Topic: New Chords Postings
Today's posting features some early 1970's pop psychedelia from the dark side. "Where Evil Grows" comes from The Poppy Family's second (and final) album, Poppy Seeds (1971). The album was the follow-up to their highly successful debut album, Which Way You Goin' Billy? (1969), with its #1 charting title song."Where Evil Grows", notable for its grim theme and dark undercurrent, was atypical of pop radio fare. The Terry and Susan Jacks-sung duet became a Top 10 hit in Canada. The Poppy Family disbanded in 1973 upon the breakup of the Jacks' marriage.

Monolith was the seventh album for prog rockers Kansas. The album, released in 1979, didn't have the success of the band's previous two albums, nor did it produce a hit to rival the popularity of "Carry On Wayward Son" or "Dust In the Wind", but in my opinion the album is among their best. It stands up well right alongside Leftoverture and Point Of Know Return. I also always liked the concept artwork for the album, finding the picture on the inside of the gatefold cover to be particularly effective. (
Time for more repair work. A while back I did a post about revisions I had done to the tab of "Hollywood". That was just a bit of tinkering to make the main riff play better. This time it's the tab of "Your Daddy Don't Know", and it's a much bigger overhaul. Almost every staff in the tab has been altered.
AGTA is three years old today! January 29 is the date I chose as Day 1 back in the beginning, the day I had all of the tabs loaded onto the site and decided it was pretty much ready for the world. It was a one page site then. It's evolved some since that time, although it's always served the same simple purpose...guitar tabs. The most recent addition has been the AGTA YouTube channel (such as it is 
).
This should take some of you back to the Saturday morning cartoons of your childhood. I know it does for me. I distinctly remember this one, and apparently it was the very first Schoolhouse Rock video. I can even still remember them singing the "Multiplication Rock is brought to you by...your favourite General Foods" tag line that came at the end of these segments, although it's not included in this video. 
"Any Major Dude Will Tell You" was the B-side of Steely Dan's most successful single, the #4 hit "Rikki Don't Lose That Number". While not officially released as a single itself, "Dude" also became well known and popular in its own right, and appears on many Dan best of/greatest hits compilation CDs.
or "What's that black blob in the foreground in the Chilliwack chords video?" (It's one of my cats.)
"There's Something I Like About That" was the second of three singles taken from Chilliwack's fourth album, Riding High (1974). (The other singles were "Crazy Talk" and "Come On Over".) While the song didn't enjoy the Top 10 success that "Crazy Talk" did, it broke into the Top 100, reaching #85 in Canada.
