Interesting to see H&O pop up on the list here. My older brother
turned me on to them when 'Bigger Than the Both of Us' came out. They
were flying under my radar for several years recently until we got a
couple last minute tickets to see them here in Baltimore. I'd
forgotten how great they could be (though I'm still wary of the whole
'Private Eyes'/'Maneater' era after too many eps of 'Beavis & Butt-
head') and what a long, successful career they. I definitely
recommend the 'Very Best Of' disc which has pretty much everything
you'd want to hear.
