  1. How about Jethro Tull's "Teacher" or "A New Day Yesterday"?
  2. I would have liked to hear an early to mid 80's version of Rush attempt a cover of The Police's "Message in a Bottle" or "Spirits in the Material World". I know those are a little later on your 60/70s timeline, but they were clearly influenced by this stuff when some would say Rush was at their peak.
  3. Yeah...spoiled the surprise of the set list for me but I didn't care. I believe they had three setlists that tour and, luckily, we got the setlist I was rooting for in Philly (the one with Natural Science).
  4. It was...just imagine that it was the first time they played "Jacob's Ladder" live
  5. I love both of these guys but, ultimately, Steve wins out because he was much more than a blues player.
  6. That was certainly a fun Spring and Summer. Each night was an adventure trying to find the best periscope feed to catch a glimpse of the show.
  7. Back then, plenty of child actors were used and then completely discarded by the studios once they hit puberty. Bobby Driscoll of Disney's "Treasure Island" fame is one of the saddest stories.
  8. I'm not a huge fan of anything of Rush's after "Test for Echo" and, to be honest, I don't even really care for that album all that much. For me, Neil's lyrics got a little too "introspective" when they returned for "Vapor Trails" and that continued until the end. Not surprisingly, and who could blame him? I just don't think it did their music any favors. That being said...I'll leave off anything they did after TFE as I find all that stuff mostly sub-par. They were young and dumb..."Need Some Love". Worst lyrics overall..."Dog Years" Worst chorus..."Neurotica" (This song has a nice riff and could have been great). What were they thinking?..."I Think I'm Going Bald". Lyrics are too personal..."Tai Shan" (Musically...I don't think this song is that bad). Bad production..."Face Up" (This song has plenty of energy but, to me, the production makes it come across as bland). Phoning it in..."You Bet Your Life" and "Everyday Glory". Bad lyrics in general..."Virtuality" and "Totem".
  9. It has a couple moments here and there but I find it mostly uninspiring. That's based on one listen.
  10. Van Halen...hands down. "Fair Warning" was as raunchy as they would ever get. I like AC/DC a bit but I find their music a little too simple.
  11. I think the problem between Pete and the baseball "powers that be" was the changing of his story over the years. I think if he had come clean from the get-go, then baseball may have forgiven him as he got older.
  12. I'm guessing Sharon Osbourne is their manager.
  13. I love 90125, but if I was forced to rank Yes albums, I think I'd need to rank the "Trevor" albums as a separate entity. 90125 would certainly be ranked at the top of the "Trevor" albums (the rest aren't even close). 90125 has a magic to it that lasts from beginning to end. I don't think there is a weak track on it. Listening to this album never fails to immediately transport me back to my American Legion baseball picnic in the Summer of 1984 when I was 18. That must have been the day when I realized that this collection of songs was pretty darn special. That Yes lineup, unfortunately, was never able to capture this magic again.
