Re: (TV) The Top Albums of the 1970's part three



I'm right there with you Maurice. I can't list the number of times I've
played along with Marquee Moon. I've suckled at the mother's milk of the
songs on that album ! And, while I play a pretty sloppy "Stairway to
Heaven", I play a pretty mean "See No Evil".
