Really enjoying Robyn Hitchcock lately - I Often Dream of Trains and Gotta Let this Hen Out! Surprised I hadn't really listened to him sooner. Want to get more. It was his appearance in a Syd Barrett documentary which got me interested.

If you like Robyn Hitchcock you HAVE to get The Soft Boys Underwater Moonlight.

Have you heard "Awaken" yet? A masterpiece.

I'm heavily into Macca at the moment. The man's a craftsman and if you really dig into his catalogue there is trully magnificent stuff there. Yeah, he's silly and trite, but there is really is some substance to it all.

Eric Johnson is unbelievable.

Yes, he is.

 

See him live, he will blow you away!!!

 

 

He's a killer piano player too, apparently. That's why his guitar chords are so unique.

[PhilCastro]

The Who F*cking Rock and nobody can tell me otherwise!!!!

Get Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon, at their bluesy-rootsy best. Their breakthrough alum Piledriver really is something else. Balls to the wall boogie all the way, with two quite beautiful slower numbers thrown in. Check out Paper Plane on Youtube first maybe. Then try Quo, Hello, On The Level or Blue for You. What they did was simple, but they did it very well.

[Hatchetaxe&saw]

Mercury Rev should be paying Daniel Johnston millions. Since Deserter's Songs onwards they've just re-arranged Daniel's work.

I am intrigued by Ry Cooder's new album I, Flathead.

It's very good, better than Chavez Ravine and My Name Is Buddy, but they got much better reviews.

QUOTE (King Troll @ Sep 4 2008, 01:18 PM) Kings X are the most highly overrated band, by the fewest number of people. You've got one Kings X album, you've got them all. Status Quo, now there's an underrated Rock band. I think your mouth and rectum just swapped places mate...although I agree about Quo Oh, that's just how he normally talks. Every once in a while, his rectum and mouth will switch back.

[Gompers]

Check out The John Mayer trio.

 

None of that your body is a wonderland crap. :geesh:

[Turn Me On Dead Man]

I need a fresh copy of Pink Floyd - Animals. It has been AGES since I've listened to it.

[Xanadu93]

Caress of Steel is severely underrated.

[RushLady]

I LOVE Metallica and I can't wait for Death Magnetic!!

[Verena]

I never enjoyied Avantasia before I saw their concert.

 

I don't like their older stuff though. But the last album, The Scarecrow is pretty great to listen!

 

I didn't know any of their songs before the concert start and I was amazed since the first songs they playied.

 

I recommend some songs: Twisted Mind; The Scarecrow; Carry Me Over, Lost in Space, I Don't Believe in Your Love.

My random music thought of today: Porcupine Tree's Deadwing is one of the most beautiful albums I have ever heard. Gavin Harrison is a fantastic drummer with his own distictive style and sound.

[Mystic Slipperman]

I remember the first time we heard Porcupine Tree's "Stupid Dream" album, in 1999. From the opening of the first track (Even Less) our jaws were on the floor.

 

Although I love everything they've done since then (and a lot of what came before) it's still my favorite PT album.
