TBF, I avoided live tracks and I love a good live album.

live albums were an important part of mine. Yes in particular are so much better live. Lou Reid wouldn’t have been close to my picks other than the live album highlighted.

Don’t think I picked the version you wanted. Think I f@clef up the order on Blueparrot’s too and have a live acoustic version of The Eagles on RobMCFC’s as far as I remember,
but I was in s as rush.
The missus wanted to watch a movie on Netflix.

I managed to listen to a few of your albums too. I’m going to continue tomorrow before submitting my scores.

I’ve heard some decent tracks so far that I hadn’t heard before, across the spectrum of genres.

It is a brilliant thread, but I think if there is a listen/vote involved, some semblance of structure will need to be put in place. I can't do all the top 10s justice and listen to them all fully in the compressed time frame (whilst doing my day job). Plus we need to keep listening to an album a week on @BlueHammer85 's thread as well.

I'd suggest having one theme a week, everybody nominates one track (or maybe two or three depending on how many are participating), we built a playlist (aim for 20 tracks) and everybody votes on it by a specific point in the week.
Results are tallied, medals awarded and we're ready to go again next week.
Just a thought - this is similar to what happens with a group I am part of on Goodreads.

Interesting. Got a 3 cd Saga compilation for Xmas so just starting to get to know them. Singer reminds me of the guy in Zon. I did see Saga a couple of times many years ago supporting Styx.

I remember they played UMIST back in the day too. Was just part of the regular Saturday night rock disco.

Tried Saga a few months ago, but it was Full circle, which apparently isn't a good one to start so will try again.
Whats reaaly intiguing thing about them are the Chapters, a concept released over many albums not in the right order. Then apparently there is eventually a live album with the whole thing played in the right order.

It's also an apt description for the length of some of the tracks on these playlists.
