I can certainly understand someone not liking C.A. Quintet, but the LP really doesn't sound like anything else from the period and that puts it in a special category. The sleeve goes a long way toward "explaining" the music in the overall presentation. The phased drum solo is both laughable and inspiring. I really think their underrated stuff is the early 45s like "Mickey's Monkey", an oft covered tune but man what a guitar break! I love the Music Emporium dearly, though it seems to turn a lot of folk off. I guess it's that "churchiness" or something. However, I totally agree with you about Exile on Main St. A fine rock record but something like the Flamin' Groovies 'Flamingo' cuts it to shreds...KI

Wayne,
Aw go ahead! You write really well and I would personally enjoy reading you put McKay and anything else, regardless of what I think, through the TV shredder and I'd get a kick out of reading it; the kick would be dimished a bit if every overrated record was one that I put out, but come on... do it.
