<p>I have an old redneck friend in Idaho who doesn't have an ear for music at all and was content with his bassless stock stereo in his early 80's pickup that loved this album, how did that happen! No idea, but he played it a ton, but I had to get my own copy so I could hear the bass lines of course and it opened the band up to me.
