    Open - Jon Anderson

    Makes me really wish he was still in Yes.

    Agreed. I saw John's recent solo tour. Just amazing. Nearly three hours of just him singing, playing guitar/piano/ukelele/some sort of asian(?) lute thingy. Chris Squire has said he's open to Jon returning to the band, but not until touring for the "Fly from Here" album is finished. For sure I'm tired of them using guys from cover bands. Not sure if I want to see them this fall, but will probably go for Procul Harum.

    Hey brotha, not sure if these are "Retro" enough wink.gif might be a little more metal, but some recent tunes I've been digging for awhile:

     

    Blackfield - another project by PT's Steven Wilson

     

    O.S.I. - Jim Matheos (Fate's Warning); Kevin Moore, Mike Portnoy (ex-Dream Theater); Sean Malone (Cynic/Gordian Knot)

    O.S.I. - "The New Math (What He Said)"

    O.S.I. - "O.S.I."

    O.S.I. - "Free"

     

    Gordian Knot - Project by Sean Malone whose lineup has at times included Steve Hackett, Bill Bruford, John Myung, and others.

     

    As stated previously in the thread, Opeth's newest album is very old school, and trippy music video to boot! common001.gif

     

    Another previously mentioned artist, but no linky. Great song.

     

    The Yellow Moon Band - found these guys back in the good ol days of the Interdimensional Vortex. From what I know this is their only album, but its some great sounds.

     

    I'll keep an ear out.... trink39.gif

    Did Genesis really "sell out"?

    IMO, they may have sold out. To me some of their 80s stuff still has progressive leanings. Like I would still consider "Land of Confusion", "No Son of Mine", and the Duke album, to be more prog than "That's All" or "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight."

    They did seem to be "throwing it all away" toward the end...  common001.gif  rofl3.gif

    Not that they're later stuff is bad by any means, I still listen to and enjoy it, but I do agree -- times change, sound changes!

    Unless you are AC/DC.

    Well I liked their music and am sad I never got to see them live. They had some great songs over the years, in my opinion!

     

    Orange Crush

    Stand

    Losing My Religion

    Shiny Happy People

    Drive

    Man on the Moon

    The Great Beyond

    Everybody Hurts

    What's the Frequency, Kenneth

     

    I will agree they did go downhill in the late 90s, and by the time I checked out the 2008 album "Accelerate" I thought they were pretty much done. It didn't hold a flame to the earlier stuff.

    It was a tough decision between WTA and Faithless, but I went with Faithless. What would I replace it with? Anything. Realistically, something from one of the untouched albums this tour, probably "Test for Echo."

    This. goodpost.gif

     

     

     

     

     

    ...And I kicked Faithless out. Not that it is a BAD song or anything - it's still 2.gif

    Who would you go see?

    Holy epic thread Batman! This was a toughie.

     

    Welp, I would have to say....

    The Who, if they were playing Tommy. (the one I actually went with)

    Zappa, if it was with the Zappa in New York lineup...or just Bozzio playing drums.

    Zeppelin would be epic.

    Beatles would be epic. Especially if they did Sgt. Peppers.

    Pink Floyd with or without Syd, I'm not picky.

     

    TOO MANY AWESOME CHOICES! wacko.gif

    -Stratoviarius: Elysium (still need to check out)

    Listened through it a couple of times.

    I'll be honest, there are only a few Stratovarius songs that I enjoy and listen to consistently. The epic on this record wasn't enjoyable - pretty repetitive.

     

    The first track, however, is just outstanding:

    Wow.. Thank you for reminding me of this! trink39.gif

    No prob. Thanks for the link. Big Strato fan here, still waiting for them to come to Phoenix! laugh.gif

    Neil Peart Evolution Snare Drum Collection

    I really wanted to figure out a way to see if I could get Neil to sign the head of the TM snare.

    What I would do is mail a drumhead to the venue of your choice for Neil to sign, hope you get it mailed back to you, and then change the head yourself.
