I'm quibbling here, but I will always associate this Dan LP with 1973 -- a Dec '72 release, I guess, but it didn't enter anyone's consciousness until early '73. Playing anything from it in a '72 set is a cheat IMHO.

Graham Nash gives the officials the Immigration Face, which I suppose was a previous iteration of the Gas Face.

Exactly like playing anything from London Calling in a 1979 set (at least in the US).  It was released Dec 14th, and the Clash were still unkown here.  During the 80's it's stature grew until Rolling Stone named it the #1 LP of the decade.

Okay, this is a great set and all, but if you start Commander Cody you just have to let him finish.  It's in the Rules!
Why the Commander and not, say, Gilbert O'Sullivan?  Is there a coolness threshold to identify?   :?  :lol:

Abso-freakin-lutely!
I had almost forgotten how great Commander Cody was until KPIG.

OMG BOS6 America, "I Need You", one that doesn't get nearly the airplay that some of their other hits do.

"I Need You" is "Beatlesque"?  Bee Gees would be closer to the mark.

What a great day to not be at work!  YAY for Todd's "I Saw the Light"!!!  Those three opening notes have a Pavlovian effect on me.  (What do you call notes that come in before the first proper measure?)


A pick-up. Seriously. (And if that's not a great straight line, I don't know what is.)

(There may be a more technical term for it, but in conversational musician-speak, that's what I know it as. Dave, do you concur?)
