She looked great in a Dodger jacket and roller skates as I recall.

Late to the party but I do thank you for Linda’s Hurt So Bad…I think I played the grooves off of my record

I’m a huge Ronstadt fan. I wouldn’t go so far as to claim she can do know wrong (her first three “standards” albums are mediocre at best), but over a very long and varied career, she has made very few if any truly bad records (the same cannot be said for Barbra Streisand). While I respect your Ronstadt Top Three, here are mine:

Long, Long Time
Willin’
Down So Low

In fifth/sixth grade – around the time of Mad Love – a teacher asked our class what all boys wanted (I don’t recall the context). My friend Tim replied, “Linda Ronstadt.”

Those are three good ones, but I’d have to drop one of them for “Long, Long Time.”

From the same period, Love is a Rose and Willin’ are both worthy of consideration, but who can argue with any Zevon cover.

Never knew about the new wave attempt in ‘80! I just remember her quote about the Ramones, something along the lines of: they sound constipated! I agree with your choices for the most part, but would probably choose Blue Bayou over Hurts so Bad.

Nice top threes. A fan of Warron Zevon, so maybe that’s why I’m always so drawn to “Poor Poor Pitiful Me” all the time. Keep up the quality blog.
