I Get High On You

Sorry, I had to dig up this thread. Just started listening to some King Crimson. The three 80s albums have really caught my ear. I'm gonna keep listening...

The Willing Well from that one album with the really long name is amazing. They have a unique sound, and I can respect that. Awesome band.

Vapor Trails. That album has grown on me so much.

I post on this forum every day without fail.

the bridges for Anthem and The Twilight Zone

Force Ten. I totally love the lyrics! Even if they're co-written by Pye DuBois! And I love the guitar/synth interplay at about 3:15 in!! Awesome!

Vapor Trail.

 

Man, I hate these polls. This is hard! I also really dig One Little Victory, and everything from Vapor Trail through Freeze.

yes, yes, yes!

 

 

...and The Camera Eye (just to bring that up again).

If you can get past the heavy-handed arrangements and production (and in some cases, poor songwriting), 90125 and Big Generator aren't as bad of albums as some make them out to be.

 

However, my real favorite is Drama, which, although not featuring Rabin, is still '80s Yes...Machine Messiah and Tempus Fugit are two of my all-time favorite Yes songs...

what a goofy story! welcome to TRF!

Digital Man and The Weapon, for sure. Actually, the first thing I thought of was that all of his solos are underrated. He is such an underrated guitarist in general.

The Main Monkey Business...this one will sound soooo gooooood live!!! YEAH!!!

 

I'm also really diggin' Armor and Sword, The Larger Bowl, and The Way the Wind Blows. I hope they play these ones. I wouldn't even be sad if they didn't play Far Cry (but they will).....it's lost a little of its initial excitement for me.

Appetite is a sweet piece of work. "Paradise City" rocks like a mofo.

 

Too bad Axl Rose makes me wanna heave. It's just difficult for me to find any redeeming value in GnR.

Flea is one of the best bass players around (on par with Geddy), and for that reason I've always had an appreciation for the RHCP. However, two big criticisms in the past: 1. Anthony Kiedis can't sing for shit. 2. The guitar parts always seemed conspicuously "thin" like something was seriously missing in the mix. Blood Sugar Sex Magik came out during my senior year of high school, and I was really into it, until MTV played the hell out of "Under the Bridge." (I got sick of R.E.M. due to massive overplaying of "Losing My Religion" right around the same time.) Then I went for a long time without paying any attention to these guys until a friend forced me to listen to By the Way, and it was really good! I never actually bought it though, but I did get Stadium Arcadium and I think this album is a tour de force. Chad's drumming is still a little sloppy for my tastes, but the guitar and vocals are up to where I think they should be now, and Flea is fantastic as always. So, I voted for Stadium Arcadium. But I do really like By the Way, and I still have a soft spot for Blood Sugar Sex Magik. I've listened to some clips of early tracks, before their first drummer OD'd, and that was some really crazy stuff. I think they had a lot of potential that disappeared when he did. That said... these guys manage to be commercially successful while still maintaining some musical integrity, and they keep pushing themselves and doing interesting things, so I put them up there in a pretty limited crowd of "contemporary" bands (c'mon, they're getting to be old farts themselves by now!) doing great music, along with Foo Fighters.

I love Californication....but I refuse to listen to the shitty quality of the recording...my ears start puking I swear....but the album after "By The Way" I absolutely loved. oh and I Get High On You there is no "sad state" of music...your just looking in the wrong place. period.

QUOTE (Rush! @ Apr 22 2007, 10:19 AM)

I only have Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and it's an excellent, funky album. Don't some of their early albums have a prime funk sound on them?

BloodSugarSexMagik is pretty funky. White man's funk.

OK, any Red Hot Chili Peppers fans out there? I love 'em, but in a totally different way from how I love Rush. It's good to appreciate different styles of music!

 

Basically, RHCP are one of the few "contemporary" bands whose music I can listen to without crying about the sad state of the music industry today (not including long-time bands like Rush, obviously).

 

So, anybody out there?

 

Oh yeah, you can vote for your favorite album too, if you like.
