Out of topic reply. Since when did you change your photo?

Oh and by the way. What about Supertramp. We have the same taste but I was disappointed when I did'nt see Supertramp ;-)

>I can't believe I forgot about CheapTrick. Robin played the Dells alot too. I think he grew up around Beloit. The problem with their songs is they stay in your head after you hear it - like 'I want you to want me'... Oh gee, now I'm going to be hearing it all day...

>>I realized after posting that I left out my favorite Poco song, "Bad Weather". It's been years since I listened to it and it still sounded great last night.

>>Buffalo Springfield were practically the ultimate springboard band, weren't they? Not only Poco but also the Eagles and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young had roots in Buffalo Springfield.

>>We listened to a lot of the same groups. There are a couple on your list I didn't care for but most of them I did. Cheap Trick is another one that started out as a bar band in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.

>>You probably saw that Boston's lead singer died a couple of weeks ago. Talk about feeling old! I remember their first record coming out right before my sophomore year in college and playing it to death the first week back at school, a.k.a. party week. By the end of the week there were a lot of Boston fans where I lived.

>>>If many don't recall Crazy night, they should at least remember Heart of the Night! They were hits. Poco was originally named Pogo and started out as Buffalo Springfield. Pure Prairie League's most famous hit was Amie. Heart of Her Own was big too. There were a lot of great bands in the 70s:

>>>BTO
>>>Kiss
>>>Boston
>>>Lynyrd Skynyrd
>>>Fleetwood Mac
>>>Foreigner
>>>Led Zeppelin
>>>Kansas (greatest instrumentals)
>>>ZZ Top
>>>Doobie Brothers
>>>Eagles
>>>Black Oak Arkansas
>>>FogHat
>>>BadFinger
>>>Styx
>>>Van Halen
>>>Queen
>>>REO Speedwagon (they used to play the Dells quite often)
>>>Blue Oyster Cult
>>>Pink Floyd
>>>GrateFul Dead
>>>Gordon Lightfoot (I had every album)
>>>(had to add Journey here - vocals were great)

>>>Now I've really aged myself! Some started in the 60s and some spread into the 80s. When I was 15 I went to an all day outdoor concert at Mile Hight Stadium that featured Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Gerard, and the Beach Boys. I saw ZZ Top in Germany on a small stage.

>>>>I don't know that Poco had any hits per se -- "You Better Think Twice" or "A Good Feelin' To Know" maybe? -- but at the height of country rock
>>>>popularity in the mid to late 1970s they were probably the first country rock band most people would have named. Great steel guitar and vocal harmonies.

>>>>>>I loved Cream back then. I also really enjoyed Pure Praire League and POCO. Timothy B Schmit got his start in POCO before he joined the Eagles to play bass (he made a habit out of replacing Randy Meisner). Update, I forgot to post that according to him, there will be another Eagles album.

>>>>>>>Let's face it, there wasn't MUCH of worth from the 80s, and especially as all the progressive bands, like Pink Floyd and Genesis turned middle-of-the-road. Clapton was no exception, and it's from that point on that I turned my back on them.
