24 March 2011: It's... 1978

[Wayback]

Did not put Baker St. on my request list but it is always a welcome listen. VHM

The intro always fools me into thinking it's Boogie Nights! 

I just posted this in your FB thread, but for everyone else -- the Motors other '78 single, "Forget About You", which TOTALLY rips off the GrassRoots' "Sooner or Later". An earworm if ever there was:

Sure does! And I still have their 45 in picture sleeve of "Love & Loneliness"

I have that 45 too! Produced by Jimmy Iovine; their last-ditch attempt at US commercial success. (it flopped)

I got to hear most of this on the car radio last week, all kinds of great bustouts, but I phoned in my vote for C'a Plane Pour Moi.

But how come it's taken the entire nation of France 30 years to come up with a better band than Plastic Bertrand?  (I do loves me some Phoenix).
