Man, Summer Sun continues to get no love, and comparing "The Fireside" to the Stones' "Moonlight Mile" is unquestionably the kindest thing ever written about "The Fireside." That said, fantastic, well reasoned piece, wouldn't change the Top 6 at all. But everyone needs to sit down with Summer Sun again. "Moonrock Mambo" is a candidate for the worst song they ever committed to wax (and unintentionally steals a bassline from MC 900 Ft. Jesus), but there's lots of mellow sweetness on that record.

The clip would seem to indicate that a shofar is going to be featured on this record. Amazing.

Bonus! - Weird Al purposely jacked the Black Gold melody and verse structure for "The Night That Santa Went Crazy."

I was far too young (13) to appreciate the drug addled self-loathing of this record when it was first released, but it rather gives me the chills now. Fun fact, I ended up getting Dirt in my Columbia House 13 pack over Faith No More's Angel Dust because the latter had a song called Crack Hitler on it, and I was concerned my mom would find that alone far more offensive bleak songs about heroin abuse.

No "Breath"? For shame.

Wouldn't that have been Dave Krusen on drums on Breath? Could be wrong. Good article.
