    That is all.

    I used to feel this way. Then I got with the superior culture program.

    You guys remember Sharon, the woman I told you about who was kind of a mother figure to me in my late teens and early 20s? (She died in 2018).

    I used to spend a lot of time at her house with her and/or her daughter Vikki. So one day I'm over there, and I told Sharon how I had just bought the new Fleetwood Mac CD. And she said "Oh come on Derek, I've taught you better than that." I asked what she meant. She shook her head and said, "black people don't get Fleetwood Mac. Tt doesn't compute. We don't know what the hell they're trying to do. Same goes for Bob Seger."

    (I should add that she was black).

    So anyway, every time I see a reference to Fleetwood Mac or hear one of their songs, I chuckle.

    And I do have 4-5 songs of theirs loaded onto my iPod.

    It doesn't get any whiter than Fleetwood Mac.

    These are worthy candidates for consideration in 1977.







    Low and Heroes have some interesting tracks but to me just aren't peak Bowie. Yes, he was cutting edge with Eno in Berlin but I'm definitely more glam Bowie or Plastic Soul Bowie.

    Television is a great fucking record. It's top 10 for me that year, but I intentionally leave out stuff that I think might be too niche for this space.
    Agreed & agreed!

    Glam Bowie is definitely my favorite, followed by the Major Tom saga. Ashes to Ashes has to be one of the best videos from that era, though one of the creepiest. I like Low best of the Trilogy because of the Kraftwerk influence.

    Kevin (Big Time) introduced me to Television & Wire way back in the day. Definitely love the dual guitar playing. When I first heard Obstacle 1 by Interpol, I thought where have I heard that guitar riff before? They lifted it off of Marquee Moon.
    Good chit!

    I may or may not know, but if I do it is from my days as a serial lurker here...not being a member of “The Golden Circle”, I could be missing the context, and probably am...ewiwbi
