awww... sentimental BOS4 S&G, "My Little Town"

IIRC, this was released on solo albums by both Paul and Artie.

I guess I'm leaning towards a 4 or more way split for BOS, Zep, Dylan, Spinners & S&G.

Jaws "we're gonna need a bigger boat" --> Leon and his lady go back to the island. And I don't mean Lawn Guyland.

absolutely correct, both "Still Crazy After All These Years" and "Breakaway".  The latter is actually the better album IMHO.

I thought that's where S&G's Little Town was. :)

Oh, and hey Shray! Nice to see you again! By any chance are you in the city any day this week?

I am almost entirely available...does that mean you are around?

indeed, his '70s solo stuff is WAY underrated. He said that Breakaway was intended as an updated "make-out" album. His versions of "99 Miles From LA" and "Waters of March" are wonderful.

we remain seabound: Rod Stewart, "Sailing", which is a def rarity if not a bustout.

ETA: it appears to be the latter.  And quite lovely, so BOS5FRA. One of his tracks that was a huge UK hit and didn't do much here, iirc.

ETA2: it was a #1 UK hit in '75 and was re-released a year later and got to #3 (!). Orig recorded by the Sutherland Bros.

Emily Litella: "eagle rights amendment" --> Eagles.  Sorry, "Take it to the Limit" is our uber-LN today. But this was pretty damn swell overall.

no argument LN-wise, but at least it was a pretty good segue!

Wondering if any of these 10 songs will show up in  A-to-Z and I'm guessing none -- in pre-DC days the Dylan, Eagles, and Steely Dan tunes would surely have made the cut and maybe the Zep too.
