Sir Gandalf, I like the idea of your thread, but your insults towards others do nothing to help your arguments. Were I to pick "black sheep" the most obvious that come to mind are

Yellow Submarine from Beatles - Revolver
Octopus's Garden from Beatles - Abbey Road

and that's for silliness among some of the band's most accomplished works... same works for

I Think I'm Going Bald from Rush - Caress Of Steel

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.
Clap I agree!

Perhaps adults fancy themselves to be far too mature to be lectured by a children's story. And yet who among us doesn't reference fables in our adult lives from time to time? Sour grapes? Slow and steady wins the race? How about mind your own business for a change?

Bravo Jeffrey!

Sorry, I should have added that I don't think much of you for throwing outdated racial slurs around.

I've always felt very similarly. It's stuck right in the middle of a bunch of other tracks that are absolutely stunning, and then it comes along and is only mediocre in my book.

He's referring to your use of the term "gook," a racial slur directed at Vietnamese people. However, I think you  intended to say something different, especially since you seem unaware of the word's negative connotations and unpleasant history.

I've got a question for you, Gandalff: are you unable to post  without stepping on anyone's toes? I've already seen the direction your thread on Female Prog artists took. Don't forget that things written on a computer screen are easily misunderstood, and can as easily cause flame wars.

I tend not too skip too many tracks when listening to albums through. However "Boilk" off of Egg's The Polite Force is a track I make an exception for.

Also Side 2 of Genesis' self-titled album. Wink

 You´ve told  almost everything instead me. I apologize. My internet translator is a racialist probably, because he´d offered me just this finite term. I´ve meant  "nonsenses" or "tommyrots".

Great but not the best. Most commercial. Used by Rainbow. And I´d said "maybe"...
