A mellow start with Rod's fine cover of "First Cut is the Deepest". VHM at the very least.

"I'm Chevy Chase, and I don't like you."

I've heard that this is kind of his M.O. in real life, actually.

Not to give WOS to Seger, but I just don't feel songs about how much rock, well, rocks.

For years, yes. A recent profile in EW indicated he's mellowed, but that may just be PR.  

Didn't have a clue what that second song was; guess the first cut wasn't the deepest after all.

"Get Closer" is far from Seals & Crofts' best work, but at least it's not the song about the unborn child (which I've yet to hear, but can't imagine I'd get behind).  Backing vocals from -- if memory serves -- one of the members of the Honey Cone.  Mike, can you confirm?

ok. even i can't stand this song. and i like seals and crofts. this sounds like what would happen if the kris kristofferson of "convoy" decided to settle down in a quiet mountain cabin with the meryl streep of "deer hunter," and he let her decorate the walls with faux animal-skin coverings.

I'd never heard that -- the woman's name was thrown around at the time but I've long forgotten.  I alwyas think of her as S&C's version of Odia Coates, speaking of unborn (and borne) childs.

Ever hear their great lost non-hit "King of Nothing"? That shoulda been huge.

I'm leaning towards Rod right now. Aside from that still-unidentified 2nd song, this has been quite pedestrian.  Oh wait -- Thin Lizzy, "Jailbreak"!

You just have a thing for semen, er, SEA-men. But indeed, it is rare for epic narrative poems set to music to make the top 40.

CITC an epic narrative poem? Uh... NO. I mean, yeah, it tells a story (as do a lot of songs), but nowhere near on the scale of the Lightfoot.  Not to mention the diff between true, large-scale tragedy and middlebrow sentimentality. :wink:

Was the second song Jeff Beck?  Always have trouble with the names on Wired, but you guys haven't mentioned it yet, so I'm guessing...

I was real busy during the set, but was listening with spare bits of brain ...  Just now catching up on posts.

It was indeed, I'm blanking on the title. Bob said it was the only song on Wired NOT produced by George Martin; it was helmed by Jan Hammer.

"he hated peanut butter and it made him more mad than he could explain,"

:) not much else to do in coeur d'elene,  i guess. "hey, victor!" that's a "smoke signals" reference for those who have seen the film.

The song that put Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin on the map.
