Re: Jethro Tull
It may well be Mr Hammond-Hammond but don't overlook this gem
Containing the "original" TPP album, the aborted "Chateau D'Isaster" tapes
Robust stuff?
Not 'arf!
[I assume you were fortunate enough to see Tull avec Abrahams...?]

Re: The Alan Parsons Project
They only made two proper LPs Pampered Menial and At the Sound of the Bell.
I'd be very interested in which one you have.
The jury is out as to which is best. I'll go with the first Pampered Menial although the second has one of my favourite tub-thumpers...
Re: Warhorse
Yes an excellent band - I have both too although the first is superior methinks.
Quite close to the DP Mk1 sound and that isn't a band thing!
As for Purple, many would agree with me that the eponymous LP is their finest.

Re: The Alan Parsons Project
Yes, sorry my perceptive friend for my obvious ambiguity.
The latter.
I have a soft spot for the unusual voice - Family's Roger Chapman, Pavlov's Dog's David Surkamp, If's JW Hodkinson et al

I used to frequent John Peel's In Concert Show at The Paris Studios, London from around 1970 to 1974 and had the pleasure of seeing Mogul Thrash twice.
They were robust
And loud.
Wetton has a great voice and is a very solid bass player
He has a long pedigree which is well deserved...
Re: Any King Crimson Fans in the House?
Not Crimso.
Discipline onwards is the band Discipline.
They were called Discipline for six months and then Fripp realised that perhaps that was a mistake and reverted back to King Crimson.
Post Red is just nonsense and not worthy of the Crimso...
Re: Atomic Rooster
I am a sucker for the Hammond organ.
VC was a master.
Sadly his head was not as sound as his nimble hands.
One of rocks sad losses.
He never knew which direction to go in.
Dexy's Midnight Runners...?
Behave.
Listen to the opening line of the opening track...
No, agreed my learned friend they certainly weren't as robust as in their heyday.
I recall The Chalk Farm Roundhouse gig back in 1971 as if it were yesterday.
My point about the recent tour is that the old boy (and girl) can still hack it.

Re: Camel
We will have to differ my learned friend
We will have to differ
TSG to my old ears, whilst still robust, is somewhat lacklustre compared to the giants such as Mirage, Camel; and Moonmadness.
Treat yourself this weekend - give Nude another listen.
It was a mighty fine...
One of the five greatest bands that ever walked the planet.
I saw them live in 2010 and in 2009, replete with Steve Hillage, and they were superb. As good as they ever were back in the hippy-dippy days
Their latest studio LP 2032 is well worth having
It is amazing to think that Daevid...
Re: Camel
I certainly do not agree that The Snow Goose is their best record. Far from it.
In my view it is in order:
Mirage
Moonmadness
Camel
Rain Dances
Nude
The Snow Goose
Breathless
After that they were a spent force.
I saw them umpteen times in their heyday and they were...
Re: The Alan Parsons Project
Pyramid has some excellent material and flows really fluidly.
Zakatek has indeed a superb voice.
Anybody whose surname begins with 'Z' is alright in my book
Vocalists are clearly a matter of taste. [I adore Lee Jackson's voice for example, but I know I am...
Re: The Alan Parsons Project
My view is that the first three are the only truly robust APP LPs.
After that the sound becomes a little too commercial for my taste
The deluxe version of his best, Tales of Mystery, is delightful with the original '76 mix and the later '86 remix.
Orson is...
Re: Jethro Tull
One of the five greatest bands that ever walked the planet.
I have seen them on every tour they have ever done starting with the first back in November 1968.
Okay, Anderson's voice is now shot to pieces but he can still pay a mean flute (and guitar)
Robust stuff
