Ian Dury - Mr Love Pants

Gathered to God nine years ago yesterday.  'What a Waste'

[Steve Jones]

Just: The Durutti Column - Our Lady of the Angels (Single)
Now: Dixie Dregs - What If

There can be few UK rock fans 'of a certain age' who don't know at least one track by Dixie Dregs.  'Take It Off The Top' was the awesome music used by Tommy Vance as the theme for his Friday Rock Show

NP  Queensrÿche:  I Will Remember  (on Rage, on repeat)

I simple can't get nuff of this wonderful song 

In my book, a leading candidate for "Best song eva" - together with Ten's Rome and CC's Steel Rain btw 

The lyrics - in fact in all three cases - are of the type that you have to learn by heart before they start unfolding properly 

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

I really like that. I'm thinking of investing in another of their cd's

Can't go wrong there 

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

But I need to really dislike a cd to get rid of it so I think I will keep this one cause it seems to have a few good tracks.

Same here, Bups, if there's just one track I know I'l continue to enjoy listenin to, then I keep the cd.

But cd's by The Haunted, Isis, Lacuna Coil, The Gathering have all gone out. Nothin there for me

NP  Queensrÿche:  Rage For Order  

Maybe this is the album you should start with, Tom. (I know, you have OM I, but I mean seriously.) I think that Mad would agree. Several terrific songs on it - I Will Remember, I Dream In Infrared, London -  and pretty accessible 

Infrared is also very special, as I mentioned earlier; that's where Geoff's voice seems to take off, never heard anything like that anywhere else. I'd like to hear whether you guys also experience that   

The Promised Land and Q2k are for advanced Q-cogniscenti 

Queensrÿche-listening is not only a passion, it becomes an addiction

Not sure what you're thinking of there, I'll need to check it out for myself.  But on a related note, one of my personal favourite Tate greats is on Mindcrime's 'Breaking the Silence' when his voice leaps for the heavens during "They told me to run, but just how far"

NP: ZZ Top - Recycler.

[Steve Jones]

Infrared is also very special, as I mentioned earlier; that's where Geoff's voice seems to take off, never heard anything like that anywhere else. I'd like to hear whether you guys also experience that   

Just played it to refresh my memory as to what's going on.  I take it you're referring to the chorus where there are several Geoffs doing wondrous things?  Yes, that's pretty special.

Geoff Tate is one of the greatest vocalists of all time, IMHO.  On the earlier albums his more youthful voice has more in common with Rob Halford of Judas Priest. If you've not already heard it, check out Rob's spine-tingling vocals on Dreamer Deceiver/Deceiver from the Sad Wings of Destiny album.  That blew me away when I heard it at school and remains, to this day, one of my favourite vocal moments of all time.  Before they went ultra-metal, Priest were a force to be reckoned with and a blistering live band.

Black 'N Blue - Nasty Nasty.

Standard 1980s Hair Metal, but with some very catchy tunes.  Probably their best album, to my ears.

[Manatee]

NP: Buffalo Tom - Sleepy Eyed*

*Happens to also fit "how are you feeling right now" -- last night was poker night with the boys.  Guinness was involved.

Blue Öyster Cult - Imaginos.

The Reasoning - Dark Angel

What are the colonies coming to, when a citizen can't be abroad at night for fear of being set upon by ruffians and footpads intent on plying him with beverages?


Bad English - Bad English.

Actually, I was one of the pliers.

NP: Devin Townsend - Synchestra

Now Pretending to Pay Attention to: An online meeting

[The Butterfly Man]

NP: Dream Theater - Once In A Livetime

This album got a lot of criticism, mainly because of James LaBrie's performance (which, to be honest, isn't really that bad), but I see it as a great document that shows what DT was up to in 1998.

What are the colonies coming to ... Bad English.

Didnt play much music yesterday, as Ms and I celebrated our 7-year Anniversary. We went to town and walked along the Copenhagen harbor front - just like we did in the beginning, when we met at the Main Station on Fridays after work 

Afterward we had a great meal at my fave restaurant in Cop, India Palace, where they know what a vegetarian is. Hot stuff tellya 

Today it's the Hegel-group, so gotta gear up now:

Spot on ! - and nicely put 

Geoff Tate is one of the greatest vocalists of all time

Note that, Tommy Boy !

On the earlier albums his more youthful voice has more in common with Rob Halford of Judas Priest. If you've not already heard it, check out Rob's spine-tingling vocals on Dreamer Deceiver/Deceiver from the Sad Wings of Destiny album.  That blew me away when I heard it at school and remains, to this day, one of my favourite vocal moments of all time.  Before they went ultra-metal, Priest were a force to be reckoned with and a blistering live band.

Interesting, Jonesy 

I'v actually long been testing Priest stuff when the opportunity arose. I'l take your tip and add Sad Wings to my SL. Thanks 

Nicky.
