I'm sure the league will issue a very strong statement about how furrowed their brow is at those fans.

1980. The Jam - Sound Affects
Joy Division - Closer
X - Los Angeles
The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms
Diana Ross - Diana
George Jones - I am what I Am
Wish TJ would have been bigger here. Two years of JD wasn't enough. DR and GJ to break the post punk spell. And Exene's lilting minor tone I love.

1979. Donna Summer, Bad Girls
Joy Division, Unknown Pleasures
The Slits, Cut
Supertramp, Breakfast in America
AC/DC, Highway to He'll
Tom Petty, Damn the Torpedoes
Quite the mix. Highlight was Joy Division, which I never really got into while loving 00s bands who sound like them. DS, HOT STUFF!

1978. Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
Elvis Costello - This Year's Model
Rolling Stones - Some Girls
The Cars
Captain Beefheart - Shiny Beast
Yellow Magic Orchestra
I can't quite with KB voice. Cars debut is a hit factory. Earworms for days. SG the song is gross. YMO is proto techno. Beefheart = cool.

My first 'player sighting' was Nerwinski at Shake Shack in Ladue. Good luck, Jake!

1977. Steely Dan - Aja
Television - Marquee Moon
Bob Marley - Exodus
Kraftwerk - Trans-Europe Express
Billy Joel - The Stranger
Styx - The Grand Illusion
Never been into reggae, but loved Exodus. Jamming. Joel & Styx deserve classic status. KW, nah. Marquee Moon hook is the best. And I do like Peg.

Did not love Hiebert as a wingback. Also our mids were too porous. Liked Wallem, and Nilsson looked good.

1976. David Bowie - Station to Station
Ramones - same
ABBA - Arrival
Boston - same
The Modern Lovers - same
ABBA and Boston at opposite ends of 'hit' music, but both lovable. Admire Bowie, but don't connect. Ramones so good. TML, Richman first work, very VU and Doors. Liked it. He apparently didnt.

1975. Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Parliament - Mothership Connection
Patti Smith - Horses
Brian Eno - Another Green World
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Eno bit too esoteric for easy listening. BtR is good, not consistent. Horses a classic, but needs listens. Tear the Roof off, mothersucker!

1974. Neil Young - On the Beach
Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark
King Crimson - Red
Bad Company - same
Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel
The Meters - Rejuvenation
The Meters were cool. Hated CaS. King Crimson music nerds love, but I didn't. OtB I liked. Parsons always a favorite, esp $1000 Wedding.

1973. Stevie Wonder - Innervisions
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
New York Dolls - same
Wings - Band on the Run
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
First time to NYD, loved it (Trash highlight). GYBR tons of hits, but peters out. BOTR also has some stinkers. Stevie slaps.

Episode 7 is definitely my favorite episode of tv this year. From the wonderful 'day out on San Fran' to the hilarious 'battle of wits' going on at the residence, fantastic stuf.
