She came to my studio with such a swagger, and I heard her sing and went "Huh?"I'm not surprised by any means! My older sister knew the female lead in the "Sgt. Pepper's" movie, and said she was a real, um, unkind person. This singer came out with an album called "Diane --- Who?" or something like that. It was so terrible, that it was on our first list for shotgun assassination. We took it out into a field, flew it like a frisbee, and our roommate blew the crap out of it. It sat on our wall of "One Hit Wonders" for many years as a reminder ---Ern

They may have had a couple.I played with Ambrosia's drummer, Burleigh Drummond, who joined my band when he was on hiatus from Ambrosia (which was most of the time! ). He was a good solid drummer, but I never got the story from him about Ambrosia. Burleigh sure told some good jokes, though! Funny guy ---Ern

Hey! How about probably the first punk/rock hit:"Talk Talk" by The Music Machine! Great song, great attitude, lousy recording. Ern

How about "You Are The Woman" by Firefall?That has to be one of the worst records ever made! I believe they were "one hit wonders," but are STILL playing live! Here's a video from 2008 that's even worse than the record!

Sure looks like they're having fun, huh? Gag!Ern

Grunge WAY before grunge!Has anybody covered "Talk Talk?" Seems like someone has, but I can't remember. Ern
