Here's an idea I had for a thread. Basically, a member can name any album and you reply with the first little musical motif or melody that you hear in your head. So for example, if someone said Camel - Mirage, the first melody I always think of is the blissful solo section of Freefall at 3:23. Or how about Pale Communion by Opeth? The first thing that always comes to mind is the chorus of Cusp of Eternity. Figured this would be a fun little game. So i'll start:
IQ - The Road of Bones Supertramp - Crime of the Century (For me it's the synth climax of without walls reprising the main intro melody, and the opening vocals/line of Hide in Your Shell, a song that I think perfectly encapsulates the atmosphere of that album)

Some might call for this to be in Just for Fun.
I commonly think of lyrics (with music) if not instrumental. When I saw Road of Bones, the first bit of music to come into my mind was Rush' "Roll the Bones" "Why are we here? Because we're here, Road of bones Roll my bones." And with Supertramp's Crime of the Century, I think of the part where it goes "Now we're planning the Crime of the Century, well why the hell not?" I don't always remember things correctly. |

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Cool thread idea OP! Something a little different for once
![]() "Watcher of the skies watcher of all!" is the first one that immediately comes to mind!

^^ For foxtrot its always the gloriously blissful organ and acoustic guitar motif including the line "Todays the day to celebrate!"
Also, I love individual thought patterns! Edited by dougmcauliffe - October 01 2020 at 23:57 |

The beginning of Dreamer. Iconic. I've probably heard Road of Bones once.

From Caravan's "Nine Feet Underground", the line "There are people waiting here who really want to know" has been popping up in my head for two days.

Haken - Virus - "I don't want to talk about this anymore..."
Why does it not surprise me that most of the replies, so far, are from music fifty years ago??

"...I don't know what it is you want to hear...", from the same song. ![]() Joking, the first one I thought of was "Walking across the sitting room", actually.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I had them a lot inside my brain. However, do not get me wrong, last two or so days this melody from my own recently made VERY raw dsbm (depressive suicidal black metal, that is) instrumental haunts my head:
I must say now it already has 3 likes (one is mine) and no dislikes. It looks like painful boring listening to tons of black metal tunes brought some ripe fruit... I almost had no doubts that something like that (a very primitive music idea) had already been invented, done, re-done and so. But, honestly, I did not steal it consciously. Now, ain't that haunting?

I adore the beginning of the Russian song Near The City Of Kronshtadt - it always reminds me of the violins in GG's Peel The Paint, for some reason:
