    Pretty Lady: Lighthouse (1973)

    What? You’re telling me that you won’t listen to a band with nine long-haired members on a matter of principle? But the singer sounds like a cleaned up Lou Reed fronting the Raspberries! With a horn section! In Vegas!

    I heard this song for the first time yesterday. In a record store, of course. I think it’s a perfect record store song because it embodies so many things that record geeks are into: Lou Reed, power pop, pretty ladies, complete obscurity. And yet, the odds of even your most fervent record geek having actually heard it before are pretty slim. I think this is because any reasonable shopper would pass on this album based on the cover image alone. Sorry, dudes. I can’t feel it.

    Doesn’t it remind you a little of Sloan’s “Everything You’ve Done Wrong”? (Both bands are Canadian!)
