That's Three Letter Acronym, for short... who do you like best? (Good rainout fodder...)

Gwreck Sep 12 2008 08:42 PM

CCR, and it's not even close.

I'm with fairy on this one with BTO a close second.

Fortunate Son Who'll Stop the Rain Green River Bad Moon Rising Traveling Band Born on the Bayou Proud Mary Run Through the Jungle Lodi Up Around the Bend CCR would destroy any of the rest of these bands in a ladder challenge.

Sweet Talkin' Woman Rockaria Livin' Thing Evil Woman Telephone Line Don't Bring Me Down Showdown Ma-Ma-Ma- Belle Mr. Blue Sky Turn to Stone To each his own of course, but these guys were no slouches.

Hard to consider CSN rock without the Y. No offense meant, Stephen. Creedence.

If BOC=Blue Oyster Cult I took them. Not best, I vote for favorites not best. Funny mixture. I like hearing an ELO song on the radio from time to time, saw them back in another life with a tomato and three quarters. There are times when I'll turn CCR off if I'm not up for that voice and other times I'll turn it up. Gotta be in the mood for CSN too. I'd never turn off Soft White Underbelly. I know you all think I'm weird, and you're right.

I would vote but it's early and for the life of me I can't figure out all the acronym's. A little help please.

I am an ELO guy. More so after recently listening to the very underrated "Secret Messages" album (1983).

Divison of bands who sort of qualify but aren't with the spirit because the TL abbreviation always identified them far beyond anything it stood for: REM Division of bands who the TL abbreviation didn't stand for anything, but was a homonym for a word: XTC

No real standout here. All had very uneven careers, or settled into the same old same old and fell apart. I'm not enthused about any of the choices.

Since this is a Mets forum, I'll go with BTO for "Takin' Care of Business."

cooby Sep 14 2008 08:05 AM

sharpie Sep 15 2008 07:28 AM

Cooby's ranking is exactly my ranking!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 15 2008 07:35 AM

Lunchpail Junior digs both "Down Bruce" (aka "Don't Let Me Down") and "Strange Magic."
