Let's hope that isn't her on the Billy ldol song! :)
I Love A Man In A Uniform- Gang Of Four
Sorry, l meant that there is no Ange or Atoll on Spotify:)
I Love You Miss Robot - Buggles
Speaking of more French butchery, l remember when Billy Idol's Eyes Without A Face came out everyone thought the girl singing the title in French ("Les yeux sans visage") was actually singing "As you...
Oh yes, that is absolutely true. I should have clarified in my subject line that l was talking about their lyrical perspective.
I will throw in a few of my favorites:
Message - From Books And Dreams
Gift - Blue Apple
Neuschwanstein - Battlement
Grobschnitt - Rockpommel's Land, and Solar Music (live)
I remember an ever-so-hip DJ coming in at the end of that in 1980 and saying "Oo, yes she is, isn't she?".
I was 15 and had the lyric sheet, so l wondered what he thought "she" was "so". (That is...
A belated RIP to Bobby Haumer, who released a pretty great album in 1971 as "Zakarrias" (with Peter Robinson on keyboards). He passed on June 25, 2021 at 72.
It is a shame that so many artists we...
Hey Steve, hope you are doing well.
I should mention that l am referring mainly to the "classic" 5 albums, and Sounds Like This (a visual reference in "Good Day").
But, there are only a couple of...
Cool to see name checks of Tai Phong and Albert Marcoeur ("the French Zappa").
Another notable omission is one of my favorites, Mahjun. Their 1975 debut and 1977's "Happy French Band" are both on...
I have been a Nektar freak since around 1977. It's bizarre to me that after hundreds of hours of listening to, and singing along with Nektar albums, l am just noticing that in almost every song there...
Yeah, add that last one (with correct title) :)
[QUOTE=walt;1234005]RIP Jimmy Hastings(1938-2024).Master of sax and flute,his playing graced numerous Canterbury and related musics.He also released albums of 'straight ahead' modern jazz.
Also,...
[QUOTE=polmico;1233137]Danny Carey of Tool.
I was kinda hoping it was Tony Carey :)
His version of Sabbath's War Pigs is not to be missed.
It is also worthwhile to mention that half of Bootcut is Rikard Sjoblom of Beardfish and Big Big Train fame. Some folks ought to be inclined to check them out purely based on that.
A couple others perhaps worthy of mention would be Peter Lloyd, who did the most noteworthy Kansas covers, and definitely James Marsh, whose work for Talk Talk is magnificent, and as tied to the band...
I don't think it is any more complicated than just a "corrective" that occurs in the industry marketplace every few years that seems to be based around what the music consumer perceives as...
Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band =
Crap LP sung by the LSD-prone Beatles
RIP Steve Lawrence. 88.
I have a copy of their very first vinyl-only EP that Tommy Atkins gave me, "The Man With The Lamp". I never played it but I've heard it...unfortunately l can't recommend this one.
Wow, two people who like Jim Flora? That is fantastic :)
Another great Ft. Worth band to check out is Yeti...get their disc Things To Come which I think came out in 2002. Great Zeuhly-type stuff, as you might imagine from the band name. Two members, Doug...
Well, Steven collaborated on a song with Paul Draper (ex-Mansun...SW is their other fan aside from me) on Paul's album Cult Leader Tactics, which assuredly did not make him a penny.
So, assuming he...
Hey everyone, just a heads-up to let anyone interested know that I found a couple of handfuls of RR's "The Foul-Tempered Clavier" and also several copies of Volare's terrific CD "Memoirs..." (both...
I still maintain that in another song he is singing "Bad Venison". :)
A band who is overlooked here, perhaps because of their name, l suppose. Anyone here that remembers them might remember the album/title track 'The Plague' which is how I found them. That is a pretty...
I did not see anyone mention the indispensable, self-titled album by Dave Lawson's band Samurai. Seems to be a lost classic. It stands up to anything listed here!
Jesus Christ. Some lineup. I think my head would explode if I went to this. Incredibly reasonable pass prices too.
My older brother had a couple of gems:
"Bingo Jet With A Light On" (Jet Airliner by Steve Miller), and
"When Tookie's stoned, Tookie lies" (the first line of Somebody To Love by Jefferson...
Until a few years ago I thought Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue" was "Tiger Lovin' Blues". I like mine better. And you are welcome, that is what you will hear every time you listen to it from now on. ...
'Twas me. And I did have my dates mixed up, it was With The Beatles released on 11/22/63.
I am getting to the age where I shouldn't be pulling Beatle trivia out of my increasingly unreliable...
And amazingly Meet The Beatles was released in the US on November 22, 1963. If that is not cosmic circumstance at work I don't know what is.
I've checked out your playlist and IMO the net you have thrown out is a bit too wide, by including Return To Forever, Chicago, Grand Funk (?), Marshall Tucker Band (?), and many others.
A great...
...so you can't listen to anything produced by Bob Ezrin. :D
That God-awful keyboard sound that Lyle Mays was overly fond of, that sounded like a pan flute.
Pretty sure they have his age wrong, I don't think he started working for Rush when he was 8.
Also missing is St. Louis-area band Surprise from 1977. Their sole album was added to Spotify this past December.
I agree that this is the likely reason. My friend Jay and I went up to Nashville to a couple of Echolyn's As The World recording sessions. The producer, Glenn Rosenstein, made a master of the album...
^^ Mine is people who say "I'm the world's worst procrastinator", when they actually mean they are the world's BEST procrastinator.
^^ I was about to say that most people here would know him from Dr. Tarr & Professor Feather and Stereotomy. He also sang lead on Shadow of a Lonely Man, the last track on Pyramid.
RIP Melinda Wilson, wife of Brian Wilson. 77. Credited with saving his life and sanity. Hoping he can weather this loss.
<quote>What is the shortest prog album you know of?
My buddy Bob Lord from Dreadnaught has an album out made up of 7 songs, the whole album is 49 seconds long. That is pretty hard to beat.
...
Oh, snap!
Actually IMO there is some good stuff on that album, but I am a Roye Albrighton fanatic...
"Sounds Like This?" That was a double album.
If memory serves most of the 70s Nektar studio albums come in at around 33 minutes and are generally perfect, in my opinion. Nick Drake's Pink Moon is 28 minutes. Also a perfect record. I wouldn't...
After reading this l did give it some thought.
If Alex can still play after his surgery, in addition to his arthritis, l could see this having some legs, without out-and-out calling it Rush.
Let's...
Always too humble to pat myself on the back (HAR!) but l was the initial contact with Rikard and carried on most of the negotiations with him, always with Michael's oversight and approval.
And such...
Nice to hear that Beardfish might be getting back together. Won't be an autobuy for me though. I got into them and was blown away by their first album ("From A Place You Cannot See"), and was...
Pye Fyte is a great 'lost' album.
Just a couple extra comments...this band was fantastic before and after the involvement of David Roback who had already left the band before they got any national traction. In 'prog' terms his...
David Roback left the band 40 years ago, everything they did subsequent to that was without his input. Explosions In The Glass Palace is especially great.
