Yeah Andy Summers is the old man of rock. Only Paul and Ringo are older, apart from jazz guys, old blues guys and 50's rock n rollers. Andy is older than Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Ray Davies, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton. Even Hank Marvin and John McLaughlin are only 1 year older and Hank's been a recording artist since 1958!

 

Charlie Watts is older than all of them, he'll be 79 in two weeks.

Neil was not a subtle kind of guy, but he was, thank goodness, a little more subtle than that.

Happy birthday, you miserable old git :wub:

I love the whole record but I’m going to give a nod to Tears because it’s the only one of those soft ballady early songs that works for me.

Proving once again that it's a darned good thing Rush was forced into upgrading their lyric-writing drummer!

It’s honestly kinda disgraceful that crappy pop stars were directly associated with the awesomeness of Geddy.

 

I'll bet Geddy was thinking of the charitable cause as the main thing, it was nice of so many Canadian artists to appear. But yeah, we all know there is the Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson etc tier of artists and then there are others.

 

Geddy is a good sport! And I'm not gonna lie, seeing him sing again did something nice for my heart.

Lots of great records here, but my 'eart belongs to the ‘Oo.

Kensington Market - Avenue Road

Here we go again. I'll tell you what you do the next poll and meanwhile I'll find a bunch of albums that you don't put in and post videos in the thread instead. :bang bang:

 

Be nice! Your thing is polls, RFF's thing is tangential trivia. It's fun!

So many! Never mind picking a favourite, I wouldn't be able to do it, but Homeward Bound is the very first song that I have a distinct conscious memory of hearing. I was 4 or 5 and it's one of the few things I can think of that makes me actually remember the feeling of having an experience as a small child.

Not sure about a lot. Primarily, have we in S FL seen the crest of the wave of cases/deaths. I fear we haven't. Just have to slog through this mess, but think we're still in for a few more dicey weeks.

 

Months.

I do skip songs sometimes, but I love an album that makes me WANT to listen to it all the way through. I don't have to like every song for that, but the songs have to fit together in a way that works for me as a whole.

I find Elton more interesting as an artist. Billy is certainly mighty on the piano but I don't like as much of his material.

Elvis, especially Armed Forces.

Mac but only Lindsey Buckingham songs.

 

Airplane over the rest, but only Airplane and not the other incarnations.

Meanwhile, Bachman beats Clapton in

Randy Bachman mentioned in an interview that he's perceived as the Canadian Eric Clapton.

 

They're both guitar legends who've played in multiple successful bands with solo careers.

 

Mind you, when I listen to 'Wonderful Tonight' and 'These Eyes' by The Guess Who; both Clapton and Bachman wrote them with the same subject matter in mind. They were both feeling frustrated with waiting awhile for their significant other to get ready, from interviews noted.

I've really been enjoying your trivia tangents lately, RushFanForever.

 

Meanwhile, in my opinion, Bachman beats Clapton on songs about this subject matter.

 

Agreed. These Eyes is a stone cold classic. Wonderful Tonight is just alright.

 

Wonderful Tonight bores me silly.

 

But then, I'll take Randy Bachman over Eric Clapton any time Clapton didn't have Ginger Baker playing behind him.

I liked that a bit. Mike's an even more underrated player than Alex LIfeson. I've heard some really good live clips of the Dirty Knots over the years so I'm excited to hear this album

I love Mike Campbell.

 

As Mr Petty said, "Michael is a quiet man, but what he says is essential."

Wonderful song!

I love your site, Jag! Thank you for all your hard work.

Easy. Cheap Trick is a pretty good rock band, but Weird Al is a genius.

I know, from radio play, BTO so I can name a few songs from them.

 

I couldn't name a single REO.

 

Are you sure you don't have them reversed? Commercially (including radio/airplay) REO was a much larger success, both in overall album sales and singles for the same duration of time in the 70s.

 

That said, BTO would be considered more in line with classic rock and REO by today's standards would be leaning more towards soft rock, at least several of their biggest hits. So depending on what radio station you were listening and in what era, you may have rarely heard one or the other band. In the 1980s they were still being lumped together on most rock radio stations, but at some point I seem to recall hearing REO on easy listening (soft rock) stations as well and overall I don't hear REO that very often anymore because if I listen to music of that era streaming it's usually more geared toward "classic" rock. Also, BTO are southern rock so that's another way in which you could be more familiar with them [Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, Allman Bros, etc]

 

Since when is BTO southern rock?

Learning to play bass.

i'm highly considering seeing him a second time. at least now i'll have more time to save up i guess.

 

Are you feeling better, Jamie?

I've been transcribing the Rush footage from 2007 that was shot for my film so I can put the full interview on Amazon Prime, and I feel such grief every time they talk about Neil because it strikes me anew how much they must miss him.
