I never hear LRB except from Bob here, and it always takes me back to my junior year of HS.

He made her feel Sooo Saaaad.....

VHM for VH, imho Michael Anthony never got any credit for being possibly the best harmony vocalist in hard rock history.

another VHM to the Stones, one of my favorite Motown Covers (maybe Dave'll play the original on Motown Monday today).
 
VHM4 EWF.  I'm just in a VHM kinda mood, I guess.

I didn't know EWF were Chicagoans.  Interesting.

1978 charts
« Reply #8 on: June 06, 2005, 08:20:37 AM »
I don't know the definitive charts, but for fun I call up the iTunes hot 100 for that year, and see Serpentine Fire, but they don't list September.  Two ABBA's and at least a couple of Bee Gees

You're right, but Bob has been consistent about using the earliest chart dates possible & according to my Whitburn, "September" entered the charts 12/16/78, obviously not peaking until well into 1979.

Al Stewart Time Passages

kinda sappy, but I always liked the guitar/sax morph job, kind of like Tower of Power's "Sparkling in the Sand."

Whenever I hear anything from this album in a '78 set I just remember how completely unique Dire Straits sounded to me when they first came out.  I just loved this album & nothing else sounded like it.  Still doesn't.

Like others before & after him, Mr Stewart did his most interesting work on a smallish label (Janus), had a left-field hit on said label ("Year of the Cat"), got tons o' cash thrown at him by Clive Davis, and made a slick, splashy big-label debut... after which it was all downhill.  The LP with "Roads to Russia" and "Nostradamus" is worth seeking out.

R.I.P. Keith Moon
« Reply #14 on: June 06, 2005, 08:39:33 AM »
Another vhm for the 'Oo.

If you've ever seen the in-studio footage of them performing this song that was filmed specially for The Kids Are Alright, keep in mind that Moon died just a day or two later.
