Journey when they were... transitioning. VHM "Wheel in the Sky", a great-sounding radio single if nothing else

Indeed, pretty much my thoughts exactly.
Preceeded by Zevon's Werewolf, is this gonna be a whole set of 'W' songs?
-
BOS to Seger's "Still the Same." I dislike a lot of his work, but this one pressed all the right emotional buttons for me. Something about the way he ends each line on a hanging minor note just gives me chills. Were I a student of music theory, I'd be studying this one to understand why it gets to me so.

The Seger would've had to have been "We've Got Tonight" to make that so.

BOS2 to another lovely piano-based rocker (and who the hell's writing piano rock these days besides Ben Folds?), my adored JS and "Count on Me." (Proxy BOS from Alicat too, ne?)
-
My second favorite Marty Balin song, & I think Gaz's as well. "Count On Me"
-
PS: Jesse Barish, the writer of this song, was a Marty Balin colleague and discovery. Balin wanted this song, leaving Barish with a tough choice: record it himself and hope for a hit, or give it to the JS, who would give it a far bigger audience and reach. He went with the latter, got his Top 10 writing credit, and wrote a few more things for Balin, but his own solo career was lost in the process.

I think everyone knows somebody like the person he's singing about. I know I did (he was an early before-I-was-out crush), so it gets to me too.
And lo, it's "Count on Me", perfectly used to close Family Stone.

Ooh, tough call. "Miracles" is #1, of course, but "Count on Me" is in a dogfight for #2 with "Caroline," "Tumblin'," and "Today." And if we count his solo material, "Hearts" (which I think is another Barish composition) would be right next to "Miracles."

In the great-song-from-horrible-movie slot, the Dan, "FM". Hurry the bottle, princess.

Feed her some hungry reggae, she'll love ya twice.
I've tried that, but never got it to work.

Does there exist a more sparkly and sunshiny opening in rock/soul history than those first few bars of EWF's "September"? I thought not.

Niedermeyer!
Dead!

bow-day-ow-day-ow-day-ow!
BOS Cheap Trick's career peak.

Did Bruce ever record "Because the Night" on his own, or perform it by himself in concert? I'm imagining that being the three sexiest minutes in rock history if it happened.
-
Honorable cheeze: Fogelberg and Weisberg (and Henley on backing vox) on "The Power of Gold."

yes, it's on the live boxed set from '86, and that version was a single too, tho' I think it missed the Top 40.
I saw him do it at Madison Square Garden, Thanksgiving nite 1980 -- my friend turned to me and said -- do ya think he'll do a cover of "Frederick" next?

Track 5, Disc 2, Live 1975-85

Agreed. And Twins Sons of Different Mothers was a great album title.

I got to BOS this, for some reason my college roommate & I would rock out to this 2 years later.
and I didn't know that backing vox trivia.
And another BOS for a deep Who track.
-
BOS Who, "I've Had Enough", a track from Who Are You? you rarely hear.

Yes, because Two Nice Jewish Boys was already taken.

"Quite an aggressive string arrangement" -- spot on, Rob.
-
spot on, Rob.
spot on, Rob Bob.
Typo or Freudian slip?
-
Don't Touch That Dial!
More Who, if you didn't switch immediately: "Join Together With The Band"
-

post-set: more Who. "Join Together".
"We don't move in any 'ticular direction." Has anyone else ever contracted "particular" in that way? I doubt it.
