    The vocal arrangements in that song are amazing.

    Fleetwood Mac - Heroes Are Hard To Find. Bob Weston was out after apparently having an affair with Mick Fleetwood’s wife. And it’s the last album before Bob Welch left and was replaced with Lindsey and Stevie.

    I like the opening title track, a Christine McVie song. Come A Little Bit Closer and Prove Your Love (also hers) are pretty good too. Lots of Welch songs on the album. I like Born Enchanter and the closing (mostly) instrumental Safe Harbour.

    Saw them only once myself, during the summer of '87 at Pier 84 in NYC. They were smoking hot at the time from doing the La Bamba soundtrack, and put on a great show with a raucous NYC crowd.

    "Emaciated Man in His Underwear, Staring into the Distance Whilst Playing with a Nude Child (Front and Profiles)" is one of the strangest album covers on a major label that you'll ever see. Does it seem to fit the music in some way?

    Indeed! And I’d have to say it doesn’t.

    Los Lobos is way more to the liking of my wife as in> career spanning interest . I first saw them open for electric Hot Tuna ("more reverb Jorma!") at the BCT somewhere at the end of '83 and they were raw and rocked hard. From there to my way of thinking each proceeding time I saw them, they seemed to spit less fire and I saw them a bunch of times in the 80's and a few times in the 90's...

    After some GBV albums, I finally listened to the first two Galaxie 500 albums today after seeing them mentioned many times over the years. The guitar playing is great. Some of the melodic stuff was a little much for my taste, but usually if I stuck through something I didn't like, there would be something really nice that followed. I'll give these another listen for sure, and might try some Luna afterwards.

    Is that band named after a mediocre Ford sedan?

    Affirmative. That was the best those Harvard nerds could come up with. They probably would've had better luck if they blindly opened a book.

    Its funny how when I was younger this was considered a Sgt Pepper wannabee by a lot of music mags. When I finally heard it I loved it. Great album :righton:

    It is the psych record that Sgt. Peppers wished it could be.

    So checking this out from my recent vinyl lot score. Gap Mangione. I wrongly assumed it was some weird supergroup of The Gap Band and Chuck Mangione lol. Its actually a solo album from Chucks older brother Gap. It was 33 cents and not horrible.

    My calendar just reminded me about Ty Segall tomorrow in Oakland. I'm so there. In an alternate universe, anyway.

    2000 Light Years From Home is such a good song, and Citadel and on and on...

    C’mon now. Both are classics, but neither are Forever Changes.

    ...and Forever Changes is no Songs of Leonard Cohen.
