  • I thought I was the only one who knew about Frijid Pink!

    At 16 we drove countless laps in Cedarburg Wisconsin Playing two cassettes over and over. This was one of them. The car only had an am radio. The cassette deck that I bought and installed only allowed me enough money left to buy two tapes. This was one of them.

    It certainly was going to be one of my later round picks. Way to go.

    • "Victoria" was probably safe for awhile after that huge Kinks run, but it's probably my favorite.
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

        It was on my list to pick. The "Arthur..." album is one of my all time favorites.

            Thanks Gregg. I wasn't sure if anyone else knew this version.

                  I'm thinking classic rock bands today.

                  • I too think Luck of the Draw is a fantastic album. The one Chance took isn't one of the 2 songs that standout for me on the album. Though i do enjoy the one that he took.

                      It's not normally my style, either, but that song always just stops me in my tracks. Raitt's vocals are perfect, and the piano work is amazing.
                      I'm just here for the baseball.

                      • Had to do it. They come as a pair. Took them out of order as I like Sheep just so very lightly better than Dogs.

                        Now I can get back to regular programming. You guys had some very strong picks this morning.

                          Did you get Pigs too?

                                Got a last minute ticket for £100 ... standing ... feel a little less dirty.

                                Can't really argue with that ... Strokes at a 2000 capacity venue
