Friday Playlist: Look out baby, there's a plane incoming!

The Move "were among the most popular British bands to not find any success in the US" (ref: Ricky P. Deya). It's not strictly true; the band did find considerable success, but they had to change their name to ELO and ease visionary freak Roy Wood out of the band. This set in motion (oh!) events that would lead to the upsetting 1981 release "Hooked On Classics".



This playlist is roughly in reverse chronological order, beginning with the cowbell-enhanced B-side of their final single, and ending with the A-side of their 2nd. Like you care. The important thing is that while there are many Move compilations, this playlist is better if only because it covers their whole career (the band switched labels so their "best ofs" tend to be incomplete). It also isn't called something like "Great Move!" either.
