What Are You Listening To?

back to MH's Elton John post a bit further up the page...

just got round to hearing a few of the tracks that i do not know....

pretty darn good IMO..dont really have much of Elton's 1970s works apart from "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and what i have on best of sets, was sort of too young to know who he really was back then,thus only have his 80s albums,and a few others from the 90s and 00's....so a look at his earlier material is on the cards now...

awesome talent, and obviously at his best in the 70s and early 80s IMO.

Try 'Blue Moves' - some great tracks and, for me, one of his most creative periods. By the way folks - what happened to Tiggi?

Yes - Tormato - This got hammered by the critics, but I really like it, especially the track 'On the Silent Wings of Freedom'

thanks for the recommendation Jerome, i will ask Corey to order it in for me when i see him at Fogerty's show on sunday...

on Tiggi....
hasnt been here for 5wks now, i have personally sent him messages on FaceBook and posted a post on his FB "wall", doesnt appear to have been on FB in a while, i believe Techman sent(or was going to) send him an email a few days ago to see where he is at...ive heard nothing back from Techman in the emails he has been sending me lately regarding Tiggi, so i guess he has dropped off the face of the earth????

LED ZEPPELIN "physical graffiti" cd,1975.

not totally an album of newly recorded material...
eight tracks were recorded for this one, in terms of length for a vinyl album too many and the group didnt want to leave some in the vaults, so they delved back into their old vaults and found seven more tracks to end up filling up a double album....the result....Physical Graffiti.
the first disc is very stereotypically Zed Zep material(raunchy blues rock), the second disc a bit more experimental with fokly ballads, slow blues and an eastern sounding instrumental track in "bron-yr-aur".
im sure that with more exposure to this one it will get a love rating next time round!, oh yeh....Dani loves this album!
the album sold 12 million copies worldwide, of that eight million copies were sold in the US alone. as usual the album reached #1 just about everywhere, except here in australia where it only reached #2 on the charts.

a bit of trivia:
"boogie with stu" had writing credits going to the band and also Mrs.Valens who happened to be the mother of singer Ritchie Valens, who the band loved, they gave her a credit on the track as they had read somewhere that she didnt recieve any royalties from her sons record label after he died...!

Awesome album. 'Kashmir' is THE defining Led Zep track for me.

[Music Head]

we all agree, Kashmir is the track
now if SteveO will weigh in

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Never considered myself a huge fan, yet I have their first six albums, lol. This is that sixth and where I dropped
out. Not that this is a bad album. A little bit more synthesizer than prior releases, but that was the thing.
Probably a drop off from their previous, but still, nothing I don't like. In fact, a flatliner, no peaks, no
valleys, just good head bangin' hair band arena rock. And you had to love that hair of Lou Gramm. Not since Robert
Plant had we seen locks that curly. This album was the beginning of the groups downslide as far as sales only
reaching #15 here and #64 in the UK. Their first album to not make the top 10 here. There were only two albums to
follow before they hung it up, only to reunite for an encore in 2009, minus Lou. Say You Will was the first single
from this album, reaching #6, with a follow up of I Don't Want To Live Without You at #5.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - A Night To Remember

Best Track - Say You Will

Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you don't
Wanna be mine
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind this time
Say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight

I can't sleep, I keep dreaming I'm losing you
I feel so alone in the night, scared to open my eyes
I'm in too deep, I'm in over my head this time
Can't get you out of my mind, no matter how hard I try

So won't you
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you won't
Be my guiding light
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind this time
Say you do, say you do
You wanna be mine

I get the feeling, I've never been here before
'Cause no one I've known's ever moved me the way that you do
And I know this is the real thing, it's all I've been searching for
I put it all on the line, now I'm hoping you feel that way too

And if you do, why don't you
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind tonight
Say you do, say you don't
Wanna be mine
Now will you
Say you will, you say you won't
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind this time
Say you will, say you will
You'll be mine tonight

Will you tell me how much I mean to you?
Will you say you always will be true?
I need more than a "come on" sign
So won't you say you will be mine?

Now won't you
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind tonight
Say you will, say you will
Be my guiding light
Say you will, say you will
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind this time
Say you do, say you do
You wanna be mine
Come on, come on, say you will
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind tonight
Say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight

Be mine tonight
Say you will
Be mine tonight yeah
Say you will
Be mine tonight
Say you will, say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight
