The Tangent - Anything and everything.
The Who - Tommy
The Who - Who's next
The Who - Live at Leeds
Pink Floyd - Obscured by clouds
Pink Floyd - More

I know The Who might not be a "Moon Band" but Tommy should be IMHO.

playing Steely Dan today reminded me of time I did Quardaphenia. A lot of fun, but Tommy may not work due to the short songs and connectivity. i sure wouldn't want to hear the songs chopped up like that....but yes what a classic:ditto:

Further along on my new listening habits.

Threshold - Dead Reckoning (Great new album from these Prog metallers)
Threshold - Critical Energy (Fantastic Live album recorded in Holland)
Galahad - Empires Never Last (Latest album. Some great hooks in these songs)

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - 4 Way Street. (A mate just gave me this album. I hadn't listened to this since 1972 and had almost forgotten how wonderful it is. David Crosby has the most beautiful voice and the songs really are of the moment. Think Woodstock, Vietnam War protests, the hippy dream that was still happening and a lot of love and peace. A time that a lot of we older Moonies might remember quite well [or maybe remember is too strong a word to use. Perhaps I should have said experienced.] Whatever it was I've grown to love this album again over the last few days and will play it for a long time to come.)

Very weird. My friend gave me the first CSN and I just played it the other day. Gueneviere, Wooden Ships (the Airplane version great too).... timeless stuff.

- About five hours of something recorded from the Finnish radio that 99% of the Moonies wouldn't want to know more about.

What do you think of the new....Fill in the blank
What can't you stop playing?
What disc has held your interest for awhile?
Which Tracks knock you out?
And of course, What new CD's disappoint, good at first then forgotten later, and finally, what discs are just bad


The new Focus (Focus 9) is an incredible piece of work, that I have not been able to put down since I got it.

I can't stop playing The Guess Who, I am not sure why, but since I have replaced my GW vinyl collection I just can't stop playing them. Maybe its because they were such a great band in my humble opinion.

There are two disks actually, both come from the guitarist Phil Mananzanera and are titled 6:00 PM, and 50 minutes later. Both have some beautiful guitar work as well as some harmonica from Chrissy Hines (neat!)

The track that knocks me out every time I hear it is Grobschnitts 60 minute masterpiece Solar Music.

An album I got I was excited about than lost the thrill is the new Caravan CD Unauthorized Breakfast Item. It is a good CD, but does not get played as much as I first got it.

And last is a band I have had a really hard time getting into and that is Conspiracy with Chris Squire and Billy Sherwood, I don't that I would call them a waste of a disk, but they continue to collect dust in my CD collection.

There is one disk I picked up that should never have been done known as The Hounds of Baskerville. That is all i have to say about that one.

La torre del alchimista , very nice italian prog , tons of flute and (sampled)hammond
Japan Oil on canvas a kind of live best of by a very arty band of the eighties , deserves more , Tin drum LP and tracks like gentleman takes polaroid/nightporter are gems
Ben Harper Diamond on the inside , he did this record with his own two hands ;-) , and some helping innocent criminals:rockband:
Dream Theater , Live scenes from NY CD 1 , not my cyp of tea but Home is a killer
TFK Unfold the future CD 1 (Love Silent Inferno):notworthy

Good to see the Davey Pattison Trower records get some love... I'll do a Trower show at some point......Off of those I really dig "If You Really Want To Find Love", that's got a lot of soul.

Symphony X...I'll be seeing them next week - if I hand around that long. It's 90 minutes away and I'm there early to see another band.....

I've actually considered bying some Gaye and perhaps other Motown artists in the future. Also at least a little bit of Sam Cooke...

In addition, I need to explore some good funk, of course. :)
