I see!

OK - the journey begins with enlightenment, an encounter with an amusement park coflagration, a race on the highway, an includes a urilogically-challened schoolmate.

No - not from Jersey. This artist comes from a soulful place a bit South and West of there.

...in Pennsylvania...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #10 on:** January 27, 2011, 05:26:57 AM »

....released in 1972....

This is the third 'solo'album released by this artist. Indeed, he was closer to a solo artist than most.

One of the more popular songs on this album was a re-make of a recording done by a band of which he was once a member. The artist cited Carol King as an influence for some of the other songs on this work.

Quote

Nazz was a psychedelic and garage rock band from the 1960s. The band was formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1967 by Todd Rundgren (lead guitar) and Carson Van Osten (bass guitar). Thom Mooney (drums, formerly of the Munchkins), and Robert "Stewkey" Antoni (vocals, keyboards) joined before their first concert, opening for the Doors in 1967.

Your turn to post one.

OK...some guys from Memphis apparently have a big hit on their hands...along the way adolescents visit India and enjoy the sun coming up.

A hint...the band itself is from Memphis...

Rock band?

That's it! One of my favorites!!!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #23 on:** March 12, 2011, 07:53:20 AM »

Oops - I guess it's my turn!

Cats, dogs, Salvador Dali, a pink bird, the destruction of the Chrysler Building, and one cool jerk lend an international flavor and feel to this album. .

You must be a big Todd Rundgren fan, Karn! This one would be "A Wizard, A True Star."
