Yes. These days you're only considered an "artist" if enough teenagers would like to have sex with you. LOL

Ever heard Pink or Janet Jackson sing without an Antares (realtime pitch corrector) on their vocal feed? They can't sing in tune at all!
ya...how bout Ashley fricken Simpson?
what a joke!!

All The Young Dudes (1972) At this point David Bowie had become a megastar and decided to prove his multifaceted talents by producing other acts like Lou Reed (not coincidentally, the record kicks off with a solid cover of Reed's classic "Sweet Jane"). For Mott, the favor made all the difference. Bowie not only pushed them towards his own, energetic glam rock formula ("Momma's Little Jewel"; Allen's flakey "Soft Ground"), but added sax parts and even backup vocals to many of the recordings, and wrote the key hit song (title track). "All The Young Dudes" is not just the band's greatest moment, but arguably the most memorable hit of the whole glam-rock era, with Bowie's rebellious lyrics making it an early 70s teenage anthem. And there's yet another classic here: Ralphs' spotlight "Ready For Love," a leaden and repetitive, but catchy and uplifting rock song that became a blueprint for his later work with Bad Company (and was even re-recorded by them). Elsewhere everything is solid, almost always avoiding the self-absorbed, dissolute balladry that weakens their other records. There is one marginal orchestrated number ("Sea Diver," arranged by Ronson), but elsewhere they ride a plodding, riffy, giddy groove through one rocker after another - "Sucker," "Jerkin' Crocus," and "One Of The Boys" all rank with their best material. Get your hands on this if you have any interest in the band. (JA)

I used to love studying album covers for "hidden clues."
The (way before PhotoShop) graphics team at Hipgnosis was awesome. They did most of the great Pink Floyd covers, (like 'Animals' for example) and many many others.

Just about old enough to have the firsts for Janis, Doors, Cream, Tull, The Who, the Dead, Traffic. woo hoo, that certainly jogged this old brain.
Damn, I'm old.

Saw Ian Hunter in Milwaukee shortly after he left Mott. Halfway through Once Bitten Twice Shy his trademark shades went flying off his head and into the audience. He stopped everything and ran back stage in a panic. Took about 15 minutes before he came back out, sporting a new pair of shades, and resumed everything.

How about No One To Run With by the Allman Brothers? Kind of a theme song for me.
