Jesus Rum, you've been here only 3 days and you have almost as many posts as me. Get some hobbies dude.  I'm really just kidding, don't take offense. Anyway, hmmmmm...Genesis' Supper's Ready, although I'm sure that wasn't a huge money maker for them, as the only time I've ever heard that song on the radio was on a program in Cincinnati called the "Get Back Show" and the theme for that particular week was "Songs in need of a better editor"------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Yeah, Rum's aspiring to be the next Reed Lover or Velvetclown with the posts.
My band: Dream Theater's big hit: In the commercial sense: "Pull Me Under" (I heard this on my local classic rock station while driving today. Wow!! I loved it even more than listening to i at home) Among prog fans: debatable, but i'll go with "Metropolis Pt. 1: the Sleeper and the Waker" or "Final Tragedy"

Rum26, why are you discussing Rainbow here? Great band, but not prog. Your statement above is incorrect. Rainbow's best-selling album, I believe, was the incredible Down to Earth, and the highest charting single was either All Night Long or I Surrender. As for "personal opinion," Rainbow's last two albums with Turner on vox were absolute sh*te. Turner's first album with Rainbow, Difficult to Cure, was awesome, but Straight Between the Eyes and Bent Out of Shape were AOR-crap created for US radio. btw, if you haven't already, you should pick up the excellent book Rainbow Rising.

Hmmm.... Down to Earth: best-selling album, didn't break up Bent out of Shape, sold poorly, band broke up afterwards.

To the commercial audience: Yes's greatest hits are Roundabout and Owner Of A Lonely Heart. To Yes fans: Yes's greatest hit is Starship Trooper ------------- Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me.

not in my book. starship trooper is good, but heart of the sunrise creates more atmoshere, shows off anderson's vocal chops and songwriting better and displays each musician's musical prowess equally and effectivly as well. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

Not in mine, either. SirPsycho might have been mislead by the milloions of times Starship Trooper was played at concerts, and even Wakey (who wasn't even in the original studio line-up) himself covered it thousand times! Though I respect your opinion stonebeard, my highlights among Yes fans would be the all-time great Close to the Edge (look at Sir Psycho's signature, for God's sake!!! A comment on King Crimson coming up! ------------- Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret: Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!) |
), Awaken, and my personal (and I suppose most everyone's) favorite Gates of Delirium. Roundabout, too, has an appeal to Yes fans besides its commercial success. But my favorite from that album is South Side of the Sky. Listen again!Posted By: Hammill

Fair enough RUM, but a prog band is discussed in the PROG MUSIC LOUNGE, and a non prog band is discussed in the NON PROG MUSIC LOUNGE. Fortunately, others have chosen to discuss prog bands in your thread. |
