It's a brilliant shot of pop energy from start to finish. More Songs About Love & Hate clocks in at #38 on my favorite 80 albums of the '80s list.

It's a new and different way to present totally new and original content about groups like the Who! If he did one about chasing Jimmy Page, that would be the first thing on Jimmy Page I have read in years (and enjoyed). <br><br>The "horse's mouth" factor with those pieces is 100% awesome---it's not another retrospective or rehashing or nostalgia piece, which is what so many of our blog/mag peers are doing at this point. It's actual new content. That I can get behind. An aside/endorsement: I adore our own Steven Rosen's “Caught on Tape” column, however.

I think I must be the only person who likes them, because everyone else seems to remember BSWD and nothing else.

Who wants more tripe about them or Zeppelin? The beauty of Lo-Fi is that we filter it with other screens than our peers at Rolling Stone or NME!

The Johnny Cash tune seems novelty...kind of like their one hit...and that's the problem w/ the Godfathers in a nutshell. That tongue-in-cheek line is a tough one to walk successfully, and most bands come off as quasi-parody acts, which can make for a good one-hit wonder, but not so much for a lasting, respected band. The streets of pop music history are littered w/ such bands... “John Barry” rocks hard…so thank you.
