have we really never polled the mamas and the papas?

Blows my mind there’s never been a biopic; supposedly Cass used to wake the other three up some mornings by spraying liquid LSD in their mouths. I went with I Saw Her Again.

This was probably my favourite Behind The Music episode ever;

I still know little about their personal history and maybe this isn't the place for it, but anyone know more about the incest allegation? Is it likely it's true or is it impossible to know?

Phillips was a dick.

They were all having affairs with each other long before Fleetwood Mac thought of doing the same thing.

Holy crap

Is it likely it's true or is it impossible to know?

Various family members and acquaintances have come out on either side of the allegations. There's going to be little effort to investigate accusations against a dead man.

Does that Behind the Music episode contain the anecdote where Michelle gets tossed from the group for drawing a portrait of her lover Gene Clark on her husband's hand in Magic Marker while he slept?

I don't.. think so but it's been ages since i saw it.

creeque alley, i saw her again, california dreaming so many good ones

my fave is 12:30 but still so much good shit yo choose from w/out it

california dreaming might be it?
those fucking harmonies are so sick

Creeque Alley is an earworm but I can't get past John's digs at Cass.

those fucking harmonies are so sick

I agree with the intended compliment, but man does that phrase take on an unfortunate truth...

gross

i take it back

it has to be California Dreamin tho

Michelle Phillips is lovely.

Tempted to vote for Once Was a Time I Thought. A fast delight, and not really like anything else they ever did.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Michelle Phillips is lovely.

Yeah, but

Their version of Do You Wanna Dance is my absolute favorite version of that song. Go Where You Wanna Go also stone classic in addition to the hits. I love this group for road trips, nostalgia.

OK, so how come I never knew Michelle Phillips was married to Dennis Hopper... for 8 days!

Man, when being married to Michelle Phillips for eight days is merely an obscure footnote to your life story...

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

went to st Thomas years ago for work and despite being v familiar w Creeque Alley from years of oldies radio, didn’t know until a couple of years later they actually parked it there for a minute. sounds grooovy!

“Strange Young Girls” is one of their more interesting tracks, sort of baroque psych, a b-side of “For the Love of Ivy,” their last all-new single.

I’m more convinced than ever that their best tunes are

California Dreamin’
Creeque Alley
Twelve Thirty
Safe in My Garden

This could have been titled POLLin' in the Street
