Some solid picks for sure Pete.
I can’t get into buying all these bands like The End as there is never a commitment beyond an album so always pass but if Don was on it I would have bought it. Funny how that goes eh? haha.
With that kind of stuff, I watch the clips on youtube as I don’t stream. I’m too stuck on the classics, man.
Thanks for your lists I enjoyed reading them and spewing my verbal diarrhea!
Have a Great New Year Fella.
You too, have a great new year
