OK here we go - the thing that really appeals to me about the Floyd is that they broke so many barriers and rules through the years. They did what a lot of other bands were afraid to do. And those who weren't afraid to 'break the mould' didn't take the time to really do it to the same standard that Floyd did. 'Still First in Space' is a small but very relevant example of the amount of effort that went behind everything they did. They made sure it counted. Having four distinctly different personalities that were all able to contribute to the final product in some way or another helped as well. I remember reading an article where Roger said Rick did not make a significant contribution to 'Animals'. When I listen to this album all I hear is Rick. Think of the beginning of 'Pigs', the instrumental interlude during 'Dogs' and the jazzy beginning to Sheep. Not to mention all the bleeps and blobs inbetween. He was a massive contributor to their repetoire.

Going to have a stab at the 30th anniversary edition of Kansas - Two for the Show. This was Kansas at their very peak. What a band! Carry on my Wayward Son, Dust in the Wind, Song for America, etc. etc. all bloody brilliant.

from my library (vinyl)



Thought a best of set from these guys would fare better than it did. They did have a few more hits after this collection which would have raised it up I'm sure. Still three of their greats for me here. Main thing I didn't like about this band is the fact they rarely did original material. My favorite here happens to be a Paul Williams song, who could never sing a lick anyway, but wrote some great songs. The band did pick some good ones to cover. But they should have stayed away from Your Song, sacred ground. This album went to #5 on the Billboard charts. Some nice live 70's clips here.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Your Song

Going to haul out a copy of the first CD I ever bought (the original is long gone) and remind myself why it's just so damn good. 'Dark Side of the Moon' - Pink Floyd.

You might find that interesting , as you get older, the lyrics take on a whole new meaning!:evil:
