Re Gerry Rafferty - Bakers Street is one of my FAVORITE songs!
(I'm 37 - ugh)

Baker Street is the song I attribute the birth of my love of music to... and my desire from an early age to play the tenor sax. (Which I did for about 3 yrs in high school!) I turned 34 in March & looks like I was right... nobody under 35 has ever heard of him. Nobody but a die-hard music fan, or one of excellent tastes, such as yourself and I.

Baker Street

Same.

 

[indra]

most of my favorite albums are non-u2 albums..

That's true for me as well. Although it's not always been the case, now if I was to name my favorite 20 or 25 albums I doubt there would be a U2 cd in the bunch.

and then right behind that...
