Starz - Attention Shoppers!

Yes!

Didn't I just mention goosebumps? Benny Goodman and Gershwin got nothing on Johnny All Alone when it comes to goosebumps...raises the hair on the back of my neck just thinking about it...one of the best song opening set of chords I've ever experienced live.....right up there with Supertramp School harmonica....or Rush Bastille Day guitar

Saw on Wiki that Violation was supposedly the favorite album of Starz fans....so I listened to the whole thing for first time in years...I'd never really liked it much and always thought Attention Shoppers was far better...but, I gave Violation an honest listen today....and it sorta sucks....at least next to Attention Shoppers. I'm sure some of it is my own personal nostalgic bias, but, I don't think there's any comparison...and the wiki characterization about Violation being metal-er or harder or whatever it said...and A.S. being more mainstream or pop-rock-ish is pure rubbish. 3rd Time's a Charm is a bit weak, but the rest of A.S. is very solid 70's rock and roll.

Yeah, Violation was them trying to crack AOR...70's style...before Cheap Trick. They were competing with Frampton, Boston, KISS, Steely Dan, Aerosmith, ZZ Top and the Doobie Brothers...kinda stuff you'd think they'd be able to grab attention with. As it stands...they really never garnered the fame they deserved. They put out solid records, toured extensively on them and gave fans a great show. I saw them twice and like them even more after seeing them live.

Their self titled album kicks ass too.

Over and Over, Night Crawler, Fallen Angel and Pull The Plug...all rockin tunes!

his rhapsody in blue opening still gives me goosebumps after so many years....and despite the numbing from cartoon overuse

Well, I didn't send YOU a White Owl Grape, so maybe you have a point there, frank.

Sadly, only saw Stevie once too. I was at this show and if this wasn't the loudest damn concert I ever went to, then it would be a close second. Beck, Bogert and Appice would be the other show that left my ears ringing for days.
