Am I the only person who thinks Big Star's "Radio City" is completely overrated?

Yeah, my guitar teacher (who had never heard "O My Soul" before I played it for him) described it as a "Strat master class."

lol Footloose is so similar. Sounds like something a guitarist does to warm up his fingers tbh.

Every time I hear twang my default ref is Duane Eddy.

one time I read the book "Heaven is Real" for funsies which is not very fun and kind of distressing however at the end of the book there is a picture of the man a toddler recognized as Jesus

I was pretty old before I realized that Loggins had a long and storied career before his '80s run, both with Messina and without. "Keep the Fire" is totally sophisticated yacht rock with a track that features Michael Jackson on backing vocals.

Electric Prunes bassist Mark Tulin, on their 1968 touring guitarist:

The one positive aspect of the tour was playing with Kenny Loggins. I know where he's at now, but at that time he was a hard-core rocker and a pure joy to watch play. He went full-bore, full-out every night. Then back at the hotel he'd play some great song he'd just written. He was one talented son of a bitch.

Oh! Is this the thread from which sprung “terrifyingly consistent” and it referred to Jody’s drumming? I’m so happy
