"Uncle John's Band" sounds lovely when you haven't heard it in a while.

Ditto ELP's "Lucky Man" -- proxy of shray.

a-woman-a-touch-a-mah-soul-now: VHM "Tighter, Tighter"

BOS2 Neil, "When You Dance I Can Really Love".

OTOH, "Lola" really should be mothballed for a year or 2.

Thur 12/30/10: 1979

pretty crappy so far: Cars, Journey...

ZZT are bad and not-quite-nationwide in '79. Clash call London, Parsons is damned if he do and AC/DC are on the highway to you-know-where. And the woman filling in for Bob says Roots premiered in '79 -- oops, it was '77, babe.

Well, the Iggles' "Sad Cafe" is a rarity if nothing else. VHM.

We don't need no edjumacayshun; Mr Cougar needs a lover. VHM JCM.

Ending with the only-on-The Drive "Full Moon Turn My Head Around" by Off Broadway, who sound a bit like Men at Work.

uber-BOS4 the Electric Prunes -- one of the greatest singles evah.
