The songs from Long John Silver do sound better performed live. And I do like Aerie, i'll give you that.

The Airplane/Etc... released so much music in a short space of time that I think it finally caught up with them and they spread themselves too thin. They were probably also saving their best stuff for their own projects.

Even forgetting just their 60s stuff, from 70-74 they released Mexico/Saucers single, Blows Against the Empire, Sunfighter, Bark, LJS, Manhole, Baron Von Tollbooth, Dragonfly, 30 secs over Winterland, Early Flight, plus whatever Hot Tuna were up to.

That's confirmed in Grace Slick's autobiography. She basically says Long John Silver was a contractual obligation situation. Right before Long John Silver, Paul and Grace had made the excellent Sunfighter release and the same year as Long John Silver, Hot Tuna released what is probably their best album, Burgers.

Chuck Berry -- "My Ding-A-Ling"

OK, it's not a good song, but when I saw Chuck in concert a few months ago it certainly was one of the highlights of the show!

I love My-Ding-A-Ling!

It was funny when I was a kid, but to me it's still not offesnsive. I think it's only bad compared to his stuff from 55-65.

These Days by Nico. Yeah yeah, she didn't write it, but still. Jackson Browne is a wanker.
