I love Rush and all, but maybe The Guess Who are the best Canadian band. They sure had a bunch of hits in 1970.

The Hollies have a song called I Can't Tell The Bottom From The Top. There's a joke in there somewhere, but it's just not COMING to me.

I'd never thought of it but yeah, it's in there. Not as bad as Adele ripping off the Fray, but yeah.

I don't completely dislike the Dead, but there are times when I scratch my head.  If I was ever required to do a song parody of the Grateful Dead, I just might choose Box Of Rain and play (and sing) it verbatim. 

... and I would choose Bruce Springsteen's No Surrender to parody him.

We once bought some furniture from a guy who claimed to be a friend of Norman Greenbaum.  He said Norman's career tanked because his girlfriend at the time wouldn't let him tour when this single was hot!

Great set. Last night I was looking through my box of Morey era casette sets. Mostly all 70's sets.  A vertical tasting Soul Patrol.  Those were the days my friends. So many gems.

I second that emotion!  I also have a huge box of DM and AL sets on cassette to pop in the ol' boom box.  ;D
