When I played "Grazing in the Grass" for my wife she thought he was covering the Friends of Distinction. Real story. Love Hugh on SYWTBARARS by the Byrds.
Maybe their worst Dylan cover.
I like Kiln House! But a little goes a long way, I understand.
I remember that because they were my favorite band at the time. I think it was to the tune of Over, Under, Sideways, Down. They also did one for MacLean's "the toothpaste that cleans" that I think...
Nils Lofgren does a great stripped down version.
Not to mention saving on production costs and studio time.
Heard stuff on samplers and dug it. Couldn't figure out where I could get their albums and never did.
He definitely plays bass on "Three Button Hand Me Down" on the Faces' first album.
I feel the same.
Axe Victim leans in a glam direction but with each successive album those elements fade a bit.
The first song on BeBop Deluxe's Futurama always struck me as a poor choice.
I haven't listened to all the albums, but Chronomotree (SP??) and Shadowlands were two of the first CDs I bought at the turn of the century when I was getting acclimated to all of the old and new...
I love Be Bop Deluxe. In fact, they are one of my top ten favorite bands. Futurama, Sunburst Finish, Modern Music, and Live in the Air Age are all great, and Drastic Plastic and Axe Victim have their...
Side Two has the "Have You Heard" suite which is them at heir most proto-progressive. I like "Never Comes the Day" and "Are You Sitting Comfortably?" as well. This may be my favorite Moodies (this or...
Danny Kirwan era Fleetwood Mac has many but "Earl Gray" and "Sunny Side of Heaven" come to mind. "Earl Grey" is almost proto-Hackett.
Soul Searchin' on "An American Band" is pretty heavy.
King Kong
I agree that they can be quite moving at times. Things like "Dirty Work" the above mentioned "Katy Lied (Dr. Wu)" and even "Barrytown" and "My Old School" manage to have some emotional resonance that...

I only had to drive across the Bay but was disappointed. I was SOOO lucky that I had seen them on the Black Sea tour. They were great live.
I like the lyrics of "Mad Man Moon"!
I went Sunday night. Took the wife. Great experience. She didn't like Nad especially but I thought he was okay. I mean, he's singing the parts of two iconic singers. That's a tough job! He wasn't as...
Everything (almost) on Odessey & Oracle.
Circus by Argent (great intro).
Mellotron Choir on Cinema Show (Second's Out).
Mellotron flute on O Caroline by Matching Mole.
I like Ange but I was under...
Good for Steve!!! The Warfield's great and closer to BART. I'm pumped!
It's pretty great, but a hard sell for my friends!
It's long! Maybe too much of a good thing?
I'll try to do this chronologically, but I may be off. I don't know if they are life-changing as much as having maximum musical impact on me
Revolver -- I can still remember the day I heard this....
Even my wife likes Part 2 of "I Am the Sun".
Roger Nichols and the Small Circle of Friends
Hackett era Genesis. If you count the Moodies as prog. loves them. A little ELP (loves "Lucky Man"). A little Crimson ("Court" [the song], "Cadence and Cascade", "I Talk to the Wind"...you get the...
I thought "Space Oddity" was the Bee Gees for the longest time.
I agree with this entirely.
Four holes in the ground by Pfm opening for Welch's fleetwood Mac at Chico St. Never heard of them before. Never forgot them after. They became my favorite band. Saw them the next week at Winterland...
Peter Frampton -- Frampton's Camel
Humble Pie -- Rock On
Genesis -- W&W
Hackett -- Defector
Gentle Giant -- Free Hand
PFM -- Passpartu (I'm in the minority, I know)
Ange -- Par Les Fils De...
Oh, and thanks for posting this. I would have never known otherwise. I saw Hackett on the Spectral Mornings tour decades ago but I'll get to go to this show with my wife. Hackett and Gabriel-era...
They went on sale this morning at 10:00 and were already 2/3 sold out. But I got mine. So awesome.
I totally agree that his voice worked against their commercial aspirations even though I can deal with it, personally.
I laughed out loud about ten times. Not at the Clapton crack, though.
I saw the Jam 4 times. First saw them when they opened for Be Be Deluxe (!) at Winterland. They made an immediate impact because they were melodic. Starting with "All Mod Cons" they really became...
I don't want to hijack this thread or weigh it down with negativity but I have always felt this way about Paul Cook and IQ. I feel even more strongly now after I picked up "Ever" which really stands...
I never thought much about obscure Canadian rock before now and I never want to again! Talk about hijacking a thread!
I keep coming here every time there's a new post hoping to see that he's added a Bay Area date! LOL
Man I forgot about that song. It was great. An FM radio staple.
I keep dreaming he'll add a show.
Proto-ELO!
I also really disagree with the Be Bop Deluxe suggestion.
Mott the Hoople -- Don't agree with that one at all. Their Columbia albums are their best
I disagree about PFM. At least the second one is equal if not better and a could build an argument for...
I agree. Very disappointing since I came to it late and many said it was their best album.
I like It.
I love that song "Marjorie Tells Me". It's one of my favorites.
Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers...In that Quiet Earth. I may be biased. I used the first part in a play I wrote for a high school youth group in a scene where an angel makes its appearance in a...
They do all the music for the Keefer Sutherland TV series, "Touch". And it's quite good. Fits the somewhat unusual mood of the series quite well.
A dream come true if it happens.
Yeah, and the detective suffers from what the Elephant Man suffered from. He's the narrator.
He may not but I can. Try "The Others". I also liked "once..." but they are totally different in mood.
