Post by: RGMike on December 01, 2011, 08:11:00 PM
I've a feeling "More More More" will make an appearance.  Giter (who's usually pretty savvy) wants that godawful Flash Cadillac song we always diss when it shows up on Casey Kasem.

Two pre-1980 sets in a week? Been awhile? Of course, it probably happened three weeks ago.

It probably has happened within the last month, I'm just too lazy to research.  Given that AL was gone for 2 '90s-oriented "classics" weeks, they owed us.

The Eagles give Steve Miller a run for least necessary.

I actually haven't burned out on "More Than A Feeling" (I can't remember the last time I heard it on the radio), and it still sounds good, so it's out of the running for least necessary in my book.

I completely agree with everything expressed above. But that said, I am heartened to see that the three songs that tied for BOS are the biggest rarities of the set and the ones that are most deserving, imo (JB, Johnny, and Blondie). So either there are a few more fogheads than we think who are of similar opinions to ours (or mine anyway), or AL is stuffing the ballot box. :)

Was very pleased to see Memory Motel make it into the set. Black and Blue is probably the most maligned of the mid-70s Stones records, but I think it's got some really great material on it--particularly three of the songs that were mentioned earlier (Hand of Fate, Hot Stuff, and MM).  Fool to Cry is OK, but it's almost a carbon copy of Memory Motel--the melodies and the production on both are really close imo. Cherry Oh Baby and Hey Negrita are pretty fine too--all in all, a pretty solid album. Full disclosure: I didn't come to this opinion until after it had been out for a number of years--in '76 I thought it was pretty lame, as did a lot of folks.
