Giving up forever on trying to hide my deep love for short, dorky Irish tenors who think they have magical healing powers.

(Chris DeBurgh, "High On Emotion," 2009 live version)

I mean, it's the kind of thing where the harder you try and hide it, the faster people figure it out, so... shrug

Not 100% sold on the new Yessong, but it sounds like there may still be a bit of ancient exponential overdrive left in the band...

Genesis, "Selling England By the Pound"

https://youtu.be/4oPA8JUttCw

https://youtu.be/xiW302FICE0

This album has recently vaulted past "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" as my favorite from The Peter Gabriel Era. Because I now believe "Lamb," while an excellent work in its own right, feels much more like a one-off (or even, arguably, as the template for Gabriel's solo career.) "Selling" is a great deal more...quintessentially Genesis. Which is why I was surprised, while doing research, to find out that, of the five people who made up the band lineup at the time, only Steve Hackett has an unconditionally favorable view of "Selling." shrug

SEBTP is probably my favorite Genesis album. If everything goes right, I'm hoping to see Hackett perform it in the spring (two years later than originally planned, because of covid).

The Lamb is definitely an oddball, being so dominated by PG, while SEBTP is much more balanced in contributions by all five members. It also goes for a weird "American urban" vibe, in contrast to the "British pastoral" sound that 70s Genesis is most noted for. Two of my favorite late 90s albums (IQ's Subterranea and Spock's Beard's Snow) were heavily modeled on the Lamb, though.

Yay. Cheers, EDE. cheers Got my fingers crossed for you that everything goes right with the scheduled concert.

Agreed, and agreed again. It was sort of their way of adapting to the incoming punk rock shake-up. That they were the youngest of the big progressive rock bands is probably what helped make "Lamb" something far better than the bandwagon jumping that other old-guard rockers got into.

My three favorite Simple Minds albums -- 1980's "Empires and Dance," 1981's "Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call," and 1982's "New Gold Dream" -- are the ones where singer/lyricist Jim Kerr is most audibly drawing from his admiration for "Lamb."

Remembering Sister Double Happiness from the early Nineties. Seems unfair that they didn't hit it bigger. At the crossroads of "roots" rock, Blues, and late Eighties power ballads. I can never forget this song about the inability to forget. laugh

"Heart And Mind" (1991)

Spent some time tonight with Tony Kaye's new 9/11 themed solo album (actually his first official0 solo album at the age of 76).

Not something I imagine I'll be listening to frequently, but it may become an annual thing.

Hope and Triumph

Sometimes there's just no explaining why you wake up with a song in your head all morning and you break down and play it even though it's not your favorite song or favorite band. shrug

And now it's R.I.P. to Gary Brooker.

My favorite Procol Harum song.

And might as well post this collaboration with Ian McDonald.

Posting "Long Live Rock and Roll" as a joke in a Gy'mll's thread has actually led me to rediscover how good Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow was.

All three lead singers had their strengths and weaknesses -- the late, legendary Ronnie James Dio was at his best with grandiose proto-metal weirdness; Graham Bonnet gets a bad rap, largely because Blackmore has badmouthed him unceasingly, but he's actually my favorite of the three, the most versatile and possessing the kind of voice I'd listen to read the phone book; Joe Lynn Turner was only good at ballads in my opinion, but some of those were very good (i.e. "Stone Cold.")

So not listening to, per se, but I received Anatomy of a Song for Christmas, and am about to dive into it. It has stories and interviews of the creation of over 40 popular songs, so I'm looking forward to digging in!

Emma-Jean Thackray's "Golden Green" is a delight. In a less jazzy, more scruffy way, so is the rock duo Bachelor.

Oh, these youngsters today! love

I believe that "I Believe" is one of my favorite R.E.M. songs.

https://youtu.be/aopES6KCBQs

I believe in promoting once-massively popular bands that have been overlooked by most of the younger generation.
