-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y...

[@benrowe4909]

This will never be a B+ song. This song is pure rock, pure A+

[@bradlandis7]

Personally I thought the B+ rating was generous. It’s a B- if I’m driving and a solid C any other time.

[@mtzmtz37]

I agree, rockin song!

[@rocklazenby8266]

Definitely A+. But if you didn't grow up in the 60's and 70's, you might have a different opinion. A+ all the way for me

[@scottburch3178]

I love BTO...but not this song. My favorite is "Let it ride" , which they didn't appreciate either.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

​@@bradlandis7How long have you been a Taylor Swift fan? 🤔🌈🪷🌺🩷

[@johnshatzko4153]

50 years on and still a banger!!! Turners' vocals and the guitar make this and S tier in my book.

[@trevortamboline279]

Always liked Turner's vocals far more than Bachman's.

[@MikeD_]

@@trevortamboline279 Without Turner, BTO would be BO. Just kidding. Great band.

[@trevortamboline279]

@@MikeD_ good one!

[@tednewcomb1048]

It's not possible to stay under the speed limit when this song is playing ...

[@joedella-mattia2234]

I got pulled over one time driving from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg to go see BTO play. Cop said why are you driving do damn fast!?!?!? I turned the stereo back up with this on. He shook his head and let me off with a warning. Still did that 8 hour drive in just under 6 hours . Canada has the best rock groups EVER!!!! 🇨🇦🤟🤟🇨🇦🤟🇨🇦🤟🇨🇦🤟🇨🇦 A+++++ for me!!!!

[@abelincoln3287]

This has one of the greatest guitar solos in the history of rock-n-roll

[@bradlandis7]

I guess you are not familiar with David Gilmour and Alex Lifeson!

[@kikidee2639]

This song rocks! It blows away the competition.

[@alexjbennett1017]

Don't you mean to say this is one of your favorite guitar solos?

[@abelincoln3287]

@@alexjbennett1017 I have to admit that you are correct

[@davidcann2405]

This is one of my favorite guitar solos but I've always thought it sounds like the start should be the middle. Like they recorded the first part, didn't like it and just left it out.

[@briansmith7492]

Back when music was just Fun.

[@ruelsmith]

LOVE Fred Turner's voice! Definitely an A+ for me. This band just screamed blue collar in a good way.

[@timwirasnik5878]

This whole Not Fragile Album is just pure AWESOMNESS!

[@GregDaGoblin]

Maybe they'll do Blue Collar some day.... BTO is my favorite Canadian band. Yeah, I went there lol

[@guytaylor6891]

Thats one of my all time favorite songs !!!

[@jonniiinferno9098]

if i am on a road trip - this is a solid A+ for the duration... double-slap across your faces - Why don't you give this song Good grades ??!!??

[@daveperala4723]

Feel good, hangin with your buddies and the flavor of the week ROCK AND ROLL. Had this on album and 8 track. Yeah I am that old. This is part of what made the 70's the GREATEST decade for rock-n-roll. To have been there when it was actually happening, was awesome.

[@user-dv8mq1gf5w]

I'm pretty sure it was when Deep Purple was headlining the TEXXAS JAM in between bands someone started playing BTO over the PA system and a ROAR .....yelling TURN IT UP !!!!! came out of the crowd and it was as loud or louder than the cheers for the bands playing that day . OKIES AND TEXANS ... WE LOVE US SOME BTO !!!!!!1

[@alkronlage5236]

Started my senior year in high school when this banger came out. Nothing less than an A+

[@billmouser8099]

BTO my first concert with Heart and Cheap Trick as the warm up in 1974. 6 bucks and I had to mow a few yards for it. I love you guys, sorry you weren't even born then.

[@davidyerkey7425]

Grabbing gears in my 69 GTO back in the day 🎸🤘

[@donalddixon5525]

A+ for me. It has sentimental value for me as well.

[@tracycampbell3060]

Sentimental value for me to. Love BTO

[@tracycampbell3060]

Sentimental value for me as well. Love BTO

[@marktait2371]

yep we grew with the band songs 8 tracks i have 4 today v vinlys hard to find local.has but nice condition quite exoensive at least 20 for a good copy

[@cesarnarro6013]

Cruising in my 68 Chevy Impala in 1974 when this tune came on the radio...so good !

[@johnnymartin49]

For me it was my 68 Camero!!! O yeah, cruising music for sure!!! 😎

[@THEZOOROCKSCOM]

BTO was the most popular rock group on 1973-1974. Underrated. Father and Son are touring now. Very cool to see this music reignited by A and A. Good job boys!

[@wesleiribeiro7816]

Thank you guys, if it wasn't from you I probably wouldn't have heard of this song, love it, thank you.

[@rogerdodger6025]

"Gimme Your Money Please" "Not Fragile" "Four Wheel Drive" "Sledgehammer" and of course "Takin' Care of Business" are all bangers you need to check out.

[@billlster]

Let it ride, too!

[@johnnyV2194]

It’s “Let it Ride” for me.

[@brianalbee6674]

Title cut Not Fragile for sure. That heavy bass it starts out with and then the crashing guitars followed by that growling voice. A real rocker.

[@guitarkis4969]

The best verse is "… Time's real short, you know the distance is long I'd like to have a jet but it's not in the song Climb back in the cab, cross my fingers for luck We gotta keep moving if we're going to make a buck" Musically they mix clean and heavy guitar tones so well....recognize this please.

[@chrisross-fd3fo]

I immediately thought of AC/DC.when they fired it up..I don't know why..never have before.. but it's right there...and I heard it the day it came out..I wanna cut these guys some slack but they been doing it like a 1/4 of their lives now

[@scottingram7634]

"Blue Collar" up next for BTO. Not what you'd expect from these guys but a killer song with some great guitar work. OR "Gimme Your Money Please" for a straight up banger that really brings the grit.

[@guitarexpert2245]

It's 2024 these guys have a completely different perspective than we had in the early 70's. So give them some slack.

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

'You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet' and 'Taking Care of Business' are especially classic BTO.

[@thomasthompson698]

C.F. Turner has the growl... love his vocals. Supposedly, he was very difficult to record in the studio because his pipes are so powerful! ANYWAY... I'm all over BTO... and as an expert in their music...lol...I know you'll love "Lookin' Out For #1" and "Rock Is My Life, And This Is My Song "...2 of their best! The title track of "Not Fragile" is awesome too... one of their heaviest songs ever... road music in my college days! 😉

[@derkommissar785]

Turner has the perfect voice for rock and roll.

[@steveker5084]

A++++, hands down. These guys were the best.

[@m.y.o.b.724]

Pure 🔥! One of those feel good songs that put a smile on you face.

[@clive4949]

Bought this album in 1976 as a 15 year old. Full of bangers and an absolute classic southern rock album.

[@clintatk]

Mister Bachman, showing how you do it! ❤

[@user-qc3oe5di7x]

CANADIAN GOLD !

[@tracycampbell3060]

Yes!

[@atomicpunk520]

Is it the beer or sumthin in the water ? This Hoosier don't know but this is sum-mo damn good music from my most northern neighbor.

[@user-ef3hf1et3t]

Yep Canadian Vikings playing guitars.

[@libsterella]

One of the best road trip songs, EVER.

[@plpgto]

Love Randy Bachman, killer music, danced to this in the '70 and '80's🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@joannaburchell7131]

I haven't heard these guys for years, absolutely banging guitar for a Sunday afternoon. Thanks for playing it.

[@brianesbaugh6897]

As a Canadian, BTO was my first and favourite band back in ‘74. Constantly cranked Four Wheel Drive way too often. Should review that song

[@supobostarman]

Its been easily my favorite fuckin BTO song since the 1970s. Always a go-to road trip banger!

[@rlan1199]

BTO's Sledgehammer is one of the hardest rocking songs ever made. A&A need to hear it! CF sings his butt off on that one.

[@SnowDogisVictorious]

It's funny. I was just re-watching your three reactions to the Guess Who last night. Lots of room in the Cummings/Bachman rabbit hole!

[@tjtampa214]

Lol! "Why won't you get good grades?! 😅 LOVE the Loud & energetic BTO band. Grr-eat 🎵 song! Always loved it. Makes my day every time. Thx! 💙💙 One of the brothers was my neighbor.

[@ch3no2killz]

Great guys from the Great White North! Said they got robbed in New York, so they wrote a song about it, great tune. They were impressed cause the guy the rolled em said "please"! Song you need to hear "Gimmy Your Money Please"

[@jollyrodgers7272]

Thought you'd never get around to this one. It basically defines their OVERDRIVE name!

[@mofosoto]

The title track is criminally underrated, underplayed and under appreciated! Please listen! Great way to kick off an album!

[@astrogoodvibes6164]

''Rock is my life (and this is my song)'' has gotta be their best.

[@angelaproctor9552]

Just as SWEET as when it came out in, '74!!

[@Crazywater1976]

That guitar solo earns it an A+ by itself. Come on fellas!

[@mikeboudreau]

This is a great song and I rocked to it a long time in high school

[@jackhargrove4275]

Was partying to this at 19 & 20 yrs. Old ,in Germany Hahn AFB. ,Up on a Hill watching boat racing along the Mozel River . GREAT DAYS 💯💗🇺🇸✌️💗

[@lawrenceabeyta3808]

Man this brings back memories as a kid, playing pool in the garage with my brothers and cousins, door open, shooting basketball, playing this vinyl.

[@marklane61]

First album I ever bought. It had been out about 4 months and Takin Care of Business was on radio alot. This album still rocks!

[@davidschecter5247]

Easy A+. Simple, good ol' rock 'n' roll! So catchy!

[@rocklazenby8266]

Definitely agree!

[@franklande6575]

This song carried its weight with grit and power with NO Bridge! so Awesome.

[@hampyonce]

I had this album when my player was a portable attache kind of deal. One of the first three or four albums I ever owned.

[@NoobToob2014]

I was listening to this song as i was landing in Winnipeg a few weeks ago. True Canadian treasure of a band (not to mention the Guess Who and well!) Cheers from Vancouver BC

[@mylesteller]

I literally speed with the windows down when this song playing lol

[@wiliamwidlacki7459]

BTO always delivers pure hard driving Rock!!!!

[@ericelander9936]

The day I got my driver's permit in 75 this song came on the radio driving home. Synchronicity!!

[@markjacobsen8335]

Fun fact: the BTO "Not Fragile" album title was a nod to the YES "Fragile" album, which was hugely popular at the time, because BTO wanted to let everyone know they were nothing like YES. 😂 Of course, many were fans of both bands. Still funny.

[@blwestern]

This song was playing on my 8-track back in the day!

[@aceridr50]

A&A read through the comments and you will see a common theme. The most mentioned song by BTO is Blue Collar. You always ask "what should we cover next". Well it should be obvious. Please, for all your fans, the next song you cover by BTO "MAKE IT BLUE COLLAR". Thanks guys.

[@DandyLion662a]

Absolutely. My fave BTO song and a classic regardless of genre.

[@rhudoc3745]

this cut & Highway Star (Deep Purple) are a speeding ticket every time....!

[@BackdraftB]

One of the catchiest choruses ever.

[@alexjbennett1017]

Practically every song is an A+ to somebody. This one is probably A+ to many thousands of people. If A&A followed the logic of many comments here, they would have to rate practically every song A+. That'd make the song's hardcore fans happy, but wouldn't be useful to anyone else. If all movies were rated 5 stars, then ratings wouldn't help you decide what to see. A&A are knowledgeable about music, listen to each song closely, and think through their ratings. I like hearing what they think, whether I like their rating or not.

[@williamweiss6128]

First 3 lp's were killer back then. So good. Miss it.

[@stevenhall5727]

Blue collar rock n' roll at it's finest!!!

[@MikeD_]

Fred Turner...one of the all-time great rock voices.

[@MrDeadstu]

"Lookin' Out For No.1" is a different BTO song, some exquisite guitar work.

[@darleneatkinson3906]

Andy & Alex, great LP. I bought this L.P. worn it out I play it so much on turntable. I was 17 years of age when B.T.O. released this L.P. for all of the world to hear. Great tunes. thanks for the reaction video.

[@szqsk8]

Haven’t heard this in years. Takes me back to my junior year in high school. 🤘🤘

[@josephdobesh9007]

I don't know if you guys knew this but Randy Bachman was in The Guess Who.

[@guitarexpert2245]

who?

[@tomcookman7202]

Hey guys, great song and eventually you'll have to hear Blue Collar! My personal fave BTO song with fantastic guitar work from Randy!

[@homebrew2070]

Me, my friends, in my ‘70 Roadrunner with the windows down with this blasting out of the 8-track.

[@Thejazzfan66]

These guys played straight ahead, no BS, rock….. the formula worked!!

[@Zane1962]

Being 1/3 trucker and 2/3 off mint...This is 100% S tier on a summer day with the windows down and the volume at 11!!!!

[@wards718]

Awesome Tune !!

[@clare1061]

OMGoodness I love BTO they rocked my teen years.

[@baileyride]

Definitely check out Blue Collar and Looking out for number one. Also this is a decent A+

[@willfromyadkinville]

i am so glad i never made it about race and just enjoyed the music! my record collection might make some people pass out! but i would call the paramedics for them!

[@invisibledooley]

I remember this well, the first cassette my brother had, he drove my older sister nuts with this. You might like 'Blue Collar', a more reflective, jazzy BTO track.

[@sledge57a]

As well as the other songs mentioned you need to do Blue Collar, imo one of, if not their best songs.

[@tommack9395]

Thinking back I'd say between 1973 and 1975 BTO had a ton of air-play. BTO hits which charted during those years / and the Album they were on. "Blue Collar" / Bachman Turner Overdrive "Let It Ride" / Bachman Turner Overdrive II "Takin' Care of Business" / Bachman Turner Overdrive II "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" / Not Fragile "Roll on Down The Highway" / Not Fragile "Hey You" / Four Wheel Drive "Down to the Line" / Head On "Take It Like a Man" / Head On

[@stephenmolnar3393]

Great band BTO!!! They were big back in the 70's. Going to see them in Niagara Falls, Ontario on June 13 at the new OLG theatre on their reunion tour. Saw them a few times over the years, last time was in the 90's at Melody Fair in North Tonawanda with all the original members. It was a fantastic show!!! Got to meet Randy and he signed my Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt and signed my gloss photo of him. Really nice guy!! Saw Randy with Burton Cummings do a show last summer in St. Catherines, Ontario. They performed both BTO and Guess Who songs. Saw the Guess Who at the Sars concert and a year later in Buffalo with all the original members. Another great show. Randy is a living legend!!! Thanks for listening to Roll on Down the Highway!!!

[@abc-df1vg]

This was the soundtrack to our after school street hockey games we played as kids in the 70's with the AM transistor radio blaring away. In 1984 when we just became of legal drinking age and New Wave had taken over, BTO couldn't get arrested. They played a small club in North Vancouver. We got there early and got a table literally right up against the stage. We were being served beers by waitresses and our childhood musical heroes were playing right in front of us . Fred Turner put the microphone in our faces during "Taking care of business" and we sang out the lead vocal. In the table behind us was the entire band of Loverboy and BTO hung with them during a break. Best concert experience ever.

[@rogerdodger6025]

I saw the reunited BTO at a 2000 seat club in 1985. They blew the roof off the place. They had a new album out that was good and played a few songs off of it.

[@hklinker]

@abc Sounds like you were at Whispers that night In North Van. Is that where they were playing?

[@abc-df1vg]

@@hklinker Daddy Long Legs. It was in the International Plazs hotel on Capilano and Marine drive.

[@hklinker]

@abc That’s a bizarre spot for BTO to end up at and I can see why it would be a great venue.

[@c.j.7752]

Gonna listen to this twice. Now and on the way to work.

[@c.j.7752]

I am also a trucker. This is a got to song while I am driving. Ramblin Man, not so much. Not that I dislike that song, it's just not one of my favorite Seger tunes.

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

BTO is GREAT driving music....!!

[@TheFlowNetwork]

Great tune! Driving with the windows down, this song blasting on the ol' 8-track....awesome memories! Love you guys! But now you really need to listen to THE SUPREMES. Way, way, WAY overdue. Where Did Our Love Go?

[@JaneWalters-ni7se]

I have to agree....LOVED Randy Bachman with The Guess Who. But we always called this "jock rock," along with Boston, Foreigner and Loverboy!

[@debbieplato5107]

Another banger from my hometown boys! Fred Turner on vocals. I would suggest Not Fragile from this album. Another gritty banger! Cheers from the Canadian prairies.

[@tomlafleche332]

Yet another road trip banger from BTO. You just need to remember to keep your eye on your speed when listening to or you'll find yourself doing 100+ really quick lol.

[@darrylvonrokk]

I requested this a little while back. Glad that you finally got to it.

[@user-yg6ft1iu1i]

Put it on in the car and crank it. A+. Hit “ Not Fragile “ next. Jumps to S tier and you see BTO in. Whole new light

Canadian here... see also "The Guess Who", and "Randy Bachman", for a deeper dive.✌🏼🇨🇦

[@MrScoop156]

The 1970s were a golden cornucopia of musical goodness

[@teddybissell7512]

You guys should do “Hey You” off the Four-Wheel Drive album. The song is about Randy Bachman leaving the Guess Who. He blames Burton Cummings for breaking up the group and their song writing team. Of course Burton Cummings (One of rocks best vocalist) blames Bachman.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Love this song so much. What a great driving song. For another fan favorite, check out their song Tramp. It's got this really cool circular structure going on that is so catchy.

[@jaquestraw1]

Perfect song for a Friday!
