[@matthewstreet1961]

[@vikingbrace]

@@matthewstreet1961 Thanks Matt! Gotta have fun with these videos, you obviously do lol. Thanks again for the hats!

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Awesome brother

[@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486]

Great entry Gary!These picks were definitely in your wheelhouse. Always love when you and Steve crack on each other. Good luck in the contest,

[@vikingbrace]

@@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486 Thanks Jeff! Well I’ve found with Steve’s ego you sometimes have to put a pin in his balloon or that ego just goes over the top. It’s done out of love.

[@beerandvinyl]

Ohhh Graham is a great pick! Argus is one of my favorite records of all time. Great entry Gary and thanks for the love (and Sven).

[@vikingbrace]

@@beerandvinyl Thanks Alex! You are a true gem amongst pebbles 😊

[@EmbryonicRobot]

Beer for breakfast. I have been doing it all wrong. Tanya Tucker! Hilarious. Awesome.

[@vikingbrace]

@@EmbryonicRobot Thank you Brian! (I do tend to wait to drop videos 😉)

[@pc31thevinylpoliceman]

Hi Gary, beautiful tribute to the mighty Chicago Sven. I think you could have also mentioned his favourite album from 2023…..Alice’s ‘The Road’, he loved that album 😮 Mike

[@vikingbrace]

@@pc31thevinylpoliceman Ahhh that would have been a good one Mike😁

[@aaronmuthaalamare4165]

Killer entry Gary ! Nice choices and like Sven twang is my favorite too😂 good luck brother 👍🤘🤘

[@vikingbrace]

@@aaronmuthaalamare4165 😂Thanks brother!

[@ChrisPropfeMusicallyObsessed]

Good luck in the contest, brother! I can definitely see Steve listening to Tanya! Lol. Wishbone Ash is a good time!

[@vikingbrace]

@@ChrisPropfeMusicallyObsessed Thanks Chris! 😁

[@AnthonyGambler812]

Sven indeed loves the “Twang!” Great entry Gary, you never disappoint amigo! 😉 I gotta get some RAINBOW in my collection. 👊🏻

[@vikingbrace]

@@AnthonyGambler812 Thank you Anthony! Yes, you do need some Rainbow 🤘

[@TheAuditoryVinyl]

Nice! Watching this at 5am that must be a breakfast beer! Cool Tanya album, don’t see that very often. Awesome job! Thanks for entering!

[@vikingbrace]

@@TheAuditoryVinyl thanks Doug lol! I actually had this done a couple days ago but just wanted to wait a few days from my last video to drop this. I don’t generally drink before work 😂. Great contest!

[@onmyturntable7036]

Great entry, Gary! I had fun entering Doug's contest as well. Old school Tanya Tucker is freakin' great - nuts to Steve! (insert my 'just kidding' to Steve here). I'm with ya - R&B needs a bit more attention in the VC. Good stuff all around....😎

[@vikingbrace]

Thank you! I love my rock and metal but you need some country and funk in there too sometimes 😁

[@MortenAastad]

Splendid entry. Best of luck Gary 😊 That looked like a good summer drink. Now head on over and get my contest out of the way 😁 Cheers from Morten and, for you, gooo Tribe! 😄

[@vikingbrace]

@@MortenAastad Yes! Go Tribe! I will be making a video Morten. It’s next on my agenda 😁

[@MortenAastad]

@@vikingbrace Ohio Norwegian Americans? Now that I’d like to see. Not thaaaat far from Indiana, the Dakotas and of course the most Norwegian of them all, Minnesota! Oh, that’s a cold state ja? Ja! Huff da! Oh and Iggy Pop is taken 😄 …by 4 VC’ers so far.

[@RandallWeaver]

lol....cool entry. I thought Bonnett-era Rainbow was good too. I like that album. Good luck in the contest Gary!

[@vikingbrace]

@@RandallWeaver Thanks Randy! An overlooked album yet it had two really big hits.

[@MGKBOSTON]

"If there's two things our friend Steve likes it's female singers and Country Music" 😂"He likes that twang in the voice" 😂 Ohio Players are indeed a fun band. A+++ for their cover art! I only have their Greatest Hits album. Fun video as always Gary!

[@vikingbrace]

@@MGKBOSTON Thanks Mike! I find it funny that both Steve and I picked each other without knowing. Ohio Players make you dance!

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

So funny

[@vikingbrace]

@@theflipside-vinylcommunity Thanks brother!

[@EightVinylLow]

Hey Gary! That Wishbone Ash is solid! Great entry :)

[@vikingbrace]

@@EightVinylLow Thank you Emma. WA is a band I’ve only discovered in the last 3-4 years.

[@Americanasam1994]

I had a couple of shandys myself! When I think of Sven, I think twang.

[@vikingbrace]

@@Americanasam1994 I mean, who doesn’t?🤷🏻

[@RandyforRoyals]

Fine entry into Doug's contest. I hope he can recover those old subscribers and a bunch of new ones as well. I can't wait until we get to Steve showing the "T's" in his ongoing series, so we can see all the Tanya Tucker that he has. Great Wishbone Ash album and I like The Ohio Players as well. I'm not that familiar with Graham Bonnett but I do like when Michael Schenker was with UFO and I should check out his own band.

[@vikingbrace]

Thanks Randy! I’ve probably embarrassed Steve now and I bet he won’t even show any of his Tanya Tucker records.

[@musicisajourney]

You and Steve: we need a compilation of your videos chucking barbs at each other. I had a good laugh seeing you on JC’s Flip Side video. That was totally unexpected! Hey, that Alcatraz album, I think if I scroll way down in my Amazon stands buy cart it’s sitting there. And he’s on Assault Attack?! That’s another one that’s been on standby for years.

[@vikingbrace]

@@musicisajourney Thanks! Steve and I have a good time at each other’s expense. I had a blast with Josh. If you only want to pick one of those out of your Amazon cart, I’d definitely go with Assault Attack.

[@musicisajourney]

@@vikingbrace Awesome! I have a couple of MSG albums but Assault Attack and Built to Destroy have always stood out for their covers.

[@benrankins4446]

Of course Sven gets the shout out 😂 "You know him, you love him or you just know him" 🤣When I was in late primary school & my uncle still lived at home, he used to have 3 huge Ohio Players posters on his wall. At that age I didn't know where to look! That was the must flesh I'd ever seen back then 🙄

[@vikingbrace]

Oh man I would like those posters on my wall now lol. Wife might not though 🤔

[@benrankins4446]

@@vikingbrace 😂

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Got to love the Ohio players

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

Ohio Players, ah, teenage porn dream covers! Always been a big fan of the Dayton funk sound. When I was traveling to Dayton several times a month for work I rarely found the Dayton bands, always found that odd. Doug and I started around the same time but I totally lost track of him. Now I know why

[@vikingbrace]

@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 Thanks Steve! Well at least there’s a small mural in downtown Dayton of some of the bands.
