"When I was a kid, my father used to say ... "

I'm SO feeling some "Eroica" right now!!!

For you Wendy & Lisa folks, what are your favorite moments off this-here record? I think this is the girls' masterpiece -- there really isn't a weak song among the lot. But here are the "rewind it!" moments for me:

1) The Sly Stone "Skin I'm In" on "Crack in the Pavement."

2) The very beginning of "Don't Try to Tell Me."

3) The guitar breakdown nin "Porch Swing."

4) The "smooved-out" vamp on "Turn Me Inside Out"

5) The guitar trickery on "Crack..." and "Rainbow Lake."

6) Gosh, the first line of "Staring at the Sun" is just KILLER!!!

I hear you. I've always loved the whole album. The "Arabian passage" of Mother of Pearl is soooo sweet....


sigh You think Lisa would marry me?

I think my fave Eroica tracks are probably the B-sides. "Stones and Birth" and "Balance" both do me in, each for very different reasons.

But other than the first two tracks (which I usually skip) it's all good.
