Segue Myles Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Pearl Jam Honestly one of the best discographies ever. I only dislike one album, and that's Gigaton. But hey! I have two brilliant versions of Ten so that makes up for it 😂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the ZZ Top song Pearl Necklace, the kind of necklace they're referring to is more like a Jam than a Pearl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I don’t obsess over any bands anymore. Which isn’t to say that I don’t love music as much as ever- I absolutely do. But obsessing, like a little schoolgirl, talking about how dreamy some group is? Not for me, thanks. Maybe I’ve become an old curmudgeon? (**as he puts on the latest Megadeth for the 317th time and thrashes his thin-haired head around, in joyful release…**) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Avenged Sevenfold Periphery Between The Buried and me. Still love A7X. The new album has only grown stronger in my heart, lol Periphery is a band i'd flirted with for a few years and now have clicked they make that Djent style more workable for me. as for BTBAM. i know the band name because Portnoy from DT has always cited them as a fav. but i wasn't ready, lol. What an interesting band and one i can say I LOVE the harsh vocals on......gasp. Only heard like 4 albums and i'm sticking to those for now......but wow. what a band.

I just meant bands you're really into at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's maybe my fav thing they ever did. truly. The response from the places i've seen has been mostly positive. With the folks not getting thinking we're crazy. But among prog heads it's being welcomed with open arms. Mick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Hermit Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Years ago (after The Stage was released) I brought up A7X in a thread somewhere here and got tarred and feathered and run out on a rail in response. It was exasperating trying to point out to people that never listened to that album (or anything but a couple of radio songs) that this band has serious talent and creates much unique music of a very proggy nature. They take more chances than anyone else I can think of today, now that Radiohead and SOAD seem to have stopped making music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Mick Yeah, by the time of The Last Waltz, he was so inconsistent night to night. You can find the full night's performance here and there...and a few of the tunes that he sang that didn't make the album/film are pretty awful. But then, what - 2 weeks before? - they go on SNL and he sings a version of Georgia On My Mind that is breathtaking. My god. He was also pretty special in that both his falsetto and full voice were equally amazing. As you said, when he belted it, he sounded like Ray Charles. But when he went up into that upper register (Lonesome Suzie, Whispering Pines) it broke your heart in a whole other way. I'm gonna put on Big Pink now.
