PINK FLOYD - "Waiting for the Worms"
from the album 'The Wall'

I woke up with this track in my head.

There's been so much rave about this band, so I decided to run'm. Quite special, altho maybe not quite my taste .....

The Frenchies are really rising now, with Gojira, Demians, and Spheric Universe Experience.

Genesis - Genesis Archive #2 1976-1992 Disc 3

I'm not a huge fan of the Drum Machine Years, but I don't mind the odd spin.

[Iggy]

Serenades by Anathema

[Steve Jones]

David Bowie - Young Americans.

Probably my least favourite Bowie album that doesn't actually feature 'Laughing Gnome'

[Manatee]

Joe Jackson - Jumpin' Jive - 2. Jack, You're Dead!

You ain't got no red corpuscles -- Jack, you dead!

[Steve Jones]

Sugar - Copper Blue.

[Manatee]

Sugar - Copper Blue.

Splendid choice -- one of my favorite albums by anyone.

NP: Pixies - Doolittle

Track: well, all of them.

Marillion - Marillion.com
7. Tumble Down The Years


I like this very much. It's very nice music. Maybe not as proggish as Marbles (or any of the Fish era albums) but very pleasant.
I don't understand why people tend to piss on this album so much...

Yes, but as I recall, I disappointed you by only owning the early albums.  I'm willing to remedy that though.     What do you think of A Perfect Circle?  I somehow managed not to have heard them until recently and didn't realize it featured Maynard.

NP: Frost* - Milliontown - Hyperventillate

I finally got around to sampling this on Pandora.  Heard two songs so far and am pissed off at myself for not already owning it.   

[Steve Jones]

The Pixies - Death to the Pixies.

[Nicky007]

What do you think of A Perfect Circle? 

A couple of years ago, I was so hot on Tool that I proceeded to buy all their side projects too. Thus I have three APC albums. I havent listened enough to'm to rate'm. My impression is that they're not quite up to Tool standards, but that would also be expecting too much.

Yeah Manatee, Lateralus and 10,000 Days are real real hot. Try to get into the lyrics too. They're very autobiographical (Maynard).

Shadowland - The Whistleblower

The song has been going round my head since last night...

[Steve Jones]

Queensrÿche - Take Cover.

(Sits back and waits for the traditional "it's not a very good album" comments )

[bluepony]

Are there any Queensryche albums that are "not a very good album"?!

Not from where I'm standing, but you meet some strange folk on the internet

Oh crap. If all you folks think that highly of them, I'll have to go back and see what I've missed.  I remember hearing a few of their songs on the radio years ago -- I thought one was a pretty good plain old rock song (Jet City Woman), and I found the others annoying.  I guess that's what I get for paying attention to the radio, a nasty habit I've kicked since then.

NP: Proto-Kaw - Before Became After - Alt. More Worlds Than Known

Some good stuff coming up on my Frost*-seeded "station."  Turns out this is with Kerry Livgren of Kansas fame.  On first listen, I like it a lot.  Also hearing some good stuff from Kamelot that bears further investigation.

[Steve Jones]

Queensrÿche - Live Evolution.

The live DVD version of this is an amazing performance (might have to dig it out over the weekend) but unfortunately doesn't include all the tracks from the CD set.

[Nicky007]

I'd say that the Q catalog is rather uneven. Some songs could be characterised as regular rock. Then there are others that are pure genius.

My faves are "Operation: Mindcrime" I & II. Those I return to every so often these days 


NP  Tool:  Lateralus  (on repeat) 

Nicky.
