Re: Rate The Song Above You II

Great melodic rock by Yes. I misunderstood, why they didn't included that song to original album 90125, because it's a wonderful tune with outstanding guitar and keyboard parts. 9/10.



That's a grower, didn't like it so I played it again, then it was marginally better, so I gave it a 3rd play and I realised what I was missing....the vocal for me outshines the lead guitar part, not something that Robin Trower probably would wish to hear I'm sure! I think that's Jim Dewar on vocals, who very sadly died a few years ago, but who is so good that you'd swear you were listening to Paul Rodgers.

8/10

Next for a rating, a unique British rock 'n roll institution that should be protected by an Act of Parliament....the track is Big Fat Mama...

Hmm. First time hearing them. It's quite good. A little more Punky in it's approach that I expected.

7.5/10


Now it's time for some Folk-y goodness:

Re: Rate The Song Above You II

Nice bit of bluegrass, that guy can play the fiddle and no mistake, not sure I could listen to that sort of stuff all night, but you can't fault that so long as it's a kind of music you dig, give it an 8/10.

Next the sadly lamented, no longer, R.E.M.

Absolute classic. It's sad they're gone. 8/10.


One of my all time favorite 70's bands. Shame they didn't do more back then before going full on Doom.
