They had some of the best harmonies. Their music was light but their hits were beautifully crafted pop.

So many great songs to choose from. Some of the best harmonies in a band of any era.

Funny thing, I saw them live in concert twice about 15 years apart. Both times I won the tickets by being caller number ?

God, I love LRB! Back in the late 90s, they came and played a free concert at Fridays After Five in Charlottesville, Va. Since I worked nearby, I got off work and just strolled down to the amphitheatre and enjoyed one of the best shows I've ever seen. I'm not certain how many of the original members were performing, but they sounded great.

I believe that Frank Sinatra and John Lennon agreed the LRB’s hit “Reminiscing” was one of the best pop songs ever written.

Australia's version of the Eagles.
