8/8/8 is lucky, all right: '72 from Rob and '69 from Bob.

OMFG and BOS: Todd, "Couldn't I Just Tell You". That this wasn't a huge hit single is one of the tragedies of the '70s.  The Raspberries shoulda covered it.

We heard "America" the song, and now we hear America the band.  VHM to "Horse."

I think it was someone here who pointed out the genius of the "Horse With No Name" arrangement: the first refrain is sung solo, the second as two-man harmony, and the third with all three in harmony.  Great build that way.

and Rob makes it a Goodman twin-spin of sorts with Arlo's "City of New Orleans". BOS3, still lovely.

Sorry, Rob -- Tull's "Living in the Past" peaked at #11, not #3.
