6 Oct 2015: an "encore" from... 1977

with '99 yesterday, I'm assuming it's one of those '90s/'80s/'70s/'90s/'80s weeks.

Just a little doo-wop from ELO.

Wow. This set effing rocks.

indeed, a real keeper -- as I just posted in 'snipeland, it's practically a 10-way-tie for me, except for the ABBA.  Was April 2011 pre-DC or early in his reign?

I was trying to recall. I think maybe he'd arrived in SF, but hadn't yet started imposing his will on AL in any big way.

I give this set seven solid BOS candidates, and have no qualms giving HM to the other three (ELO, ABBA, and 10CC). They don't come any better.

Let's get right to it.
