The Greatest Screams In Rock And Roll YOOOOOWWW!
Entre_Perpetuo replied to Entre_Perpetuo's topic in Music Of The Spheres
I'll make an exception for Ged there. Love that one. -
What are the greatest screams in rock and roll according to you? Is it Steven Tyler's infamous Dream On howl? Roger Daltrey's impassioned yelp in Won't Get Fooled Again? Even Axl Rose's crescendo scream at the start of Welcome To The Jungle is up for grabs! Just try and keep it to onomonopeic and basic scream syllables (I.e. Avoid words in the scream, we want stuff like "ah," "oh," "woo," or even "yeah," but not "baby" and other more lyrical words, you know what I mean) I think it's tough to top Steven Tyler's Dream On "AAAA-Aaaaaaah!"

You're a tad too early my friend. Why don't you check your calendar?

The greatest arena/stadium rock bands?

Today, TK, we agree. QUEEN. -
I repeat, Live Dates is excellent. One of my new favs. Andy Powell is an incredible guitarist.

Been on a big Bowie kick the past few days. Learned the Rebel Rebel riff from ear/memory, listened to ChangesBowie with Dad on my way home, been listening to a lot of Diamond Dogs cuz I just got it, listened back through all of the albums of his that I own slightly over a week ago, played an acoustic rendition of Space Oddity live for lots of friends and peers last Thursday night while still on campus, and just in general have had lots and lots of Bowie running through my head. Now I remember why I decided he's my fifth favorite artist, and why it isn't Yes, or Weezer, or Aerosmith, or Floyd, or the Beatles, or something else not quite up to snuff. Also Bowie had one of the few truly inspiring careers in the rock and roll cannon, especially at the end last year. Reminds me so much of Freddie, but he did things very differently nonetheless which I also admire. Plus he played sax, and I play sax, and that's awesome.

Many questions, many possible answers I can give. For the shortened nighttime response... There was a brief (in hindsight) but definite period right around junior high when I really started getting into music where I outright believed good music wasn't being made anymore and hadn't been made since the 80s, except in a particular few cases (things I was already familiar with). The short story is that then someone online questioned me on this belief when I was in a more open minded mood at the start of high school, and I asked them to recommend good new music to me (he knew the basic of my taste already). that's where I met and fell in love with Muse, and decided the new stuff could actually be excellent under the right conditions. It still too some time after that, but I eventually came to the logical realization that there's great and terrible music in every era, and I just have to put in the effort to find it. That old rejection did remanifest itself as a disdain for rap, hip-hop, and top 40 "pop-slop," a grudge which decayed into a distaste which has now decayed into a more open minded approach to all genres, but taking anything poppy on the charts with a few grains of salt and skepticism. I do still retain my rejections of Justin Beiber and One Direction; I continue to refuse to give them a fair shot on principle that they won't be worth my time. But most anyone else I can be talked into reviewing my opinion on, or at least putting a bit more effort into my analyses. So yeah, there's great new music out there, but especially when immersed in any of the "classic rock" cultural contexts, it can be difficult to realize this at times, let alone find the good new music.

Hard to argue against Stairway really. -
Should we encourage Rush to do an instrumental album?
Entre_Perpetuo replied to SecondNature's topic in Rush
I want Moist, not some instrumental showoff. If they're going to conclude their career with one more studio album, it has to be as good as or better than CA, and i don't think an instrumental record is going to cut it. Not when the only Rush instrumentals that always hold my unwavering attention are YYZ and La Villa. Mal nar is great, TMMB can be very cool, Limbo is pretty fun, but come on. I don't want an album full of those when they can still write and perform fantastic SONGS like CA, HF, the Anarchist and so on.' Moist. -
The only trip I'm taking is a three and a half hour van ride home, then another one back up here in a week. But one of these days maybe I'll take a fun trip somewhere for Spring Break, could be a lot of fun!

I love that you got back on right around the time I got into Genesis! There's so much Genesis love around here these days, it's a great time. :D

Genesis Albums Rankings and Best Tracks
Entre_Perpetuo replied to tx_rush's topic in Music Of The Spheres
Unless the hype has killed it for you, I bet you'll find The Lamb high on your list when you get 'round to it. The hype shall be the challenge, especially since I'm forcing myself to wait until I can get in on vinyl...dang, I hope I don't hate it, lol. -
1976 rock albums clash: Rocks or Jailbreak?
Entre_Perpetuo replied to Texas King's topic in Music Of The Spheres
Not fair, too close. I'm going to vote Thin Lizzy just because they're Irish. -
Live Dates - Wishbone Ash One of my favorite guitar solos ever on Throw Down The Sword on that record.

YOU'RE ALL FULL OF BALL!!! lol Mick Like it or not, like what you've got, YOU'RE UNDER THE SOIL!!! Haha, I've been known to test myself and just start singing the whole thing, see if I can remember all the words. I love when the Willow Farm Section kicks in If you go down to Willow Farm, to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies Mick I can't decide if I like Willow farm better on Foxtrot or on Seconds Out . . . Phil got arguably more theatrical with it than Peter, lol. Great section.

Genesis Albums Rankings and Best Tracks
Entre_Perpetuo replied to tx_rush's topic in Music Of The Spheres
Still constructing this. Both versions of the band are both so good at what they did....it get's difficult to compare. Also note I still haven't heard Tresspass, The Lamb,Trick Of The Tail, Invisible Touch, or Calling All Stations. 1. Foxtrot - Supper's Ready, Get 'Em Out By Friday, Watcher Of The Skies 2. Genesis - Mama, Just A Job To Do, That's All 3. Nursery Cryme - The Musical Box, The Return Of The Giant Hogweed, The Fountain Of Salmacis 4. Selling England By The Pound - Dancing With The Moonlit Knight, Firth Of Fifth, The Cinema Show/Aisle Of Plenty 5. Abacab - No Reply At All, Keep It Dark, Dodo/Lurker 6. Wind And Wuthering - Eleventh Earl Of Mar, Afterglow, One For The Vine 7. Duke - Turn It On Again, Behind The Lines, Duchess (shout outs to the guide vocals) 8. We Can't Dance - No Son Of Mine, Driving The Last Spike, Dreaming While You Sleep 9. From Genesis To Revelation - Where The Sour Turns To Sweet, The Serpent... 2-6 are semi-fluid. Some days Selling England annoys me for certain reasons and might fall lower, some days Nursery Cryme isn't accessible enough, some days ABACAB fizzles out too much towards the end, some days I'm just not in the mood for Genesis s/t. Some days Wind And Wuthering only has like two good songs. Some days Duke has too much filler. Other days any of those things might be practically false. -
There are definitely people who would choose Magical Mysetery Tour, Hard Day's Night, or Help, if not some of the others you didn't include. I think when you don't include an entire discography you should add the words "out of these albums" to your question. My favorite out of these is Abbey Road...my favorite out of all of their albums is Abbey Road.

At first I thought you'd put Supper's Ready up against Book I, in which case I felt like I was choosing a favorite child (favorite Rush versus favorite Genesis...ooh boy). However, since you chose the inferior Book II, Supper's Ready knocks it out of the park. Supper's Ready actually might be my second favorite song ever....maybe. It's that amazing. There are few words which I sing more readily at any given time than "Walking across the sitting room, I turn the television off..." Or "and it's...Hello babe! With your guardian eye's so blue! Hey my baby-ee! Don't you know our love is true?" Pretty much only Killer Queen is more automatic in my day to day life.
