This dumb thread kept me awake last night - had to re-read the title, says "your" top 15. I think about the albums I wore out and left off the list - Tommy, the First Led Zepplin, Rickkie Lee Jones, Laura Nyro - and there was one summer where every girl I knew or dated was listening to Neil Diamond's "Hot August Night".

Also songs that grabbed you - remember being in Brooklyn, rasied on AM radio, turning on FM for the first time and hearing Mrs. Robinson. Then listening to WNEW or WPLG hearing songs like Nantucket Sleighride, or Allman Bros, and the list goes on and on. Those of us lucky to hit the Filmore on the weekends were indeed blessed.

And this is a great thread - lets me know of things I missed or need to listen to again. The caveat is some may sound dated, picked up Richie Havens "Mixed Bag" recently and had a hard time listening to it. But some will stand the test of time. I still turn the radio up when Trowers "Bridge of Sighs" comes on.

Stand - Sly & the Family Stone
Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads (although the DVD is really where it's at...)
