very cool, rob. i think someone should tell "righteous" that's it ok to go and buy the cd - i mean, people still do that nowadays, right? (as you know, rob, i still do!)

Great job, Rob!
Coming back to Me is an excellent choice for the rainy day mix.
It is also interesting to note how many AoTMers select The Beatles as their fave band.
PS -- Gosh, I think Billy Don't Be a Hero is one of the first songs I ever heard, too (shudder!)

Excellent mix, Rob. I really love that Hollies track and the rest of it is great, as well.

Some great choices. The Bo Donaldson was ubiquitous, wasn't it? Nice Ronettes choice and Thunders, too...

Not only was the Bo Donaldson song ubiquitous, but it was the first single that the three-year-old me purchased... ;-) Thanks, all.

How the hell do I keep missing these mixes? I am 100% with you on "Golden Boy". That song makes me absolutely giddy. And I'm always behind the 'Mats.

Very, very nice, Rob. I'd forgotten all about that Mickey Dolenz song. Solid picks all around!

Rob - you're embarrassed to admit you like the Dead?!?! Our # 7 band coincides. Looking forward to the naked Let It Be?

Steve: Yes, based upon the last 20 years of their career (1975-1995) (with the possible exception of '77), I'm embarrassed to admit how much I absolutely love the all the stuff through Mars Hotel.
