What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Orleans was actually a good album, and the brain of the project, John Hall, is now a U.S. Congressman. That's the album "Still the One" was on. They sold so many rights for commercials, it most likely paid for Hall's campaign run by itself.
Most common comment from these band members today: "What the hell were we thinking?"

Yeah. Was in high school and actually sang to it (Still the One). There's Led Zep IV, which is pretty strange, I mean after II and III. But pick any Osmonds album, and Barry White! Sheeesh!But its the tunes on the vinyl that counts. But the dude with the pig in the pig pen and the guy with the sixteen year old are really disturbing

Those are some pretty horrific album covers.
Allan how do you know about "Orelans" and John Hall's involvement? I had never heard of the band before. Is Hall one of the five guys on the cover?
His official biography actually admits to his membership in the band - and an amazing diversity of things he has been involved in.
I don't think I want to know anything about most of the other bands.. though i am curious about the guy with the "hook" hand Jeff something. I wonder if he played an instrument.

John Hall is the guy in the front. He and his wife wrote all the songs. I used to have the album. Great harmonies on the vocals and the lyrics are somewhat sugary philosophical goodness based do right stuff.
I remember hearing that he was going political long ago. He left the band after this album, their first. The band had another release and a hit, "Dance with Me" written by the other bearded guy.
It is a shame the Halls left the band. The vocals worked so well together, they were on par with CSN and such.
I saw Congressman Hall on C-Span one day and the reporter started his introduction with a flash back to Hall's musical past which just seemed to embarrass the Congressman.
btw this post is a testament that humans have way too much junk in their heads. Want to know about the Allman Brothers? How about the Dead? Anyone know what they did with Jerry's ashes? You just can't do enough drugs to get this stuff purged.

70's TV? Thank goodness I don't follow sports. I quit watching when they quit letting me play. I walked into my local pub one day and asked who was playing. Everyone was crowded around the screen. The whole place went quiet. It was for the pennant and the local team was playing. Oops.

He still has a nice voice - and good patience :o) - I'm impressed. Sort of canned answers to the actual questions but I can't imagine it is easy to give anything more than that on Colbert.
And I recognized the "Still the One" song now. I'm thinking I may have owned that album when I was younger.
Just an FYI : It looks like "Dance with Me" might have been #69 on the Billboard Top Pop Charts of 1975 and "Still the One" was #12 or #81, I'm not sure which) in 1976 - at it's highest it reached #5 in the charts.
Based on those years I'm thinking maybe Hall was around for both songs.

I'm certain I've never seen the pig one, the hook hand guy, the no hands lady, or any of the religious ones or that creepy bearded guy with the 16 year old, or, for that matter, the foreign ones. I didn't shop for foreign albums much as a kid.
I also don't own and have never owned the albums by the guy who is on the list twice (mouths and rats). I don't remember what else was on the list even :O)
I may have owned the Orleans album when I was a kid in 8-track form; I'll neither confirm or deny having actually owned it. But the possibility certainly exists.

8-track! Only real music fans listened to 8-track. You had to have patience for the regular
ka-chunk in the mix.

I was a kid (maybe 4-10 years old) I took whatever music my parents would buy; no patience required (other than the patience of waiting for my parents to pay for music).
I think we even had an 8track player built into our car for a while.

This is what happens when you want to save money and not contact a good graphics designer, but think your kid can do it because he has PhotoShop on his Gateway.

Well, except that almost all of these albums were released before Photoshop or Gateway existed. Sometimes professionals make mistakes, too.
