Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood

 

I love every song so much! :haz: Except for Picbroch (Cap in Hand). :(

:boo hiss: :wtf:

:huh: It's boring and does not fit with the rest of the album at all. :zzz:

I wouldn´t include Clockwork Angels just because of BU2B2 - it´s an interlude, at best, not a song in itself. But ok, I see your point, and I´ll bite:

 

Grace Under Pressuse - Red Lenses.

 

Interlude, shminterlude - it's a track I have to skip. And I ALMOST included Halo Effect, but I don't skip it every time. It is a noticeably weaker track, however, compared to everything else. I often skip it.

 

And I love Red Lenses! Admittedly, that song and Kid Gloves took the longest to grow on me from GUP, but I got over that many years ago. The lyrics are lots of fun and it's an interesting departure for Rush.

Like BU2B2 isn't an interesting departure for Rush? Yeah, they're kicking stuff like that all the time :laughing guy:

 

It may be a departure, but it's depressing and unnecessary to the story.

it's pretty cool how you can determine what is and what isn't necessary for a band to put on an album...RollingStone could use you to write reviews Goobs.

 

It IS cool isn't it? :P

 

I wouldn't mind writing their reviews. Have their people call my people. ;)

I called they're people and this is what they said: "if the Yukon Blade Grinder won't hire him then we won't touch him with a 10 foot cattle prod"

 

Yes, but the Yukon Blade Grinder isn't re... you know, never mind. :unsure:

It's OK goobs you can say it :eyeroll:

 

I was going to say the Yukon Blade Grinder isn't read by the people at Rolling Stone. ;)

What are you talking about? That's where they get their insider Rush music news :D-13:

 

Dude, even the people on TRF don't read it. ;)

Goobs, I know you do. You can come out of the closet now...it's safe :kisshug: Edited by Tombstone Mountain

Dire Straits - Making Movies.....Les Boys :LOL:

 

That was the first one that occurred to me. Otherwise, one of the greatest albums ever recorded.

 

Another that occurred to me, and I'm kind of surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet:

 

The Cars - The Cars (I'm in Touch with Your World).

 

A slow bizzare clunker in a sea of complete awesome.

I'd say Tales From Topographic Oceans. It's probably my favorite Yes album, tied with Relayer, but the first 10 minutes of The Ancient are absolutely ridiculous. It sounds like mayhem (and not in a good way). The Leaves of Green is SO good too, but you have to sit through so much nonsense to get to it.

Houses Of The Holy - D'yer Maker and Dancing Days

 

I like both of those. The Crunge is the one from that album that I have to skip.

 

Yeah, that is to HotH what Mother is to Synchronicity. There were better efforts at funk (Hots On For Nowhere,Trampled Under Foot) from LZ. This ain't one of them.

The Ancient is one of the better parts of TfTO. The weakest part would be side 2.

Compared to everything else on Copper Blue, I just feel Hoover Dam comes up short. I've never liked New World Man. Don't know why. Just don't. Not a fan of cheesey either...so alas, Everyday Glory doesn't do it for me. :(

Love the keyboard flourish in the middle. It's like an indie Rick Wakeman!!(well, maybe not, but cute all the same)
