Ok, this is like this, create an album in the 70's album style, including the songs you like the most from any band from that period. A 45 to 55 minutes long, maybe with a side long epic or whatever you want. It doesn't have to feature your favorite tracks but also the ones that could make a consistent record that flows a coherent path as well. and name it (this will be fun). Let's see what happens it is very very dificult. Mine would be something like this: SIDE1: 1. Starless (King Crimson) 12:18 2. Cirrus Minor (Pink Floyd) 5:18 3. Gong (Cathedral) 7:00 SIDE2: 4. The Cinema Show (Genesis) 11:09 5. Awaken(Yes) 15:18 What about yours... |

can they be songs from 70s retro progsters, like Wobbler, Tangent, etc? |

| I tried to avoid these, but if you think the song is worth, go ahead. |

A concept album of the most bizarre kind. I might do another, since this one was interesting to piece together, and doesn't sound that jarring. Dreams For The Sleepless Side 1 - Rags Of Hope (26:02) In which the past is examined, anachronistic nostalgia and untimely losses are exhibited, and mortal traces of hope expire, drowned at £1 a bottle. Downhill And Shadows (6:16) - Colosseum Mood For A Day (3:02) - Steve Howe/Yes After The Ordeal (4:15) - Genesis Take A Pebble (12: 29) - Emerson, Lake & Palmer Side 2 - Door To The Sunlight (23:40) In which the body is retired, corrupted dreams and disgraced victories are reshaped, and the man that was a creature is restored, gazing through an open door to the sunlight. Vital Transformation (6:17) - The Mahavishnu Orchestra Birth (7:45) - Focus Les Porches Du Notre Dame (Desouverture) (9:38) - Maneige 49:02 Edit: extra convolution added. |

| Damn, I thought this was a thread about making up a ridiculously pretentious band and album name along with some songs to go along with it, that would've been fun... someone should. |

I liked the thing idea of trying to make them concept albums, even if very loosely Side 1 "The ferocious side" 1 - Comus - Diana (4:37) 2 - King Crimson - Sailors Tale (7:21) 3 - Bubu - Sueños de Maniquí (9:16) Side 2 "The introspective side" 4 - Van der Graaf Generator - Man erg (10:21) 5 - Yes - Awake (15:38) I still think each song fits much better in their albums than in this sort of copilations ------------- "You want me to play what, Robert?"
