Always think of Eminem as a Michigander
I think he would take out Madonna

Has kenny G sold more than Nirvana?

Surprising that Ohio's highest selling act is a country act, for sure would have thought a rock n roller would have held that title

So over on BlueSky one of the current Music Challenges is cover songs regarding family for which I'm sort of drawing a blank except for the very obvious ones… So how about someone doing a cover of say Kacey Musgraves's "Merry Go 'Round" or "Family Is Family" and The Decemberists "Sons and Daughters".  Well even among those doing covers of those on  The YouTube, it's a steady stream of singer and acoustic guitar renditions.  Seems like any of these could work with some Jangling Rickenbacker and some fuzz, but what do I know…

I did come across this fun cover of "Squeeze Box" done by Toots and the Maytals from an album which appears to have vanished called "Out here in the Fields" Legends of Reggae Celebrate The Who

https://youtu.be/n-pxjNVsSFw

and then there is the Taj Mahal / Keb Mo where "Squeeze Box" gets the Zydeco treatment.  https://youtu.be/V8fxMHhrCdk

Toots is the man. Ain’t nothing he couldn’t make soulful and funky.

Hmmph. Both Phish and the Eagles made the cut.

welp I just did something I have done since 2010 which to login into Last.fm, seeing as Qobuz kindly doesn't track each and everything I listen to. going to be handy for proving i did in fact spend all next year not secretly listening to Charli XCX, etc and being able to further embarrass myself with one of those nifty weekly 5x5 listening grids.

looking at my profile it's a total trip down memory lane with a rogues gallery of formerly active forum members

It's not the Beatles without Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe
