Bob keeps us in the '70s, thank goddess!
-
a mellow-prog start with "Us & Them". Still can't believe this flopped as a single.
-
relatively rare Doobs, "Without You", and now the nice surprise of Seals & Crofts' "Hummingbird". (They belonged to a religion that believed hummingbirds were sacred, or something. Seriously!)

This is the first tangible thing I've ever learned about Ba'hai.
BOS, at any rate. Just arrived - who/what is "Us & Them"?

BOS that great German Zep tune, "Die-er Macher"
-

No, that's "Tuesday's Gone." I can't get with the message of "Simple Man," though it's not obnoxious like some of their other songs.

I'm largely indifferent to Floyd, and in any case only recognize a few of their songs by title.

I never knew.
"Us'n'Them", "You'n'Me" -- it's all good. BOS2 Chicago.

"Just You 'n' Me": the moment where Peter Cetera took over and made Chicago soft.

"Saturday in the Park" wasn't exactly heavy metal. ;)
-
BOS3 "Helen Wheels" -- say ByeBye!

But they were all over the map then. From JYNM on, they were more or less a ballad machine (well, except "Street Player," but that didn't sell).
-
"gimme the Beach Boys and free mah soul" -- one of the great mondegreens of the decade.
VHM Dobie Gray.
-
I'm going to forget that Uncle Kracker ever defiled this song.
-
BOS to "All the Girls Love Alice," one of Elton's very best and most politicized songs.

"what do you expect from a 16-year-old yo-yo?" Ditto the BOS and your sentiment -- this was truly (for folks listening to album-rock radio in '73) a glimpse into an unseen world.
in 35 years we've gone from "All the Girls Love Alice" to "If You Seek Amy".

wh-wh-wha..?!
I have to check that out.
OT: I'm sure, then, that they've been to Costa Rica, where hummingbirds are abundant in some places, like the cloud forest regions
-
OK, it's off to work for me. This has been a pretty terrible week for me, but at least tomorrow's the weekend. Have a good one, all.
-
Pink Floyd - Us and Them
Doobie Brothers - Without You
Seals & Crofts - Hummingbird
Led Zeppelin - D'Yer Mak'er
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man
Grand Funk - We're An American Band
Chicago - Just You and Me
Paul McCartney/Wings - Helen Wheels
Dobie Gray - Drift Away
Elton John - All the Girls Love Alice

I haven't been able to find it online, but when this was a hit, I specifically remember Casey Kasem saying that S&C were members of the Bah'ai religion and that it teaches that hummingbirds are the earthly presence of god among us, or words to that effect.

You know Paulie wrote this song about his Land Rover (which was called Helen), right? Back before they became luxury SUVs.

No! I love trivia like that. Yeah, the Brits were way ahead on the Land Rover thing.

Guess Paul was big on writing about whatever he saw in his daily life. Dogs, cars, butterpies, stuff like that.
