re: #168 makeitstop

I was a huge Move fan, and I could never understand why they never broke through here in the States. They were the prototypical ‘heavy’ band (check out ‘Brontosaurus,’ which was eventually covered by Cheap Trick along with ‘California Man’) - that song was exploring down-tunings a few years before Black Sabbath.

The Move’s ‘Message From The Country’ is a stunning album. If they’d just hung on long enough to have a US hit, ELO probably would have remained a Move side project as Wood intended.

I now have an album to track down. Thank you!
