And Dave sez we're playing spot the Vinyls, so that could be a good sign.

Could be.
Let's get right to it.

And it appears we get one of the "vinyls" on song #2--the Delbert is sounding pretty warm to me.

aaaack! "Sausalito Summer Katrina".  Think this is vinyl, tho'

And kudos for the political segue: the PATCO strike followed by Reagan talking about those nasty union-busting commies.

I think this Diesel track is always on vinyl, as I'd be surprised if anyone ever bothered to put it back into print on CD.  I can't tell by audio -- I use cheap speakers.

he's found his way home. I'd prefer "Friends of Mr Cairo", but this is actually sounding nice today. Dude, it's tolerable prog rock!

Tubes, "Amnesia" -- I forget, is this officially a Katrina yet?

Hearing Ronald Reagan's voice always threatens to ruin my day.

Hearing Tubes go corporate-rock in the quest for a hit single doesn't help.  Dare I hope Dave finds some room for Marty Balin's "Hearts" (he's never played it, even though Marty's 1978 JS hits are all near-Katrinas), ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All," or REO's "Keep on Loving You"?

WOS to AC/DC.  Important in the band's history, I know, but I've heard the riff sampled so many times by uncreative techno/electro dance DJs that it's just noise.  Besides, Brian Johnson's voice is nails-to-the-chalkboard for me.
