Those Bon albums are so fffing great. For many years I totally shelved the music of my teen years, now I am having a total relapse of all that stuff, the more energetic the better. Bon and Benatar especially, just can't get enough. Just re-ordered the first two Patricia albums on CD....haven't had those titles since the vinyl/cassette era. It's great fun but its also therapy. I'm working so much now that I physically need asskicking music to keep me going, wake me up in the morning etc. Babes and Katastrophy Wife are morning commute wake-up favorites, along with the first two Rush albums and assorted thrash metal titles.

I do love my morning commute albums... almost as much as the squealing tire afternoon 'get home to Raff as quickly as you can' afternoon commute albums
not too early I suppose to post my favorite song of the day... I am victim to to one of those strange things that happen to us occasionally. I woke up, hell I was only half awake when I started singing this song, and it still hasn't left me. I'm digging Lucio Battisti, but still singing this song in my head.
Don't ask me why.. perhaps it is the shear beauty of it. Why it was in my head? Who knows? Perhaps this was music that I heard in the womb.. and as a child.. and it never totally left me. More than any music, Motown and its artists are probably the skeleton of my musical body.

We really are on the same wavelength these days it seems, must be a reaction to stressful work and midlife crisis??? I'm also digging many of those early 70s contemporary pop songs that most people would bristle at....like the one you posted there.....even things like Croce....I'll listen to the freakin Carpenters while working and a song like Superstar or Close to You just calms me a bit. Weird. Anyway, off to work again. Never ends...at least until the coronary hits me.

well said my friend It never left me I suppose. Prog for me has only been one of the many types of music I enjoy, but that stuff... is more than love. It is I suppose part of who I am. Both of my parents were musical nuts and music was on 24/7. My dad was more into the psych and prog stuff as well as a huge country (especially Willie and Waylon fan) but I think I got my more eclectic tastes from my mom who was always more into pop as well as classical. Of course the pop of the times being not the drivel we have today but timeless classic stuff, like Motown or the Carpenders, Croce, and yes ... Patricia

It takes a lot of skill and talent to write a good pop song, in spite of what the snobs (prog or otherwise) may think. Personally, I'll take good pop over mediocre prog any day. Unfortunately, nowadays most pop music is just plain bad, and you can feel how artificial it is right from the first couple of notes.
