Graham Central Station- Earthquake

I just pulled out the Graham Central Station Anthology and I'm listening 2 it right now. It's very unbelieveable how Larry worked his bass strings 2 make an effect that sounds like a real earthquake. It really rocks, but I wish I could have seen him in concert back in '77, because I would like 2 see how he did it. How do you feel about it?

Ain't No Bout A Doubt It is their greatest album, IMHO. I have already worn out one copy of that album. Your Love, The Jam (their greatest song),Ole Smokey, Water, and Luckiest People were the jams.

Unquestionally "Hair" is the 'all-time' funkiest GCS song!

I never heard the 1979 album, Star Walk before, but I heard that song "Foxy Lady" from the 2-CD anthology and the song sounds horrible to me. Even the title track, "Star Walk" sounded miserable. That's why I skip these tracks over to One In A Million.
