What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

Much, much better album than Rumours. Their best work. But my favourite tracks from any FM member remain 'Storms' & 'Sara' from Tusk.

Yea, I was thinking you had mentioned this album.
Didn't know you thought it was their best

Bad Company - Bad Company - straight up rock n roll. Brilliant album. Have not played this for quite a while.

Yes drummer, replacing Bill Bruford. Has played with many of the greats. His first regular gig
(keyboard) was with Ginger Bakers Airforce, then Joe Cocker. Then John Lennon recruited him for
the Plastic Ono Bands Live Peace In Toronto show, then Lennon's Imagine album. Bill Bruford had
grown weary of the direction the music of Yes was taking, and made the decision to split after
the Close To The Edge album, opening the door for Alan, who had become friends with Jon
Anderson. This is Alans only listed solo album. Of cource it's not really a solo album. Another
of those misused terms in music. All of the other Yes members were doing their solo albums at
the time so I guess Alan felt like he must do the same. He shouldn't have. This is a bad album
for me. Best track is the one where Anderson and Howe guested. Only two other tracks even get a
like score, and then there are the two instrumentals. Alan does get credit for vocals here but
I'm not sure on which tracks as there is an obvious different vocalist between tracks 1 and 2. Sounds
like a black dude on the first one.

Manfred Mann chapter 3 Manfred Mann made 2 chapter 3 albums which were a lot more of a jazz orientated mix [video=youtube_share;-lY1m413ZxA]http://youtu.be/-lY1m413ZxA[/video]

Hittin from the new stack. Another bargain from the discount bin for $5. Not real thrilled but I had no Genesis on cd. Any compilation with 18 tracks should score higher. Four love tracks and four do not like. Pulled from eight albums, dating from 1973 to 1997, but half of those tracks are from two albums that are not among my favorites, Invisible Touch and We Can't Dance. Only one track with Peter, from Selling England By The Pound. Since this release that I have, the album has been reissued as a 2-cd set, with another 17 tracks. The bummer on my set, in addition to the tracks I don't like, is a reworking of The Carpet Crawlers that is not nearly as good as the original. Why did they do that? The original would get a love score.
