BOS to Pete & Ronnie for me, but VHM to the Feats, Elvis & Bonnie. Not bad, not bad at all.

listening now on soundcloud.. I like The Core, but I'm sure some wag has called it The Bore, The Snore, The Chore.  In fact, I haven't read the comments here yet, and I bet one of those appeared. 

BOS to Pete & Ronnie for me, too -- so far.   ( I'm just now hearing Santana.  This was 77? I coulda swore it was earlier..)     

But anyway, there's a doc film out there on Ronnie Lane and how he stuck to his artistic principles instead of milking "The Faces with Rod Stewart" cash cow.  When he was on hard times, and then got sick with MS, his friends came out to support him, including Pete Townshend.

1977... ugh.  BOS Little Feat, VHM to Clapton & Costello.  Otherwise a largely mediocre set.

Time Loves A Hero reminds me more of 1978, because that's when I heard it a lot.  Little Feat
was one of the groups that got me through the late '70s after I discovered them and started
exploring their back catalog.
