Too Much Time On My Hands and Renegade are irresistible to me, I cannot not love them

And always a nice surprise to see some of Timi Yuro's posts popping up.
Bimble too...

Oh man, I came in here to post about the BTM episode about Styx! I just got KILROY WAS HERE for $4 and am already regretting it. "Mr. Roboto" is obviously incredible but the rest is just boring.

Yeah I can't find anything useful. Lots of great album covers, though, dope logo, dece iconography

No Styx vocalists ever terrified me as a young child, the same can't be said for the REO Speedwagon dude.

I caught part of "The Grand Illusion" this morning on the "classic rock" station. It just made me sad for them. Clumsily scotch-taping vaguely "classical" cliches onto "rock" instrumentation wasn't new in 1977, but they played with a pathetically naive approach like they'd come up with some new shit.

sadly also an apt summary of your mom last night.

<3 I will never hang out with matresslessness for fear of rupturing my sunken chest via uncontrollable laughter

I just listened to the Equinox album on Spotify and...didn't hate it. It's actually a really solid '70s rock album. Catchy songs, a minimum of off-Broadway ballad bullshit...I'd heard their first four albums before, and thought they were OK, though not quite as good as Kansas, and that's kinda where I'd file this one, too.
Looked around on Amazon and realized their catalog's never been remastered or gotten any kind of deluxe reissue treatment. I wonder what's up with that?

as a nine-year-old i *definitely* wanted to see the movie 'kilroy was here' suggested existed
in retrospect i dig 'renegade' and 'blue collar man' but it's all pretty awful
bet u anything that dennis deyoung has pitched a 'kilroy was here' musical tho

DeYoung's scream on "Renegade" is the best thing he's ever done (or would ever do). And it's pretty swinging, given how blocky their rhythm section usually was.

Just listened to "Renegade" for the first time in years... somewhere, there's a universe where this was a CSN track.
