I've never understood why BG gets so much flak. It's a pretty good album and I prefer it to 90125.

Also, in some ways I prefer In the Wake of Poseidon to ITCOTCK.

One of my favourite Yes albums is Drama, very tight and upbeat.
Islands along with Starless & Bible Black are my favourite Crimson albums. I always listen to them back to back as if they were a double album.
A Gentle Giant album I really like more than many including the band themselves is Civilian.
Although I`m not a big Rush fan I listen to Signals from time to time. Ilike the way they toned down the complexities and was happy to see Geddy come down off the lower register.
I`ll also admit to liking ABACAB especially the title track. Reminds me of university for some reason.
Nobody really likes Grobschnitt after EROC left in the eighties but I love The Last Party Live album.

Thank you!  That album sounds fine to me.  It's not my favorite though.

I prefer A Passion Play to Thick as a Brick any time. Both excellent albums, but A Passion Play is much better, IMO!

I actually prefer Aqualung to Thick as a Brick, which puts me in a tiny minority. They're both pretty good, though!

Well I don't like the distorted vocals on 21st century schizoid man. This is not always
a bad thing but here it hurts for me.

Off topic: I liked your review of Paradox Hotel very much, i agree with almost everything you said                   there.  Only ...I like Bavarian skies (with distorted vocals) very much.

I'll follow up your suggestion about "Back at he world of adventures" in this thread, it's together with "Rainmaker"  the only TFK album i haven't heard.

I've always loved "Three sides live" by Genesis but over the years I've realized that a lot of folks think it's terrible.  I wasn't bowled over by the original US version with the b-side studio cuts but the UK version with more live songs knocks me out.  And the "In the Cage" medley is so powerful that I consider it one of their best performances EVER.  But I seem to be in a minority when it comes to that album.

No, you definitely can not say 'Black Metal'. 'Afroamerican Metal' is the right way!

Entombed are/were Death Metal, whereas their newer stuff is death'n'roll and really cheesy. Black Metal is a completely different sound, so I suppose for a person unfamiliar with the genre, At The Heart Of Winter would be an excellent introduction.

Seriously, get At The Heart Of Winter now! It is the epitome of coldness through music! And it is 10 times more progressive and technical than anything they'd released.

(oh, and yeah, I should have added that Immortal are indeed a BM group, but ATHOW is in no way a normal BM album)

Thanks, pal.

I thought he looked like a member of Scandinavian death/black (can I say black? is it politically correct enough?).

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the Scandinavian bands, except Entombed.

Thanks, anyway.

PS: You should check out the new Slayer album when it's out in June. They are the business!

My wrong album would be Raindance by Gryphon.

Much as I love RQ2G3 I have always preferred its follow up..precisely because it has a lot of quirky short pieces. I am quite fond of Treason too.

That's Abbath from Immortal. I'm not sure if you'd like anything by them, but I suggest listening to At The Heart Of Winter from beginning until the end and see how you like it. One of my absolute favourites in my diverse collection.
