ASPIRATIONS
My Last.fm
Jazz-rock conspiracy? Zappa and Miles played at the same festivals in the
summer of '69 right BEFORE Hot Rats AND Bitches Brew were recorded.

Of course GG's music isn't just for the head. It's just as much, if not more, for the heart imo.

^ Great topic for a different thread - a response to the aforementioned notion of GG's music for the head.

A lot of them. Particularly Pantagruel's Nativity and Aspirations. I never bought into the notion that GG are 'soulless' music purely for the head.

I'll add Edge Of Twilight, A Reunion, His Last Voyage, Think Of Me With Kindness and Funny Ways to that list as well. Big smile

Approve Yeah, I know. I thought it was one of the most beloved and celebrated GG tracks, I guess not? The Face apparently made it farther. Ermm

^ 'Cause it's our least favorite. It's not like we can adjust our taste, right?

'Cause it was the least favorite for most people in the 3rd round. But if you mean it as a rhetorical question, like "Why? Why-y-y-y-y-y?!!", then I can't help you with that. Keep in mind: this is not a contest. It's a freaking poll. Like a survey. I think people (including myself) keep forgetting that.

Between those three tracks, I will choose Aspirations as my least favourite, Playing The Game is really a nice track, I don't know why you guys voted it most.
