    Name a Band...

    in Music Of The Spheres

    I don't play any instruments seriously, but I'd love to be in a band that plays crazy psychedelic music (like Gong). Also, we'd write awesome concept albums. (I already have one called "Unanswered Questions" already planned out, although I envisioned that as more of a space prog album, with heavy overtones.)

     

    As far as band name, Mushroom Sword is pretty awesome :haz:

     

    Really? that sounds kinda interesting. What you have on the album? I mean you got music and lyrics, or just the concept itself? What it is about (besides "unanswered questions", of course)?

    No I've just sort of thought through the concept. :P

     

    The lyrics would be questions throughout life that are never answered (at least at the time) such as a child's questions about where babies come from, or a teenagers questioning of religion.

     

    Also, there would be some epic instrumental sections in the vein of Echoes (Pink Floyd) :haz:

    Clockwork Angels—Stock up or down?

    in Rush

    Posted

    Here was something that came to mind recently—What song(s) from Clockwork Angels is "definitive" Rush? What song(s) ranks as all time greats in the bands catalog? To me four make that list: title track, SCOG, HF, and The Garden. Which ones do you put on the all time great list?

    Definitely Caravan. I probably like SCOG and The Garden more, but Caravan is classic Rush. Also, it was a moderately popular single and played on the TM (greatest hits) tour, so it will likely get the most lasting recognition.

    Saw Fleetwood Mac Thursday night at Nationwide in Columbus. It was the first night of the tour, but they sounded great! Of course Stevie's voice isn't what it once was, but Landslide alone was worth the price of admission! :wub: Lyndsey sounded really strong and his guitar playing was great (although I could have done without I'm So Afraid). Gold Dust Woman, Landslide, Tusk, Go Your Own Way, and Sad Angel (new song) were probably the best songs. It's too bad Christine doesn't tour anymore but they still rocked without her!

     

    Definitely worth it, would see again! :haz:

    Just saw Yes playing Close To The Edge and The Yes Album (Going For The One was dropped due to the casino's lame curfew). I saw them almost two years ago in the same venue with Styx, and I can't believe the difference between that show and the one I just saw. It's night and day. They are so much better and more energized with Jon Davison than they were with Benoit David. Davison sang incredibly well, and didn't struggle or strain to hit the notes like David did. He also sounded extremely natural singing, not like someone trying to sound like Jon Anderson. Steve Howe and Chris Squire were their usual selves, and both seemed to be enjoying themselves. White and Downes were pretty good, but most of my focus was on Howe, Squire, and Davison.

     

    While I wish they didn't have to play a short set, the two albums (plus the Roundabout encore) sounded great. Close to the Edge is one of my favorite songs, and it was a perfect way to open the show. I know a lot of Yes fans are sick of it, but Starship Trooper was phenomenal, as was Clap (I'd love to see a show with just Steve Howe playing acoustic guitar...). Really, the whole set was played extremely well and professionally. I heard some complaining about them not playing Owner of a Lonely Heart, but it would've been a terrible encore choice as it would not have fit in with the rest of the set at all.

     

    While I would like to see them at least once with Jon Anderson in the future, they didn't sound like a tribute band at all (like some fans claim). I'm sold on Davison, and I'd see them with him again in a heartbeat.

    Awesome! I'm seeing them at the end of the summer in Indianapolis (last day of the tour!) Hopefully Jon's voice isn't shot by then.

    Just ordered a limited edition CD of iamthemorning's debut "~" :)

    I'm actually listening to that album right now! I didn't know there was a limited edition so I just ordered it before it sold out (had the free download for a while now, but I've been meaning to buy it).

    :cheers: I had looked into buying it before, but I don't think there was a CD available until recently. Easily my favorite independent release of 2012 :haz:
