    Hall & Oates - Abandoned Luncheonette

    I'd heard the same about John being an introvert. Some guys just don't like being in the spotlight all that much.

    Hall & Oates - Abandoned Luncheonette

    It only took me 4½ years since the start of this thread to finally secure a NM/VG+ (vinyl/jacket) copy of the MFSL reissue. Haven't played it yet, but I will soon enough.

    favorite female singer of all time

    When I chose Sarah McLachlan in an earlier post I did so not purely because of her voice, but also for her incredible writing talent.

    ROCK Music Albums that had a Significant Impact in your Youth | Including some that you know are ..

    Although I was already very much into music and started buying vinyl in 1967, it wasn't until I heard DSOTM on tape in 1973/4 that my eyes and ears opened to a world I had never before experienced.

    Dido: No Angel and Life For Rent
