What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS "listen to the music:the very best of" cd,1994.

had almost forgot just how many of their songs i love till i pulled this one out and played it...
great,great 1970s Rock & Roll IMO.
this compillation covers most of their hits from the 1970s, stupid thing is though...there are two 'radio edit' versions on this one of 'long train running' and 'listen to the music', dumbass thing is, one is 6seconds longer than the standard version, the other 3seconds shorter...WTF???,really, whats the difference?, so basically i paid for a cd consisting of 19 tracks and two are simply replayed again at the end of the disc...i feel ripped off!!!!
that aside, its interesting to note that when comparing their singles chart success between US/Uk and here in Australia that they only had one top20 hit in the UK (long train running)...stupid Brits!!!!, but had way more top 10 hits here than in their own country.
pretty difficult to pick a favourite track here also,i pick one then think 'what about...', so bloody hard, but i guess i never get tired of 'black water' so 'black water' it is!
watched a few of these clips in their entirity...didnt realise how good these guys were live till then...awesome band, awesome clips IMO!!!!
