Bill - If we are going to play underheard bands from that era - please, please, please play some more Big Star. |

The Power Pop guitars is what I'm after here. I just love them! |

That was really fun. That echoy wailing guitar really caught my ear!

Are you kiddin' me?!
I remember the early days of KROQ (the AM -only ones, no less) when the Rodney on the Roq was a dj and said, 'If there's one band you've GOT to go see, its the Flaming Groovies'. So two nights later we went to the Roxy (or maybe the Whiskey) and, well, there they were. Still haven't forgiven Rodney, and until tonight had managed to never hear the FGs again.
Thanks for the flashback Bill (I think)

I am pleasantly surprised to hear this here. Great song. I was just listening to their CD "Teenage Head" a few days ago.

For a second there I thought I was going to look at the playlist and see it was The Wonders.

What a great name for a band. Saw them open for Albert King and the Chambers Brothers at Winterland.

What did I tell Rebecca I'd do if she added Shake Some Action?  post-research edit: I said I'd wash her car.  |
