I don't care what anybody says, 5150 is one of the great Van Halen albums. One of their best, IMO.

Body and mind should be in harmony.

Had to look up the name. You are the Woman is a great mellow song. Is the rest of that compilation as good as that song?

[Dr. Dread]

How is that, James?

Now playing...

I had not heard of them myself. Thid website www.music-map.com recommended them to me saying it's the band that most resembles Pure Prairie League, a band I've grown quite fond of.
As for the compilation, their 70s material is good but then they seem to have succumbed to that 80's sound  I think the first two or three albums may be worth checking ouy

But then, James is ill.

Whew, Trane with Monk is great, but Griffin with Monk is the best.

nah, Charlie Rouse was the best sax player w/ monk.  No "licks" in Charlie's solos - no Jazz player was better at improvising within the structure and motives of the tune

It's sick. 

The kids are really impressed by old farts who try to adopt adolescent slang.  It makes them seem so...groovy!

Far out, Catherwood. Just roll a couple of bombers and leave them on the side table.

Man, I could listen to this album all day...

[karlhenning]

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

Ah, Lorenzo's advice to Jessica!
