I really dig it - it sends me back to my late 60's thru mid 70's radio days when we had a free-form AOR station here in Albuquerque. 3wk concentrates on a roughly 10 year period between say '66 to '75, with occasional forays earlier or later. They also play most everything off of vinyl... the way it was meant to be heard. It's rare that you'll hear anything that was played on radio much at all, let alone on today's commercial classic rock stations. Give it a listen!

Pretty *damned* good, as it were ;-) BTW I did like the Pete ‘n’ Dud original of Bedazzled, but it hasn’t aged well; and though many, many oldskoolers howled in protest at the Liz Hurley remake, I think it’s actually pretty good.

I don't often get off on that sort of thing (though the Muppets' Rickroll - and the Muppets' Bohemian Rhapsody!!! - are Teh Awsum), but that sounds like it could be major fun. Will have a shufti, and thx for the tip! I have a long-standing soft spot for Quantum Leap. It got muddled with the heavy-handed metaphysics, but who cared when we had Scott Bakula being fantastic and Dean Stockwell being even fantastic-er?! (BTW I think Stockwell gets a Lifetime Awesome award, both for playing Al in QL and for the stunningly dyspeptic Brother Cavil in Galactica...the REAL Galactica, not that endearing bot come-on-let's-be-honest lame-arse original...)

No, I suspect we have far too many music-likes (and loves) in common for it to ever come to blows :-) I totally get the 'songs of a certain time of one's life' thing. One of those, for me, was Groovin by the Young (as they were called then) Rascals. Another, long before that, was Mickey and Sylvia Baker's awesome version of Love is Strange - the sweet little blues lick on the turnaround, added to the Ray Charles records my Dad used to bring home, influenced my entire future musical direction. Much later ('70s), another wet Everlys hit reworked into magnificence: Nazareth's take on Love Hurts. And so on. Who's Next, the entire album, was a bag of bricks to the brain *in the very best way*. I have fond memories of, on USA tours when that album first came out, driving across the Southwestern deserts in a huge Transit van with the doors wide open and Won't Get Fooled Again - and Baba O'Reilly! - blasting out and frightening the local wildlife :P ROFL!
