1. Some would argue about the "started" part.

2. Not exactly. Caribou was pretty crappy, too.
But I suppose we can agree on the general time frame.

4. I'm sure it was garbage, but I enjoyed it when I was 14, 15, etc.

5. I think it had something to do with UNI records going out of business


Elton John's stuff on UNI was great, as was Neil Diamond's. When that label was swallowed up by MCA, they both went downhill immediately.

7. You spelled Rush wrong, and I think their first album was just called Rush. nt

10. But "Mona Lisas and mad hatters" is one of the best songs ever written. So I don't
care if he "sucked" later.

12. "Wake up Wendy" from the South Park CD was pretty good
But yeah, I'd agree that the Captain was far from Fantastic... but Caribou was really the beginning of the end.

13. A lot of his tunes I love while there are others I don't like..
One of my favorite Albums of all time is "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." One of my favorite songs ever is "Love Lies Bleeding in my Hand." I saw him in Houston years ago and he started the concert with "Love Lies Bleeding....
