I'm so glad that The Zombies feature in it, they were the 60s forgotten band.<br /><br />Also, I couldn't help but smile when you mentioned your dislike of the pick 'n' mix download. Albums are a piece of art to be taken whole or not at all. Pink Floyd have just won a court case against EMI preventing the download of single tracks from their albums for that very reason. With them it's all or nothing - and quite right too.music obsessivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191742084494035205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11886706.post-49964866252583704772010-03-23T11:59:24.042-07:002010-03-23T11:59:24.042-07:00GREAT POST, DAN!

Several of mine showed up on your list, its ordering them that will be hard for me, I may have to alphabetize or I may drive myself crazy.<br /><br />Good for you for influencing the young man. It makes me so happy to hear about young people that are into any type of music - but ecstatically happy when they like good old rock and roll!Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.com
