What Are You Listening To?
writing critic Wrote:never ever been a fan of rush. not really sure why, maybe its because they sound too perfect or something. also, they have no soul whatsoever. as far as old stuff go's, i've been listening to a lot of the Steve Miller band lately. new stuff, i'd have to say i really like a new artist i came across while listening to Steve Miller Band on internet radio named Nate Sustar. http://natesustar.com/

Have to agree with you. Rush just never grabbed my attention. All good musicians but there was always something missing and for the life of me I cannot figure out what it is.

To be followed by Sixto Rodriguez's 'Cold Fact'. Watched the documentary 'Searching for Sugarman' on the plane back from SA. Really took me back to some good old days. Brilliant lyricist - better than Dylan!!!

And after that it's going to be REM's 'Automatic for the People' - a classic if ever there was one. Favourite track has to be 'Find the River'.

Pretty good grunge/punk I think, with 2 love tracks and nothing I don't like. This is the groups
second album and first to hit a chart, with Australia leading the way with a #9 showing and #25
in the states. That first album was on an indie label, and the move to Capitol paid off. First
single here was Heroin Girl which got college radio play, but nowhere else. The one that put
them on the map was Santa Monica, which gets my favorite. That must be why I felt this purchase
worthy. Think I followed with the next album plus one more.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Debut album and it put them on the map with Born To Be Wild which helped immortalize the film
Easy Rider. The song is one of those that you got sick of hearing on the classic rock stations,
but it deserved to be there. Always loved John Kay's growly vocals. Didn't know he was a
German. Relocated to Canada when he was a kid where he formed the band Sparrows. No success
there but moved to California where he formed Steppenwolf in 1967. That Canada connection must
explain the #1 charting for this album there. Got to #6 here with Born To Be Wild making #2.
That was the highest charting single the group had. Nice Chuck Berry Tribute with Berry Rides
Again along with a cool cover of Willie Dixons Hootchie Kootchie Man. The Pusher has always
been my favorite. Five love tracks and nothing I don't like. I really need a best of set from
these guys.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM
