I had never heard of this group until the were part of the opening act at the recent Grammy Awards. Checked then out and have purchased a couple of their albums. Good, gritty blues-rock. Check 'em out!
The Top 10 from this week in 1979, and then re-calculating a new Top 10 today based upon total lifetime streams:
New single from the Black Crowes. Good to see the brothers Robinson kicking some A together again:

Digging their music, did NOT expect that look for her or the band.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
Aerosmith announces their retirement citing Steven Tyler's vocal cord injury recovery issues.
As with any band that has had the longevity as Aerosmith I will tip my hat to them. Overall I'm not a big fan of their work but you can't count them out as one of the most influential American rock bands. While rap rock got a bad name in the late 90's/early 00's, that genre may not have happened without the collaboration of Run DMC and Aerosmith.

Someone made mention of the The Wallets on FB and it brought back so many memories of the local music scene back in the day. The Wallets, The Suburbs, Husker Du, The Replacements, Soul Asylum, Babes in Toyland, Tina & The B-sides, The Time, Prince (before he blew up), Trip Shakespeare, and surely others I've missed.
Atmosphere...

Love those guys. But if mentioned in any way related to my previous post they were not around in the 80's. 😀

Linkin Park reemerges with new lineup

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I have my own opinions about bands that continue after the passing of a band mate. Chester was the face of Linkin Park but by no means was the only person that made that train roll down the tracks. I'm not surprised that Shinoda and Hahn decided to move forward with a different iteration of LP because it was no secret they've been working on something the last seven years.

Navarro and Farrell still don’t get along.

I heard while listening to their Anthology 3 release, that Rocky Raccoon originally came from Minnesota but it was later changed to Dakota. I wonder if Paul was familiar with the Rocky and Bullwinkle show at the time of writing it. Incidentally he wrote the bulk of the song when they were on sabbatical in India, but you wouldn't pick up on that at all when listening to the song. It's obviously a very Americana/folksy sounding tune.

If Jay Ward had known this he would have demanded The Beatles sue him and insist the lyrics be changed to include Mooslvania!

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
Nobody wrote more meaningful lyrics than Kris.
