Decent Neo-Prog. Enjoyable for what it is. There are moments that sort of touch on The Flower Kings a bit - one melody at the beginning of "Heaven is not Here" especially. As always, I'd rather it be...

I definitely like the electronic organ sound.

Like they say, you'll never come back from a nuclear attack.

Agreed - which is why I'm all for religion ending where a person's skin ends.

That seems to be a trend in all sorts of places.

Politicians and especially apparatchiks are really something else.

All I need is one and I'm done.

I'll keep checking YouTube for bootlegs.

Yes. I've endured that.

That the experimentation with music came at the same time that TV directors were fooled into thinking they were geniuses. So instead of seeing a band play, I get snippets of a band playing...

The only kinds of music I actively detest - as in when I hear them I get upset - are anything with that djent stuff going on and growling or angry screaming metal. I don't like Post Rock because it...

Exactly.

I only started liking it after I got sober. It is quite honestly a very happy kind of music.

I hate mayonnaise and mustard so I don't eat them. I don't care if other people do and it doesn't affect me. As far as music is concerned, I always say there are two kinds: What I like and what I...

What I love about Discipline and Beat is that the former perfectly goes into the latter. Almost seamlessly.

I like lobster. I also like peanut butter sandwiches. They're in the category: Food.

From my cynical (i.e. Realistic) point of view, everything is product.

He's always had an oddball sense of humor.

I liked it too. It's different enough not to be imitative but also honors the original (especially with the sample including Paul's foot tapping).

One listen through the record and I like it. I generally don't love pop music and generally don't like Country Pop but I'm enjoying this. Very catchy stuff. Good production. As always, she can sing.

I just love stuff like this. Just drifting along with the loops. My cat likes them too.

I see the highest price at $800/ticket for a VIP package. This is on Ticketmaster.

The Crimso Beat tour was my favorite of that era. A lot of energy and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. The Three of a Perfect Pair tour was less-so and you already saw Fripp being tired of...

Thank you for the thought and you were right - this one did slip me by. Appreciate the heads up.

Maybe it is. I guess I like overproduction.

Have any bands that would be considered strictly in the Prog genre had as tight and crisp production as ELO? I listen to Out Of The Blue all the time and the production is just amazing (as are the...

I could've also done without the one song that sounded like the Kiss song, "Beth".

My favorite part because of Catherine O'Hara's harmonies. Although I'm not sure if they're good or over-the-top or what.

Basically all the ones that are spoofed in the film: The Kingston Trio, The New Christy Minstrels and Ian & Sylvia.

My wife is a folky so when we saw this film, she knew what was being spoofed....

Pretty terrific video. I'm just amazed that for once, the camera is actually on the person playing rather than some random shot of another musician, someone in the audience bobbing their head, or...

It's more interesting than enjoyable. Honestly, I loved the previous single, "Burial Ground." That song was a return to form of Colin Meloy earworm songwriting reminiscent of Andy Partridge.

I think V is the most accessible of the Morse era. "At The End Of The Day" is filled with ear worms and a great emotional section. On the other hand, Snow is a tour de force of absolute cringe.

Bernard Ludescher is new to me but I'm enjoying the sound. Reminds me of some of the music that came out in the late 1980s-early 90s.

I'm just going to say that having listened to the Pat Smythe Quartet album a couple of times already, I just love that it's Holdsworth doing what I call that "Bundles sh*t". I could listen to that...

One thing I'd be interested in is what was the first pop music album that had a theme throughout. I'm assuming some Psychedelic or proto-Psychedelic album that is buried in obscurity that...

Is this when the habit arose among stinking drunks to chant, "So good. So good. So good"?

Anything by Billie Eilish. Unintelligible baby-talk singing by someone perpetually depressed. Worst part is you're not allowed NOT to like her otherwise the fans go nutsoid.

I agree with the comment in this thread about FM Rock radio which was already in the mid-late 70s moving away from DJs choosing their own playlists to a codified playlist of set numbers of songs a...

I like the song. Hopefully there'll be one about going to the pub to order a pint but they were out of the brand he wanted so he took a walk to the corner store for Skittles.

I was in high school in the late 70s-early 80s and I knew a lot of people who didn't hate on Punk. Rather, they hated on Disco music (which had already simply been absorbed into Pop). In retrospect,...

I don't know what this is - Psych/Space Rock/Fusion - who knows. Definitely has the Ozric influence so I guess I like it. Favorite track is "Pillows".

I thought the record companies no longer throwing money at anyone in the mid-70s had a lot to do with it.

I have always thought of joining it but I'm not sure. As long as both positive and negative comments are allowed and two people aren't the lords of the place or crap like that.

Gave it a listen and so far "Facade" and "Swan Song" really caught my ear. Very enjoyable.

Italian Neo-Prog. A re-recording of their 1988 debut album. I'm not keen on the vocals (sung in English) but they're not a deal-breaker because the musicianship and melodies are so darn good. A...

The food here is terrible and it's always so crowded.

As long as they had Banksian chord progressions, it sounded like Genesis.

I like ELPowell and parts of 3, but for me they're ELP-adjacent.

There was no Rock radio anymore in 1992 outside of the vestiges of stations still playing currents and classic rock stations with too-tight playlists. There was no place anymore for DJs introducing...

So I gave it a listen and dammit this thing sounded a lot better in my old age than it did at the time. It's not classic balls-to-the-wall ELP, but it's not bad at all. Greg's voice was already...

As I said in another comment, Big Big Train has never clicked with me for a variety of reasons. I rather like this record. It makes me notice in parts in a way that some of their other music has not...

If you owe people money, you pay them the money. Case closed.

I'll have to give Black Moon a listen again.

Prog Rock Sunday so I just sat around listening to music that annoyed my cat. Today it was this album (among others) which I'd not heard in its entirety before. This is just an impression instead of...

I guess some people like me love Broadway and some don't.

Listening to it now on a Prog Sunday and I quite honestly think that Transatlantic's The Absolute Universe is overall better than all but a few songs here or there on the last bunch of TFK albums.

Does this mean he doesn't like "Pirates"?

As always, thanks to all for the suggestions. These will trigger the algorithm nicely.

Sounds like TV soundtracks for a mystery show.
