    One thing I think we can all agree on...

     

    Initially McCoy was better off just paying her some "hush money" and cutting his losses when they broke up.  Is he wrong to want to be able to just walk away from this relationship? No, but let's be real here... she just suddenly become a crazy person.

     

    I do think it would be cool if McCoy made this his hill to die on and found a way to drag her through a lengthy court process and never settle with her.

    This. Bills fans are crazy enough to set up a gofundme page for his legal fees lol.

    Outstanding covers?

    Iconic albums maybe.  I’m not sure why the covers are outstanding. 

     

    Covers of outstanding albums, or outstanding album covers?

    Ain’t the English language wonderful?

    I think its because we've seen them all thousands of times... the younger generation (earbud generation) probably hasn't seen 10 of them. And you're right, for the most part these are just outstanding albums. There is other good artwork out there... Jasper Wrath from 1971 for example, up close its some guys sitting a cave. Set it across the room and its a monster face:

    Wow, I had a Jean Luc Ponty phase. I could not have come up with the name without a prompting though. But it was a real thing, late 70’s to early 80’s? 

    I think Cosmic Messenger really got him noticed but a few other standouts to me are Civilized Evil, the Live Lp (Ralph Armstrong is a monster on the bass), and Aurora.

     

    If you are bored here is Ponty when he was in the MOI, this probably was towards the very end of his time with this band before he went out on his own. The guy in the plaid pants is pretty good too.

    If I answered this today, I could have a whole new top 5 tomorrow. Depends on what you’re in the mood for, I guess. 

    Other than the MOI lp absolutely... I go on runs with things, on a Jean Luc Ponty one right now.

                   Interesting choice in albums.   I think our tastes overlap.   I had both of these albums.   At the time Sweetheart of the Rodeo was a bit of a disappointment.  I loved the Byrd sound especially on the Gene Clark compositions.   However, I did like it enough to get the Burrito album.     So the only one missing is Poco and as a Richie Furay fan from his Buffalo Springfield Days, I have Picken up the Pieces also.

    There is one more missing piece. I owned Safe at Home once, it was a white label promo and I'm not sure if it was legit or not but I sold it probably 20 years ago.

    First country/rock album ever? I don't know but it has to be one of the very first. Enjoy:

    I know, and on the Florida Sportsman forums i go to they are laughing at me too for moving back down to that absolute hell.  But the daughter and FSIL both have pretty good career prospects and of course the wife wants to be closer.  I was internet scouting and Loxahatchee looks pretty passable.   1 acre lots, no HOA, room for the boat (it's in a storage facility now and i hate that, more motors get stolen from those places than anywhere else).   

     

    The current HOA sucks.  We have bahia so no grass issues, not that I would water anyway.   But I had a collapsible basketball goal a few years ago and left it by the road and the HOA had kittens.  Challenge accepted.    Then they send you a notice every once in a while "you need to keep your garbage bin inside your garage"....Yea and you can go eff yourself kindly.   If they had trash pickup twice a week, maybe MAYBE.  But this once a week crap where the neighbors on the other side of the street get it Tuesday/Friday is total BS.    I have no idea what our HOA does other than hassle me

     

    One guy called the police because I parked the boat/truck in the driveway and blocked the sidewalk.  So I got a ticket from the PD who didn't bother to knock on my door and say "hey mind moving the truck so people can walk the sidewalk?" which I would have been more than happy to do, i was in the house literally 30 minutes and  I come out to a $45 driving award??!!!!  So after I stopped the blackout rage I did get it thrown out.    

     

    Never again.   

    No offense, and I don't think you would take it that way... but your wife sounds clingy with the kids... on the other hand, if they take after you they would be more adventurous and would want a neat place to "get out of dodge" every once in awhile... aka the place more north and out of !@#$ing Florida. 

     

    Btw, ten seconds after I posted above this post the power went out for an hour... **** is moving west now.

    5 acres would be fantastic.   I would kill for some land.  

     

    Actually we're considering moving in a couple years when my son graduates hs.   Wife wants to be closer to the daughter and the FSIL.    

     

    Found a place near south FL that is pretty perfect.   1 acre lots, not far from boat ramps.   We'll see.  But after 15 years in an HOA I'll never consider one again.  

    I honestly don't know how you made it that long with the binocular people and the St. Augustine grass requirements (which is a MAJOR scam by developers and HOA because it requires so much water and care) and all of the other bull **** that goes on, I get bombarded by it every day at work.

     

    I've been posting with you for a long time and to move to south Florida seems like you are moving the Wrong way, you need to move more North. Plus, the !@#$ing hurricanes are another reason, especially down there. I can't wait to get the !@#$ out of WCF... and Florida in general.

         It is always difficult to narrow down a list of anything to 5, and to choose how to determine "favorite."   Favorite all time?  Favorite now?   I was going to start a thread where you had to list your albums in lifetime order of number of plays.  That would be a bit different that what I list here.  But if I want to listen to something now, I guess it would be because it is my favorite.

     

        Fleetwood Mac - Then Played On      The first incarnation of Fleedwood Mac, better than the second IMO

        Moby Grape - Moby Grape         A group which should have been big but they released 3 singles at the same time which confused Radio stations on what to play

        The Kinks -  Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall  of the British Empire)       Many good Kinks albums around this time, difficult even to pick my favorite but Ray is always a great listen,

        The Strawbs -  Acoustic Gold          Really sort of an acoustic greatest hits but these were not really hits commercially, just very good songs.

        Fairport Convention -  Liege and Lief       English folk rock, always loved this group especially with Sandy Denny

     

        Albums don't seem to be a strong song wise as they used to be, but I always wonder if that is just because I don't commit to playing them enough to get hooked on them.  And all these seem to be based on my listening during my early 20's.

     

     

    Interesting 5 you chose, I used to have the first Moby Grape Lp with the "finger" on it that was removed.

    You strike me as someone who would like/is into Steeleye Span, I have one album that Bowie played sax on.

  9. Met a guy from Alden this morning at the Publix across the street... he had a Fredex t-shirt on, was down here (FL) visiting family. This time of year I'll run into a Bills fan a few times a week but once the regular season starts its every day, pretty cool club we belong to... I enjoy the back home/Bills conversations. All it takes is the logo and its an immediate connection.

    Zeppelin I-IV are their finest work.  Houses of the Holy is OK, and it was all downhill after that.  

     

    Of the first four albums that form the backbone of their work, III is easily the weakest.

     

    I guess that's why it tends to get passed over.

     

     

    Please tell me you are kidding here... all downhill after Houses of the Holy? Why is this jewel of an album not in the mix?

    I just love that, to quote Trace Atkins, country songs are "songs about me". I can directly relate to it, and just for that reason it's hard to beat.

     

    Country also takes it for me because of Bluegrass, which I consider to be an extension of the genre. You add Bill Monroe, Ricky Skaggs, Earl Scruggs, amd Doc Watson to the country list and there's no list of Brits that tops it. Imo of course.

    Where would you rate this one?

     

    or, this one...

    Agreed on both....My only tattoo is the VH with both my sons names like Eddie has with Wolfgang....Also love Aerosmith, Motley Crue , Steve Miller Band, Disturbed...etc...And Rush is in my top 5 bands...they are simply incredible....Some of the best shows I've ever seen....All 3 were extremely talented musicians....

    Rush was my first concert ever, at the Aud 76... ticket $6.00. I still have the stub and its "readable" lol. 

     

    I love talking music and the best part of it is is that no one is right or wrong. 

     

    Steve Miller Band. The music in the Capitol days was superb, and Fly like an eagle was the last good thing this dude has done. Have seen him 3 times since then and every one of those concerts sucked. Completely sucked. Just horrible. At least the last time Joe Cocker played on the same bill, made it excellent.
