Classic Rock (Phil Collins lives, run for the hills)

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Though I am not a Prog fan in general, Yes are one I like some songs by. I think that has a lot to do with Squire's bass playing.

I'm no expert on Yes but the bass on Roundabout is very impressive and my favourite track.

Nothing produced after 1975.

Classic Rock: Inside the circle of appreciation:

Nirvana (ok I know)
Creedence Clearwater Revival

Outside the circle of appreciation:
Black Sabbath
Deep Purple (other than a handful of tracks)

Pink Floyd (the Coldplay of their time)
Any Guns n' Iron Maiden kind of crap.

Any American crap like t Eagles

I have left out solo acts like Bowie and Lou.


I am, as ever, a man of 1000 prejudices.

The only stuff on there I haven't got is Family!

The bass on that who.e album is superb, as are his backing vocals.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Oh shit! That's my favourite Yes track too.

We have two things in common now, City and Roundabout: )

Anyway. Nevermind all these flares and high high rockers, what about the Stranglers, how are you getting on with their albums i recommended?

[Tuearts right boot]

That's only 4 mate if you discount compilations etc :). Not the same, but just as good after Fish left

Beside themselves and Best of both worlds being the compilations....I think we'll agree to disagree after his departure.

I've been buying lots of UFO recently but latter day stuff mainly as I had everything up to Misdemeanor.

Lat year I indulged in the special edition of the Strangers In The Night live album - eight discs featuring the shows they recorded to cull the original release from.

As already mentioned to day on another thread, I was a guest of theirs - thanks to infamous Classic Rock photographer Ross Halfin - at Day on the Green in 1981 and then their headline gig at Long Beach Arena, supported by Iron Maiden.
