Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 it's been a while but i figured while i'm in Quarantine. i'd revive this. i had been getting depressed for a while what with horrible news and people just miserable in general. i'm just not getting back into serious music mode. it's funny EP did a journey thread i've been into them lately. it's funny they are known as hit makers but their albums as whole works are awesome. and perry remains a golden voice in his prime most people would still kill to have. Messy personal problems aside. they were a truly great band. Mick When I first started high school and I was really starting to make some choices about my favorite music, Journey actually made the shortlist for my top 5 bands. Now I can't say that they'd get close today, but I can still hear clearly what I did then that made me love them. Classic songwriting, ear-catching vocals, massive harmonies, shining guitar work, and a bluesy background. They had a ton going for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I love Journey. When I first joined this forum, they were one of those bands I dismissed as cheesy old school rock. Once I took up the recommendation to play Infinity, well, I became obsessed. I love five of their albums to death! I'm under lockdown, music and movies is a must. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journey was my first AOR band (before i put a name to the style, lol) and i have a MAJOR soft spot for them. now that i've dived deep into the genre i wouldn't call them my fav AOR band. HOWEVER......i do think Perry is the gold standard for AOR singers. as evidenced by the many perry clones that popped up in AOR after.

Speaking of AOR, I was watching an episode of a documentary series called Rock Legends recently where they tried to call AOR, as I know it from this forum, "American Rock." The whole episode was about Boston, REO Speedwagon, and Styx, and though they did have a lot of interesting things to say about the three bands and their style of music, hearing them continually say stuff like "Boston's first album really pioneered the American Rock style" or "Styx were really the definitive American Rock band" was pretty cringey. So I'm glad I know the term AOR form this forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOR'S catchier. it's a great genre. and what's weird it has a unioue flavor they really doesn't exist in other genre's. it's like it's own bubble, lol Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Oh EP. if you like Pink floyd/genesis i'd suggest Pendragon to you.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Cool to see what you guys are into right now! Getting bright summery vibes from Segue and headphone session vibes from Mick. It's all great! Honestly I've been jumping between things like I'm playing frogger. What with the massive load of new records I got from my dad's friend recently and another sizable chunk of new things I've snagged since being stuck at home, I'm almost struggling just to keep up with all this new music. But here are a few I've been playing a lot in the past few months: King CrimsonJimmy Eat WorldJethro TullDef LeppardMuseo Rosenbach As of right now I just listened to Deftones Around The Fur and Sum 41 All Killer, No Filler for the first time each in the past 24 hours. Loved both! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musically there more geniais but their lead singer guitarist plays just like David gilmour Mick I've been itching to check out some of this kind of newer prog recently, I'll check them out! Btw, the album I posted at the top of the page while back is also neo-prog, somewhere between Genesis and Yes with pristine female vocals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 It's been ages! So here's my update on bands I'm currently obsessed with: Kings Of LeonBiffy ClyroThe DoorsBruce SpringsteenEpica And you? EP I include you too! Trivium. But you already knew that lol. I find it odd that I missed out on them for as long as I did. It's not like they're some under the radar band that I never heard of until recently. Their name has always had a solid presence in the metal world over the years, I just never gave them a listen for whatever reason. A lot of what they do well is what I like about metal in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
