• I thought for sure The Millennium was a shoo-in for best thing I listened to today. But then I found myself harmonizing to every song on The Temptations' Greatest Hits. NRBQ "At Yankee Stadium" will always be the best thing anyone listens to on any day, until you listen to "Get Happy!!."

The Temptations, NRBQ, and Get Happy are an awesome trifecta. I saw The Wild Bunch posted on Kingston Roots, but haven’t gotten to it yet.
Best thing I heard yesterday was Van’s No Guru, No Method, No Teacher (1986). It’s not highly revered by critics, but “A Town Called Paradise” is one of my top 5 VM songs. First time I saw Van was when he toured this album.

The Temptations, NRBQ, and Get Happy. Glad to see NRBQ on top, but it had to be a tough decision after I Can't Stand Up For falling Down, Black and White World, Motel Matches and Human Touch.
