ALL TOGETHER NOW

With "ALL TOGETHER NOW" I discovered ARGENT. This collection has some magic and mistery i still can not explain. It has a perfect combination of two completely opposite talents: ROD ARGENT vs RUSS BALLARD. One is the progresive master and the other one, favored rock. It is an inteligent combination and you can feel there were two bands inside ARGENT, This situation was similar only with THE WHO. John Entwistle s' songs were different in text and sound to Pete Tounwshend s' or the other members tastes (Keith Monn flavored surf music and Roger Daltrey, R&B). Also similar were The Kinks, a band with two brothers as song writers. Also the Beatles...and so on. "ALL TOGETHER NOW" is simply a great album with great songs. There is a version with Russ Ballard, "Closer to Heaven", the Stones flavored "B" side to Hold Your Head Up.
