it may not be my favourite Dylan album but its the one i judge all others by for some reason????

Yes is one of my favorite bands from the 70s progressive rock era.
I just purchased "Fish Out Of Water" by "Chris Squire" the other day.

I love the live version of TUIB from 'Real Live' - great track
'Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Momma's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough'
Brilliant lyrics.

Have not heard that one yet! Must get it. Love most of Yes's stuff. The one track that always gets to me is 'Awaken' from 'Going For the One'. Their new album 'Fly From Here' is very good for a band that is supposed to be past their prime. Give it a whirl.....

Cipiot, I love 1349...so originalIMHO ! Have you listened to Blut aus Nord and Ash Borer?
Cipiot Wrote:Right now I am listening to 1349 band. But psychedelic music is my cup of tea. I am also into metal and very selected alternative.

....then back over to the vinyl box till the weekend.
Annie Haslam has to be one of the best female vocalists of the time for me. Chamber rock is what they called it. A
perfect blend of classical and rock music is what I call it. Renaissance never had much of a following. A little
Bigger in the UK I guess, but even there the best chart showing for an album was a #35 with A Song For All Seasons.
Not sure where I picked up on them. This is their seventh album which didn't even chart in the UK and a weak #46
here. Only five tracks on the whole album with a 13 minute opener being my favorite. Annie makes it work. Showing
two different covers for US and UK releases. I like mine better. The group had constant lineup changes but is still
active with Annie and Michael Dunford the only original members. The is the bands lowest rated album on allmusic,
but I still like it.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - The Captive Heart

Kansas - Two for the Show. Has to be one of my best prog-rock live albums. Play this one an awful lot.
