    Ten Album Covers

    There isn't a thread for bad album covers but I have to say I really dont like the ones by many rock bands that have sleazy sexual covers(titles) that apparently want to appeal to 14 year old boys or others with that mentality also. Not naming any specific bands/covers but I'm sure we all know a...

    King Crimson (Official Thread)

    So far got through Space Force, White Knight, Global, and State,,,,,there are a few interesting tracks at times....would not buy any of the lps but a 'best of anthology' would be interesting. I quite like Arena.....best rock songs he's done in many years and he does them in the style of other...

    Review Deep Purple- Shades of Deep Purple (1968) ** 1/2

    Yes,,,I wish he would have stayed with Strawbs for another lp or two to see where that went ...instead Weaver then Hawken took over. They were fine but would have been interesting to see if Wakeman added something different.

    Review Deep Purple- Shades of Deep Purple (1968) ** 1/2

    The first Warhorse is a cool prog hard rock gem.....like a cross between Uriah Heep and DP. Sadly imho the second lp was not as good or interesting but still has a few good proggy hard rock tracks. I'm a fan of these more obscure proggy things so they appeal to me but most people prefer the...

    Paul McCartney (Official Thread)

    I see Paul has a new lp out,,,,,'Boys of Dungeon Lane'. Sounds like typical McCartney.....I did like a few songs. Havent bought anything since McCartney 2 to be honest. I watched him on Colbert's last show do 'Hello Goodbye' with Colbert and others. So...for fans.......from 1982-2020 what are...

    King Crimson (Official Thread)

    I lost track of Todd years ago after Hermit of Mink Hollow (1978) so dont know much about him and money grabbing. I like all the earlier lps and even his Nazz days but I had a number of his lps already so stopped buying them. Also enjoyed a few of the early Utopia lps. There are so many good...

    Never heard of Anthony Gomes (or Streetheart for that matter) but Gomes cover was electric and while this song was on an earlier lp I had to post it. ZZTop meets Bob Seeger meets Zep.... White Trash Princess (Peace Love and Loud Guitars)

    Anyone like trance?

    Listened to Psypsiq Jicuri....same thing ...sort of edm dance music with other things happening at times. I'd rather listed to Stereolab....they have a better mix of edm/trance blended with electronic pop...its not just 'dance music' which most of trance and edm seem to be.

    Anyone like trance?

    I have been a fan of Tangerine Dream since the early 70's....who are often mentioned as a huge influence on TRance.....what are some artists that you consider big in Trance....those on the list above? I listened to 4 or 5 tracks from Van Buuren and it sounded like typical EDM to me that you...

    King Crimson (Official Thread)

    The Rundgren track is from a Tribute lp version of the first lp.....they list the players in the article for each track. Rundgren and Arthur Brown did vocals only on '21st Man....' There is an alt version of that as well as an instrumental one. They have a few of the songs there and list all of...

    Review Deep Purple- Shades of Deep Purple (1968) ** 1/2

    Regarding 'Shades of Deep Purple' , Wakeman did indeed praise it commenting on Lords organ work....not much surprise since Wakleman also plays keys....but in the same breath he also praised some other UK lps.... Wakeman also highlighted other definitive UK records. His eclectic list included...

    That's a name I havent heard in years....I have some Pink Fairies songs on a Brit psych compilation. I n early days both Mick Farren(Deviants then turned to writing fiction) and Perigrine Took ( who was in T Rex early) founded them. 'Twink' played drums and was also the drummer for Tomorrow-...

    Review Deep Purple- Shades of Deep Purple (1968) ** 1/2

    I think I still have a beat up copy of this on vinyl. Havent played it in a very long time. I also have the other early ones on old vinyl....I like the third called 'Deep Purple'- an early psych-prog rock lp that worked for me . The first two imho had poor song selections and writing . I like...

    Best Cover Songs Redux

    Interesting version of an America song....might ck out their 'covers lp'. Can't say Im very familiar with their music so I sampled some and I sorta like some of their longer trippy songs.....might look into them a little. They remind me some of Brian JOnestown Massacre who I like.
