RJ,
I know you are kidding about the two Stewarts,lol!
It is a great song though, and nice call on Stevie Nicks on the backing vocals.
Honestly, I never thought to associate the guitar work with Lindsey Buckingham, but I think you are onto something there.
I can't tell you that line is not brilliant, because it IS!
The Power Of Gold by Dan Fogelberg & Tim Weissberg got some FM airplay here in NYC, I even thought it might be an AM hit.
But hidden gems are always fun to come by.
That may have been the first time I ever played Spandau Ballet on the show.
I knew the song and it fit,maybe someday I'll play the OTHER one, lol!
Thanks for the approval of Goldfinger & the Hollies- I was going for greed and those popped up in the old brain.
Hey Jon, I LOVE the Hollies!
Same to Scott for Seger, lol!
Thanks as always for the listen and the interesting feedback,
Mike
Another fine money episode.
Love the song Gold by John Stewart (same guy from The Daily Show?). I have no idea how to punctuate that sentence I just wrote. Stevie Nicks is obvious on backing vocals, but that guitar work sounds suspiciously like Mr. Buckingham. I have no idea who it actually is. This sounds like a Fleetwood Mac song. And tell me this line is not brilliant, "California girls are the greatest in the world/ Each one a song in the making".
The true hidden gem for this show, to me, would be The Power Of Gold by the "Bergs". I'm not familiar with it, but it's very good.
The song Gold by Spandau Ballet was their second hit, if I remember correctly. These guys were a 2 hit wonder of the 80s.
Now, the next two choices are what separates the Pell's from the Hogs. Goldfinger and King Midas In Reverse. I would have never thought to include those two songs, but you did. Those were brilliant choices, in my humble opinion. And hey, somebody other than Jon has to know something about The Hollies around here.
Also, it's always good to here a Seger tune, although the song here isn't one of my favorites. I bet Scott likes it as he is a definite Seger fan.
