Now relistening to Who Are You, this album is awesome.

Yeah, it is. "Had Enough", "905" and "Trick of the Light" are another three of my favorite Entwistle songs, and the title track rocks beyond comprehension.

Yea I love those too, especially Trick of the Light, such a catchy song. The title track is the best.

I know those. Steeleye Span, Albion Band, John Renbourn Group, Dando Shaft, Sunforest... i tried all that were immediatly connected with or that sprung from members of the more famous groups, as indicated by their bios. Whatever Spotify has, which I hope is not everything, I probably tried. I guess we can only hope so much to find more of something so specific and unique.

Sorry I couldn't help you out, man. It's been a long time since I've actively listened to British folk-rock. Best of luck on your musical journey.

Also, I really like the piano work on the Shadow Gallery album I'm listening to.

Nice, I hope you will also like their other albums, but if you like Carved in Stone there's a high chance you will like the rest of their catalogue.

I'll be sure to check out their other albums, thanks a lot!

I saw it on your charts - it's interesting because i was familiar with the band's hits obviously - they get a lot of radio play. But I was more impressed by the songs I had never heard before on Billion Dollar Babies etc. - and then moving on to the solo Welcome to My Nightmare I couldn't help but feel it was lacking by comparison -BUT- i'm sure it will grow on me. Sometimes an album doesn't hit until you sort of find it again spontaneously thanks for the reply

Sure! Feel free to give me a follow. This avatar will probably only be temporary, btw. You have great taste in music!

Thanks, mutual great music haver! I will look forward to seeing your revolving door of avatars for whatever you make it become next. One of my closest friends drew this amazing picture of me a few years ago and I loved it so much that it I kept it here and I have a copy of it elsewhere too. My hair is no longer these colors, they have reverted back to their normal brown with hints of greying which, I am welcoming as it is the only color I have yet to see in there. And I'm letting it happen naturally!

That's cool. I have long brown hair, and when I grow older I intend to let it grey naturally.

This is up there with the greatest prog live albums!

Glad you enjoyed it! I really love Jon Camp's bass solo on "Ashes are Burning". And yeah, Annie's vocals are amazing throughout.

Yeah, agreed, it's an amazing album. I also got the third part which had another version of Sheherazade.

But yeah listening to Tusk again, that album is growing on me.

Tusk is full of great songs, but "Sarah", "Storms" and "Sisters of the Moon" really stand out for me. Like I said, I think that album is the best as far as Stevie Nicks compositions are concerned. I also like the Christine McVie tracks like "Brown Eyes" (Peter Green actually contributed some guitar parts on that one) and "Never Forget".

Yeah you're right this is my 3rd or 4th time listening to Tusk, and I can say that this is one of their best, maybe the second best after Rumours for me.

I need to look into it, baha'i - I've never heard of it actually.

Baháʼís are forbidden from drinking alcohol or using mind-altering drugs unless medically prescribed. This actually I agree with myself, or I try to go by that as well.

Ok, I might check it out, I do use spotify sometimes now that I figured out how to block the ads there.

Not yet. I must check it out, then! Thanks for the recommendation.

Oh yeah, this is awesome! Thanks for the recommendation. It's really heavier than the first studio albums, and I love how raw it is. I can see the similarity with Live at Leeds, also a lot of improvisation, and great guitar and bass of course. I am hoping for the grat drum solo in T.N.U.C. just like the studio version.

Also the sound of the audience is very loud, kinda gives off the feeling of being there almost.

Yeah Floating and the previous album ''Inside'' are by far their heaviest albums. After that they went more atmospheric and psychedelic space rock, rather than the hard rock on these two. That's right Ocean is great, it's the top rated album from Eloy on progarchives, so it's one of their proggiest I guess. I love it, but I think the inside and Floating might be more to my taste. Also I listen to music from itunes, which is from my CDs and what I've downloaded, but I also use spotify when I want to check out something new that I don't know, sometimes. But I do prefer using the itunes, even if it's a digital download. Just sometimes I do use spotify.

Yeah I actually agree, I first heard it probably at a similar age, I've known the Who since the age of 13 or 14, but I bought Quadrophenia album a bit later on, perhaps when I was 15, so around the same age as you, and it was my favorite album from them even back then, and I also can say it is my all time favorite album, nothing really comes to the perfection that that album is.

I always thought it was Entwistle doing that growl, like the growling vocals he did on Boris the Spider, Summertime Blues and Success Story. I always loved that Heinz Baked Beans track, "wots for tea, mum?"

But the vocals at the end of I can See for Miles I thought it sounded like Roger Daltrey, but I can be wrong.. Like he did clean vocals before that growl, and those sounded like Roger's, and then he turned it into a growl with the BEAST OF A MAN.. yea the wots for tea, mum was funny too.

Also it's a different type of growl than the one in Boris the Spider, so that's why I think it was Roger.

If you have some recommendations for me, let me know. Something relaxing maybe, like this one.

Have you ever listened to Terry Riley? His repeating synth patterns greatly influenced Pete Townshend on albums like Who's Next and Quadrophenia. I'm currently listening to A Rainbow In Curved Air, which is were the band Curved Air got their name. You might find it relaxing.

Oh nice, thanks man! I know the band Curved Air. I'll check out Terry Riley.

It's one of the best neo-prog bands, I like most of their albums.

Ah yes, Italian prog I have listnened to a few bands, my favorites were Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) my favorite, also good ones are Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, and Area and Le Orme.

Have you ever listened to the band Il Balletto Di Bronzo? If I recall correctly, they only released two albums back in the 70s, but their 2nd album "Ys" is one of my all-time favorite prog albums. It's an absolutely bonkers masterpiece.

Yes, I have listened to it last year, but I will listen to it again now. The Ys album.

My favorites are Ommadawn, Tubular Bells, Incantations, and Amarok. But yeah I really love most of his stuff, Crises is great, Maggie Riley is great on vocals, and it has one song with Jon Anderson from Yes, too. And yea I've seen The Exorcist as a kid, so that's when I heard the Tubular Bells part for the first time also. I think also the album ''Songs from the Distant Earth'' is great, it's a bit new age, but I really love the sounds on it.

I don't remember ever listening to Amarok, I'll have to listen to it sometime. I notice that it's one track that is about an hour long. That's prog for ya.

I've done Yes albums marathons, then Genesis 70s stuff, now I am doing a Pink Floyd marathon. Good stuff!!

All great bands. When I was in my late teens I was obsessed with The Yes Album and Close to the Edge. Of course, I've since come to love Tales From Topographic Oceans, Relayer, and what I consider to be an underrated gem, Drama. My favorite Pink Floyd album is probably Meddle, though I also love Wish You Were Here, Piper, and Animals. I actually love a lot of what they did during what I call their 'experimental' phase (post-Piper but pre-Dark Side), they did some really wild and creative stuff in those years. Atom Heart Mother is probably my favorite from that period.

Yeah I agree, Atom Heart Mother the title track is one of their best songs, and yeah Meddle just because of Echoes is probably my second favorite Pink Floyd album, my favorite will always be Animals, I love how aggressive it sounds, and great guitar work from Gilmour, amazing vocals from Roger as well. I love all those from Yes you mentioned, actually I listened to Ritual first on my Yes compilation CD, and so even from my first listen I loved Tales from Topographic Oceans, even though the Side 2 is my favorite with The Ancient and Ritual. Either Relayer or Close to the Edge is my favorite Yes album, but I do love The Yes Album and Fragile a lot too. Drama is great, the vocalist sounds just like Jon Anderson even. And I even like their post-Drama albums, some of them are cool, I even like the album ''Talk''.

Solid choices there. I'm with you on Jaws - that is actually one of my favourite films of all time regardless of genre. In that suspense-thriller category I love Alien too. Not a horror film but the film (drama television film) that had the most profound effect on me was nuclear war film Threads, that film traumatised me, even to this day I'd struggle to watch it again. I found it harrowing. The Wicker Man, The Thing are up there too. No doubt more will come into my mind throughout the day!

Yeah, I can't believe I forgot to mention Alien. I love the original Wicker Man (Christopher Lee is amazing in that one) too, and The Thing has some of the best practical effects ever. Great choices!

Thanks buddy. Christopher Lee was one of my favourite actors. I do like those Hammer horror productions. Have a good Sunday

Yeah no worries man. And yeah I Agree, I actually love more albums from Mahavishnu Orchestra, but yeah the debut is probably the best along with ''Birds of Fire'' I also really love ''Visions of Emerald Beyond'', and the Lost Trident Sessions. I am not sure if you'll like Magma, the thing is it's kinda avant garde prog, it's like for people who are into the weirder side of prog, for me it has taken me a long time to get into them, I first heard them a long time ago, and I wasn't a fan instantly, it took a long time to get into them properly, but I can say that it's worth it, as with other bands that grow on you, it's worth it though. But you'll see if you'll get into them.

Over The Hills and Far Away is just an amazing song, I love it so much, I actually used to play it in my acoustic guitar, one of the first songs I learnt from Led Zepp. I also think the song The Ocean is awesome rock tune, always gives me a happy mood. Yeah and I need to check out the whole debut Steely Dan debut, I only know the album Aja as a whole.

Steely Dan has a lot of great albums. My Dad left his record collection to me and he had albums like "Pretzel Logic" and "Katy Lied". I recommend both albums, you should check them out.

I will get to it soon, definitely man. Thanks.

I think they formed the same year (1968), with Rush forming first. I think according to Geddy, they started off trying to imitate Cream before they started to try to emulate Led Zeppelin. Of course, I read all this information years ago, so I could be wrong.

It's a bit odd when I see band : ''started in X year'' and then the first demo or recording is like many many years later, to me when a band start should be around the release of the first demo.

''The band was formed in 1968 when the members were in their teens and went through several transitions and name changes in a short span. The band first formed in late spring/summer 1968 as The Projection, then changed to Rush after bassist Jeff Jones joined the band. In summer 1969 bassist Geddy Lee was replaced by Joe Perna and the band changed their name to Hadrian. By September 1969, after another series of lineup changes, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and John Rutsey regrouped under the name Rush.'' I just read this, ok so they were under different names in the 60s, so there might be demos from the old name bands.

I love "In the Evening", too. I know that Page used the violin bow on an acoustic guitar on "In the Light", as well, which is another favorite of mine. Then again, I probably have about fifty favorite Zeppelin tunes lol. They just have so many great ones. It's actually been a bit cooler here in Virginia, since it's been raining a lot. I'm sure it will get hot again, though. Like you I'm very eager for autumn to come.

Oh yeah, I forgot about In The Light that it was done with a violin bow on an acoustic guitar, I love that song - one of their best epic songs for sure. I agree they have so many great songs. Here it's been just relentlessly hot, it should get a bit colder for a few days now, but then hot again.

My favorite Zeppelin song is "That's the Way". I was obsessed with that song when I was 17, I thought it was the most beautiful song I'd ever heard in my life. "Kashmir" is also probably in my top 20 (possibly top 10) songs of all-time. What are some of your favorites? Yeah, it cooled down here for a few days, but now the heat is back with a vengeance. I know what you mean, autumn can't come soon enough.

I would personally recommend the album "Agurire" if you want some relaxing music, it's hauntingly beautiful. Also, I love the Indian influences on albums like their "Nosferatu" soundtrack as well as the album "Das Hohelied Salomos". There's a whole lot of gems in their discography to discover. Glad you like them!

yeah, it's awesome! Listening to those albums right now from Spotify. I discovered that one of their tracks ''Kleiner Krieger'' from the Einsjäger & Siebenjäger album was used in Opeth's liveshows as an interlude music or something, I instantly recognised it when I listened to it. It comes off as no surprise since Mikael from Opeth loves all kinds of obscure 70s prog stuff! Which is one of the reasons Opeth is among my most favorite bands of all time. :)

Yeah, I love Opeth as well. I'm not normally into death/black metal, but I love their album "Still Life". I love the jazz influence and prog-rock references on that album, like how Mikael uses the first few chords from Camel's "Never Let Go" on the song "Benighted". I find that album is great to listen on crisp autumn and winter nights.

nice chart and profile photo

Thanks! You have great taste in music, by the way.

Hi, yes I have. I'm really interested to know about Ahsoka and Sabine's history that we didn't see in Rebels. I'm still fascinated by Baylan and Shin, as well. The performances are good, all around. The only thing I hated was the fact that Sabine was somehow able to survive being stabbed in the abdomen with no explanation. I'm also not to keen on visiting another galaxy, but we'll see how it goes. It was awesome to see Hera again, and Chopper was as funny as always. I hope we'll also see Zeb and Kanan (in flashbacks, obviously), and maybe even Kallus, as well. Only time will tell. What did you think about the episodes?

Yep, I was devasted to see Sabine being stabbed as I thought she wouldn't survive it. I am glad that she is alive but her miraculous recovery was very confusing. But other than that, I look forward to watching more episodes and seeing the story unfold. Also, I loved seeing Chopper again and the references to episodes of Rebels. Seeing Sabine put on a Mandalorian armour was beautiful and seeing Sabine play the hologram of Ezra was a tearjerker for me. And can't wait to see more characters like Kanan, Anakin and Kallus as you mentioned.

Glad you enjoyed it! We should talk again after the series is over.
