I know a couple of the guys in Mover and they're both really cool, but musically of little interest to the majority of this list. Unless of course Country-Rock is your thang. Personally I can deal with a LITTLE bit of later Byrds/ Graham Parsons type, but find much of it to be too hokey. I think I liked Mover better when they were somewhere between Big Star and later Small Faces. Where's Don Henley when you need him?
