Darn! I forgot one I wanted to mention. I only discovered it because I liked the album cover. I wish I knowed how to post the picture.

Runner-s/t (1978)

it's like the Doobies crossed with The Little River Band or Poco. Nice 70's Pop/rock with a little thump. I think they must have had a minor hit off this album, but I don't remember it.

Is that the band that has a member of Rare Bird in it? Steve Gould(sp).

Yea and to anyone else wanting to hear anything different besides metal I really recommend that Chuck Mosely cd. Everyone I have played it for really liked it and ending up buying it. Theres a mix of everything on that.
