    Jethro Tull (Official Thread)

    Re: Jethro Tull I'm on a full blown Tull kick at the moment. Today I walked into a bricks-n-mortar store and bought 2 Jethro Tull CDs I've been wanting to buy for years: This Was Broadsword And The Beast I've heard most of "This Was" and man I'm loving it. My Sunday Feeling, Serenade For...

    Jethro Tull (Official Thread)

    Re: Jethro Tull Yeah I'm not sure where Jethro's headed anymore. It seems like the band is dying a long, slow death. I heard a few years ago that Andy Giddings (keys)and Jonathan Noyce (bass) were dismissed by Ian or both left for whatever reasons. I know Ian's done a lot of solo tours and...

    Jethro Tull (Official Thread)

    Re: Jethro Tull Any love for DotCom? A much maligned album but I think it's damn good. Been waiting for a follow up to this album for ten years now (the Christmas album doesn't count). Favorite tracks are: Spiral, Hunt By Numbers, Black Mamba, El Niño, Far Alaska, Hot Mango Flush.

    Jethro Tull (Official Thread)

    Re: Jethro Tull I have a pretty large collection of Jethro Tull albums. I got into them around 10-11 years ago. I'd heard some radio hits and odds and ends in the early 70s but never got into them. Better late than never though. Great band. Love most of the 70s stuff and a couple from the 80s...

    New Jimmy Page book? $700?

    700 dollars? I wouldn't pay that kinda money for a Beatles book signed by all the Beatles. People will buy it though.

    Led Zeppelin (Official Thread)

    Re: The OFFICIAL Led Zeppelin Thread I think PRESENCE kicks ass. Not a bad track on it. I think they were even a year or so ahead of their time with some of the rockabilly type of stuff that was on the album. Truly a great album.

    Metallica (Official Thread)

    Re: Metallica I actually heard "Death Magnetic" before ever hearing any of the 80s albums. DM is a pretty good album but I can't hear it all the way through in one sitting. It's just too brutal sounding. It's relentless. It doesn't have the dynamics of the early albums with the acoustic guitar...

    Queen (Official Thread)

    Re: The Official Queen Thread Haven't been listening to much Queen in recent years but they are a very good band from the 70s (haven't heard much at all from the 80s). I think my favorite is Queen II, followed by Sheer Heart Attack, and A Night At The Opera (Prophet Song is unbelievable).

    Metallica (Official Thread)

    Re: Metallica Right now my favorite Metallica album is .... KILL 'EM ALL !!!:buzz: Love the attitude and snottiness of this band. The guitars sound like power tools. Favorite tracks are: No Remorse Seek And Destroy :oy:

    Favorite Beatles Album

    A Hard Day's Night! What else would it be? :grinthumb My favorite Beatles album changes every few years. It's really impossible to pick one. For years it was Revolver, then for a while it was The White Album, then Abbey Road. I've always loved the pre-Rubber Soul era (what I call the "Yeah...

    Thin Lizzy (Official Thread)

    Re: Thin Lizzy True. They're better off just calling it Thin Lizzy. I'd think most fans would know it's really a tribute. I know I read something somewhere once where John Sykes said they'd never record any new music as Thin Lizzy or words to that effect. I guess as long as Scott Gorham...

    Thin Lizzy (Official Thread)

    Re: Thin Lizzy There's a song by Thin Lizzy called "Song For Jimi" that I've always loved. I heard when I was borrowing a the boxset "Vagabonds, Warriors, etc." I've come to learn now that it was recorded in 1980 with Eric Bell on guitar. Cool song. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can...

    What Do You Consider To Be An Original Lineup?

    Whoever was in the band when they recorded their first album is the original lineup (imo). But most bands have a "core" set of members while some other position in the band is a revolving door of constant change. An example would be Jethro Tull. There's a band that has had many line up changes...

    Is the "Art Rock" genre/label extinct?

    In the 70s it was all art/rock. "Progressive" was used even earlier. "Prog" was invented (as a genre label) in the 80s I think. To me all are interchangeable. But on prog forums they're distinct.
