Maybe Dakoda Motor Co (always liked those first two albums, even after Peter King yelled at me online). VOL (yeah, a lot of baggage...)?

I'm trying to think of other bands to do.... Whiteheart, the 77's, Daniel Amos, Mortal/Fold Zandura, maybe The Prayer Chain/Cush. Any others that I'm missing, Jerry? I guess I could do The Violet Burning, but they still seem like an "active band" to me. I knew Jerry was going to disagree on all of my picked tracks! I’m trying to think of other bands to do….

Needs an editing pass, especially for various forms of the the word "Michael." :-) And not that you asked, but...I don't love the 10 tracks, though - it's a noble goal to include stuff from the later albums, but the live album and _Free Flying Soul_ are best forgotten, and even the best stuff from the last two don't measure up to _Chase the Kangaroo_, _Wide Eyed Wonder_, and _Circle Slide_. (Oh, "Love Your Mind" is about as far from a representative Choir track as you can get, I think. Not Hindie's finest hour.) JRjr Good idea, and a nice writeup.
