I advise everyone to listen to 'Countdown to Ecstasy' ASAP. I hadn't
heard it in a while, and after doing so I have to say it's guaranteed
to blow your freaking mind. It's one of the all time guitar records,
Jeff Baxter and Denny Dias, holy shit. And the production, there are
so many brilliant subtle things going on... wow. It's an inspiration
to us all.
My second favorite Steely Dan album. I've always been a huge Skunk
Baxter fan.

I don't think that was Skunk, Randy California was Spirit's guitar whiz.
12 Dreams still holds up very well!!

They're great to get drunk to. ...So long as you feel like being happy.
They're sort of energized like Steppenwolf or something. It's not
sleepy/whiney time stuff.
I always thought they were a good pop rock and roll band. Jay Ferguson
always struck me as really talented. http://www.bostream.nu/johanb/jay/

JoJo Gunne was formed by the Spirit keyboardist and bassist in '71. I
never thought they were more than "meh". From Mark Andes' online resume:
Heart, Spirit, Firefall, Canned Heat, Stevie Nicks, Dan Fogelberg,
Whitesnake, Jo Jo Gunne, Chris Hillman, Kim Carnes, John Fahey,
Iain Matthews, Kelly Willis, Jim Lauderdale, Eliza Gilkyson, and
Joe Walsh . . . all have relied on the brilliant musicianship of
Mark Andes to punctuate their songs and elevate their musical
visions to chart-topping status. He has been the rock solid
support on bass guitar, songwriting and vocals for all of the
above . . . and more.

Yeah. I bought everything that Todd put out. Including Runt and his
stuff with the Nice. The last of his albums I bought was the first
Utopia thing. That's about the time I thought he lost his edge. Some of
his stuff on Something/Anything, Wizard, etc was plain incredible.
As poppy as his old stuff was it seemed to me like he stopped taking his
work seriously about the time of Utopia.
I bought about everything that the members of Spirit did after they
split the first time and everything they did after the reunion...
Randy's solo stuff was pretty good... the World Eat World Dog stuff
seemed like they were just reworking Natures Way to me. I didn't buy any
of Ferguson's solo stuff at all... he seemed to meander off into that
soul-less late late '7os Christopher Cross/I like Pina Coladas world.
:} Maybe he should have stuck with margaritas like Jimmy Buffet.
