  1. Gloria Gaynor is a political issue? She grew up in a poor black family. What am I missing?

    1. OK, Kenji, you’re naming them….BUT…
      How could you forget “Green Tambourine” by the Lemon Pipers?!
      Heck, even the damn Unicorn by the Irish Rovers?
      Bits and Pieces by the Dave Clark 5.
      Whatever song Chad and Jeremy sang?
      One Toke Over the Line by Brewer and Shipley.
      Crimson and Clover by Tommy James and the Shondells.
      Shite, even Valley Girl By Zappa. his only radio hit?
      Standing by for your inevitable rebuttal…wink.

        1. I concede on DC 5, whom I loved.
          BUT…you still did not address Chad and Jeremy, you glorious bastard.
          PS…got you on green tambourine…heh! A rare day to get you, dude.

          1. A rare day to get me? Ha! You’ve FORGOTTEN more than I’ll ever know. You’re the man … I’m just a hack.

            However, I must say that I quite like the ENTIRE Golden Earring lp Moonbeam (with radar love). I especially like this cut … “Are you Receiving Me”. I love the tempo breakdown about halfway thru when the ethereal, psychedelic-prog guitar starts up. It almost reminds me of a sweet Mick Taylor run.

    2. I think the 7″ single edit of “Roundabout” by Yes is actually better than the full piece. But there weren’t many like that.

      1. Good call. I admit that I wore out my Yessongs version of Roundabout … round bout 1974. I can rarely get enough Chris Squire or Steve Howe.
