Any fans? What albums are the ones to get?
True, but Rune was calling them talentless with no personality. People don't get to be as big as Oasis without some talent and/or personality. It doesn't even have to be musical talent but it takes...
Or perhaps you're just jealous of their success.
I'm not a fan, but give credit where credit is due. They were a band that made it big and they made it happen. They didn't just wake up one day on...
I went there probably for the last time yesterday. I filmed a bit for commemoration.

Unfortunately I'm old school, I don't use Spotify. :( But your label will know.
By any chance was there also a wet T-shirt contest happening at the same venue?
OK. Wow (looking at your Facebook page). I see you are that Flash. Cool!
As you are an established 'classic rock era' act I don't think you have anything to worry about people stealing your music...
Downloading from Youtube is so 5 years ago. Who does that now?
If your music is up there you have a number of options available to you —
1. Have it removed.
2. I think you can slap some...
I didn't realize MC Hammer was prog.

LOL! Some funny comments:
Modern techno top is not so different from what was happening in the '80s. Here's a particularly repetitive one:

I was more disturbed by the back up dancers than the song in this vid. It's typical of the anthemic techno pop/R&B style that's been around for over a decade and a half. Vocally it's strong, which is...
I bought a collection like that from Zoogz Rift about 10 years ago. It's got most of his albums on 2 CDRs, but in poor SQ 128 ~ 192mp3.
I don't know when it started, but I'd say it's become a lot worse since 'cut & paste' songwriting became possible in the '90s. It's an easy way to bang out dozens of 'songs' without any effort.
I...
I have a regular CD that is 86 minutes long. It's prog of course!

Pat seems to know something about it.

Make that were. The Japanese music market has mostly been a closed one for decades now, though they do well in Asia where their songs are covered in other Asian languages, like Korean, for example. J...

Any opinions on Turning Stones?
Yes that too. But brickwalling is also ruining many remasters.
Case by case. A lot of metal was poorly recorded and drenched in reverb in the '80s and indie act recordings sounded mirky. Some of these acts benefited from better production in the '90s. For...
Twisted Sister rerecorded Stay Hungry in 2004. Released as Still Hungry.
Chris Rea's best of albums are mostly re-recorded versions of his hits.
She looks super hot here.

Put me down as another who thinks Three Sides sounds great.
Any fans?
Her albums have an element of prog to them. I only have two so far — Welcome To The Cruise and I Am The Phoenix. Both are good.

I only have After the Snow. It's a pretty good album. Heavy Joy Division influence, but not a carbon copy — they are a lot more upbeat. One of the many great bands of that period. :up
Picked up the Interpose+ 2005 album today. It's a good one.
What? No Carmen Maki & Oz?
I went there today. They were playing Ashra Temple over the sound system. :)
It's a very odd exhibit to be bang smack in the middle of a major tourist attraction. In fact, it was empty at first...
Huh? Another completely random list of 'bands I don't like'.
I picked up the first album today for a couple of bucks. I'm finding it a bit tuneless though.
I think a lot of people are judging them on their early shock rock image and are failing to give them a chance. The Crimson Idol and The Headless Children have so many prog elements, if it wasn't for...
Wow, proggers really seem to hate W.A.S.P ... and this is despite the good response to the hair metal thread. I would say W.A.S.P are way better than most hair bands. The Crimson Idol and The...
Easy. Mason Proffit. Picked up this double years ago on vinyl. Stone Cold Classic.

This Godz album is also...
Yes, Hair Metal was somewhat cheesy, but I don't think prog fans are in a position to point fingers.
Atrocious 'lyrics'. If this is the best rap and hip hop can offer in this day and age, then I'm out. But I'm sure the 14 year olds will lap this stuff up. Give me Gil Scott Heron any day. His 'raps'...
Dream Evil is a great album. Love it! I love the first 2 Rainbow albums too.
You certainly did your homework. I'd totally forgotten about that Kichijoji store. I usually just go to disk union when I go to Kichijoji.
'Compact' would be a better word ... for J shops in...
Cool. Unfortunately I'll be working those dates. I would have loved to see you play. :(
I know the bases and some people who work there or have connections, but I've never been there myself to date....
Are you playing here?
I go there almost every week. :)
BTW, there is only one floor of prog (basement actually). In the same area there are several shops dedicated to different kinds of music. Besides the prog store,...
I'm a fan of checking out bands on Bandcamp, mostly prog/jazz related bands, and find production and recording varies greatly from band to band. Compression is very common, but for the most part not...
Wow. I live in Tokyo and I've never heard of this. Guess where I'll be going next weekend? :D
I think that's a metal album.

I'm perhaps the opposite. I used to be a 5 star only guy, but now that I have 'completed' my 'must have' collection most of my listening now is exploring the '80s, '90s and obscure recent bands. I...
I'm not so sure any 'person' actually reads the complaints. They must get thousands a day. I wouldn't be surprised if the replies are automated.
I'm taking about already existing abuse. It's a bit late to say that to people already having problems.
I received a bullshit answer back from facebook:
This has nothing to do with me, but I'm mad. Someone needs to start a class action suit against that abomination of a site. So much abuse is...
Still on PE 2.0.
I rather like Kittie. Girl group that mixes growl and pop vocals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHNUv1MSR0I
This tune has growl vocals in the back under the pop vocals.

Facebook is a disgrace.
I reported it for you.

My favorite kind. :D

Here's a good one: Gong — Squeezing Sponges over Policemen's Heads 0:13 along with Wet Cheese Delirium 0:29
But one might argue that humor excerpts are essential to the Gong experience.
I think most posters are getting away from the OPs original intentions for this thread.
A good example might be those conversation excerpts on Uncle Meat — they're not music and don't need to be...
:huh
I thought they were an R&B act.
