If we get "Buffalo" this time, next time "Kisses On The Wind"!

Post by: RGMike on July 11, 2010, 08:35:40 PM: Heads up: per AL's Facebook thread, it looks like we may get "Stars on 45" (an uber-HFH by any measure) as our 1981 entry. Indeed, I was perusing the Top Tens for early July in each year and it was generally rather grim.

According to AMG, there's no MM on the album though Robert Palmer plays some guitar, and...

"Robbie Dupree's self-titled debut from 1980 features the hit "Steal Away." Dupree was heavily influenced by Michael McDonald-era Doobie Brothers. "

even though Mike wrote "Doobs," I saw MM and was thinking Marilyn Manson? Marilyn Monroe? wha..?

to me, the nickname for Michael McDonald will always be "Yammo Be There," thanks to The 40 Year Old Virgin.

Post by: RGMike on July 12, 2010, 10:30:41 AM: seems like "Raspberry Beret" is something of an AL-frequent flyer, so I can't get too excited about it, fine as it is.
