Ruthless Queen is from Kayak's Phantom Of The Night LP - a guilty
pleasure of mine for decades! Think progessive with very strong
pop-like melodies

Excellent info - thanks Clive! - I liked Camel in their Snow Goose

Should I get the couple of DVDs they made live ? I see also two CDs:
Live in Panama and Live @amazon. What would you advise ?
I think Live is very old and their 2nd album. I don't think either of
those have

That's where it's over the line for me... not like it at all! The band
was called George Baker Selection. The Cats are the same genre but I
can stand them somewhat more... how about Pussycat anyone? In 1975
