Turns out it was by the band Hawks, on "Perfect World Radio," their Not Lame collection of demos and rarities. What I don't know, however, is who's covering who.

And I agree with Jeff -- surprising they charted so low... No easy task picking the worst track this week. I don't envy you that job.

This is my favorite place on the web. I seen to remember the bottom 60 of the eighties more than the top 40. Because of your post, I finally can prove to friends that these song exist and are not figments of my imagination. Thanks again. Bless you sir! This is my favorite place on the web.

God forbid we taped over one of those suckers... Oh, and also we got our first, huge, monstrous VCR in 1978 so my dad could record Crystal Gayle performances from the Muppet Show and the like.

He also loved Linda Ronstadt, who similarly had great songs by great songwriters at her disposal. Good solid pop music, well played and well produced, with a country tilt. T'aint no shame in it...

Gamma's first album (yes, Gamma 1) was one of the most played records in my circle of stoner buddies in 1980. Junior year of high school. That's right - HIGH school.<br>Now I have kids, I haven't smoked the weedus in over 15 years, and I'll be damned if it wasn't fun to hear that again. Sounds a bit cheesy and dated now, but so do I.
