I never hear LRB except from Bob here, and it always takes me back to my junior year of HS.

He made her feel Sooo Saaaad.....

VHM for VH, imho Michael Anthony never got any credit for being possibly the best harmony vocalist in hard rock history.

another VHM to the Stones, one of my favorite Motown Covers (maybe Dave'll play the original on Motown Monday today).
 
VHM4 EWF.  I'm just in a VHM kinda mood, I guess.

I didn't know EWF were Chicagoans.  Interesting.
Title: 1978 charts
Post by: ggould on June 06, 2005, 08:20:37 AM
I don't know the definitive charts, but for fun I call up the iTunes hot 100 for that year, and see Serpentine Fire, but they don't list September.  Two ABBA's and at least a couple of Bee Gees

You're right, but Bob has been consistent about using the earliest chart dates possible & according to my Whitburn, "September" entered the charts 12/16/78, obviously not peaking until well into 1979.
Title: Al Stewart Time Passages
Post by: ggould on June 06, 2005, 08:27:10 AM
kinda sappy, but I always liked the guitar/sax morph job, kind of like Tower of Power's "Sparkling in the Sand."
Title: Dire Straits, Down to the Waterline
Post by: ggould on June 06, 2005, 08:32:58 AM
jeez, this a great track!

Whenever I hear anything from this album in a '78 set I just remember how completely unique Dire Straits sounded to me when they first came out.  I just loved this album & nothing else sounded like it.  Still doesn't.

Like others before & after him, Mr Stewart did his most interesting work on a smallish label (Janus), had a left-field hit on said label ("Year of the Cat"), got tons o' cash thrown at him by Clive Davis, and made a slick, splashy big-label debut... after which it was all downhill.  The LP with "Roads to Russia" and "Nostradamus" is worth seeking out.


BOS the 'oo -- 'oo the f***'re you?
Title: R.I.P. Keith Moon
Post by: mshray on June 06, 2005, 08:39:33 AM
Another vhm for the 'Oo.

If you've ever seen the in-studio footage of them performing this song that was filmed specially for The Kids Are Alright, keep in mind that Moon died just a day or two later.

Better yet, get his live album, the live versions of both of those songs are even better, and there is an extremely funny story that he tells, kind of a tall tale, about Clarence Frogman Henry.

apparently Pete & Roger are working on the "definitive" Who documertary as we speak.

I didn't know that footage was that close to his death. Explains a bit, though, as I thought his playing was pretty wooden and not terribly inspired.

I've got a few Who records in my iTunes playlist here at work (Quadrophenia, Live at Leeds (the expanded version), and Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy) and am enjoying those quite a bit the last couple of weeks. Quadrophenia in particular--Moon is monster on that record.

I certainly love Tommy, but I've always maintained Quadrophenia was a better record.  It just seems like the whole 'concept album' thing was not in favor at that point.  Jethro Tull's Passion Play also missed the boat, even though it was really good stuff.  I hope to acquire Quadrophenia some day.
