Some mystery: "Listen to What the man said" is pretty obviously '75. Sheesh.

It's possibly the worst punctuated song title ever. "They Just Can't Stop It" The (Games People Play).

Other than that it's not a bad song.

BOS to the Boss, She's the One. Just realized how poorly mastered this song is--I always thought it was only my overplayed copy of BTR that sounded like this.

Hmmm, the popular BOS race could be interesting, between Bruce and the GD.  BOS3 (and proxy of Geoff & Alicat) for Franklin's Tower.

"If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind..."

Point taken, but I have a special spot for this one.  I listened to the tape in my car over and over sometime back in the 80s.  It's a special record, very personal.

And I'll give a BOS for the Dead too.  It was always a great moment in concert when you realize they're playing this song, even if the words don't make any sense.

It's an underrated LP, IMHO.  It was one of the records I played on my first-ever college radio show in Oct of '75.

Didn't Holy Grail come out in '74?  I spose it's still valid...

Guess not.  They were filming it in 74; guess that's what I remember.

Biggest BOS for Steely Dan and "Don't Take Me Alive".  I love that opening chord.

Yeah me too, it's a great album all around.

By the way, Chris Hedgecock's band "The Floyd Project" concert in San Jose a few weeks ago was very excellent.  The did all the big song (plus some lesser-known ones) from Wish you were Here, The Wall, and Dark Side of the Moon.  Sounded *amazingly* like the real Pink Floyd.

'Tanks.  I've been busy workin', so not paying a lot of attention.  While others were immediately sure of the mystery year, I only knew it was mid-70s Macca, and my first guess was '76.  Then, it was just background until MP, and I knew then it was '75.

BOS to the fuzzed guitar Dan intro.  That intro always hits a nerve, pleasantly.
