This cd rocks. I have to say that G.I. Joe is the bomb. Don't believe me, listen to it for yourself. Love these guys!

Stay Tuned is a high-energy trio whose sound belies the size of the group. Led by Matt Krahlman on keyboards and keytar (!!!) the band powers its way through songs whose merit you’d never expect. Their spirit pays homage to bands as wide-ranging as Rush, Nirvana, Metallica and Yes, creating musical rollercoaster rides that are unique and exhiliarating. Who knew that the theme song to that pinnacle of 80s television, “Charles in Charge,” was so very catchy? From the first bars, “The Jeffersons” takes us back to those happy evenings on the couch, watching Sherman Helmsley bounce off the walls. The band’s playful reworkings of such classics as “G.I. Joe” and “Silver Spoons” make us realize that those were the golden years of T.V. show themes, a previously untapped genre of material whose tribute by Stay Tuned is richly deserved.

Deducted a star for Mr. Rogers in the first slot. I'm not drunk enough to really appreciate it at first position.
Otherwise this cd is very bad ass. Don't expect cheesy comedy remakes of old tv themes. Oh no. These guys rock out (or reggae out) these songs, in some cases remaking them completely (like Silver Spoons). They even get creative and throw in classic tunes in the middle (GI Joe has Wayward Son by Kansas suddenly, and it makes total sense.) Must hear.

Really good stuff and well-produced. Worth the money. I'd love to see them live.
