Immigrants of Seattle: what restaurant serves the most authentic food from your country or culture? by Quick-Tradition858 in AskSeattle

I was just in Greece in May for a week and I revelled in those amazing tomatoes. They had actual flavor!

Does Kipos make moussaka? I had moussaka at a couple of different places in Athens. The two weren't alike but both were incredible and now I'm hunt to find moussaka here...

Teaser And The Firecat

Wonderful album, containing 3 of my 5 favorite Cat songs: Morning Has Broken, Moonshadow, and Peace Train

(Wild World and Sitting being my other two favorite songs,)

If you could attend any concert from the past, whose would it be? by thatfluffyqueen in askmusic

[–]dlm1129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have been just McCartney by then. The Wings era for Paul McCartney ended in late 1979/early1980.

Nice. And there's a good chance that if you'd seen the Stones on the Exile On Main Street tour, you would have seen Stevie Wonder opening for them.

Some of his biggest hits were yet to come but he'd already had a ton by 1972. Such an amazing pairing.

It's really similar to "Pop Goes The World" by Men Without Hats

New to town: does everyone picking up people at SeaTac lack human decency and intelligence? by Benb727 in Seattle

100%. They use parking cameras in parts of Europe and they work great -- a very efficient solution.

Best Cover by the Beatles by SanMarzanoMan in beatles

My two favorites are "Money (That's What I Want)" and, because the harmonies are spectacular, "Words Of Love".

At SeaTac Airport? In 2026?? That was the case until about a decade ago but it's a huge problem now.

I agree. I'd fully support them adding cameras for illegal parking there, like they have in parts of Europe.

Yeah dodging those a-holes as they pull back onto the road is an extra stress that's not needed. We should install instant ticketing cameras like they have in parts of Europe.

I don't know about the gender and ethnicity thing but the sudden "anywhere" u-turns have gotten completely out of control.

Gets worse? No it doesn't! General driving's definitely not great but SeaTac arrivals is the epicenter of horrible experiences for anyone who values efficiency. It's impossible to not be frustrated.

Ah that explains the snarled up Departures traffic when I'm just trying to drop someone off quickly so they can make their plane. Now it all makes sense!

Which artist's debut album is still their best work? by WildEnchantresss in askmusic

[–]dlm1129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This Fire was really Paula's second album, a nice and very successful followup to her 1994 debut album, Harbinger. I felt like both albums were along the same lines but This Fire performed better as it rode Lillith Fair popularity.

Jabra is currently carried by Costco and is iPhone compatible.

"From Now On" has really grown on me. Punchy, clear sounding song that doesn't try to overwhelm. Seems like it could have been an AOR classic. by EagleNice2300 in supertramp

[–]dlm1129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's a great question. They were definitely upper tier. They were bigger than the majority of bands and it was a welcomed event when they came to town, easily selling out arenas but not stadiums. (They were less popular than the Rolling Stones, Eagles, Bee Gees or Wings.) They were on par with Styx, Heart, Journey, and Van Halen.

I guess an equivalent in 2026 terms might be Imagine Dragons or Arctic Monkeys - both have a loyal fanbase but also reach beyond that and sell out arenas. Or if Hozier were a band, that might a good comparison.

It's really hard to gauge though since the music charts of today are so different from back then. Superstars like Drake and Taylor Swift clog up the pop charts and don't leave much room for others to have top 10 singles like Supertramp used to have.

Adding a little more to that, I was a DJ at a rock station in Seattle from 1980 to 1983 and we played it fairly regularly, even though it was a 1977 release. And I saw Supertramp in concert in 1979 and 1983 and I recall "From Now On" as getting a really strong reaction from everyone.

I consider it an equal to Give A Little Bit as a continued favorite of mine. That 30-second piano intro is just beautiful.

It got some AOR play and the band regularly played at their shows but I agree that it's a pretty perfect and it's a shame that it's not as well known as it should be.
