Recommended Posts

Create your prefect Prog-era Rush album by combining stuff from CoS, 2112, aFtK and H

 

Here's the rules:

1. One of the album sides must be a sidelong epic (Lamneth, 2112 or Hemispheres).

2. Must contain at least one long song (Necromancer, Xanadu, La Villa or Cygnus X-1).

3. Must contain at least one song from each of the four albums.

4. Must not exceed 45:00 in length.

 

Go!

Total - 45:25 (I went over - sue me - too many restrictions for this thread!)

 

Only over by 25 seconds, and with the minimum 4 songs. I'll allow it!

 

A record company in 1978 would never let Bastille Dave go over by nearly 9 minutes, however. It wouldn't fit on a vinyl LP!

Rule #3 made it more difficult for me, because I feel it's a crime to leave off LVS... but...

 

 

 

Hemispheres

 

Xanadu

Bastille Day

Cinderella Man

Yes, it's over 45 min but still would make a legitimate vinyl. Foxtrot by Genesis is 53 minutes.

You didn't follow the rules... and it has nothing to do with length of tracks...

Not necessarily my favorite songs, but that would be one of the best albums of all time. ohmy.gif 1022.gif

Fair enough. I picked 45 minutes not because it's the standard length of an old-school vinyl LP, but because the longest of the Kimono albums, Caress of Steel, is almost exactly 45 minutes long.

 

Besides, this exercise would be easy and boring if we were allowed to fill up a 78 minute CD-R.

 

Having said that, I'm drooling over the perfect, tiny playlists you guys have made.

 

Check this out... 3 more under 45 minutes with no overlap:

 

Caress of Kings

2112

Bastille Day

Closer To The Heart

The Trees

Xanadu

 

21 Spheres

A Farewell To Kings

Cinderella Man

Something For Nothing

La Villa Strangiato

The Fountain Of Lamneth

 

HemiSteel

A Passage To Bangkok

The Necromancer

Cygnus X-1

Cygnus X-1 Book 2 Hemispheres
