And do you know youŽre right maybe?


What? No! Black Sheep is a great track!
Great but not the best. Most commercial. Used by Rainbow. And IŽd said "maybe"...

Don't go Petrovsk on me! If it's commercial does it mean it's the black sheep of the album? You're taking prog a step too far. The fact that it's the least progressive, or that it was covered by a famous band doesn't mean it's the black sheep of the album. And, if you said maybe, why do you need to stand up for your opinion?
Trendsetter win!

The search for nonexistent perfection.

Am I the only one who thinks the Hare Who Lost His Spectacles is absolutely delightful? I never get tired of hearing it, it's such a nice change of pace from the heaviness of the rest of the album.
I'm with you. I think it's a gas.

oh that's easy.. the 2nd half of A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers..  the difference between a cult album beloved by proggers.. or prog immortality recognized by those outside of the self-contained prog fan base akin to albums like Close the Edge and BSS which are prog albums recognized by those outside the prog fan fishbowl. Even among some proggers like me.. it damn near ruins song itself.  I turn it off after the SHM section.  In the words of the immortal Butthead.. .'this sucks Beavis'.  Prog for progs sake..  a sin only just above simply making crappy prog.

One song in particular comes to mind - "Your Own Special Way" on Genesis' Wind and Wuthering (one of my favourite albums by them).  I am not too fond of "Afterglow" either, though it is a masterpiece in comparison. Most of the albums I am familiar with have one or two weaker tracks, but in general they don't bother me, unless they're really godawful (and the above-mentioned track qualifies as that in my view).

Tommyrots? Leave it to a non-native speaker to teach me a word I've never heard in my life. Confused

I am going to start using this all the time now.

I never said it wasn't, just that I had never heard it before. I am very pleased to have learned something, since I love outdated words. YOu may have noticed my recent favorite "ballyhoo" cropping up in a number of threads.LOL

I love it.

Me too
my kids love the audio and made me play  The Hare who Lost his Spectacles 4 times in a row.... 'you kangaroo you kangaroo.....'
 
I showed them the video clip but it disturbed them more than entertained them esp when Anderson comes out suddenly and scares us, and the devilish costumes - what were they on?
