Segue Myles Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Saga are astounding! I get Rush, Toto and new wave vibes, and it is really atmospheric! New wave is something that generally turns me off, really...but if still be willing to check them out because of the other two reference points, there. New Wave was a bit of a mistake on my part...

Saga's first 7 albums indeed beats rush 80's run for me. Big statement but i could listen to those first 7 on a loop. Love it. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a Styx vibe at times from Saga, mixed with eighties Rush, ABBA melodies and Toto levels of musicality. Not prog, if you ask me, but proggy pop rock in the vein of late seventies Kansas (only, in my opinion, better!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Images At Twilight is an incredible album. So far, my absolute hands down favourite Saga album! Incredible songs, the melodies are off the charts, and the structure if the songs are totally unpredictable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick I hear the prog now, on Images At Twilight. But because it feels so totally unforced, it comes across as easier listening than most of the pretentious prog acts I am used to boring myself with (being a nice young man, I shan't wreck peoples lives slating any particular bands *cough* ELP *cough*).

Currently playing K-pop girl band Girls Generation. So much of the sixties Motown, showgirls style harmonies mixed with modern girl band pop, I absolutely love them! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Listened to SK........It is a step down from Images at Twilight. quite a big step down........wasn't feeling it as much. still good.......not great.

Segue Myles Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I hope so! I've been so moody lately and a big part of that is my dwindling interest in music. Playing Foreigner though, I do really enjoy this band, whatever my mood! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Awake Is much better then i thought. This album to me is what Hemispheres is to Segue. maybe my mood is just right. Space dyed Vest is so beautiful. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space dyed Vest is so beautiful. Mick I think most bands I rave about have a love/hate album. The biggest for me: 1. Rush- Hemispheres2. Bruce Springsteen- Born In The USA3. Yes- 90215; Big Generator4. Toto- Hydra; Kingdom Of Desire5. Fleetwood Mac- Tango In The Night All these albums have moments where they really HIT me as something great. Other days, I wanna be hit.

Only artist to really mean anything to me lately is seventies Rush, and select Jimmy Eat World albums. I was feeling the same about a week ago, and I dug back into things I've not paid attention to for a couple of years- it's been really good. Sounds like much the same as you did with Jimmy Eat World. (I was going to use an acronym for that band's name, but then, umm, no. Decided against it!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would place four or five songs on my all time favourite list! Go figure...but as an album it has, I swear, some of the worst songs The Beatles ever wrote. Magical Mystery Tour as a whole is WAY better, even if it does lack a song as great as A Day In The Life, or as affecting as She's Leaving Home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
