[punkfolkrocker: with his serious head on for a few moments]

I've mention before on mudcat how much I love "The Archies";

manufactured bubblegum pop perfection churned out on the factory production line
by some of the cream of late 60's USA commercial song writers
studio producers, session singers & musicians.

Even the LP filler tracks and B sides are timeless pop music
instant acting maximum effect anti depressants.

I rate The Archies high up there with The Turtles, Monkees & Lovin' Spoonful.

Maybe occasionally since the glories of UK glam rock
maybe, just maybe, during the last 35 years
isolated pop singles almost as good as the vintage golden era classics emerge
to brighten up a a few short minutes of day to day modern alienation & misery.
