pplains, I don't know what you're trying to say.

A guy who had always sported terrible hair.

Son, if you gotta ask...

Knew a guy who fit that look in college. Amateur photographer. Had his own tripod and lightbox and everything.

i've had 12 show up so far, including my #4 and #9

mentioned this on the nomination and/or voting thread but eminence front is one of the only tracks i can think of that sits comfortably in both the CR and balearic canons

love eminence front so so much. i think you could make a case for other tracks in this poll like "fly like an eagle" (particularly cosmic if you cut out after the intro) and a few fleetwood mac tunes, but i say this more because i see them pop up on lists etc not nec b/c i agree

majoooor <3 for "ebony eyes"! ilx has a thread for all the secret 'mac right?

I shopped at Granny Takes a Trip in 1975,too.

dying @ this, <3 u Sandy

Only 2 of mine have shown up so far (BTO, Steve Miller Band*), but my ballots tend to be exercises in defiance, so no surprise.

*It shocked the hell out of me after a day of cutting and ordering and pondering to find "Fly Like an Eagle" still hanging around on my ballot. There's no difference between Steve Miller and Dave Matthews in my mind, but "Eagle" is hard to fuck with, and the essence of what I consider to be CR.

8 of mine have placed. The highest so far is my #9, which was Stay With Me

huh so that song that i've heard a million times is by toto, who knew

hold the line is such a jam

ITS NOT IN THE WAY YOU SAY YOU'RE MIII-IIIINE OOOO OOOO
OOOOH

My highest so far was Walk Away, #11. Veg, you really are my musical soul sister.

:D

Also, I've been slacking on my stories because (1) this thread is about THE RESULTS, not my foolish behavior in my youth and (2) I'm at work and on my phone while the rollout is going on, which makes keeping up with things hard, but since The Load Out was a hot topic of conversation earlier today, I have a LOAD OUT STORY:

I was living in LA, it was 1978, and God, I hated that song so much (still do). So anyhow, my friends and I were walking down Sunset, we walked past SIR Studios (popular rehearsal space in Hollywood) and there were some roadies loading equipment into the building and standing right there, not really doing anything, was Jackson Browne. My friends and I were almost always drunk and/or on Quaaludes, so I yelled "hey Jackson, you getting the load out?" And he flipped me off.

YES!

A+++

hate Browne/love that story

Getting flipped off by Jackson Browne means you are living a right life.

Looooool

Anybody got any fun Edgar Winter stories?

I saw him signing Scientology/Hubbard/Mission Earth stuff at WorldCon 1989. I think my wife got his autograph.

HERO

If I were a woman Jackson Browne and J.D. Souther would seduce me, raid my purse for coke money, and right a song in which I'm a devil woman who inspires fountains of sorrow.

What is it about the internet and misspelling?

so I yelled "hey Jackson, you getting the load out?" And he flipped me off.

― Dr. Winston O'Boogie Chillen' (James Redd and the Blecchs)

Yes, that in fact is the correct answer :)

lol I misread that as being dr. morbs complaining

"Cookie"

Mrs. Redd claims to have superior autocorrect on her phone, an android.

Can it autocorrect misread posts?

Think that is coming with the next zing upgrade.

Sorry can we all just pause and read Sandy's story again? Because yesssssssssss

am i the only one who hears the screams and the strangled cries of ILMers in love?

I was at a club tonight and got behind the drums and sat in on a jam session for a bit and...for the first time in my life, "FREE BIRD!" was yelled at me while I was onstage playing music.

this poll is cursed, man.

a+

this thread/poll rules. party on, everyone, and a huge thank you to some dude and gr8080

because of this thread i just totally killed at REO Speedwagon & 38 Special on Rockband <3

Good morning, folks. It's time to recreate what has yet to be created, whatever the hell that means.

60. The Doobie Brothers – What A Fool Believes
991 points, 15 votes

So many great keyboard sounds. So many great beard sounds.

This is the one time in the poll where I will join in on the "is this classic rock enough?" handwringing. In my mind Michael McDonald-era Doobies is less CR than pre-MM Doobies, and even then "Takin' It To The Streets" is the most classic rock MM single, this feels like much more of a crossover pop hit, don't think I've heard it on rock radio in a long time.

Agreed

This song's rhythm was as often imitated as totos dink dink dink piano

Robbie Dupree 'hot rod hearts' etc

Yesterday we left off with Fleetwood Mac, and this morning we started with the Doobie Brothers. I guess this means we've got a Doobie Mac sandwich here...reminds me of the time I got pulled over by the cops and had to hide a joint in my McDonald's burger.
