I could argue for Black Sabbath's "Tomorrow's Dream" or Ozzy's "Crazy Train" 😄

The thunder during Last Train Home made the music more dramatic, like "Is the train going to make it though the storm?" Yes, I put in Still Life Talking as a nomination for an EPL and it has 9 votes so far. It's an album that I have to play it though, no skips. My other nostalgic moment was with The Monkees. I also watched the show when I was real young and even played thier Greatest Hits to death. Mike Nesmith was my favorite Monkee. He was a genius.

Woo hoo , love a bit of CSN , David Crosby could harmonise with anyone. On Blackfoot,a band that always goes under the radar . Doug, how long did it take to complete the recording, with a couple of storm warnings.

Good selection. Last Train to London actually has a galloping rhythm, so more horsrback than train travel😄. I hope you, and Trixie, have recovered from the storm. The alert actually sounded like a train hooting! 😆 I loved the shout out to Ricky for his QOTD work on Discord. ❤️

Great collection of tracks (pun intended). Pat Metheny is playing an electric sitar on "Last Train Home", an instrument popular in the Psychedelic era of the late 60s. That tone is just haunting in Pat's hands!
