This topic is only as good as the people who contribute to it. If all that MO fans listen to is MO, then I would personally consider that to be a little blinkered, don't you? However, reading between the lines I don't think you meant that at all - I believe you wanted to be provocative, perhaps because you are bored maybe? Of course, if the topic bores you, you don't have to read! There's plenty more on the boards for you to enjoy.
Korgscrew and I had an exchange on this a couple of weeks ago and we agreed that it would be more interesting to give a little more detail on what was being listened to, facts about the music, maybe what makes it stand out and/or unique. Now some posters are willing to do this and others are not, but as this topic has been running for over twelve pages, it is of interest to some just as other threads are to others. As far as I am concerned, long may it continue as I share Moonchildhippy's sentiments - I have discovered some great new music (new to me that is) as a result; music I would never have heard of or listened to had I not read about it here.
Now maybe if you want to discuss the merits of this thread with me, please engage me via PM, otherwise feel free to share what you listen to with the rest of us and perhaps the reason why.
Now playing: It Bites - Once Around the World
English pop, rock and prog, all rolled into one great album. The eponymous track is an epic. A fifteen minute collage of English progressive rock eccentricity, woven together by excellent musicianship. John Beck's keyboards and Francis Dunnery's guitar work compliment each other perfectly and strike the right balance between individual brilliance and collective group delivery. The album is well produced, well played and drips professionalism and confidence.
It Bites were a sadly underrated prog act in the 80's. Once described by Mark Lammar as 'Like Marillion with sex. A far more pallatable concept than sex WITH Marillion!' Making a comeback - apparently.
