Maybe, but I'm not a fan. GS> I used to own two of their albums. They've been gone so long I can't GS> recall the titles. But one had a wonderful song on it called "A Plague GS> of Lighthouse Keepers." The other had a black cover and featured a GS> song titled "Scorched Earth." GS> They were, I guess, my 2 favorite VDGG songs. I've heard the albums that everyone recommends, but the only one that I could stand was _H To He Who Am The Only One_. I do keep trying out their albums, but I just can't get into them. I dunno. -------------------------------------------------------------- - Clark Ray - - email: clarkray@psnw.com - -------------------------------------------------------------- ...

FWIW, the _200 KN> Mohels_ 8 track set me back a used copy of the first Chicago, KN> _Chicago Transit Authority_ (which is an KN> excellent album btw which I thoroughly recommend to everyone as a KN> kind of cross between Soft Machine, KN> Colosseum, Gentle Giant, If, and a few others, though with an KN> American accent), on 8 track, CS> Awesome album! Such diversity and progressiveness. For those of you CS> familiar CS> with the hits from this 1969 classic ("Does Anybody Really Know What CS> Time It Is?", "Beginnings", and "Questions 67 & 68"), this album also CS> features a most excellent cover of Traffic's "I'm A Man", with Terry CS> Kath, Peter Cetera, _and_ CS> Robert Lamm doing the lead vocals, alternating verses. Lamm's CS> performance on B-3 rivals that of Winwood on the original... It gets more radio play than the original too, which is pretty cool, 'cause it's got that cool instrumental middle section. _CTA_ is quite a good album, alright. My favorites are, besides the hits, "South California Purples," "Listen," and "Poem 58." Many of Chicago's songs were cut-up horribly for single release. You get to hear the whole songs on this album. Speaking of Chicago, any word of any remastered CDs coming out for them? I bought _Chicago II_ about 5 or so years ago on CD and the sound is quite bad.
