So, are you suggesting I don't know what I'm talking about? Or that the Tour de France vinyl album on my shelf doesn't exist?

Anyway, well worth listening to. Highly recommended.

Had to look this up at Wikipedia. I wasn't aware that they finally included Tour De France on an album...TWENTY YEARS after they originally recorded it! I kinda lost track of what was going on with Kraftwerk after Electric Café.

Maiden: The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner

[bill g]

I suppose these:

Caravan - Golf Girl
Yes - Going For The One
Ethos - Marathon Man

far from favorite songs from their respective albums.

If I could choose 'Traveling' by the band 'Tennis' I would, but the song is not about basketball or tennis

Read his autobiography recently and yes, he did think he might have a future in it at one point in his life. According to the book he has continued to play in pick up / club games throughout his life.

Oh, how could I have forgotten "Windsurfer" by Roy Orbison?

A bit of a stretch this one:

I'm reading The Amazing Hockey Quiz Book that a friend gave me, and there's this question: "Which Tragically Hip song immortalizes the 1951 overtime Stanley Cup-winner goal scored by the Maple Leafs' Bill Barilko?"
