Speaking of radio playing songs to death . . .

RIP Lead Singer of the Knack Dude. He died recently. Supposedly the song 'My Sharona' was about his girlfriend, who ended up being a high-powered Beverly Hills Real Estate Broker. She's also apparently the model for the bitchy mom on '2 & 1/2 Men'. Man, 'Sharona' must've been one great fuck, eh? Kinda like Rosanna Arquette must've been (great tits) to have inspired a couple of songs. "Rosanna' by Toto and a few by Peter Gabriel ('In Your Eyes', 'Don't Give Up', a couple others).

Yes
Genesis
King Crimson
Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP)

Manassas (get their 1st album - PURE genius)
Neil Young's best solo work was from '70-'79
Since you mentioned The Who (who debuted in '64) then check out The Kinks albums from the '70's - again, pure genius!
The Grateful Dead's best (studio) work came in the '70's
Foreigner
REO Speedwagon (fine albums but STOP at '79)
