Barclay James Harvest

Hi,

Wow ... and their first live double album is magnificent with an amazing double of Summer Soldier and Medicine Man, that is designed to blast your ears inside out.

I think that we have to get off the "impress me" kind of thing that many bands go for, as a juke to catch your attention, and BJH is not for "attention" as it is for solid music and a specially well delivered show.

That they did not make it as "big" as others should not be an issue either ... they did just fine, thank you ... and were not in it to be the number one band in the show. It was all about the members and the quality of their work, and it's really hard to find/look for something wrong ... and sometimes, just mean stuff, that many folks can not relate because their lyrics are not that my schlong is bigger than yours and all the groupies like it! Eat your heart out! And that she's a bitch and all that!

This is one of the main reasons why I do not go for "top 5" or "top ten" or "top bsandcrap" ... because the over rating of their material ends up hiding the really good stuff that deserves attention but never gets it ... and if it were up to me, things like "punk" would not have made one third of the attention they got ... attention to what? It was all media, not music!
