So....all this English Progrock was leading to a destination!!! Yes's Tomato. It was going to be a lesson in pomposity in only a way that the English can achieve it. But other zoinks brought up a good point. I was going to post a bunch of songs that while technically good, kind of suck for a multitude of reasons, and I was going to do this knowingly to prove an esoteric point. Kind of a dick move!!!
So instead, here are the three enjoyable songs from Tomato:
1  Don't Kill the Whale
2  Arriving UFO
3  On the Silent Wings of Freedom
On the Silent Wings of Freedom

American "progrock" was for the most part called "jazz fusion." Pages ago, we listened to Return to Forever. That's probably the greatest example of progrock or jazz fusion Americans have to offer, and it is awesome.
But, we're going to do Yes's Going for the One. It's a great album, the last before the band's individual egos started to fight each other even during the songs. (see Tomato.) Plus, it has the added benefit of the titled song is one of my top five love songs. Please to enjoy, Going for the One:
1  Going for the One
2  Parallels
3  Turn of the Century
4  Wonderous Stories
5  Awaken
Going for the One (2008 Remaster)

And today, Gentle readers, we exhibit the last album of the Mighty Led Zeppelin. The following year of In Through the Out Door's release, John Bonham would follow in the foot steps of other greats like Bon Scott, thus ending the band. Sad note, yes, but we still have some of the finest music ever recorded. I still can't think of a song that I wouldn't listen to a couple of times in a row. And now on with the show!!!
1  In the Evening
2  South Bound Saurez

bondo!!!! You're in my head!!!!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh!

So today I was going to introduce the original line up of Fleetwood Mac that existed for about three years until LSD and mental illness joined the group along with Christine MacVie!   I make the joke!! She's very talented. (Bob Welch also joined and the original Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac was gone.) They all originally came from John Mayall's Blues Breakers a phenomenal group of the '60s and sort of fell out of popularity as music changed in the early '70s.

But, really nothing compares to the original. Now, I don't know if bondo works for the NSA or the FBI and they scanned my computer, but first up is The Green Manalishi (with the Two-pronged Crown.) This was recorded in Boston in 1970, so Loop Hole Day has turned into Loop Hole Week!!!!!
Fleetwood Mac ? The Green Manalishi ? Live In Boston 1970 [HQ Audio]

Now, if you like that one, plus bondo's choice, somebody put together over three hours of those Boston shows into one youtube link. It's the weekend, so listen to it when you can. It really is great stuff!!!!

We did early Fleetwood Mac as a way to introduce Mike Vernon. "Who?," the casual man-about-town GDer might ask.

Mike Vernon the producer of Fleetwood Mac, Alvin Lee and Ten Years After, and a number of others that Mike Vernon.

When the British Blues died in the early '70s and club music started to make a rise, a lot of bands without a strong mission statement sort of went adrift as well as producers. In the Music Business, making money is the business. A lot of producers also went into bands, though I can't think of anyone else at this level (Mick Ronson, Tony Viscounti, Adrian Blue) that fronted his own band. The rest were members of the band. Admittedly, this guy doesn't have the presence of a Peter Green or Alvin Lee or the others he produced, but the music is always interesting and ranges to very good to listenable.

I couldn't find a lot of separate songs from Mike Vernon, so we have a song "Brown Alligator" as a bit of an appetizer. If you like it then check out the bits and pieces of two albums that were on youtube.
Mike Vernon - Brown Alligator
Mike Vernon = Bring It Back Home - 1971 - (Full Album )

Without doubt the greatest debut album is.......
Boston.
I'm pretty sure most of you know the background story, and I could end that with "17 million units sold." But, behind all that, there is the story of how with that kind of success available to contract management and a record label if they just let the MIT nerd do his thing his way, all contract management and the label did was complain and complain and complain. Tom Sholtz may be the one guy that defied the rule that they won't let you succeed and be famous unless they can make money off of you.
Fortunately, for the rest of us, we get to listen to a great album!!!

You people ready for the second greatest debut album ever? Are you ready to Rock?!?!!! Are you ready to Roll?!?!!!!
Van Halen literally came out of nowhere!! (If I were to use a map, I believe it's Pasadena, CA.)
10 million units!! Considering at the time, Certified Gold meant 500,000 units "shipped." The other thing that happened with Van Halen was that they changed American music in both good and bad ways. Eddie Van Halen popularized the "tapping" technique by making it "showier." (Not a real word, but most people who played an amplified guitar or bass had been hitting a string on the fret board without using the striking hand. How else do you take a swig of beer and not stop playing. Professionalism!!!!!)
But, then we got the LA Hair Bands! Some were really good and some of those became popular. Some were bad and also became popular. Oh well.

Today is Blue Oyster Cult Day!!! One of my all time favorite bands: Great musicianship, great music, great lyrical content. The music is also fun!!! Not much here to complain about!! BOC and Vanilla Fudge are probably the two greatest New York bands based on sales, concert tickets and impact/influence of other musicians.
Secret Treaties has some really great songs on it.
1  Career of Evil
2  Subhuman
3  Dominance and Submission
4  ME 262 - This song! For those that know about WWII and the first operational jet fighter, this song takes Adolf Galland's unit and gives them the attitude and personas of '60s-'70s rock stars.

All of these songs are pretty damn interesting even the ones that are fantastical. Much of the content came from poems which are always problematic to understand meaning you have to have some inside knowledge. For example, "Suzy" is in two of the songs on the album. I don't think things ended well with her.

The Clash
First two albums. Depending on which country you lived in, the first two records were different and released in a different order. Not sure why, but for the sake of conversation, I do have a theory: although The Clash looked like a punk band, went through personnel like a punk, kind of sounded and acted like a punk band, they really weren't a punk band. They never self-destructed which is what every real self-respecting punk band does. Plus, lyrical content was really on a different plane.
So here are cuts from the first two albums which again were released in a different order with song variations depending on the country for some reason.

As hbilly has pointed out in posting a song from the triple album Sandinista, The Clash aren't a "punk" band. They're a "Garage Band," and a Great One at that.
A typical punk band not only self-destructs, but their music is closer to a musical ejaculation over the audience in between sneering, spitting and reminding each other how tough they all are because eventually, they'll have to walk out into the parking lot.

The Clash wasn't like that. They're musical style was in the same vein as Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holley, Sunny Curtis. That's where they were, Punk was the new hotness at the time and was just a vehicle to get them somewhere.

You have inspired me to change up what was on today's schedule!

But first, I owe you clowns an apology or two. First up, I wrote a tease about the nexus between The Clash and Blue Oyster Cult and then forgot about it. Smart!
Sandy Pearlman was the producer and sort of/kind of designer of the image of Blue Oyster Cult, plus wrote most of the lyrics on Secret Treaties, and on top of all that, he had a girlfriend named Suzy. He also produced Give 'Em Enough Rope by The Clash. Taa Daa!!!

Apology Number Two! I wrote in an above post that The Clash's cover was on Sandinista. I am incorrect. It was a single released some where in Time around when Sandinista was released. 1979 I graduated High School and had to say goodbye to the Best Girlfriend ever as she went off to a Division 1 school on Scholarship. (One hell of an athlete.) 43 years later, things are still a bit hazy!
But, I do regret the mistake.

hbilly's choice made me think of this guy!!!!! Don't know why, but it happened that way!!!!!

Steve Miller's Fly Like an Eagle. Probably his best album of the '70s. Even the B-side is good. That was always the tricky part of buying albums: what kind of craptastic music would be waiting to ambush you on the B-side? Unfortunately, there was only one way to find out! No worries here. I skipped the two shortest intro songs.
Skipped - Space Intro
1  Fly Like an Eagle
2  Wild Mountain Honey
3  Serenade
4  Dance, Dance, Dance
5  Mercury Blues - Best cover of    this song ever! Not evah, but ever!

Today, Gentlemen, you will all Eat a Peach. Tomorrow, we'll have a Mystery Guest.

The Allman Brothers Band was a band you needed to see live. I don't know how they did it, but even if you weren't a fan when you walked in, you were one by the time you walked out. It's a shame that the labels that manufactured their record discs didn't give a shit about what they were doing. Allman Brothers Band CDs were taken from terrible tape recordings. I don't know if anyone has ever taken the time to remaster those. That is a shame.

So, about that mystery guest!!! Hint: our Mystery Guest has played on both Steve Miller Band and Allman Brothers Band recordings, plus, this one more thing the Mystery Guest has with Gregg (I don't know why two 'g's; guy's middle name is Lenoir or something like that) Allman:
