Anything by Johnny Thunders (Heartbreakers, NY Dolls). Paranoid and other Sabbath albums from around that time. The early Social D stuff is a mix of humbuckers and P-90's-I've seen really old footage of Mike Ness with old SG Juniors (he had a white one and a red one I think). I think he went through alot of different guitars in the old days. Some of the other SoCal punk bands of that time had SG Juniors-Circle Jerks, TSOL and probably some others.

- Definitely Social Distortion, on Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, White Light, White Heat, White Trash and Sex, Love and Rock n' Roll. I'd very surprised if you didn't like them, Ratae.

- Chuck Berry's pre-1958 singles.

- Mountain "Missisippi Queen."

- Rolling Stones: Any recent (1980's and beyond) live performances of "Sympathy for the Devil." Keef uses a Junior on that one.

- Beatles mid-period. Paul's leads on "Ticket to Ride" and anything else he did on "Rubber Soul." George, John and Paul all had Casinos by Revolver: the twin lines on "She Said, She Said" and Paul's solo on "Taxman" come to mind. John used his P-90 equipped Casino for most of his later Beatles output (the plain one).

- Mick Jones with The Clash. I'm going out on a limb and saying it's likely stuff like "Lost in the Supermarket" and "Train in Vain."

Yeah, alot of that early Clash stuff is a Les Paul Jr, Mick Jones played one. (Joe Strummer played a Tele, but you can barely hear it on alot of that stuff.)Paul Westerberg played an Sg Junior in the early days of the Replacements, and I've seen some later pictures of him with a Les Paul Special. Bob Stinson usually played humbucker-equipped guitars I think, but much like Social D, they probably went through alot of different guitars in the old days.
