I know politics is verboten on this forum, but I do advocate the politics of dancing :) :

 
Terry "Superlungs" Reid died in early August. According to rock n roll lore, Jimmy Page wanted Reid to be the vocalist for Led Zeppelin, but he was committed to open for The Rolling Stones on their tour. Instead he recommended Robert Plant for the job.
Reid and Graham Nash became close friends when Nash was still with The Hollies. In 1976 Nash produced Reid's album "Seed of Memory" just as his label, ABC, was sinking into bankruptcy. Here's a sample.

Hard to believe this song is 40 years old. Sounds as fresh as ever. From Sting's first solo album, something of a change (but not completely as some say) from his Police days. Great video from that time.

 
Spirit, the best band no one ever heard of! I saw them in the late 1960's in Mass.
They were so much more than a straight-up rock band, with jazz drummer Ed Cassidy behind the beat. Truly underappreciated.
 
Turn up the volume and enjoy the best rock and roll.
Listen to the end and thank me later.
 
No wonder I was so excited to get back from Korea and out of the Army in early 1972,this came out in March. Boy had no idea what I was missing. LOL
