“Good”, “In The Blood”, and “Desperately Wanting” are three timeless, perfect songs.

And I’ve never heard another note from them. That is very much a me issue.

"Diary Of A Madman"
"Aja"
"I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide”
“Sludge Factory”
"Locomotive"

“King of New Orleans” got a lot of airplay when it first came out and then they had some random Adult Pop hit single a few years later but all their albums flopped (I’m just talking about what happened after the “Desperately Wanting” era, and on that note I feel like that song should have been bigger- like I remember a video and a lot of play on rock radio but obviously it was nowhere near “Good” big)

I agree King of New Orleans is a fucking great song, and should have been a bigger hit......

Can't seem to find the actual video on YouTube?

Good.

It's absolutely idiotic to contend Zep weren't A-listers in the 1970s.

Agreed, but "Good", "Rosalia", "In the Blood", and "Desperately Wanting" are all pretty great alt-rock classics as well.

They're local, so I gotta support them.

Great band, nothing special though. Just basic slow rock music.
