Those numbers pale to bannork's when I first got on this thread, July 25, 2017. But I believe those were the days before he became a farmhand. Memories! My first post in Blasts From The Past. And I was so hansum back then, too.

Steamhammer with Junior's Wailing off of their '69 self-titled debut album.

To put it another way, if you want a lot of leisure time to listen to music don't become a farmer. - old Isaan proverb

The problem is that some people post too much. Just don't ask me to point fingers.

I do not agree,by listening only to your favourites you are doing yourself short. Listen to the music you don't know and you will find new favourites,at least that is how it works for me. I agree with both of you. There's no wrong answer to an issue that hasn't a wrong answer, only preferences. My preference, though, is aligned with jvs. I'll check out the unfamiliar before I click on the much heard, though much loved, favourite. It's the thrill of possibly discovering a new favourite to add to the long, long list of favourites. Anyone else getting tired of looking at the wife? Just kidding!!!

My all time fave from the Smiths . . . How Soon Is Now, their '85 non-album single. As with all great tunes, the full or extended versions only! Excellent lyrics, too. I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir of nothing in particular . . . .

Morrissey with the title track of his '88 Everyday Is Like Sunday EP.

That's quite a list . . . for 80's fans. In this case, for late 70's fans . . . Public Image Ltd with Public Image off of their '78 Public Image: First Issue debut LP.

All The Way From Memphis off of their '73 Mott LP, set to an old 20's Felix The Cat cartoon.
