WOS to 10cc.  As someone said earlier this hour: "Say something once - why say it again?"

BOS2 to Southside!!! Another rarity (but I don't think it's a bustout).

If Dave played SJ&TAJ's "Love on the Wrong Side of Town" from '77 I'd just about die.

BOS to Graham Parker's take on "Hold Back the Night."  Only slightly lesser to the Trammps' original.  Did this chart?


Graham Parker only grazed the Top 40 once (and just barely at that) with 1985's "Wake Up (Next To You)" - #39.

OK, BOS to Graham Parker. I knew as soon as I voted for ABBA I'd hear something else I liked. See, that's the magic of the Swedish Supergroup...
Got any good ABBA pix?

I think Dave has it in for Gaz today.  (although after Gaz explained why he doesn't like JB, I can at least sympathize if not totally agree).

VHM Mr Buffet, before his shtick calcified. "Changes in Attitudes" indeed.

HM for Mr Buffet.
I was suprised to see he's considered country these days - getting airtime on CMT Country Music Channel  or whatever its called

I don't mind "Changes in Attitudes" at all, in case anyone wondered.  I think Buffett's OK when he's serious-minded; it's his novelty numbers that grate on me.

Per Geoff's query:

Classic ABBA. You really can't go wrong with Swedish women in miniskirts...

he did an album of duets with country types.  A lot of Parrotheads also like country; it was a marriage made in his accountant's office.

Bless you my son; you've made an old man very happy. I can't remember the song where he disses Anita Bryant but I'll always love him for that.

I'm not sure seeing the group enhances my enjoyment of the music!  I really love their music, but they look so hokey!

Oh. See... that's what I like about 'em. Let's face it- one can only "bang their head" so much before their neck hurts. Abba provides variety.

However, I've never seen that musical based on their songs. For me it's gotta be the Original Swedes or forget it. Unfortunately, I've never seen them live, either.
