Jackson 5 - ABC
haha, liked it!
I'd never took the J5 albums seriously. I'm gonna take a listen someday.

I didn't know that you liked Three Dog Night and Badfinger James Taylor and Free. I recently put a Three Dog Night Best-of in my top 100 because it's so awesome. I'm glad you put Anne Murray. Snowbird is amazing. And that Eric Clapton album. I like it better than Layla even.
