Tommy Sawyer Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I still don't have half of the classic albums I feel like I should have, so the only new music for 2011 for me was Fly From Here, which I love. Oh, and I did listen to A Grounding in Numbers and I like it. As for shows: Rush vs. Yes/Styx Who do you think I enjoyed more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will probably change when I see The Descendants this week. I'm a HUGE fan of writer/director, Alex Payne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadu93 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'll have to go through my albums again because I haven't been accumulating much music or listening to what I've got. That said, a lot of what I got this year was pretty good. Standout album would probably be The King is Dead by The Decemberists, considering it's about the only 2011 album I've listened to with any regularity. As for gig of the year, I only went to two: My Chemical Romance in a small theater (about 3,500) and Rush in a medium arena (about 12,000). This was my first time seeing MyChem, and while they didn't perform my absolute favorites, the band were on fire and it was amazing being on the floor, 25 feet away from the stage. In addition, they played some older stuff, which was nice to hear. (And my god, the crowd was so loud... they may have been part of the reason my ears were ringing on the way home. On the Rush front, this was my first time seeing Rush indoors (the others were amphitheaters), and, being the first show of the 2011 gig, they were incredible. Sound was amazing, Geddy sounded good, everyone played great, and the crowd was great... I haven't seen all of the new video but this show should have been recorded instead.

Unattractive Truth Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Rush in Las Vegas was absolutely fantastic. They sounded perfect that night. And they rocked. Favorite gig of the year, however, has to go to Roger Waters: The Wall Live. I don't really have an album of the year. Nothing spoke to me.

Unattractive Truth Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I suppose I could add one album: Move Like This by The Cars. No, it's not a classic or anything, but it was sure nice to hear them play together again. And it is chock-full of poppy goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
