Found this while cruising the net. Never heard of them before. Great track - https://youtu.be/Z8Oy2SUZjKc?si=5c8e5ddRQCqMtFYK

Classic album! Made at a time when musicians had real imagination.

^Back when you sat between two giant speakers and listened over and over again until you'd absorbed every ounce of information from the album cover as well as the music. Well I did!

Firefall - Clouds Across the Sun 

What can I say - country rock does it every now and then and these guys were good, generally, IMHO. That said, while there are a handful of decent numbers on this one, it's not a spectacularly great album. The resident earworm ...

good band, i own "luna sea" and their self titled debut.

QUEEN   "classic queen" 1992

cd borrowed from a friend...
most certainly NOT classic Queen as described (as seen in the track list below)...
to me Queen went south around the time of Radio Gaga (1984) and12 of these tracks are post 1984 which says it all...
and BTW, while im on a rant, what possessed Brian May to sign off on these tracks and daring to call it "classic queen"???...
it is extremely rare for me to dislike a Queen album and never a compilation but,
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM.

all great songs there except Louie Louie
can't believe I knighted you an honorary American
and you don't even love the Beach Boys

Ooops sorry!
and i think Pet Sounds is one of the most overrated albums i own...

if its any consolation i do like the next two greatest hits albums.

God Only Knows is my favourite song of theirs

Re: Sitting between two giant speakers etc. etc. Did that for years - the happiest time of my life. Discovering new sounds and being consumed by them. Bliss.

An absolutely stunning performance of 'Awaken'. Brilliant production.
