    I think the White Album is somewhat overrated - not because it didn't have great music on it but because it had a lot of tracks that were superfluous. It shouldn't have been a double album. Would we really be worse off without "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey" and "Revolution 9?"

    Agree.

    And I would add:

    Why Dont We Do It In the Road
    Helter Skelter
    Piggies

    You pointed out some examples of why I picked Abby Road despite much greatness that was on The White Album....

    Can we blame Bubba or Joe Biden for this? Got married May of 1980, stationed at Tinker AFB outside of OKC. Coming back to DFW was miserable with those temps.

    Agree with you on all of those tracks, and there are more that are subpar. It was obvious that the band was getting arrogant and George Martin's influence was at least near its low point.

    Abbey Road? Greatness.

    AC, you can't upload it here, but you can upload it to YouTube and link to it. It would be cool to hear it.

    REM was cool when I was in elementary and middle school. Then even I went into high school in 1990, they turned into *******. One of their last good ones.

    My first Post. I’m listening to Washed Out, Bag Raiders, Freddie King and Satie. Love the oldies but at my age you’ve heard them thousands of times.

    Bag raiders? Gonna have to look them up. I’m on the 60’s Sirius XM. Haven’t listened to them before - like it.

    Perhaps you know Joe Bonamassa of Nashville. Empire of the Sun, “ Sit Next To Me “ by Foster the People. “ Somebody Else “ by 1975. Tame Impala. Many by Alan Parsons. Robert Palmer throughout the years.

    This is right @AC, best to host it somewhere and link it here ... any streaming platform I think, eg, Vimeo, Streamable*

    * Upload Video Online - Free Video Hosting - Streamable
    I haven’t used Streamable myself but a friend said it was pretty good

    Paul Ray and the Cobras with 16 year old Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Soap Creek Saloon in the middle of Westlake Hills..those were the days. Freddie King and Seals and Croft at an abandoned San Antonio Drive In..or Zappa at the Armadillo.

    When the time machine is perfected, I think I'll check out 1975 Austin, Texas. (before Stevie Ray's time, but Soap Creek was really happening then, I hear...)

    The Legendary StarDust Cowboy*

    ...out of Lubbock, Texas, sings "Paralyzed"

    Quite possibly the weirdest song ever posted on this esteemed website (there's a lot of competition for that one though...)

    To my knowledge, this disturbing tune is also the only song in our Galactic history, ever, to have been effectively permanently banned from Space (by NASA).



    *more like the Angel Dust Cowboy if you ask me...

    I think this stuff was just a tad outside what the Nashville corporate country music powers-that-be considered marketable back in that era...

    ...course, so were Willy, Kinky, Waylon, Doug & Augie, Townes, J. Paycheck, Don Walser, and lots of other "weird" Texas musicians that we love...

    Sarah Shook & The Disarmers

    Probably my favorite of what can be considered "current" here in 2022. I hear shades of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Chrissy Hynde & the Pretenders, the Ramones, with some North Carolina-ish twang and indie rawness in there.

    This tune is the theme for the LHN film "1963", about the UT National Championship team - created back in 2013.

    Forgot how I discovered it. Great tune and from a good album of music. LHN still shows it from time to time

    Check it out:

    I believe that is from their first album. BTW, their second performance was at Woodstock. This album included great hits like Suite Judy Bue Eyes - a tribute to Judy Collins, Wooden Ships and Marrakesh Express. Came out when I was in elementary school.

    Great album.

    Now that I am older, all I can think of is "Get your damn feet off my couch."
