What album takes you back to when you were 15?

I loved hearing Rio this morning, but Duran Duran were after my time.
I remember a friend getting Thriller on vinyl.

Other memorable abums (but before I was 15), Godspell and JCS.
What year was Highway to Hell? I had that on vinyl.


Springsteen's Born to Run
ELO-Face the Music
Jefferson Starship-Red Octopus
Lynyrd Skynyrd-Pronounced
Chicago-VII

In early 1988 I was halfheartedly listening to Top 40 radio -- only a handful of songs, like Prince's "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" and Roachford's "Cuddly Toy" and New Order's "True Faith" really blew my mind.  The rest of the time I spent edumacating myself on the Jefferson Airplane, Monkees, and Three Dog Night catalogs.

Oh, and speaking of Red Octopus: I didn't get the book deal.

Agreed on the Godspell & the JCS, but that was when we were 8 or 10.

I was trying to think how to answer this question, and realized that when I was 15 was when my musical world exploded.  I had three distinct influences.  Phil Bernstein was a Sr. whose locker was next to mine & he didn't disdain talking to a sophomore.  He had a gig on our HS radio station & he was the first kid in Clayton MO (and probably all of metro St. Louis) listening Elvis C, Clash, Sex Pistols, etc. but most of all he turned me on to Marley.  Then there was a small group of Jr.'s that I knew who for a brief spell would include me when they went out on the weekends cruising, getting high, often parking out by the airport under the landing path & they caught me up on the rock classic catalog: Who's Next, Houses of the Holy, Sticky Fingers, etc.  Most significant was Brent Horine, a guy I met at the beginning of the summer when I attended a student conference with kids from different schools put up at a nearby college for the week.  Brent brought his stereo & LP collection with him for the week & I was out jogging when I heard ELP blaring from one of the dorm windows.  So I had to run inside & bang on the door to meet this other person who was into prog rock.  He turned me onto all the obscure stuff that we sometimes hear Bob play & I'm the only one that's ever heard of it.  We stayed close friends for years.

Ironically, after all that is said, the song that actually makes me FEEL 15 again is Chuck Mangione's "Feels So Good".  At the same conference where I met Brent I also met my first girlfriend, or rather the girl who was destined to be.  She lived about 40 miles away, neither of us could drive yet, and in fact she was forbidden to date until she turned 16.  So we had this long distance flirtation, until one day I asked my mom if she wouldn't mind driving me over to Illinois, pick her up, take us to the outdoor Chuck Mangione show, wait for us until it was over, drop her back home & then we could drive back to St. Louis.  Mom said "Sure, why not?"  So then I called the girl, she convinced her parents that with my mom there it wouldn't technically be 'a date', and we were on.  After it started getting dark & Chuck finally got around to playing his big hit single I had my first kiss (hers too!).

So, today on the (Dave-less) Morning Show- Renee and the gang were rippin' on the crappy singers on American Idol last night. They played some snippets and callers had to identify the songs that were being mangled. One of those songs? "Baby Got Back" by Seattle knight Sir Mix-A-Lot.

Naturally, eveyone was all condesending about the song- BUT they did play a snippet of the actual tune. So- I finally, kinda, heard "Baby Got Back" on KFOG.

Did you hear the montage of "I Will Survive" with like a different bad singer doing each line, all strung together to make the whole song?  Ouch!

and the "winner" mis-identified "God Bless the USA" as "Proud to Be An American", which is NOT the title. I was too busy trying to get out the door to call and correct them.

So shortly before the recap, I heard a cover of the Four Tops' "Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever" that somehow was not included in the "Just Played" list.  Was than Susan Tedeschi?  Sounded quite nice indeed.

Yep. I posted something about that a week or two back as well--darn fine take on a great tune (which I misattributed to the Band, who also covered it, albeit 30 years ago.)

FYI, tomorrow the Morning Show welcomes none other than Burt Bacharach.

Dave must be just about giddy with anticipation.

So'd anyone else catch the Bacharach interview this am on the Morning Show? Dave was quite reverential, to put it mildly. They started with a montage of numerous Bacharach/David hits, then a bit of chatter, including a bit of discussion of his newest record, which includes a few songs that are somewhat pointed criticism of the way our country is headed. They played one cut, which featured Elvis Costello, among others, on vocals. And then Dave played Love's Little Red Book (another B-D composition) and asked about how that came about. Unfortunately, by this time I was walking to the bus stop with earbuds in, so his response kept getting drowned out by passing traffic. Hopefully they'll post a recording of the whole thing on the KFOG site.

(Btw, he's at the Palace of Fine Arts tomorrow night, if anyone was wondering.)

if past history is a guide, they'll probably replay it tomorrow in the 6:00am hour.
