The Veils ā€¦ hhhhmmm never hoid of em !
- pleasant grandiose emo-Rā€™nā€™R.
- Iā€™m a massive aging ā€œfanboyā€ of DOLL BY DOLL !
Remember them ? Jackie Levenā€™s pre-solo grandiose emo-music Rā€™nā€™R band = great stuff (and especially the 1st & 2nd albums). the s/t 3rd has its charms ā€¦ and by the 4th the bloom was fading ! Imo, Mid 80s over-production was damaging so many great bands !

any fave trax?
  9:30pm
Erik/VermonT:

I hate to admit it ā€¦ but my pet favorite Springsteen album is ā€œTunnel of Loveā€. Funnily counter intuitive to what I just whined about above, with Doll by Doll.
I kinda liked that Bruce polished it all up for one album.
- after that, itā€™s the first 3 that do it for me.
And The River is pretty darn epic.

Hearing the lyric, 'a quarter of my life has passed' is bittersweet when you consider that many of these rockers are at the full count of that age now.

yeah too many going down for good but i think they're talking to US! Rock On
  9:46pm
Erik/VermonT:

I gotta re-listen to your Funhouse Funtime hour show on Aerosmith ! - but another album that goes counter to
my normal preference for a down & dirtier vibeā€¦ is Aerosmithā€™s ā€œDone with Mirrorsā€ 1986. I thought it was a triumphant return to their high energy badass ā€˜tongue firmly planted in cheekā€™ swagger !
Albeit, slicker production ā€¦. But that album still kicks my ass. Of course, nothing beats the 1-2 punch šŸ„Š of ā€˜Toysā€™ then ā€˜Rocksā€™ !!! Yet I recall ā€˜Mirrorsā€™ getting shorted on your show. Oh, I well realize 1 hour was too brief for a 50+ year career profile ! šŸ¤˜šŸ‘
  9:46pm
Prowler:

↳ Harry Parmenter @9:45
Indeed!

Yeah only an hour. I had high hopes for that record but it did have its moments especially MY FIST YOUR FACE. That's about the time I grokked DONE WITH MIRRORS, ROCKS, CHIP AWAY AT THE STONE...OH right!
