I would add Alusa Fallax Intorno... One of my favorite albums, Italian or not, and the Italian prog album I have listened to the most.
Others in this thread said Magma. They were also my favorite performance. I saw them at Nearfest 2007. In addition to other bands mentioned that were also some of my favorites, one not mentioned that...
Remember Fridays with Frank? It was about the music. That's all I care about. I don't care about the personal stuff. Not only concerning Zappa but any musician.
Is the issue that he is playing too many new songs or that he is playing them before the album is released and before people can be familiar with them before seeing them performed live? If the...
Last year I wanted to get rid of most of my collection but didn't feel like dealing with trying to sell them so I gave them to a nephew. If he wanted to keep most of them or sell most of them either...
^^Definitely. My favorite is whatever one I'm listening to at the time
^^I agree it's hard to pick a favorite GG album. With some or most other bands I have a clear favorite but not with them.
I for the most part agree. If Georgia or Michigan lose they will no doubt remain in the top four. If TCU loses they also will most likely remain in the top four. The most meaningful game will be USC...
Banco at one of the Nearfests. I went Saturday but at the last minute something came up and I couldn't go Sunday. Thus I never got to see them. Also Gentle giant last US tour. My friend had an extra...
^^ Some of the movies you mention are among my favorite all time movies, horror or otherwise. The Exorcist is in my top five of all movies. But I still like going to the theater to see the new...
I prefer the better of newer ones over older ones with exceptions for a few older favorites. Also I don't watch many movies at home anymore and prefer going to the theater.
Recently release Pearl....
Animals is my favorite too. And from what I've read, despite the shirt, Johnny Rotten didn't hate Pink Floyd .
Replace The Sentinel with Citizen Cain - Somewhere But Yesterday and that would be my top 5 though in a different order.
Between those two I'd take Howe and whoever is with him. I'd have no interest in seeing the school of rock kids. I'd take option 3 over both: a Yes tribute band in a bar for free or low cover
Gimme Back My Bullets is the one I listened to most over the years. Maybe because the songs weren't as overplayed as those on other albums. Such a great variety of songs on this one. Many people...
You all still watch commercials? I record everything and fast forward through the commercials. Even the few sporting events I watch.
This Saturday night on Cozi TV it's the first two Columbo episodes from season 4 1974. In An Exercise in Fatality it's Robert Conrad as a fitness guru who kills a business associate. Also in the cast...
This Saturday night on Cozi TV it's the last two Columbo episodes from season 3 1974. In Swan Song it's Johnny Cash as a gospel singer and guitarist murderer. The always great Vito Scotti makes one...
Tonight on Cozi TV it's the two Columbo pilot episodes. "Prescription: Murder" from 1968. Gene Barry as Psychiatrist who murders his wife. "Ransom for a Dead Man" from 1971. Lee Grant as a lawyer who...
I went to the middle ones 2002-2008. The first few I attended were at Trenton. I remember people saying Bethlehem was a better atmosphere. When I went there I agreed. I live midway between Trenton...
Because of circumstances and losses I no longer have the desire to listen to music, so my nephew came and picked up much of my collection and took it to his house. I'm not even sure if he'll like it...
I've been offline for a while and just became aware of his death today with this thread. I listened to CTTE over the weekend but would have listened to Tales if I knew. Will listen to that this week....
^I went tonight and it looked sold out. It was the Seconds out plus show. At the same venue Friday and Saturday night is Selling England plus Seconds Out. These two were originally scheduled for...
I'd say Beethoven's symphonies but they have been on various recordings.
As for the rest. Genesis - Nursery Cryme. Foxtrot. The Lamb. Selling England. After that one of the other Genesis 70s albums
That's how it is with a local independent radio station. They have weekly shows featuring all kinds of different genres. I messaged the program director asking about maybe a weekly prog program. He...
In addition to some of my favorites already mentioned here, other favorites are all four sides of Yes Tales
^I also no longer go to concerts in arenas or stadiums. The cost, distractions, and aggravation far exceeds any musical experience or enjoyment. It's now only concerts in small theaters and small...
Some here were posting their desert island ten. Here's my prog studio albums desert island ten. Limit one album per band.
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Yes - Tales from Topographic...
^^That's similar to me. Same era. The paper route. I had Kiss and Elton John albums before I started listening to prog. Also Bowie, Sabbath, Rush's early albums, among others. I didn't listen to much...
The most memorable was September 1982 The Who Farewell tour, the first (?) of several farewell tours. The Clash and Santana were also there (two out of three ain't bad considering The Clash were...
I don't know the exact dates and don't feel like searching on Google. Also leaving out Nearfest and the early Rosfests when Rosfests were in my area before they moved and I stopped going, because...
^^I said the top ten to fifteen
The last time I checked the ten or fifteen states with the highest covid death rates were representative of states across the political spectrum. Also ever since the vaccines were available the...
Tour starts in January. So far Europe and Canada dates.

King Crimson. No proof of vaccine needed but masks required. People wore masks in general areas but many took them off while seated. Considering it was outdoors and not nearly sold out, and thus many...
I would never say he little talent. I just have no use for anything he has done after The Wall. It bores me and leaves me cold. It has nothing to do with politics. I agree with him on some things and...
I felt the same way when they were scheduled to tour before the pandemic. I wasn't sure if I was going to go after having gone to concerts on their recent tours. But now after not seeing any concerts...
I had slight side effects. Fatigue and mild fever symptoms the night I was vaccinated was about it. It was breeze compared the second shingles vaccine I got a couple of years ago which knocked me out...
I'm going to both of those. Also King Crimson with The Zappa Band in September, and The Musical Box in November.
BarryL, and others here, you seem to know a lot about this virus. Any information on how long after being infected one should wait before getting vaccinated, specifically for people who did not take...
No Renate Knaup. I'd take her over any of the females in the list.
No Mr Doctor? :)
I went back in the beginning at Phoenixville and Glenside. It's great it lasted many years after they moved. Sorry to see it ending for now.
I think part of the reason for the change is because if his last show aired on Christmas it would be preempted in many areas because of NBA basketball games, thus denying many from seeing it on...
I'd add Heathaze and Cul-de-sac. Heathaze reminds me of The Lamia.
By the better songs I meant Down and Out, Undertow, Burning Rope, Deep in the Motherlode, and The Lady Lies There's nothing on Duke I like as much as those, especially the first three I mentioned....
Banks also said the middle instrumental section of Mad Man Moon "could have been better". It seems he was more pleased with the beginning and ending. I like it all and it's probably my favorite on...
I definitely wouldn't go if that was it. The 2007 set list was similar but also had the part of Firth of Fifth, Los Endos and some Duke songs. One article said they were playing new old songs...
I'm seeing Hackett and The Musical Box in the next two weeks. I can't Imagine me enjoying this Genesis tour more than these concerts. I'll wait to see set lists before deciding to go.
An article says they didn't approach Gabriel or Hackett. Maybe those two can get together and tour and then there will be a Yes like situation with two touring bands. Well I can always dream :)
I'll take Hackett, The Musical Box, and The Genesis Show in small theaters with free parking and reasonably priced tickets, and most likely a better set list, over Genesis in a big arena or stadium...
Absolutely Free - early Mothers
Hot Rats - early studio instrumental
Apostrophe - shorter songs, humor
One Size Fits All - best studio balance of humor, songs, instrumental
Make a Jazz Noise...
Two albums I play once a year on Christmas Eve Savatage - Dead Winter Dead and on Christmas day
Jon Anderson - 3 Ships
Forever Blowing Bubbles is great too but doesn't get mentioned as much as Symphony.
The OP had MDK at the top. Great choice but for Magma I'd have Hhai Live at the top.
I agree with those...
Riding bikes and skateboards at all hours without helmets in the middle of busy streets.
Playing baseball all day long without
helmets or sunscreen and no adults anywhere in sight for...
Caravan s/t was mentioned and it would have made my list but wasn't that released in 1968? A debut released in 1969 I don't think was mentioned is VdGG The Aerosol Grey Machine.
In no particular order.
Crimso - Court
Zappa- Hot Rats
Beefheart - Trout
Beatles - Abbey Road
Soft Machine - Volume 2
The Doors - Soft Parade
Bowie - David Bowie
Yes - s/t
^^ I understand what you are saying. There are also a lot of rock musicians out there pontificating on things of which they have little or no knowledge. They might be talented artists but have no...
Thus launching one of the all time great rock bands.

^^ I was listening to Heresie earlier
Art Zoyd - Le Mariage - music doesn't spook me much but this one spooks me about as much as music can spook me, or at least it did when I first heard it. The...
