MikeH Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Saw Genesis in Feb. 1977 at the Aud. 320747[/snapback] I was at that show also. It was very good, but not the same without Gabriel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorom Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 No way could I pick any one band or one album. I have too many different moods and like too many different stlyles. but one CD I know for a fact I wouldn't want to have under any circumstance is Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Shine On You Crazy Diamond is the best song ever written in my biased opinion. There are so many stories behind the writing and recording of this albulm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 awesome lp. damn that andy partridge for having stage fright, they just never got out to the masses (ie ME!) not a big rundgren fan, but he did a nice job producing that one(if i am not mistaken) XTC - Skylarking 320841[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I think Exile OMS is the greatest album ever made, but it hasn't gotten nearly as much play time with me as Never Mind the Bollocks. So I'm taking the Pistols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfmeister Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 awesome lp. damn that andy partridge for having stage fright, they just never got out to the masses (ie ME!) not a big rundgren fan, but he did a nice job producing that one(if i am not mistaken) 320854[/snapback] I saw XTC live once in West Berlin at a place called The Metropol. It was before they put out Skylarking. I like that song "Towers of London" from the LP Black Sea. I love that Balck Sea disc. It makes my fur stand up. I also still play their English Settlement LP. My English friend at the time got me into them and Ian Drury. He also got me to go to a King Kurt concert. The wildest concert I ever attended. King Kurt The fans brought tons of stuff like bags of flour, eggs, water baloons and you name it to throw at the band while they were playing. Crap was flying everywhere and they band played on.

I love the verse of Hundredth Meridian that goes: if i die of vanity, promise me, promise me, they bury me someplace i don't want to be, you'll dig me up and transport me,unceremoniously, away from the swollen city-breeze, garbage-bag trees, whispers of disease and the acts of enormity and lower me slowly, sadly and properly get ry cooder to sing my eulogy, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 While we're talking Ry Cooder, his album with V.M. Bhatt, "A Meeting by the River," wouldn't be a bad desert island choice either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfmeister Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 That reminds me ... I have a bootleg video of the Stones film called C**ks**ker Blues. It was made around the time of the EOMS double LP. They were feeling the music back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Fergy Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 That is a great album - the turning point for Genesis.I listened to it a few weeks ago while cruising. Saw Genesis in Feb. 1977 at the Aud, touring for that album. Fully bearded Collins in his first time out front. It was the first Genesis album following Peter Garbriel's departure. I don't think I'd want to be on a desert island with any single CD, unless is was to use the reflective mirror side to signal for help from a resuce plane. 320747[/snapback] I agree with Trick of Tail is a great Album (Entangled) and the turning point for genesis BUT I feel sorry for the people who missed out on the last three albums The Lamb (which is my favorit with Gabriel lead and Collins backing) and then Selling England by the Pound and Foxtrot.

SouthernMan Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I really prefer the Gabriel stuff, to be honest. As for any of Collins' work I find it hard to divorce the good stuff from the adult contemporary garbage. As for the one CD, right now I'd still take "London Calling" by a nose. 320760[/snapback] Agree 100%. Trick of the Tale may be the lone exception. The previous album was Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and stylistically, they hadn't deviated much from the Gabriel version of the band with the Trick of the Tale LP. I've often thought it strange how similar Collins' singing voice sounds to Gabriels' on Trick of the Tale. It's like they were morphed for that one album. Don't remember what release was next, but I know Abacab and Then There Were Three was not too far down the line. Never bought anything by them or Collins following Trick of the Tale. All in all, I got bored fairly quickly with the overproduced "progressive" music of that era, including Yes, ELP, Kansas, Gentle Giant, etc. It was just o.k. at the time, some good musicianship, and was usually a good concert experience. Once the geeks with 15 years of piano lessons got into rock and roll, "progressive rock" was born. Thank goodness punk came along when it did to put the rock back in rock and roll. I'd just assume hear some raw blues and the gritty sound Stevie Ray exposing his soul through his Stratocaster and stack of Marshalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me Mississippi Fred McDowell, recorded in his living room with a bottleneck slide and an acoustic any day of the week. SRV was good, but some of the guys who invented the genre are just criminally ignored in favor of the white guys who appropriated it for greater gains.
