Mystic Slipperman Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 My random music thought for the day: Few live performances are as soulful, as powerful, as PERFECT, as Otis Redding's short set at the MONTEREY POP festival in 1967. That performance of "I've Been Loving You Too Long" is the DEFINITION of true soul music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, until recently the only album I was really familiar with was In the Court of the Crimson King. I used to play Lizard and Starless and Bible Black sometimes, but they just kinda bounced off my skull. Right now I'm in love with the Belew/Bruford/Fripp/Levin lineup. These guys are just blowing my mind. Edit: also, what Did Lee Squat said. IMO Discipline is the best of the 80s Crimson studio albums. If you love this lineup, you NEED to get Absent Lovers: Live in Montreal. It's the last show that lineup ever gave...end of the "Three of a Perfect Pair" tour, and it is a monster. Officially released live album, better yet!!! Also.....you need Red. The other (IMO) perfect Crimson album... Larks' Tongues in Aspic is absolutely phenomenal!

The live USA is great too...overdubs and all. Apparently David Cross was (mostly) inaudible so Fripp decided to have Eddie Jobson overdub violin on the tracks.

ArrowSnake Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Just wanted to say Emotion Detector is such an awesome song! The lyrics are so beautiful, and I love how Neil hits those cymbals before the "right to the heart of the matter" parts, it sounds really powerful. I remember when I was just getting to know Rush, I loved their harder albums (2112 and AFTK) and didn't really like the 80's albums, but nowadays I actually prefer their 80's period.

Is it available for download in the official shop? I started looking through what they had, but there's no way to sort the results and there's like 20 pages' worth.

Gompers Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 My current random music thought (while listening to DT's Awake), I would probably still be a fan of the band if Kevin Moore never left. He doesn't spooge the keys like Rudess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Why oh why weren't Urge Overkill absolutely f*cking huge?!?! In the era of plaid and dreck that was grunge they were a breath of fresh air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu93 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Because I'm getting a new 60 GB iPod for Christmas, I will be able to put all of my iTunes music on my iPod, as well as all of the music I plan on buying - be it The Who, Pink Floyd, Yes, or even My Chemical Romance. Plus, if I find a CD in my collection thats not on iTunes, I'll be able to hear it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgyspice Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 There's almost too much good music for me to process! I'm mainlining Yes and King Crimson these days. I think Discipline has become one of my "Top Ten of All Time" albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Slipperman Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 OK.. mine for the day. Toy Matinee's lone album is one of the greatest pop/rock records that no one has ever heard. (well, ALMOST no one). Such a shame about Kevin Gilbert... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn Me On Dead Man Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 QUOTE (Lamneth08 @ Aug 26 2008, 11:31 AM) QUOTE (Mystic Slipperman @ Aug 26 2008, 09:39 AM) Very cool to see more fans of The Band. Today's random thought... Anyone who thinks that The Beach Boys' music was just lightweight fluff about cars, surfing, and girls needs to hear the song "Surf's Up". It just might change your mind.... it certainly changed mine. It's an amazing piece of music. The Beatles themselves were listening to The Beach Boys. Pet Sounds is a great album. I think Pet Sounds is SLIGHTLY overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArrowSnake Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Don't Worry Baby is my favorite song by the Beach Boys. I definitely don't like all of their songs but they did make some beautiful music... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made my friend play it on a long drive yesterday. She ended up liking it so much she played "Thela Hun Ginjeet" twice in a row, and then when we stopped at a music store she bought the CD!
