Wow, you and I should get together and listen to music.

"I'm young.  I know.  But ee.  Ven so."  :-)  Horrible.  And I have your
same reaction to Michael MacCambridge?'s voice, that sings the Doobie
Brothers' "What a Fool Believes".  There's something about his voice that
sounds like it's up in his soft palate like a dog howling and makes me dive
for the channel buttons, it's worse than screeching chalk.

Sympathy is one of the few Stones songs I really _like_ hearing every time.

>Ah...as for bands I'd like to hear more of...only the Who, man!

You know, I trust, that at one time there was a button commercially
available that said "ONLY THE WHO"?

On a different topic:  Favorite Roger songs:  "Under a Raging Moon" and
"Unforgettable Opera".
