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

You can’t possibly write off some of those Bands

You can if your me ;-)

Which do you take most exception to?

Most of them tbh. They are classic rock, not Prog Rock. U2 are definitely not included

In later life, my fondness for Tull has grown and grown. I first saw them back in 1977 - day after Lynyrd Skynyrd - and had Aqualung and Bursting Out on vinyl but I think I've now got all their albums, including box set versions of six of them. Shame Ian's voice is shot.

I've loved this record since its release. I've already mentioned Bob Ezrin today but BDB is one of the great production jobs.

I think it’s a very underrated album, it’s one of those albums I know every word of every song

On the other hand I've got more or less every Marillion CD up until Fish called it a day, They just weren't the same after that.

I avoided Marillion when they first appeared but long after Fish left, I did eventually give in and buy the albums he appeared on. More recently, I've been trying to collect his solo stuff; not easy to get at a sensible price though. He's done some fine stuff though and his cover of Alex Harvey's Faithhealer is epic.

Classic rock must be defined as good though mate. Thats what makes it classic surely. So many musical prejudices formed as a teenager that have followed through. I still don't think I have listened to a Deep Purple album all the way through. Riff begins, tantalises for a minute and then repeat. album after bloody album. ;-)
And don't get me started on Marillion or most of U2.

I don't know if it is underrated but it is superb and sure does have some memorable lyrics.

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?

I have procured several Stranglers albums in my covid acquisition extravaganza. Not much therefore has had many plays but the Stranglers have gone down reasonably well. They aren't going to reach the levels of affection you have for them but they are worth having.

I had 2 one his first solo albums...View from a hill was one and cant remember and have lost the other. View from a hill was halve decent.
