What Are You Listening To?

William Orbit's take on Samuel Berber's 'Adagio for Strings' - only one word for it. Masterpiece!

Do not have that Beach Boys album but know everything on it.
Surprised you only gave Wouldn't It Be Nice **, one of my loves for sure
Pretty sure the album would come out that way also.
One of my favorite 60's groups.

was a toss up as to ** or *** for "wouldnt it be nice",
was never a big fan of the Beach Boys(i dont like the beach and surf etc..maybe thats why?), but they made some of the more memorable singles from the 1960s, and certainly cant knock their harmonies at all

God Only Knows has to be close to being the most beatiful song I can think of.

"SMiLE" is better than "Pet Sounds"

just sayin'

[mtthwibrahim]

so now, for bout the fifth time, I'm relistening to "Blood on the Tracks". Sorry, but I just can't get into it. "Tangled Up in Blue" is great, but it really is a bit hard to feel sympathy for Dylan. A man who could have any woman wants, crying about a break-up, it just sounds like self-pity. I know it's blasphemy, but, as we've learned from my last posts, nothing is holy to me

The group Battles..albums Mirrored and Gloss Drops !

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL "bayou country" cd,1969.

their second album, their first of three of 1969 studio releases...
only seven tracks on the vinyl album, but the cd contains several demos/live recordings and a single previously unreleased track.
this one includes the classic Proud Mary, which is better than the Ike/Tina original IMO.
three *** tracks and four **'s here making this a love rating of 2.4...
not quite as good as "cosmo's factory" or "willie and the poor boys" albums but still an essential addition to anyone who like pure old fashioned rock n roll...

The first lend from Robbie of 2012.

Their debut, released in 2011.

Soul, Blues, & Rock hybrid that are sort of similar to The Black Crowes. The reviews don't really mention their Bluesiness, but it seemed pretty clear to me.

Wasn't sure if this would be for me at the start of the disc, but by the end Mrs T & I were suitably impressed.

This'll go onto the Buy List, albeit with a fairly low priority.

I could have loved this group if not for those shrilly vocals again. Same as Neal Peart of Rush. Get them two guys
in a small room together, let 'em have at it, and you'd have some serious glass damage. Some good music here on
this thirteenth studio album. Title is due to the presence of eight former Yes alumni (Squire, Rabin, White, Kaye,
Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe). Not sure if all are on all tracks or some on each, no liner notes. Jon is always
there though. Unlike previous Yes albums, the material here has no theme as tracks were written by different
members at different times. Getting them all together must have been a chore as they were all doing other projects.
The union never happened again. Other than a couple of short instrumental pieces there was nothing I didn't like
here, and a couple of love tracks. I was pleasantly surprised not having heard it in years. They did tour to
support the album, but sales did not live up to expectations. That's what it says, but a #15 on the chart seems
respectable to me. Very Nice live cip for both of my love tracks. Damn! Steve Howe looks rough, and that was 20
years ago.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Evensong

Best Track - Lift Me Up

Look around - Got no place to stay.
God I hate this town, depending on the day.
You lift me up, you lift me down - Alright, OK.

While I got no life, I got no hope;
I'm falling in love.
Help me through the fight;
Help me with tonight - I'm calling.

What to do I find it hard to know;
Lord, the walk is not the one I chose...

Lift me up and turn me over;
Lead me on into the dawn.
Take me to the highest mountain;
Tie me up, love in a storm.
Have you decided on my fortune?
Facing the future in your eyes,
With your imperial behaviour
We fight amidst the battle cries.

Open doors - They may be closed to me;
The fire's still burning in my heart...

What to do I find it hard to know;
I want to turn my life around...
