Blue J Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yeah, I was going to say, Boston's second album came out in 1978, and their third (Third Stage, appropriately) was not until 1986. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 I had that Adam & the Ants album. As for Ashes To Ashes, I think it's the best song Bowie ever did (of what I know - I only had a few of his albums). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
