I is an idiot! Until Wikipedia told me so, I had no idea that Girls Aloud's "Sexy! No No No" sampled the riff from Nazareth's "Hair Of The Dog," despite my having heard both those songs plenty of times. And even then I was having trouble finding the riff, was telling myself, "Well, I guess they must have used some riff other than the main one, or maybe they truncated it or something." But no, it's all there, I finally was able to pick it out from its surroundings (I'd been afraid I'd developed the aural equivalent of red-green color blindness, though this was Sexy Hair Dog Differentiation Deficit); maybe there's something about the Girls' vocals that rejiggers the tonal centers so they're different from Nazareth's. I don't know.

If you've never heard the "Hair Of A Dog" riff, it's sort of like "Day Tripper" performed by a rhinoceros.

So the album search continues. Today being the deadline after which I allow myself no more album acquisitions until after the Idolator/P&J deadline on Friday, this is what I'm left with:

Albums in my possession that I have not heard )
