Songs you forgot about, but recently heard

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

So very good, but sadly underrated.

Two early BTO tunes are jazz influenced compositions...

It's been a while.
One of their best all time.

Very cool pics too...

This tune was on Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies album, which came out in1973...the same year I graduated from HS.
I didn't forget about it, but I probably haven't heard it for at least 25 or 30 yrs. It's a good one.
The lyrics are solid, and somewhat prophetic...and the guitar riffs are great.







Please clean your plate dear
The Lord above can see ya
Don't you know people are starving in Korea?
Alcohol and razor blades, and poison and needles
Kindergarten people, they used 'em, they need 'em
The over indulgent machines were their children
There wasn't a way down on Earth here to cool 'em
'Cause they look just like humans, at Kresge's and Woolworth's
But decadent brains were at work to destroy
Brats in battalions were ruling the streets
Sayin' generation landslide closed the gap between them

And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
La, la, da, da, da


Militant mothers hiding in the basement
Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets
Molotov milk bottles, heaved from pink high chairs
While Mothers' Lib burned birth certificate papers
And dad gets his allowance from his sonny the dealer
Who's pubic to the world but involved in high finance
Sister's out till 5, doing bankers' son's hours
But she owns a Maserati that's a gift from his father
Stop at full speed, at 100 miles per hour
The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em


But I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
La, la, da, da da, yeah-ho

73 hs grad too.. One of his best... didn't hear on the radio much even at the time.

It is but it's on regular rotation on any classic rock station.

Love both of them. Very similar in style. I hear Blue Collar now and then but I also just heard Looking Out for Number One for the first time in forever the other day.

Right on.

* Because back then most stations usually went with "No More Mr. Nice Guy", "Hello Hooray"...or the title track.

It is but it's on regular rotation on any classic rock station.

Of which I don't bother listening to on a regular basis these days. Haven't for a while.
Once every now & again I'll log on to an online streaming service though.
