   Yup, I read the same - the group, per se, did not create & record together --    
   Shirley would sing with a taped recording of another band's music, while the    
   guys played air instruments.

   I like both, depending on mood -- & it has to have quality to it -- I want    
   musicians who work well together and have asolid understanding of the    
   harmonious interplay of sound that defines "music"   
      
   I like Deep Purple, becayuse they are all classcal/symphony musicians (they    
   even wrote a symphony they performed, with the London Philharmonic Orchestra)   
      
   I liked others, like Blacjk Sabbath,. for the nice interplay of instruments,    
   but also fort the powerful & deep lyrics Ozzy wrote.   
      
   My favourite anti-war song is "War Pigs' by Black Sabbath."   
      
   I like 1970s country, too! On accuradio I can mix my favourite sub-gemnres    
   together to create one nearly perfect statio -- I can even mix in some   
   comedy,  too, for variety. . . (I love when Bob Newhart does one of his   
   talking stories, like the ad exec trying to create an "Abraham Lincoln"   
   that'll stand the test  of time, in spite of Abe's objecftions to some of the   
   silliness, like having to write his speeches on the backs of envelopes, &   
   giving him a General Grant's  detractors squelch (buy him his favourite brand   
   & ship it to him))
