörhead as a tribute to The Ramones, which is here covered by The Ramones so it's not technically about another artist. With The Ramones playing it it's more about themselves, isn't it? But whatever, it's a good song so that's that.

On the same note there is Motörhead (here in Primal Scream's version) which was written by Lemmy Kilmister while he was still in Hawkwind, and his next band would be named after the song. So it's not really about Motörhead, the band was just named after it.

But whatever.
