[...] Gibb. I’ve talked about this so many times (I even covered “Shadow Dancing” in a July post), so apologies if you’ve read it before, but if you’re new to this series, here’s [...]

Full agreement here. The harmonies are murder-worthy.

The Grease video is AWESOME. Man, the late 70's early 80's were awesome on TV. You got stuff like this AND the Superfriends AND School House Rock. Great times. BTW, not proud of it, but I had an Andy Gibb T-shirt. My older brothers made fun of me none stop.

Absolutely great chart this week. More love for “Baker Street” here…what a classic track and the album it's from is really terrific. It's a hi-fi sonic masterpiece, so if you're gonna buy a copy (Jason) then find the best sounding one you can find. Your stereo and ears will thank you.

All three Stealer's Wheel albums are pretty good too, as well as Rafferty's debut album “Can I Have My Money Back?” (if somewhat dated). However, Gerry seemed to spend all his quarters on one video game since nothing much after “City To City” was as good. His subsequent albums had a bright spot here and there, but nothing like the complete brilliance that is “C2C”.

Dang, you know you have a strong chart when the worst song is by the Stones.

You really don't hear similarities between “Grease” and “Shadow Dancing”?

Rafferty's “City To City” album is pretty awesome, actually and chock-a-block with that same widescreen goodness you got with “Baker Street.” “Right Down The Line”, “The Ark”, “Whatever's Written In Your Heart”… Damn it! Now I have to dig out the CD and listen to it for a couple weeks!

Finally, a friend of Murphy's Buh-weet is a friend of mine.

As long as I have to keep writing about him, I'm going to keep taking jabs at him. Although I agree with you that Andy clearly got the looks. I'm a little unnerved at the whiteness of his teeth in that clip, though.

Can you believe he didn't include “Johnny Can't Read” on his greatest hits album? I'd take that over “All She Wants to Do…” is annoy the shit out of me. Man I HATE that song!

Henley gets a pass thanks to “Johnny Can't Read,” “I Can't Stand Still” and “Sunset Grill.”
