A friend of mine gave me a few records, one of them was legend. Some real lush yacht rock on there. It seems like maybe this was their last gasp as far as being commercially relevant? It's definitely one of those albums that if it was released by an unknown group, and dug up from total obscurity for a reissue, it would get some crazy props.

Probably the worst thing about this band is the fact that they're named "poco"

Originally, the new group was named "Pogo", after the Pogo comic strip character, but was changed when its creator, Walt Kelly, objected and threatened to sue.

The only song that came to mind when I opened this thread was "Crazy Love," which is, of course, one for the ages.

I did not know this until today: the cover art for Legend was by . . . Phil Hartman.

The Buffalo Springfield Alumnae Hierarchy Protocol indicates that listening to the following is a prerequisite before listening to a single Poco album:

- all three Springfield albums (the debut in MONO ONLY)
- Crosby Stills and Nash and Deja Vu OR two albums by Steven Stills/Manassas
- a minimum of three Neil Young solo albums (1968 to 1979; Journey Through the Past LP OR movie counts as one album only, Decade as two)

Note that the Bruce Palmer solo record CANNOT substitute for any of the above! Listening to Souther Hillman Furay before Poco is immediate disqualification.

Stephen Stills, my God! Who am I to make the rules?!?
