I used to see these dudes dj constantly and that album was constantly played at house parties… very nostalgic.

@Doggatron the highly recommended one for you is this - Jerry Garcia band - After Midnight: Kean College, 2/28/80
The after midnight into Elenor rigby back into after midnight will blow your socks off.

Great pick…I first listened to this purely because it was Robert Plant…wasn’t expecting much to be honest…but was pleasantly surprised by how good it is. :slight_smile:

I panicked for a sec, thought it was that band Metro Station.

I was dreading this one… a couple of these I had to really reach to just find more than one album. I don’t have a lot of love for most music released after the year 2000.

I swear by the fact that music in the early 00’s was just as good as the 90’s.

Pretty much a 90’s hangover.

Mid to late 00’s was an absolute sh*tssandwich for music.
