Yes! Woo hoo! This may be one of my all-time fave classic rock albums without a top 40 hit!
Especially LOVE "The fez".
Also exceptional are:
Kid Charlemagne
Haitian divorce
Green earrings
Sign in stranger
The royal scam
But every song's a winner!

Wow, we never did this one? And I never suggested it??
This is a great one, the middle album of their "triple play" (sandwhiched by Katy Lied & Aja).
Growing up, this would have been an album I thought was bad, since the two singles I never heard of (both failing to reach the top 40).
But now, some of my very fave Steely songs are on this album!
Of course Aja is their best, but people need to look on this as a great album.

Looking back, it's hard to believe that none of these songs was a top 40 single - they're excellent! |

It's been a while since I've heard this one - I really need to get it out and give it a listen. You're right, their songs were always top-notch, and this collection was no exception. Love their stuff! |

I think this one and Countdown to Ecstasy are the last two albums of theirs we hadn't looked at. I remember you had suggested Katy Lied - another great one! 'Green Earrings' is a really good track. If I remember correctly, it ranked pretty high on your INSANE list! |
