Helluva band!

Listening to Staton to Station, by David Bowie. Now my second-favorite Bowie album, after Diamond Dogs.

Listening to a bit of Johnny Cash this morning...

I fell into a burning ring of fire...

Listening to "Tarkus", by Emerson Lake & Palmer.

Has the dawn ever seen your eyes?
Have the days made you so unwise?
Realize, you are.

Also listening to Brian Eno's "Another Green World", and it's now in my top 5, replacing All Things Must Pass. Sorry, George, but I still love ya!

I didn't think anyone in my generation had any idea who ELP were. I had assumed you were part of my age group (really too young) but now... I am not sure. I think they need to have a revival. Brain Salad Surgery is an unbeleivable album.

Er, well, I'm 19. Hope that clears up any confusion!

Well, I only bought Tarkus yesterday. I intend on buying Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery as well, though. ELP can be pretty pretentious/self-indulgent at times, and but not as over the top or overbearing as, say, Yes. Plus, Emerson had far better classical training than any other 60s musician and he made damn sure you knew it.

Not true. Rick Wakeman had much better classical training, and was even more pretentious.

Bleh, should've put "most 60s musicians".

Posted: **Sat Nov 20, 2004 9:55 pm**

Brain Salad Surgery also has one of the best album covers of all time.

Now that, i have to agree with!

I love the cover of the new Manic Street Preachers album, Lifeblood. At first glance it just looks like a splash of (fake, hopefully) blood, but it's actually a very slender woman half covered in (again, hopefully fake) blood.

For some reason this album has recieved exceptionally harsh reviews, even for the manics. I think it's great and sounds reminiscent of Everything Must Go, full of soaring anthemic numbers and great hooks. I suppose the critics don't like bands who able to strike back...

Currently listening to Raw Power, by Iggy and the Stooges.

Albums I'm on the lookout for:

Beat, by King Crimson
Muswell Hillbillies, by The Kinks
Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, by Brian Eno
Before and After Science, by Brian Eno
Harold Budd & Brian Eno: The Pearl
The Velvet Underground, by The Velvet Underground
The Blue Mask, by Lou Reed
Electric Warrior, by Marc Bolan & T Rex

Lennon Legend (I have the two best Lennon solo albums, but this compilation has "Give Peace A Chance", "Cold Turkey", and "Instant Karma", his first three post-Beatles singles. All three tracks are so important it's probably worth buying this even if you have all the other tracks on the original albums.)
