It covers Metro, his solo 80s output, his collaboration with Steve Winwood and his new band Nuevo. Lots of good music and talk!

My sister got it in 1973 and I inherited pretty much all of her vinyl when she grew up. That was the first K-Tel album that I listened to as well. :) Hey – I still have my copy of “I Believe in Music”!

In an old post you mentioned "Loz Netto" was the original guitarist for Sniff n The Tears. Is this the same guy who appears as the lead guitarist in the myriad of videos of "Driver's Seat"? I was just short of a teenager when Driver's Seat came out and honestly hadn't listened to this most amazing of one hit wonders in quite some time. Upon watching the videos on YouTube, I was actually far more impressed with the guitarist than I was with Paul Roberts (and of course ya gotta love a Moog playing in the background) and until I found your post I was coming up empty on the question of who that guy was in the video. I gotta say, if what you'd posted was Netto's best solo effort I can understand why I'd never heard of him before (we all have opinions and I certainly don't hold mine are any more valid than anyone else's, I just didn't particularly care for whatever the song was you posted). It is, of course, more than likely he was just a good guitarist who lucked into being the guitarist of record during Sniff's only real hit as opposed to him being a great guitarist who turned the song into a hit (it certainly wasn't Robert's looks or the video which made "Driver's Seat" so appealing). Anyway, if you could let me know if indeed Netto is the cat I'm lookin' for I'd appreciate it. I just can't tell if the guitarist on the Driver's Seat videos and Netto are one and the same solely from what I can see on the two videos. Thanks...

Way late to the party here. I had a good deal to say about the Q week, so yeah, might as well start there..Stacey Q. Love, love, LOVE her. My first exposure to her was obviously "Two of Hearts" I recall exactly where, too. Steed - coming from the same area, being the same age- perhaps you recall this one: Dancin' On Air. (the awesomely awful theme song now stuck in my head) There was a girl, a "regular" on the show, who had a solo dance routine to the song and she did some goofy shoulder move to the "i-i-i-i-i-i-need" part that has stuck with me to this day, and even now, whenever I spin the song(which is almost every set) I find myself doing it. UGH! haha. I play "Shy Girl" a lot too, and occasionally "We Connect"(which is essentially "Two of Hearts" part two) and "Insecurity" as well. I even once in awhile break out some SSQ. "Tonight(Make Love Til We Die)" from the Return of the Living Dead soundtrack in particular. That one is definitely(as always) getting played during my Halloween set later this month!<br><br>Q-Feel . "Dancing In Heaven" gets a lot of play here. I was once blessed by a popular DJ here in town who was at my gig saying "wow, you're really playing this. Nobody ever plays this. This is my wife's favorite song." I like mixing it with Peter Godwin's "Images of Heaven" Obvious reference point with the whole heaven thing, and the songs work together, oddly enough. <br><br>Queen is by far one of the best bands of all time. Their early 70s output is some of the most creative and insanely weird stuff ever put to tape. So way ahead of their time. Funny how all the early stuff boasted that "no synthesizers were used on this album" and then they went that route come the 80s, haha. There are some excellent tracks to be found on their later stuff, but as far as full albums go, it's mostly filler. <br><br>I admittedly like Quiet Riot, though I do see them for what they are - second tier hairmetal band and part time Slade cover band.
