The Helix track "Breakdown" comes from the band's seventh studio album, Back For Another Taste (1990). They toured extensively behind the album, playing showcase bars. At one point during this touring, while in England, the band were called home to Canada to tour, in order to build on momentum started when the song "Good To the Last Drop" took off as a single there. Ultimately, the album peaked at #82 in Canada and #179 in the US.
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.
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.
