What band not known for its use of backing vocals makes the best use of them in the rare times backing vocals are employed?

Certainly you’ve had an experience hearing a song that you pooh-poohed when it was a hit to realize, years later, it wasn’t all that bad. Please share an example and, if possible, what you realized was actually good about that song.

What was your first car, and what car song best represents said wheels?

What’s your favorite Ron Wood moment?

Which artist not known as a producer but having done some outside production work would you most like to have heard produce other artists more often? In other words, as an example, Ray Davies produced The Turtles Soup but little if anything else for outside bands. Someone might wish he’d produced more bands. Who’s that person for you?

Musicians of any stripe, is there an artist whose music you learned to appreciate only after having learned to play it?

Which artist do you think you might truly dig if only you could get your head around around the genre in which said artist works? For instance, I think I’d be a big Steve Earle fan if only I could fully embrace country music, including country rock.

I look forward to your responses.

An album cover that would not have been possible…

Townsman Al posed the following question that I think is worthy of each of us taking a break or two in this busy day and allowing for some hypothetical discussion. Dig:

Let’s look at it a different way (and Mr. Mod, this may stray from this thread so feel free to move it elsewhere), would the Beatles be what they are today (and I don’t know that we need to or I want to define precisely what that is) if they started with Sgt. Pepper? I don’ think so.

Before you say, “Well that’s a hypothetical question I don’t think any of us are fit to answer!” Give it some thought. Then comment. Here.

I look forward to your responses.
