Cyclechat investigates...classic rock albums

[MontyVeda]

...

But fine as it is, is TAAB first CD in a new car material?

Since I don't drive and will never have a new car... Thick as a Brick is the only album you've listed that I'm likely to listen to, so it's a yes from me.

 

[MontyVeda]

Saw the flautist and his band at Leeds Town Hall, must have been '68 or '69. 'twas a good concert as I recall (not that I ,cough, recall much from those heady times)
.
[edit] 7.10.1969 - what did we do before google?[/edit]

kept the ticket stubs?

 

[Drago]

Stick to their 70s stuff but avoid Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll... and apart from A Little Light Music, their 80s and 90s output was tiresome, and don't touch Thick as a Brick II with a bargepole!

Crest of A Knave was an excellent late 80s resurgence. TAABII wasn't good, but Anderson redeemed himself with Homo Erraticus.

Greatest rock band ever??...surely these unassuming chaps from Cambridge:

No.

Crest of A Knave was an excellent late 80s resurgence. TAABII wasn't good, but Anderson redeemed himself with Homo Erraticus.

Crest of a Knave sounded like a Dire Straights album, and not a good one... due to throat surgery, I believe.

 

[Drago]

Yes, throat surgery, but other than Said She Was A Dancer, which had full on Knopfleresque licks from Martin Barre, it sounded nothing like Dire Straits. Seen Tull and Anderson do Farm On The Freeway live several times, very pleasant indeed, and Budapest was a masterpiece.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Crime of the Century. Supertramp.

Breakfast in America, much better, less whiny.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Boston - More than a Feeling

Album ?

Any rock compilation you can get your hands on - it's on ALL of them

Along with
Yes-Roundabout
Dire Straits-Sultans of Swing
Linda Ronstadt-It's So Easy to Fall in Love
REO Speedwagon-Ridin The Storm Out

Yes, these hits and many many more, for one low price!

Funny that, just been listening to that in the car. Crime though is a much better produced album.

 

[netman]

The fact you mention Led Zep III proves you are a rock charlatan and a fraud.

Led Zep II is the classic one.

Nah, you're both too old - I vote IV... which would give you Black Dog as your first track...

 

[Deleted member 1258]

Jimmy Hendrix, cream, Iron Butterfly, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, any one of these will do.

Don't knock rock compilations, they're the only place I've managed to get a decent copy of this song'
