time is just flying by... seems like every day I say "didn't we just do 19__?" and then I look at the calendar and see it's been, like, 5 weeks.

Yay Rockpile, the quintessential Mike BOS/Gaz WOS.

Sorry, my co-worker had to talk to me & although I love her dearly, some days her English is just not up to snuff & the conversation takes forever.

Pretty good set so far (imho), starting off with the least Who-like thing Townshend ever did.

Oooh, kudos to Dave for the Peter Jennings clip.

Okay, I have to give a vhm to everything so far, but BOS to the Heads.

This really was one of the cornerstone albums of the decade.

which Dead track is this?  VHM for the fact that it's not one the top 20 that I can ID after 3 chords.

kfog played tea leaf green? they're pretty cool in concert, but the live cd is missing some of the magic.

Heh, I can ID it in 2 chords.  Or so.  It's Althea, but you probably already know that by now.

Yay Rockpile, the quintessential Mike BOS/Gaz WOS.

I loves me some Rockpile, and I gots the 20th anniversary edition bonus-track-laden CD to prove it.
