Deep Purple got passed over also. I suppose it's a never ending deal - we all have in mind who we think should be in there. I only know a little bit about Kraftwork. Not my cup of tea, really. So I can't speak to their worth.

That's it - I meant they were critically panned, but had and still do have, a large following. I'd say one of the reasons they got in this year is do their high profile over the past few years.

Plus longevity, record sales, etc. I believe they are what use to be called a "people's band". You either get it, or you don't. It may also have something to do with age. I'm an old man, so I like Rush. Of course, I did when I was a young man also. I'm not a rap fan, but the song Public Enemy did with Anthrax is cool - Bring The Noise.

This is a good start.

2012 Christmas Special preview page I recently finished the Tom Baker era. Now I am up to the second episode of the Peter Davison era. (Although I have recently stopped - so I can watch The Prisoner. Which I seem to watch once or twice a year.)

Today is the day the inductees for 2013 are going to be the announced. So far - I have read that Public Enemy and Donna Summer are on the list.

Speaking of concert footage, I was watching the Copenhagen (1972) film the other day on Youtube.

I guess Bruce, Laday GaGa, and The Black Keys are the next guests. I get the first one, the other two I don't. But - Mick has always stayed current.

Just for the heck of it - Dick's Picks Volume 11 (Stanley Theater in Jersey City on September 27, 1972). They opened the show with Morning Dew.

That's right. I think I learned the most about if from that Faces book. I can't recall if there is a lot of talk about it in Dave Marsh's Who book (Hope I Die Before I Get Old).

It's pretty weird to watch Letterman and the band sitting around talking about blues musicians.

I don't think I've ever seen such a thing as this before: $1,000

I can't say I am very fond of the Ogden's narration parts. But - there are some great songs on that album. Song of A Baker, for example. One of Ronnie's Meher Baba inspired songs, I think.

I've had that on my Amazon list for years. I wonder about that also. Ogden's Nut Flake Gone (3 cd boxset version) (Snapper Music Group) Ogden's Nut Flake Gone (3 cd boxset version) (Sanctuary UK)

I have the Fuel 2000 release. The cd sounds like it was mastered off a cassette being playing across the room. I think there was a 3 disc version put out this year. Maybe it is the one to get.

It's funky sounding. He recorded the basic track by himself in the back yard of his house. Well, by himself with his dogs. The only Small Faces albums (cds) I have are Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake and a "best of". Both of them don't sound that great. One of these days I hope to get them all - once I find releases that do not sound crappy. My favorite Small Faces song is The Autumn Stone.

And Robert singing while sitting in a wheelchair.

And if you believe the stories - he did a lot of those guitar overdubs in a short amount of time.

I just saw this on Expecting Rain (from Isis):

The only LZ album that one could find in the cut-out bins. It has such a cold sterile sound - which is one of the reason people did not go for it as much as the other albums.

The song is called The Universal.

You may be right: (I was listening to Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! yesterday. It's a shame what time does to a band.)

Speaking of the demos, the first Scoop is one of my favorite Pete albums. I got the album when it came out in 1983. I remember playing it all the time. Plus, it has great liner notes. If you look at the Wikipedia page for the album, it lists Spike as Elvis Costello (as "Spike"). This is not correct.

From what I have been reading, Keith's playing is better than it has been in years. It's also interesting to see Ronnie playing a Les Paul.

Little Red Rooster with Brian on slide is a pretty cool thing to see/hear. Second night setlist (11/29/2012):
