jk: "Only Time" was heard often during the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. If music can heal, Enya's music has to be the perfect balm: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wfYIMyS_dI

Kapitan: A new No. 1 in the Hot 100 thread, the final one of 1961 (and first of 1962).

jk: As a comment on Sheriff's most recent "RR&R" post, Joe's first 45 in the UK was "Marjorine": www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2vRA3yhGbE. It was part of my piano repertoire for a while. I recall Joe was an inveterate air guitarist!

Kapitan: The next No. 1 from the Hot 100, well, we're skipping that, having already covered it back in the 1960 chart-toppers. But ironically, the song that knocked it off the top spot in 1962 was also inspired by and capitalizing on it.

jk: I'll give the album covers thread another day or two to develop, otherwise out it goes. It seemed like a good idea at the time!

Kapitan: Leave it, jk (not that I'm in a position to give orders, just suggesting). No need to disappear history, plus someone will want to post in it eventually: it's an evergreen topic. (We were just talking about liking having old threads around to revive.)

Rob: Yes, keep it around. I think the lack of posts so far might be due to the very subjective nature of the topic. Much of it has to do with the type of music a person listens to in the first place, so one man's trash is another man's girlfriend, so to speak.

kds: I would love to contribute to that thread, but posting images is a struggle at the moment

Kapitan: I've begun giving that thread some thought as well. My first thought is, I really don't think about album covers in a positive way very often: it's more negative, or unnoticed/neutral with me. (I'm not an especially visual arts person.)

Kapitan: A new tune in the Hot 100 thread: another confusing back-story and a vocal bass line that seems custom made for Mike Love (who did in fact sing it live, anyway).

jk: Respect to monolithic for launching and maintaining some great new threads here and at EH. The proverbial breath of fresh air.

Kapitan: Indeed, but also other new and newish members contributing. It's always fun when new voices join in.

monolithic: Thank you for the kind comments which I hadn't noticed until now.
