@Amos Otis -- Sure do love some pre-Sat. Night Fever BeeGees: Massachusetts, I Started A Joke, Gotta Get A message To You, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?... and on and on. Guy's definitely underrated.

Here's some pre-Steely Dan Elliott Randall - One of the weirdest, most unknown, yet great records!

Agree 100%. When Barry discovered his falsetto I got off the bus and never looked back. Then around '97 they did a couple of tv concerts that were really good even though I couldn't fast forward through the disco hits - but I can now! Their new stuff, at that time, was very good, like the Maurice tune previously posted. Lots of acts that I dismissed w/o even a sniff during my exclusive heavy metal years - gotta keep up the image, ya know - turned out to be damm good once I gave 'em a chance. Like these Tejano titans.

Very nice.
I'm betting you're already a Narcisco Martinez fan...

No, but I hear why I should be. I've been exploring so many diverse avenues that for many I've barely got my ankles wet. Which is wonderful. Hearing / watching something for the first time and being knocked out by it happens weekly, it seems. I'll sit down to trim buds or sort seeds and click on a YouTube suggested mix based on my likes and views, and find myself getting up every few minutes to 'favorite' a tune to go back to. Which is, you know....pretty cool.

Of course, some of the classics never get old either. I'll still argue that the sound of Brad Whitford's guitar blew more car speakers than any other 2nd guitarist.

That endless YouTube algorithm presents some gems for sure.
Whitford has flown under my radar to be honest. Will do some digging... ⛏️?

Lead guitarists got most all the attention, but the sound quality of Whitford's B. C. Rich guitar - crisp and sizzlin' - drive that Get Your Wings lp especially. Most of it has the 2 guitars separated into the left and right channels, so once you identify him - easiest when he's under Mr Perry's leads and fills - you've got it made. 'Train Kept a Rolling' makes it easy. Have fun !
