Boz "Shuffle"s on in; Boston seek "Peace of Mind". I seek anything I haven't heard a billion times.

And while this technically fits that description... WOS the Nuge. Apparently it's only "Free For All" who are white and straight and meat-eating.

Good lord: "Bo-'trinian Rhapso-'trina". bathroom break!

The mornin' light comes streamin' in: BOS "The Pretender"

yeesh & sheesh: Tyler & Perry meet a cheerleader who was a real young bleeder. Er, ewww.  And heeeere's non-Swede Miller.

"You are the woman!"
"No, YOU be the woman -- I was the woman last time!"
VHM Firefall.

aaack: WOS2 Kansas, "The Wall". Like a maiden that is soon to be a briiiiiide!!

BOS2 "Silver Springs" -- the Goat before she got too goaty.

More bubblegum! VHM TJ/Shondells, "Alone" at last. BOS2 "Ruby Tuesday".  Coulda done w/out "Nights in White Satin". Ditto "Itchykoo Park".

BOS3 "Fixing a Hole", a lesser-heard choice from Sgt Pepper's. And now we skip a light fandango with the Harum.

Oh fer chrissakes, Davy: it's SEVEN A!!!  A daydream believer and an old closet queen.

eeek: we're on the lunatic fringe.

VHM Go-Gos.

aaaack: WOS Journey. But BOS George, all those years ago. "You said it all, tho' not many had ears" -- I've always liked that line.

VHM Foreigner: I've been waiting for some cheeze-for-breakfast.

Cheeze is one thing; I draw the line at Billy Squier.

Phil pheels it comin', the first time around.

good lord, Aldo Nova too??
