Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine So, what are you listening to?

I've been rediscovering them in a major way, thanks partly to Gaseous Lad's enthusiastic posts about them in these forums.

Songs from the Big Chair is quite simply a perfect album. The full-length version of Head Over Heels is breathtaking!

I'm about to embark onto their 90s output (really just Roland and session musicians, of course; I might also give Curt's solo album my first listen ever.)

I'm not that familiar with their 90s output, but people whose taste I trust regularly cite Raoul and the Kings of Spain as a masterpiece, so I keep meaning to take a deeper dive.

Glad to hear that about R&tKoS, because its immediate predecessor, Elemental, is proving to be kind of a slog.

Something to look forward to.

Thanks, EDE.

Broken Peach. Pure covers, but I gotta admit, I always had a soft spot for the goofy babes. The fact that they are freakin great...nuthin to do with it.

Have Yougoob buzzin...great white shows up... god, no wonder that shite grunge hit like a brick through a plate glass window. They were pretty good musicians but suuuuuuucked so bad with the phony big hair and cheesy leather look.

ouch.

Yesterday, I found a YouTube playlist with all 14 tracks from the Bangles' original Greatest Hits.

I'd never realized before how annoying Susannah Hoffs' voice really is! It was just so damn affected, in a stereotypical "sex kitten" way! It also ruined her vocal range from the strain against her natural voice.

I really wish the Peterson sisters had chosen to be a duo instead of a group.

And as for Susan "Michael" Steele, her voice is decent, but her songs are dreary. Thankfully, there's only one of them on that collection.

Yeah, I'm feeling kinda grouchy today.

This track off the new Rocking Horse Music Club record features a guest appearance by Tony Banks, perhaps his first ever on someone else's album. Anyway, I like it. Very Duke-era Genesis.

Quite good. Thanks, EDE.
