Our 1970 top 10s in & out of PA (share & comment

This one could definitely be on my list too.

I've wondered before if two Davids from Copenhagen come into contact, will the Davids be annihilated much like matter and anti-matter? It's only if both are vikings as the vikings had a talent for getting annihilated on mead and mead before wrecking the town.

Incidentally, I'm Scandinavian enough to complain when I go to Ikea here in Vancouver that the staff can't speak Swedish. Tacks for nothing.

I like all of the Guldbamsen David from Demamrk's list, but not in my top 20, Funkadelic's is the one I;d most like to play right now. And I very much like Parliament's Osmium form that year.

I don't think I've ever heard that beggar's Opera, barely listened to BJH, and definitely don't know that Moodies album. Beggar's Opera: Their first 3 albums are among early 70's UK prog's best kept secrets... hugely enjoyable stuff. BJH: Their debut and by their own standards, sub-par tbh. I think they'd be too MOR for you personally, but I've loved them since a teen. Moody Blues: I'm shocked, horrified and appalled quite frankly. Call your self an Admin?

I was chosen because all the good candidates were unavailable, of course. Beggar's can be Opera's, but not Choosers apparently. I only know the 60s The Moody Blues albums plus Seventh Sojourn well.
