stevewin Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Last summer my Mom was in the hospital at Buffalo General and I took a week off to go up and visit her. She was pretty sick and on the last day I saw her she seemed to be stabilized but it was a case when you just didn't know which way it might go. I remember walking out of her room and trying to take a mental picture of her there. I get in the car and start driving away - in a pretty introspective mood - and out of nowhere on the radio is playing "Even in the Quietest Moments". I remember thinking what a great old song, one I hadn't heard in years and years. Anyway - I'm driving away from the hospital, really listening to this old song that is taking on new meaning every passing second, thinking about my Mom and how I may never see her again, and to make the whole scene even more surreal is all the while I'm driving through the 3rd world nuclear holocaust that is Broadway going east from the city. That song is on my iPod now - it will always remind me of my Mom and the last time I saw her alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdh1 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Definition of oxymoron: "Supertramp's Greatest Hits" A lot of younger guys I work with only think of Supertramp in terms of the song "it's raining again" which is total pop crap. That's like judging Valen Halen by "How do you if its love?" or Peter Gabriel by "Sledgehammer". Supertramp has a bunch of great stuff that borders on progressive rock. Songs like "School", "Fool Overture", "Rudy", "A Soap Box Opera"...all great stuff. Even some on the more commercial stuff on "Breakfast in America" is quality.... "Gone Hollywood"... that's a great song. Oh, and "Paris" is one of the best live records ever, up there with "Seconds Out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_franchise Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 not against downloading music at all but, i only download bittorrrents until i know i like a cd, then go and buy it... i think a cd collection of burned cds isnt as nice to have as the real deal... but thats just me. on the other hand, torrents are the way to go for movies, software, and videos games if youve got the memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But come, "snow blind", "blue collar man". "crystal ball"...good stuff Its like Genesis. "insivible touch" is terrible.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 1979? I think the number one selling record that year was Led Zepplin's "in thru the outdoor" Yep late '79. I remember it playing when I was on my Senior HS trip to Spain early Spring of '80. I had backstate passes for their concert in Halifax but some nutjob called in saying he was going to execute them on stage and they cancelled the show. Something about how they thought they were bigger than Elvis or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about how they thought they were bigger than Elvis or something. Buffalo had bad luck with Led Zep shows. I think they were supposed to play there in 1976, and just before the show, Rober Plant's child died. Show cancelled. Then in 1979, they were going to play in Rich Stadium. But Bonzo died. Show cancelled. Best we could do was Robert Plant's solo tour with Phil Collins on the drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hear that and can't believe its the same band. Honestly. Most on this board (not necessarily in this thread) think Phil Collins' career began w/ No Jacket Required. For the record my wife and I danced to 'Follow you, Follow me' at out wedding. That was a little pop cheese s/p Peter Gabriel but at least it was Genesis. Lamb lies down is classic.
