16/20

it has to be hemispheres, it blows my mind!

its nice to get a sense that you do actually enjoy Rush The Writer, i had become rather worried you were completely judgemental and only praised classical, which you evidently love so much.

Only one unofficial recording of this tour is in circulation, thus only one setlist is availalbe. It should be mentioned that the tracklist of All The World's A Stage is nearly identical to those performed in the known setlist, with "Fly By Night-Anthem-In The Mood" listed earlier in the show (after "Anthem", in place of "Lakeside Park"), possibly to conform to album sides. May 30, 1976: (only known setlist) Bastille Day Anthem Lakeside Park 2112 (with abbreviated Discovery, minus Oracle) Fly by Night In the Mood Something For Nothing By-Tor and the Snow Dog In The End Working Man Finding My Way Drum Solo Encore: What You're Doing i hope that helps

i believe that the setlist on ATWAS is pretty much the true setlist of what they played, i'll look on power windows and attempt to find the setlist

i found it very hard to pick one, there are many i dislike e.g country, hiphop and rap. but i find gospel possibly the most irritating and tragically awful thing i have ever heard.

I respect Moonraker's point of view that "As long as anyone gets anything positive from the experience of listening to some kind of music, then I find it impossible to place my name on the validity that it is bad." If people out there love these genres that I don't and it gives them pleasure, I would be the last one to take away their enjoyment or to try and tell them that they're wrong. Everyone is different and another man's garbage is another man's treasure, etc. I, however, have never understood people that when you ask them what kind of music they like say things like, "Oh, I like all kinds of music." I ask them if they have any favorite genres or artists and they say things like "not really." Usually unsatisfied and deeply puzzled, I say, "Well there must be SOMEthing you particularly like," which usually brings a short list of 4 or 5 (to me seemingly completely random) cd's they own that they happen to have been listening to lately. To me music is passion, and while they might be passionate about music in general, to me music is passion for very particular styles, genres, groups, singers, etc. Without differentiation, it's like saying all music is just music and is inherently all good. It may be all good, but it all has drastically different effects on me. The ironic thing is, for the people who say they like all kinds, I bet I could sit them down for 30 minutes and play them a lot of music that would find they really do dislike, or at least can't relate to at all. I think the people who "like all kinds" just might not have thought it out, or more likely, just don't care enough to really think it all out. That's fine, but I don't get it, or at least it's SO different than the way I approach it. To me, there is music I love, music I find benign and non-offensive, but unmoving, and music that I think is a vile plague across this land. If it has an audience, great, and I hope those people enjoy it, but I don't mind saying how I personally feel about it. Country music I find extremely vomit-inducing, pretty much across the board. Occasionally I'll hear a more crossover country song that is bearable, and of course there are groups I love that have a fair amount of country influence (Grateful Dead, CSNY, etc.), but those are FAR away from pure country music. 99.9% of anything country I hear to me is extremly unpleasant. To me it's the most irritating, lowest common denominator of music for the masses without any redeeming qualities. That whole style of singing with that twangy kind of whiny thing to me sounds very affected. The lyrics I usually find phenonemanlly stupid and pedestrian and most all of it sounds the same without anything interesting to challenge me in any way, to surprise or excite me. As much as I don't like rap, I would rather listen to 30 minutes of rap than 5 minutes of country - I leave buildings where it's playing and go way out of my way to avoid it - yuck! Peace, Gary

Beethoven - piano concerto 1 & 2 - this is really excellent also i got Lateralus (sorry if that is mispelled) by tool, which i really love already, i think its outstanding

1. this is a really cool thread, hello cyg. ummmmmmmmmmm....... 2. there are in fact 3 facts here

why is this thread meant to be killed?

By-Tor, no question about it

vital signs for me, not sure why with all the other great songs. its just good as its something a little different

The Enemy within

you're welcome

hey Alex lovers, sullysue said she liked the smile Alex has in this picture so i thought i'd post here so you can see him in my sig

here here! its great to have music of the spheres! i hope everyone continues to enjoy it

foo fighters rocked when i saw them live

i've gone for COS, but this was a very tricky choice, i really like both albums and find it hard to fault either (naive i know). I really like the atmosphere they create over the entire album in COS, which i think only appears sporadically on FBN. that's as well as i could express it, difficult poll!

seems in in the minority going for nocturne, i really love this song.

no competition for me; the fountain. great piece of music, on a great album!
