BOS4 Mick'n'Keef. But why does he have hole in his pants.

So Geoff do you hate ALL power-pop? I'm rather shocked, I must say.

[RGMike]

uber-BOS5 Nilsson.

"Oh Miss Annalisa, you're on FIRE today!!"

Sorry.  Jeezus someone on FB spelled it "neilssen". Shoot me.

Not that this was bad or anything but AL is capable of so much more.

not at all, I just wondered where people heard the Raspberries.  I was imagining that since people were younger than me, and I was here in SF listening to KSAN, most people had other radio experiences in 1972.  I recognize Eric Carmen's excellent voice, as a musician, I just find it a bit saccharine.  I don't really include it in Power Pop, like "Girl of My Dreams" etc. but that's just me.

Patience with the LCD. You restrained yourself from providing correction?

In NYC the "prog" station, WNEW-FM played the hell out of all things Raspberries/Carmen. How could anyone ignore the fact they were a Beatles hommage?

Sounds more like he's channeling Orbison to me.

I believe you are right, sir. But nary a bustout in sight--the L&M tune is about the closest to a rarity, I think.

[Wayback]

Was it the loooong version of "Angry Eyes"?  I'll listen tonight and find out!

"Thick As A Brick" was one of my FB requests, glad it made the cut, would have been the bustout of the century if it was the entire album version!
