I was watching The 40-year old Viirgin last night and was wonderfully suprised to hear they included the song "Sharin' the Night Together". :eek: I have always liked Dr. Hook and kind of feel they're a little underrated and under appreciated. :cool: They wrote some beautiful songs. I dunno that was just bothering me a little. What do you think? Who is your most underrated musicians?

I think Dr. Hook is underrated for sure. I can't think of any others at the moment. How was that movie?
I am a constant evolving music machine. Oh Man, I just forgot what I was playing. Oh well, on to the next song. :rolleyes:

I'll check it out. Speaking of waxed. Have you seen House Of Wax? It was pretty good. The only thing I didn't care for was the ending but the movie itself was cool.

That was awesome! I thought that was one of the best scenes in the whole film.

They were a 'novelty act', which pretty much guarantees a limited appeal, kinda like Wierd Al Yankovik. Even though they had some good players. Shel Silverstein did most of their writing. If you can find a copy of his solo album (vinyl) it'll blow you away! "Freakin' At The Freaker's Ball" is an underground classic. :cool:

My favs are Sylvias Mother, Queen of the Silver Dollar, Cover of the Rolling Stone, I was Stoned and I missed it, among others. I like 'em prolly 'cus it was the kind of old school stuff I was raised with you know?
