Pluto (1971) Rag A Bone Joe

This has a novelty pop song feel with it's downtrodden title character it contains some melodic good feeling 70s rock. Great lines such as 'the most he can boast is a weekend at the coast' and 'It doesn't matter what you say, I wish I could be that way'. Whether a tribute or a put down of the lead character makes it interesting but the band's 1971 debut album didn't contain enough memorable songs to generate enough interest. But still Pluto remain an underrated, funky hard rock group with some power pop Badfinger vibe that never unfortunately went stratospheric.
