Edit: “I know a girl named Denise, She makes me weak in the knees…” may be my favorite rhyme in a song ever.

With today's "No Kings" rallies beginning, I thought Woodie Guthrie's tear the fascists down protest song might be apropos ...

I've returned from a weekend road trip with my 16yo old daughter. We listened to it several times. There are some good songs. She knows how to put together a hit. Opalite, Ruin the Friendship and Honey are probably my top 3.

My one criticism is overall there just isn't much variety on the album. From a production standpoint, everything sounds pretty similar.

I don't expect other people to like everything I listen to. I know you're joking but it annoys me when people think their opinion of what others read, eat, listen to and so on should mean something to somebody else. Sure it may be crap but Sturgeon's Law insists 90% of anything is. Never found a reason to argue with that.

I would go far as to say there is no variety on the album, but it has a good beat and you can dance to it (Dick Clark's American Bandstand)
 
ok back to my youth...saw these guys in Raleigh at Dorton Arena way back in 1972. I was only a few feet from the stage and saw the great Steve Marriott tear it up on guitar and vocals.
was playing this cd while running errands earlier this morning :)

 
The past seems realer than the present to me now
I've got memories to last me
When the sky is gray
The way it is today
I remember the times when I was happy

One of my favorites from what is my favorite artist. Greatest American songwriter, bar none imo.

I wouldn't go that far but he's certainly up there with Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine and a couple more.

My vote for most underrated would probably have to go to Rodney Crowell.

Agree. Wife and daughter are borderline Swifties so I can’t avoid her. Showgirl is a great pop album and you can’t deny it. It’s addictive.

I gotta go with Smokey Robinson. He wrote or co-wrote 80 hit songs including hits for the Temptations, The Supremes, and Marvin Gaye

 
I've been reading Rickie Lee Jones' autobiography and also been checking out her music - I admit before I starting reading about her I knew very little about her - I knew her one big hit "Chuck E's in Love" and I had heard that the Steely Dan song "Rickie don't lose that number" was about her - which apparently isn't true! But so far the book is good and I've enjoyed diving into her music - she was inspired by Laura Nyro who I've also never really listened to and I've been listening to her debut album today and it's pretty dang good - incredible singer

I love me some Rickie Lee Jones and used to have her poster on my family room back in the 80s Her debut album is great but she has others that are equally good. My favorite is her concert at Red Rocks. The performance is amazing and her band is so so good !

I had the privilege to see her at the Art Center In Carrboro years ago. The venue holds maybe 200 people. At one point during her performance, she said, "You got a nice little place here. I want to come back here ."

Here's a song from her live at Red Rocks cd...
