Wil1972

AFTK. With Hemispheres. A tie.

If it means getting live recordings I'd take it. But they need to make them standalone releases. I don't need to rebuy the albums just give me live recordings/DVD's.

Yet here you are, worrying about people worrying about someone else's choices of favorite Rush music. ;) i didn't even know Tony R was still a thing. he's a mythical creature who show's up every six months give or take to feed with his hate than disappears into the morning mist. :D Mick If he sees his shadow we get 6 more months of Peart bashing.

Not mine. As much as I'd like to have all the box set swag they've been pumping out, I got bills to pay. I have the albums and DVDs. That'll do. Although I do really want that R40 bonus disc DVD.

He fell on hard times. Did drugs. Numbskull.

This.

That's great!

Rush has officially become KISS. For that cash he could at least bring it to me personally.

Great pics, Lucas! :ebert: Awesome!

Got it on vinyl too.

RIP

Egypt station has some of the best material I have heard from McCartney for a long time. Earnest soulful songs with great melodies."I Don't Know" is effortless and great. It also has some of his worst material in a long long time. Like Fuh You and Back to Brazil Fuh You is lame. Back in Brazil is good. It's really not. For me it is.

One some of the first pressings of the album it is red, but most copies have it pink, idek why. It was a mistake at the printers. Crazy how two albums early in their career were ruined by the faulty printing. They couldn't catch a break even with their own graphics.

The video I posted had the reviewer saying it was the one decent song on Marci Gras. Stu Cook pales next to Fogerty. Such a shame ego and jealousy ruined it all. Ah cool I didn't get a chance to watch the video. I'll have to check it out.

Crap. Forgot that one. Good album!

"Every Night" "Junk" "Man We Was Lonely" "Teddy Boy" "Maybe I'm Amazed" All are keepers. And that's 5 of 13 songs off the original album. McCartney is much better than 38%. IMO he rushed that album out. I think he was just trying to do something, anything, to keep his mind busy and not think about the demise of the Beatles. Was that album perfect? Far from it, but he was, according to Linda, a depressed drunk who wouldn't bathe when she married him. She inspired him to get up and just make an album. It definitely reflects his tentative, fragile mindset. Everyone talks about Plastic Ono Band, but where John's frame of mind was revealed through his lyrics, McCartney's was revealed through the roughshod state of the music. He does hint at things in Every Night but mostly that album was him trying to stay busy and carve out his own sound. He was looking for a new place. And he had to start somewhere. You don't start with grand Abbey Road statements. You start with the basics. That album was a pencil sketch of a new phase. It was also, to me, his attempt to accomplish what the Beatles failed to on Let it Be - get back to basics. Go in a new direction. And based on that McCartney is an interesting album. Not my favorite but still worthy of exploring. It took him a few albums and then by Band On the Run he was fully established as a force beyond the Beatles. I never said it was “bad,” work, though. I said it was essentially an album of unfinished demos. I agree. It's not perfect. But I think that explains why it is what it is. I think I read at one point that McCartney was trying to beat the others to the punch with his album. John's first solo album is arguably his best, and I think George's first solo album inarguably is his. I'm a fan, so I can find something to enjoy in everything Paul's ever released. But a lot of the material on McCartney, IMO, while good for what it is, wasn't ready for release yet. Take Valentine Day. That's a cool piece. It probably could have been worked up nicely. I think John's first solo album is overrated. I prefer Mind Games or Walls and Bridges. And yea, some of the stuff on McCartney is undercooked. All Things Must Pass is amazing but I like Cloud Nine better.

Give it another 94 years.

Someday Never Comes is an overlooked gem. Good band.

I agree they were at the peak of their powers as a live band from that tour right through the early 90s. And the concert does sound great. If I remember correctly Terry Brown returned to aid in the sound mix. Those GuP songs sparkle live because of it. Henderson was a poor choice for the album.

I am right there with you on the Cookie Monster vocals. Instant turn-off.

I'm partial to Macca's London Town. Lennon's Walls and Bridges. And Harrison's Cloud Nine.
