    My Top 20 Lists that I compiled as a kid 1973-1990

    Thanks Recorg...... Wasn't sure how a Vanity Thread would be recieved, especially since I am a new here. Totally agree with assessment of ELP. As talented as they are, their pinnacle of musicianship coincided with their most unlistenable album. Tarkus, is a masterpiece of composition, but...

    The Catfish

    Thanks for the greetings. I am absolutely floored by the knowldedge and insight of the CRF members here. Where at other areas, I felt like a facilitator, here I feel like I am a minor leaguer, now joining the Big Leagues. I just hope I can do my share to contribute.

    My Top 20 Lists that I compiled as a kid 1973-1990

    Thank you so much for the kind words.... And ...No, please take part in the thread That is half the fun of reminiscing about our youth. And it might give a chance for some to hear of a band that they may have missed in the day. As I progress with these, there are some obscure ones that...

    Review The Beatles- Magical Mystery Tour (1967) *****

    CRF citizens have been kind so far. Now, I am going into dangerous territory, and provide one that is more wildly accepted as iconic. I mean this one and Sargent Peppers have been so parsed, discussed, and studied, I am really treading on some dangerous turf here. So, if you think I am FOS...

    Rate The Song Above You ....Metal / Heavy Rock Version \m/

    To all: Thanks for letting me particpate. "The Exploited"- Anti-UK Very tight, strong bass line, and soloing. I can see pieces of Metallica, Gwar, and Sabbath as influences. but enough of their own innovative stuff to keep it interesting. Of course, being Scottish, had to be a hinder for...

    New Tony Iommi track....

    Iommi is the reason my first guitar was a maroon SG, like the one shown on my profile pic. Not sure if this has been shared previously, but I enjoyed this YT mini-docmentary of Iommi and guitar work. The Tony Iommi and Brian May jam is worth the price of admission alone.

    Tower Of Power Vs. Chicago

    Being a Trombone Player in High School and College, my choice had to be Chicago. In fact, I'd list James Pankow as in my Top 10 Rock heros in the 1970's. But behind Jimmy Page of course.

    Rate The Song Above You ....Metal / Heavy Rock Version \m/

    My compliments to the CRF members for their knowledge. I considered myself a pretty astute student of Classic Rock, but I am seeing all kind of bands that I didn't know existed. I might be over my head here. :blush2:

    Review Nine Inch Nails- The Downward Spiral (1994) ****

    I can remember when NIN first came out, at the time, and maybe my age snobbery, thinking that a good bit of it was randon cacphonous noise. After 30+ years and a unbiased listen, I found that from a technical merit, Reznor is approaching genius status, in his ability to create a macrabe, but...

    Review Nine Inch Nails- The Downward Spiral (1994) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Nine Inch Nails- The Downward Spiral (1994). **** I know today's selection is going to roll some eyeballs. I understand that NIN is not everyone's level of enjoyment, and I have often said that this is maybe one of the most misunderstood, under-understood acts in...

    Did you try sneaking Tape Recorders into concerts in the 70s - 90s?

    All those holding up the cell phones is crazy. Back in my concert going era, I wanted to be un-emcumbered and un-inebriated so I could fully enjoy all the aspects of the show. The point they use cellphones as cameras is ridculous, since if they are just patient enough, they can see the same or...

    Favorite MOMENT of a song that hits you on a deep soul level (but isn't one of your favorite songs)?

    Funny, before I opened this thread, and gave it some thought, I honestly came up with another PF song before clicking on. (And I am not a huge PF fan). Mine is "On the Turning Away" from "A Momentary Lapse of Reason". Gilmour's solo, though not really technically wizardry, extracts such soul...

    My Top 20 Lists that I compiled as a kid 1973-1990

    First, let me say that I have been so impressed with the level of knowledge of the member base here, and there is so much thoughtful discussion, it will take weeks for me to get my bearings. I hope that I can at least add a little to the excellence that this forum has provided. As far as what...

    The song stuck in your head thread!

    Stuck, and not in a good way. At a recent trivia event, the Pop Corn Song from the mid '70's came up as an audio question. PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!!! Arghhhh

    Who here plays the guitar?

    Hope I am not crashing the party too badly. I am (was..lol) a musican, a band nerd, and played in my University Marching Band 4 years. Can play 12 instruments, but sadly guitar ranks about in 12th place for me in proficency. Still that hasn't stopped me from strumming around though.... My...

    The Catfish

    Thanks all.... My wheelhouse is Prog and Hard Rock, but I am of the opinion that there is some redeeming quality to all musical genres. Well.... except (c)Rap

    Review Rush-2112 (1976) *****

    Looked at my inventory of reviews, and I've done 178 the past couple of years. I am not sure of the board's protocols, format, manners, or rules on these reviews. So, please be kind and patient with me. If I can start with one, here is Rush's 2112. Classic Rock Album of the Day- Rush-2112...

    How did you find CRF?

    No. 1 when I Duck Ducked it. The algorithm gods have smiled down on the site. Sure seem to be a sizable place, with a lot of knowledgeable particpants.

    My first general post here, and I am seeing that I am among others, who take these reviews seriously. I have a few hundred I might add. (Gradually). :) Any certain one, or band that anyone may be interested?
