Time for a new thread - we listened to over 5,000 songs/albums! Time to rock on!

Be safe and well all!

Cool - new thread!

I'm in.

Camel : The Snow Goose

A desert island album for me.

Andy Latimer dropped me a line to say that the (long) review / analysis I wrote was the most comprehensive he'd seen

The Pineapple Thief : Abducting The Unicorn

Planet X : Quantum

ProgAid : All Around The World - Tsunami Relief

This was a song recorded by numerous UK-based neo-progressive rock artists, and sold in support of the tsunami relief efforts in Japan.

It isn't great music, and I can only stand listening to it once every few years, though it's fun and it ends in a nice wall of sound. And they put 4 separate mixes / takes on the CD, with varying lengths.

I bought several copies of the CD at the time, to give to people as gifts.

Going "Old school"

Slayer's Reign in Blood.

I was just playing Seasons in the Abyss. I can’t claim it was on purpose this time, but the songs end up in my Tech N9ne playlist. But also, a friend of mine talks with one of the actors from the killogy videos all the time. The actor with an eye patch is a movie director and has a movie called the FP.

St Vincent is great - loved her at the Nirvana Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

Yeah, she’s a genius (she was actually awarded a MacArthur genius grant). A very original musician and a brilliant performer. Did you notify that in that SNL clip she seemed to be playing some kind of electronic slide guitar with her microphone? I never saw anything like it.

Before the day I met you, life was so unkind,
But you're the key to my peace of mind

Jesus Christ Superstar

Original rock album cast

One of my all-time favorites.

In high school, we teamed up with another high school up the road and did a stage show of JCSS - I was the music director (working under the direction of 2 teachers). In retrospect I don't think we were very good, but at the time we thought we were musical geniuses

There's a nice discussion of that album - and of the recent PBS stage show - here:

Since college I always play the album on Easter.

It's a fun tradition and keeps a nice sense of normality.

We've been listening to jazz singer Gregory Porter's new CD "All Rise." His song, "Love is Overrated" is mesmerizing.
