As for saying something nice about ... I can't really think of anything that I don't like ... I just don't listen to it, and I would say some of the over hyped 70's bands are usually the case. Not the proggy ones we mention but some of the others that got enough PR to make themselves bigger, and I never really thought that they were any better than a pop music band. ... that's my fun category for Rush!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

From the Beginning and Lucky Man are the only two ELP songs I like, and even though I like them, I'm gonna guess Lucky Man is the most unoriginal prog song ever composed. But at least Palmer has chops. |
Perhaps you could consider giving Lake a break--he wrote it when he was, like, 12. . .

I didn´t cut myself in any serious way when handling it.
That´s about the nicest thing I can say about "Metal Machine Music"
Pretty much sounds like the raping of several electrified seagulls recorded in an elongated hollow trash bin with an obese - out of breath type of dude huffing and puffing like a satanic marathon runner.

Second Life Syndrome had some okay moments.. particularly "After" and just the general background atmosphere wasn't terrible. Just didn't get into this album like a lot of other people did.

While I have no problem with people who flame DT, I'll get this thread going again with a positive comment about one of the worst albums ever made.
I picked up Rick Wakeman's Rock and Roll Prophet REALLY cheap!

this became a negative thread 12 posts ago - everyone taking it upon themselves to flame bands such as DT.......  or Yes
anyway my rant is 'St Anger' - well it opened the door for one of the best rock docos in history
that was difficult......

 If I ever surprized a thief in my house, I could throw Haggard's "Awakening the Centuries" at his head.
The light reflecting off the CD's shiny, pristine surface might momentarily blind him  , while I grab a more substantial weapon.....
Alternately, I could have it on repeat play when no one's home -- the scary growling "vocals" would likely deter all but the bravest thieves from entering such an apparently demonic domain....
It might curdle the milk in the fridge, drive the poor dog insane and kill all the house plants, though.

"Welcome Home" helped make a kick-ass trailer for the movie "9"

 Jethro Tull's "Under Wraps" makes the Tull section in my collectiona little bit bigger
Another good thing about it is that the CD does not spontaneously play itself.

I like artists who take risks.

When Systematic Chaos came out, Dream Theater toured it and provided an opportunity for me to see them for the first time.

Re-Works by ELP, just reading the songlist I knew I shouldn't by the album.

The title track on Octavarium is quite good.
