Never much cared for the Eagles, especially from Hotel Calif to present,
REO did have one kick-ass tune, "Riding the Storm Out", and ELO was always
just too techno-syntho for my taste.

Anybody know Ian Hunter's self-titled album?  Has a cut titled "I get so
excited" which kicks butt bigtime.

Nobody has mentioned Boston, which if I recall, when I was in highschool,
was *the* band to be listening to.  I personally found it to be some of
the most insipid shit to come down the pike and pretty much the music I
think of when I think of the '70's.

Was Asia from the '70's or '80's?  I can't remember when they came out,
just remember a hell of a lot of hype for some really shitty music.
