SteveO Wrote:I seem to be drawn to Tumbleweed Connection lately!,,,from 1970 somewhat obscure with no big selling singles...too difficult to choose a favorite from Sir Elton's vast catalogue!

A lot of EJ's early albums are quite brilliant. 'Skyline Pigeon' is one of my favourites from his early days. 'Mona Lisa's and Mad Hatters' is another classic.

And later on in his career 'Song for Guy' - an instrumental tribute to one of his roadies, to 'Empty Garden' a song about the death of John Lennon. Brilliant musician and a great interpreter of Bernie's lyrics.

back to Townshend....he should be grateful that 'another generation' of kids are 'into' his music IMO!

What Are You Listening To? - SteveO - 04-03-2013

Totally agree and why would he be annoyed because fans are associating him with smashing guitars!!!!....THE FAN RULES!!!!!![QUOTE=CRAZY-HORSE;70602]back to Townshend....he should be grateful that 'another generation' of kids are 'into' his music IMO![/QUOTE]

Welcome to the Family by Avenge Sevenfold Avenged Sevenfold – Welcome To The Family
Never Dead by Megadeth Megadeth – Never Dead

THE ZOMBIES "odessey and oracle" cd,1968

this is not the innocent 1960s pop of their mega-hit "shes not there"...
this ispsychadelia,folk/pop with some of the best harmonies in pop ever recorded.
saying that though, does not mean i love it,but it is a good album.
was recorded in 1966,the record company wouldnt release it so the guys split up(but the public didnt know about it!),
then the record company released 'time of the season' in 1968 as a single and they had a huge hit on their hands(none of the band rated the track back the,thinking it was a throwaway song).
record label asked them to reform to tour for the single,then released the album...it didnt really sell that well at the time.
according to the linear notes in this '40th anniversary edition' of the album Rod Argent(band pianist) says it only started selling well after Paul Weller described it as his favourite album of all time back in the late 1980s,also according ot the notes in the sleeve this album now sells around 100,000 units per year worldwide...i guess it could be called a 'forgotten classic' of the rock era...me, i like it but dont rate it as a classic album(like 'pet sounds' also) but i guess if you were there then, then you'd probably 'get it' more than i obviously do!
this 40th anniversay edition of the album has two discs,one on original 'mono' with several bonus tracks, and the other disc is the newly remastered 'stereo' version
also, as a footnote, the melletron they used on this album was apparently later used by The Beatles on their "sgt.peppers" album when the Zombies left it in the studio because it wouldnt fit in their van when they packed up and left LOL!

I could not have told you I owned this album before pulling it out of the box. I must have been
successful in blocking it out. I will do that again after I post this. Allmusic says he was
Britians Elvis, now there's an insult for you. Sounds like the Bay City Rollers at their worst.
The album is said to be the follow up to his comeback album. Didn't even chart here, but peaked
at #8 in the UK and #26 in Australia. First single was my favorite, but I could only find 5 of
the 12 to reach a like status. The others are just bad. Was this guy one of those teeny bopper
fads? I guess I was just born too early.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
