what happened to cool album covers?
first time hearing this 17th album from the boss
I've been sporadic since Tom Joad
this went straight to #1 here as would be expected
on lists as best album of the year
have to say I wasn't impressed
you can never go home again
a few tracks I like
this is my fav

Pye Records put out a series of albums covering the British Invasion groups
the Kinks have to be in my top 5 of that class
this 12 track compilation covers the early years
love most of them
my fav

Sunny Afternoon, Waterloo Sunset and your link would be my three favourite singles by them from the 1960s

hate it when it happens but I can't fake it
most of these superstar artists just burn out for me
you can't maintain that originality after you've reached that position
nothing on that Wrecking Ball album that comes close to the fire Bruce had back in the day
Born To Run is one of the best rock albums ever made
and I'm not fooled by the Bruce is one of the working men stuff
he may have empathy for the working man but that's it
not saying that's not worth something, it is
in the end I love Bruce so long may he run
but I'll stick with the glory days

An absolutely brilliant band - they used to drive engineers bananas in their quest for perfection. Can't remember which album it was, but they went through a whole string of audio engineers before they were happy with the result.

I saw an interview with Glen Frey once and he was explaining the meaning behind the line "stick them with their steely knives"...
It went along the lines of...
My girlfriend at the time was a huge Steely Dan fan and she was always playing their albums,
I used to say they're our competition and you shouldn't be supporting them, thus we used to argue
over the band, she was always sticking the steely knives to me!

from wiki
Band leaders Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were unhappy with the album's sound quality owing to an equipment malfunction with the then-new dbx noise reduction system. The group has claimed that the damage was mostly repaired after consulting with the engineers at dbx, but Fagen and Becker still refused to listen to the completed album.
