If I met Alex Lifeson I would be your typical gob-smacked, speechless fan-boy!

Agreed. It's gorgeous. I have been listening to this quite a lot - it keeps getting better. Each time I get a little something I hadn't picked up before.

Yes

It's a like secret Masonic society for dope smokers.

Congratulations Wil1972!

Triumph ..... a pretty decent song.

Just heard this today. This album is gonna be great!

None of the albums are worthless to me...but a couple of them are trying to be :P Neurotica and YBYL are on my top 10 Dislike list. Ghost of a Chance nearly sinks in quicksand if it weren’t for Lifeson’s solo. Neurotica has a really good guitar solo though. It's fierce! It’s not enough to save it. It’s on my list! The thing about Roll the Bones it's kind of like RUSH's AOR album, like their stab at being Journey. That might a reason right there to hate it, I kind of like that aspect actually, but there's bad things too, bad juju like the Roll the Bones rap, and the Rupert Hine production (though it's better than the eggbox production of Presto), Heresy and the whole cold war repetitive babble, all those wasted years and all those wasted minutes listening to it! Then you have You Bet Your Life with it's dance floor pseudo-new wave opening riff and the other rap anarchistreactionaryrunningdogrevisionist etc etc. I actually don't mind RTB (apart from the rapping bit!!). As treeduck says, Hine's production on it is way better than his miserable effort on Presto. Mediocre but not a total turkey.

Yeah, gotta go with Snakes. T4E, HYF and Presto received some consideration, but each of those albums have a few good songs that still hold up. Only the two instrumentals on Snakes get consistent repeat listens from me. Someone voted for A Farewell to Kings! :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: I feel like someone has just kicked me in the nuts

Quite difficult this - some of them I had to omit .... great albums but just not all time great! Also a couple of options I would not have considered as Prog so I ignored them. But al in all an enjoyable exercise and a reminder of some fantastic albums!

Listened to Weltschmerz for the first time yesterday. My first impressions are - melancholy, moving and really quite beautiful. If this is to be Fish's last album then he is signing off in fine style.

The Flying Colors album is very good indeed! I Haven't heard Morse's album yet - I look forward to it!

EVH is the one legend in the band. Without him, no Van Halen.

A lot of choices ..... i will return later after some consideration. Good poll though!

There are good bits to find on all releases .... however some of them are more scarce that others! Personally I struggle the most with Presto - sterile production and some bland songwriting. A close second is Test For Echo.

Happy anniversary Union!

Super stuff!! I have a couple of nice 82/83 sets and they are just real good shows. Sadly I was not at any of these great shows. My first concert was 1980 and then life got in the way and my second was 2004!!

A lot of these I do not know but I went for Triumph with honourable mentions to Saga, Max Webster and April Wine

I was in my last year at Uni ........ I worked part time in a record store ........ sales of Zeppelin albums went through the roof.

Hard to believe that it's 40yrs ......... must be gettin' old! :codger:
