BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE "bto's greatest" cd,1986.
got this one very recently on the strength of their two singles "you aint seen nothin yet" and "takin care of business", would have thought there was a lot more fuel in the tank of these guys after knowing those two tracks...but alas, the tank is only half-full(or is that half empty- i never can tell!)
a lot of average rock/radio friendly tracks here, nothing really outstanding bar two tracks, but i have discovered a great track here in "can we all come together" which is my new favourite one by BTO...
i think Music Head was right to a degree with his "were big,in canada,on saturdays,after lunch" comment the other week ...just an average band,average talent,playing to their limitations(Huey Lewis springs to mind as another average artist who plays to his limitations IMO)...
all up though, not a bad album,listenable,good driving music, but as i said, very little in the tank!
