larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1767 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: April 13 2010, 16:47 Quote (Syd B @ April 13 2010, 15:51) Lars, it seems your Pink Floyd interest stops where mine begins! No, it just wanes slightly!  They don't have a bad album, but Momentary Lapse and Obscured by Clouds are disapointing by Pink Floyd standards. Dark Side and Wish You Were Here are a bit overrated and the Wall and Final Cut are more like the Roger Waters show (but I like it!. I now realize that I forgot Lizard and Islands by King Crimson. And Solar Plexus by Nucleus. Great, great, great, GREAT albums. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

ex member 892 Group: Members Posts: 827 Joined: July 2008 Posted: April 13 2010, 17:39 You have to remember, Obscured by Clouds was written and recorded in only a couple of weeks (I think). And don't get me wrong, I love all of those early albums (hell, what's my user name ). Actually, I really should have put Ummagumma on my list. I really love the live half of that. A couple I forgot: Frank Zappa: Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar Metallica: Master of Puppets John Coltrane: A Love Supreme Back to top

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1767 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: April 14 2010, 06:38 Sammy Hagar? Now that's an unexpected choice!   It's not the one with "I can't drive 55" on it, is it? I used to have that video on VHS back in the 80s and I found both the song and the video hilarious. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Its a recent one post Van Halen And yes his 80s solo period was pretty cringe Its a shame when artists get pigeonholed on a hit way back when that was never their best work, Take Depeche Mode for example( just cant get enough) Red Voodoo check it out Back to top

Einstein on the Beach Glassworks Solo Piano Koyaanisqatsi But can Einsten on the Beach really be a favorite album? I don't think it was conceived with the album format in mind. By the way I forgot to mention Sandy Denny. Northstar, Grassman and the Ravens. That album is like a little twilight world of its own. Milamber: I've give that Sammy Hagar album a listen!
