What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

thanks Ed, was a bit worried about doing it, i take the p*ss out of Floyd every now and then but i do have and appreciate some of their music, and for a double album to have 26 good to great tracks is a fantastic thing,especially when its not a best of set

Good review, Lloyd.

And suitably fawning if I might say so...

Currently - my home alarm - bloody cheap crap electronics!

Damn! that clown turns me on. Sort of a rebound from some really bad albums for me. Of course the flame is gone by this twelfth album. One bright spot of the title track, as long as you don't watch the stuoid video. Album is notable for the Ted Templeman production who had done some heavy weights. Sort of rejuvenated their classic power pop sound on a few tracks. The album died on the vine at #123 on the U.S. charts. The title track was a single, but fared even worse. No competition for the worst track, that was bad. The band is still kicking but the glory days are long gone.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Ride The Pony

Best Track - Woke Up With A Monster

Hush little darling, don't you cry
Daddy's comin' home, comin' home tonight
No bed of roses for your head, for you
You see no future, it's all in the past
This is a nightmare, won't be your last
It's hard to admit, it's hard to admit, you're that blind

Mommy and Daddy don't see eye to eye
Mommy and Daddy don't see when we cry
Mommy and Daddy they don't understand
What's wrong with this picture, is right in their hands?

Sleeping with an angel
Woke up with a monster
Sleeping with an angel
Woke up with a monster

Hush little darling, don't be long
Momma's little angel can't do nothin' wrong
No bed of roses in your head, for you
Who'll dry your tears when you cry?
Daddy's comin' home just in time
Will he be the one to make it, to help make it right?

'Cause Mommy and Daddy don't see eye to eye
Mommy and Daddy make each other cry

Sleeping with an angel
Woke up with a monster
Sleeping with an angel
Woke up with a monster

Not sleeping with an angel
Not sleeping with an angel
Well, Mommy and Daddy don't see eye to eye
Mommy and Daddy don't hear when we cry

Mommy and Daddy don't see eye to eye
Mommy and Daddy don't see when we cry
Mommy and Daddy they don't understand
What's wrong with this picture, is right in their hands?

Sleeping with an angel
Woke up with a monster
Sleeping with an angel
Woke up with a monster
Sleeping with an angel
Woke up with a monster
Sleeping with an angel
Woke up with a monster

Oh no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no
La, la, la, la, la, ow

Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses - incidentally my late old man's favourite album after Mario Lanza. Go figure!
Favourite 3 tracks - Moths, Rover, Weathercock.

This is one of those classic albums that it's taken me a while to get my head round.

West-Coast Psychedelia from '67 that is largely acoustic, and is extensively orchestrated.

A beautiful record that, for me, has been a slow-burn grower.

Kings Of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak

In my opinion their best album to date. Every song is worth listening to. They really put in in nice order

[psylocke24]

With Arms Wide Open - Creed, I am hoping to hear the Creed band again.

This is a bit of an odd album this especially in the lyric department........I think it is the only one that quotes "Snot caking on my jeans " but underneath the flippancy there is an eccentric genius at work in the shape of Arther Lee and with time it does stand out as a classic

Who are we talking about here Gryphon???
