A new one on me. I really like it. Very Byrds-ish!
I hadn't thought of it that way, but, yeah, I hear some Byrd's influence there. I'm particularly impressed by the guitar player in this band, and his musicality--always plays something that sounds right.

I bought the album Electric Comic Book (somewhere) when I was 13, and unlike a lot of music I listened to at that formative age, this one has stuck around. Actually, One by One is from their other worthy to have album: Psychedelic Lollipop, which I didn't discover until many years later.

by the Subway band.

This was one of the catchiest little jingles I'd heard in a long time. I was kinda sorry to see them go away.

I don't think anyone had been posted it yet.

On thing of which I'm sure: That song'lll be in my head the rest of the day. :rolleyes:
The band known then only as Dawn came to our small central Iowa town, probably in 1971, to play at the Community Center (where all the bands, e.g., the Rumbles played). Tony Orlando (I didn't know his name then) had a big fro. The people at the downtown music store thought they were pretty full of themselves--New York band coming to small town Iowa.

Thanks to Prince's creative spelling these two belong here:



(The title is actually I Would Die 4 U.)



It is a Minnesota state law that all music lists must include Prince*.


*and Bob Dylan

"The Dukes of Stratosphear were an English rock band formed in 1984 by Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding, Dave Gregory, and Ian Gregory. Modeled after psychedelic pop groups from the 1960s, the Dukes were initially publicised by Virgin Records as a mysterious new act, but were actually an XTC spin-off band."
Somewhere in my collection I have their album 25 O'Clock.
