Black Nepalese is definitely more '72 than '74.

they were sort of "rediscovered" in the nineties, I think. Their first two records were reissued on one disc. A guy I worked with brought it in and said "you should listen to this." That was 98 or 99.
-

BOS4 the Feats.
Agreed. Someday she might play "Star", and under-represented track from Ziggy, imo.
Also, as much as I like "30 Days in the Hole", it's not the only song Humble Pie ever recorded. Lot's of great tracks on Smokin', including "Hot 'n' Nasty", "You're So Good for Me", "C'mon Everybody", and "(I'm a) Roadrunner".

They must have been barely regional. It seems as if it was a major fuckup with the record label, and they got almost no distribution. They probably had some fans live at the time. Maybe someday I'll hear something that sounds good; today's cut was meh to the max.

The Allman Brothers Band "One Way Out"
Yes, this was burning up the radio when it was released in 1972; Eat a Peach is one of the all-time best albums. But it's also kind of ironic, as it's a live track from the Fillmore East sessions in 1971. Basically an outtake from the '71 Fillmore East live album.

TV theme medley into Big Star "In The Street"
I had no idea this wasn't the theme written for That '70s Show.
I can hear the power pop influences in Big Star, but I don't know which way they go. I never
heard of them until AL started playing them on 10@10 (apparently Dave didn't). So I share some
of ggould's confusion regarding the extent of their popularity. I can't recall ever hearing them on
the radio out of NYC at the time.

Quadraphonic sound into David Bowie "Starman"
That was Chase's "Open Up Wide" from their 1971 debut album in the Quadraphonic commerical.
I also note that although the Quadraphonic system had limited success, today the 5.1 surround
sound five-speaker system is now commonly used in home theater setups.

indeed, they were criminally ignored on NY radio -- astounding, really, considering that WNEW-FM jocks like Fornatale and Elsas were power-pop geeks who creamed their jeans over the Raspberries that year.

They are probably second to the Velvet Underground as a '60's-'70's band not commercially successfully during its existence but later canonized as proto-punk geniuses by '80's and '90's college/indie rockers. As such, Big Star has more fans among people in their 30's and 40's who also like bands such as The Replacements, Pavement, and early REM than among their contemporaries -- the band members are or would be (3 of 4 original members are dead) in their early 60's.

Well, they used to play Velvet Underground a lot on the radio around here at least.
