Great picks! Happy 2024, Sam!

[@samstjohn1994]

Thanks Tommy Tutone

[@vikingbrace]

Hey Sam! Wonderful as always. I agree with 70’s. I didn’t show Blue Stingrays because I didn’t want to repeat you. Although we do both show one of the same albums in our video but for different questions. Great job!

[@samstjohn1994]

I'll have to watch yours! Thanks Gary, I don't mind matching on the Stingrays if you showed it, they aren't talked about at all!

[@beerandvinyl]

Wooohoo! Thanks for the shout out my man. Yeah, that On the Corner is out out there stuff but I love it. As the Americana prince of the VCLT, I don't think anyone is surprised or disappointed with you picking the USA. Late for the Sky is so good and mayyyybe my favorite - Before the Deluge and For a Dancer are two of my favorite JB songs. And of course, cheers to the Zombie Zoo, which always puts a smile on my face. Great response Sam!

[@samstjohn1994]

"You look like Boris Karloff, and you don't even care," great line. Before the Deluge is heartbreaking haha. Thanks Alex, glad to call you a friend.

[@darcyska]

Great entry for the tag! Mine should be done for this coming weekend.

[@samstjohn1994]

Thanks!

[@RandyforRoyals]

Hi Sam. It's nice that we matched on the Dylan and Herb Alpert picks. Now the Van instrumental album is the only one of his that I am missing. There were so many important musical artists that passed away this past year, Gordon was certainly one that I will miss. Great 1974 showing.

[@samstjohn1994]

Thanks Randy, I know the preorder is available now for the instrumental record. Thanks for matching haha.

[@jasonarsenault3791]

Full moon fever. It’s so good. As usual. Showing me all the artists I need to be listening to 😉 Appreciate the shout out. And yes, Steve’s tribute to you was next level content😂. All the very best my friend. Go buy a record.

[@samstjohn1994]

I can't buy more! Haha. You deserve the shout, no go make a video!

[@jackgop7966]

Love that oasis album too their debut is just as good sometimes even better on some days with that amazing song "live forever"

[@samstjohn1994]

I agree, Rock n Roll Star is so good, so is Cigarettes and Alcohol.

[@rallstonianmusicreport1975]

Hi Sam, nice job on the vinyl tag video! The Van Morrison albums look like a good listening to. I had to pause the video a couple of times because I wanted to go listen to Molly Tuttle and The Devil Makes Three. I'm going to explore more of their music, so thanks for the nonrecommendation recommendation. Anthony is definitely a cool dude. I got to meet him and MGK Boston at a record show here in MA last summer. Hoping to hang out with them again in the future. Once again, awesome job on the vinyl tag. I hope 2024 is off to a great start for you. Best, Steve

[@samstjohn1994]

Very cool that you got to meet those guys! Hopefully I'll get up there soon. Devil Makes 3 are on my concert bucket list. Thanks for swinging by!

[@alltheworldsastage899]

70's is the decade. I think Bob has been the #1 answer. Dinner for 4: Bob was a given, thought for sure one of the other picks would've been me or Petty. Great guys, great shout outs! And thanks for the video shout out. This is a rather unique video, in that there was no mention of Marcia P.....

[@samstjohn1994]

Hahahah no mention of Marcia on this one. Thanks Steve, I've noticed a Bob trend too.

[@RacerRecords]

Great stuff Sam! This Tag has been so great to help meet all these great new people I have. That is a killer case on the box set! I somehow along the line, have a mast a fairly decent stones collection without even trying, but that’s not a bad thing. I went with 10 cc but I thought about going with the monkeys because Peter Tork for a brief period of time lived in the house across the street from us, not well. I lived in this house, but his house was across the street from mine :-) Love that Stingrays cover! And the Dirty Knobs. Wow shout out to The Statler Brothers nice! Good three choices for channels, all new folks I have become acquainted with, this tag has been awesome for that. That’s is great artwork on the funk/Jazz I am still 100% on having the albums that everybody has, I am also 100% on not having the albums no one has :-) Molly sounds interesting. That is a classic! Cool cover for Old Crow The Tom Petty was in my stack, but Steve Earle went out slightly. Only, only because I had shown a Tom Petty earlier as my favourite purchase of 2023 full moon fever I must do I must’ve listened to about 1572 times so far love it!! Again great stuff Sam I will Look for previous videos and look forward to future content.

[@samstjohn1994]

Thanks Racer, and cool Peter Tork story! Glad to have you along for the ride. Check out Molly Tuttle, she had a Covid covers album that's very good!

[@beatlebrad5339]

Hi Sam, great thread that was started!! You did show some great stuff for this video!! MM I do thing you did pick a good year. O yes don't forget Disco lol. I have seen that one by Davey and I do want to get that on Vinyl!!! Great 45's too!!! Us Us dose have som good Music too lol!!! Cool Abby Road You are right no I don't have that one of Michael lol!!! Good video and hi Tommy lol Have a great weekend!!!

[@samstjohn1994]

That Davy record is on some really cool colored vinyl Brad. Thanks for swinging by!

[@beatlebrad5339]

@@samstjohn1994 I think I will go and look for it 😃. Have a great weekend to and God bless!!!!!

[@EmbryonicRobot]

I really like the sound of your dinner party. I don''t have a copy of Herb Alpert! I agree about Full Moon Fever.

[@samstjohn1994]

Thanks Brian, hope they're treating you well down south

[@AnthonyGambler812]

Great job Sam! That Petty really is like a Greatest hits! Looking forward to watching a FULL year of your content! Thanks a bunch for the shoutout! It’s much appreciated buddy! God Bless! 👊🏻

[@samstjohn1994]

Absolutely, you deserve it man. I know Full Moon Fever like the back of my hand.

[@ShamrocknRecords]

I haven’t picked up any of the new Van records from this year. I do want the Skiffle record but I’m scared of the others. I should probably stream them. You like them? Great Tag!! Cheers☘️

[@samstjohn1994]

You need them, they're just Van doing really solid covers, though the Skiffle album is my favorite of the three. Thanks Brian!

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Killer video brother

[@samstjohn1994]

Thanks Josh!

[@whatthejim]

Great response, you chose some real great artists to have at your dinner party. I knew you would go with the USA instead of the UK but that’s ok, you were born and raised in America!

[@samstjohn1994]

Hey Adam, I just thought the US would have more variety. Country, blues, Rock, americana. I appreciate you watching!

[@MGKBOSTON]

Sam, that John Prine is some cool packaging. I knew you were going to say Bob Dylan to the "most listened to" question. "One good reason" is one of Bryan Adams's best singles. Your dinner party sounds more mellow than mine. 😂 That Miles Davis album is far out, just like you said. I've probably never mentioned Tom Petty but have the first 6 albums. ✌

[@samstjohn1994]

You should mention Petty in 2024 haha. Miles was far out at times to say the least. Thanks Mike!

[@benrankins4446]

There are so many of these and I've finally to you. I've said it before, but that box set is so cool! I've got On The Corner so I probably should get that "extras" right? I reckon there's several Tom Petty records that plays literally like greatest hits. Man he had some great and successful singles. Great response mate. Cheers...Ben

[@samstjohn1994]

Hey Ben! The On the Corner extras are fun, especially if you like the original album. Tom Petty, in my eyes, never had a bad tune. See you soon!

[@benrankins4446]

@@samstjohn1994 Agreed! Buying those two box sets of all of his albums a few years back would have to in my top 10 best purchases.

[@marciap-vc]

Nice video Sam.

[@samstjohn1994]

Thanks Marcia!

Hope youre cold goes away....
