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.

Abraxas is a phenomenal album. "Hope You're Feeling Better" is my favorite Santana song. Every song is great on it. "Se a Cabo" is another all time fave from them.
Love the Boston pick..They were on my list.
Cheap Trick is so damn cool..Bun E. is the coolest drummer in rock and roll!"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

I never listened to the Stooges because I always thought of Iggy as a moron. The songs are pretty good..but I still think he's a maroon (as Bugs would say)"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Boy, Boston's debut is a killer. "Rock and Roll Band" traffics too much in cliche for me, but the rest of the songs rock, but Longtime/Peace of Mind are just great, and of course More than a Feeling. That's a nice one where I can't imagine we'll see the 2nd album from them (or the others, not being 70s picks).

Your T.Rex pick is a cool one - I have them on my list, but was admittedly looking at them later.I'm just here for the baseball.

Boston's debut is the greatest achievement of mid/late '70s "corporate rock." Yes, it may have been produced for maximum slickness and earwormage, but all the songs are damn good, and Tom Scholz was one of the few true visionaries in that genre.
Oddly, I had it on cassette, where the order was all messed up -- some record companies did that so as to keep the lengths of the sides as equal as possible and minimize fast forwarding and rewinding -- so Revo's breakdown of sides is different from what I knew. Side 1: More than a Feeling, Peace of Mind, Something About You, Let Me Take You Home Tonight. Side 2: Rock and Roll Band, Smokin', Hitch a Ride, Foreplay/Long Time.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

I didn't want Raw Power. Really. I didn't. I didn't want it. I did not want Raw Power. Did not. No. No.
I DIDN'T WANT RAW POWER!Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

TheGaffer making my decision easier for my next pick. Nice one! I'm fairly certain that Revo won't be snaking any of my picks from me ;-)I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.
