I'll save him some mint sauce

A green lamb on Broadway ? 

After playing Pure Reason Revolution again today.

After Forever - Mea Culpa

You should rather tell us what you're playing now, Iggy 


NP  Queensrÿche:  Promised Land  (eighth run)

Geoff let a lotta himself hang out on this one.

Probably my fave Q-album at this point. Excruciating 

I wouldnt expect any of these songs to be played on the radio (except for prog channels) 

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

NP: Hole - Celebrity Skin

More Seattlepalooza (although I think they go slumming in California too).

Take your hole to Holewood 

I'v actually never heard anything by this group. Do they have anything (musically) interesting to offer ?

Nicky.

[Steve Jones]

Marillion - Fugazi.

[The Butterfly Man]

NP: The Pineapple Thief - Tightly Unwound

Tom

[Steve Jones]

Marillion - Real to Reel.

[Steve Jones]

Manning - Songs From The Bilston House.

[Nicky007]

NP  Queensrÿche:  Hear In The Now Frontier  (on repeat)

This album has been castigated by Q-fans, coming right after the masterly Promised Land (PL 1994, HITNF 1997). But, as Mad claims that we all have a right to determine for ourselves, I'm gonna work this out for meself ..... 

Nicky.

[The Butterfly Man]

NP: Dream Theater - Falling Into Infinity Demos

If only they used these original song arrangements on the actual album. It's a shame the DT-guys were put under pressure by the recordlabel to make some 'radio-friendly' songs... Not that I dislike Falling Into Infinity as it is, but it could have been so much better with the inclusion of Raise The Knife, You Or Me, and the original versions of Take Away My Pain and Burning My Soul (with Hell's Kitchen as part of it).

Tom

[Steve Jones]

Manning - Number Ten.

[Steve Jones]

Queensrÿche - Rage for Order.

[Nicky007]

Queensrÿche - Rage for Order.

Good call, Jonesy 

Seems like there's somethin about Rage, OM I & II, Empire, and PL being the "essential" Q-albums.

After two runs, I'm a bit disappointed with Hear 

But let's see; wouldnt be the first time that Q have surprised me .....

Nicky.

[Iggy]

The Chaos Years - Strapping Young Lad

It is not going to be my most played but it is growing on me.

[Steve Jones]

Rewiring Genesis - A Tribute to the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

[Iggy]

Rewiring Genesis - A Tribute to the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

Ah a fantastic CD 

NP  The Garden - Unitopia

[Nicky007]

One shouldnt get monomaniacal 

so

NP  Queen:  Made in Heaven

One of my old faves, a most remarkable album 

Anyone else familiar with it ?

Nicky.

[Steve Jones]

John Martyn - Stormbringer!

I definitely agree with that, Tom.
FII the way the record company liked it has good tracks on it but it could've been so much better.
I must say that i like the Take Away My Pain version on FII (how it has been released) better than the original version though.
You Or Me woul've been so much better than the Desmond-Child-mutilation and Burning My Soul?

It's a shame it ever came to this.
This version is way way way better than how they recorded it.

And most of all: they never had to kill Raise The Knife.
What an awesome song that is. 

[Steve Jones]

Just finished: Airbag - In My Sleep.
Just started: Airbag - Sounds That I Hear.

I've been playing some Threshold today.
Replica (twice actually!) and Dead Reckoning.

At the moment I'm playing Nothing again.
I'm impressed!

[maddox]

At the moment I'm playing Nothing again.
I'm impressed!

A very underrated artist, in my book. 

[PH]

A very underrated artist, in my book. 

Absolutely!
But they might be a bit too proggish for me.

Now I'm listening to:
Genesis - Duke
2. Duchess

(The song that started it all for me)

[Steve Jones]

I've been playing some Threshold today.

Good thinking, I think I'll slot them into my playlist soonish

NP: Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)

[Manatee]

NP: Airbag - Sounds That I Hear

Something not too thrashy to go with my perfumed water.

Take your hole to Holewood

Well, they're not what I'd consider prog for starters.  I like them in an "angry women who rock" sort of way (all female except the guitarist).  They're led, of course, by the certifiably insane Courtney Love, widow of Kurt Cobain.  They're a nice cathartic listen when the mood strikes me.  Certainly not essential from a prog standpoint though.
