So, I can't decide which one I love more:
Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings
www.youtube.com/watch?v=34mNg12vg6Q&feature=fvst
Hadn't listened to it for years and then remembered about it today. Nothing like some strings!
OR
Beethoven's Emperor Concerto, particularly the second movement:

[Not brilliant recording quality but Gould's playing is simply gorgeous!]
I've always thought this piece of music sounds like my heart....or it talks to my heart...or something
Oh <sigh> where's MM? Wish you were here so we could chat about classical music.

The only thing I think about when I hear this is replaying Homeworld.

And very effective it was too.

Dogs - Pink Floyd.
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone
Who was dragged down by the stone

That's a great reminder that Animals was one of Pink Floyd's best albums. Along with Wish you were here, and Dark Side of the Moon...
Sheep, Dogs, Pigs.
PS. Thankyou Murrin for filling in some gaps on "Righteous Wrong" - much appreciated!

Animals is fantastic, but it really hits home in the fall for some reason. It just seems the perfect time of year for that album.

Animals and Wish You were Here are their best, IMO
For some reason, Symphony X is really jiving with me lately.
Accolade II
On a cold and misty night,
a ring of torches light the hallowed ground
where his father's laid to rest
In the reflection of the sword
he sees his destiny and he swears up to the sky -
"You will not have died in vain"
On the field - with sword and shield
amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged - and the battle will rage
until only the righteous prevail
From the shadows comes a man,
returning to his land - Winds of change
taint the sweet smell of home
And all around him, he can see
the pain and misery
this tyrant's reign is through
"I will stand and fight... Will you?"
A heart of gold pumps within his metal skin
A noble line he carries on
On the field - with sword and shield
amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged - and the battle will rage
until only the righteous prevail
I wish to stay...to be here with you
You were my strength...How can I go on?
On the field - with sword and shield
amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged - and the battle will rage
until only the righteous prevail

Been in a Jethro Tull kick recently....Heavy Horses and his "Rare and Unreleased"-the one with the Chateau D'isaster stuff, but just switched to Relayer by Yes in the car Cd player
Side note...who here has heard either "The Tain" or "The Hazards of Love" by The Decemberists? I dont care for a great deal of their music but these two really stand out to me as two great epic-length pieces...

I've been prepping my albums for burning to CD so that I can get rid of those heavy suckers before we move again. The project is nearing completion, and I've been going through several Jethro Tull albums lately. Just finished Living In The Past.
I've recorded all of the music albums I have but still have to prep them (break them into separate tracks and remove skips, and tweak the sound, etc.). Next is comedy and the few childrens albums I wish to retain. Although I doubt my kid will be very excited about them, but some will be for nostalgia (like the Roosevelt Franklin and Sesame Street albums).
I keep thinking I should burn off the Rankin/Bass Hobbit and Return of the King albums, as well as the Story of Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back story albums, but I have all on DVD, and I doubt Desmond would get excited about listening to them when he could just watch the damn things, unlike when I was a kid. Though I wonder if I should, as it takes more imagination to listen to these than to watch the movies. I dunno though. Probably a wasted effort.

I know when I was a kid I would've loved those sorts of albums, I had Lord of the Rings and others on cassette that I listened to, and I got a lot of enjoyment out of my parents' vinyl (hence my love of their 60's 70' prog rock)
