I gotta give a listen to that one! I have the first three S.M. albums on Lp, but nothing after that.

I much prefer their more jazz-centric albums starting with the 4th one.

I'll always have fond memories of this album.

I was just beginning to get over my Supertramp-phobia when I went to the Allentown fair and played a dart game that had vinyl albums as prizes.  I ran a game stand at Dorney Park at the time so I practiced games like that all summer.  Well, as expected I won the dart game and the only album they had that appealed to me was "Breakfast In America" so I picked that one. On the ride home everyone was so jealous because that album was enjoying its peak at the time.

Good memories.

I had the 45 single of Logical Song for awhile before finally getting the entire album. It has been a favorite of mine since '79.

HAHAHAHA!!  "45 single".

Anyone under the age of around 30 has no idea what you're talking about.

When you're a pre-teen you're basically stuck with money you get from birthdays and Christmas and occasionally you'll get a few bucks for mowing the lawn or something. 45s fit my budget.

I still say most young people today have no clue what a 45 is unless it's a gun. Same thing with Sony Walkman and Discman players. Or typewriters. Or cassette tapes.

Geez I'm old.

My music collecting began because my Grandmother gave me a stack of 45s that my Uncle had left when he went away to college. I was about 4 at the time. So my initial exposure to rock were the bands my Uncle liked: The Beatles, Steppenwolf, The Doors, Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Badfinger, The Moody Blues, Jimi Hendrix, The James Gang.

That's about as great a collection of artists as a kid could be exposed to.

Yeah it was a nice start.

My Mother also had good taste in music and she introduced me to many great bands. It was a pretty cool house to grow up in to be honest. She started taking me to concerts when I was 6.

On LP:

Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young - Deja Vu
Jackson Browne - The Pretender
Queen - Queen

I think that's the first playlist you've ever posted where I like every album! Great variety there and nice choices.

Big Big Train - Far Skies Deep Time
