Random Song

To provide impetus: similar way were

1. Turn Of The Century (masterpiece) from otherwise average (that is good) Yes album Going For The One;

2. Orion--sickly beautiful composition from otherwise fairly commercial Stormwatch by Jethro Tull.

I feel myself touched in a big way specially when lyrics "talk about me". In fact, I release my own compilations and listen to them again and again. There are too many, so it's hard to put just a couple of pieces, and my sensation is an orgasmic (!) explosion of emotions. It's one of the reasons why I love this genre.

At least most favorite--so, were there any tracks from those which somehow touched you in a big way? In my experience Say It's All Right Joe by Genesis from And Then There Were Three was such a track--somehow it provided long lasting and very strong impression on me for the last.....many years And I still listen to it...

'Say it alright Joe' touched me very deeply too. Its a song that many people slate and dismiss as rubbish, but for me, the lyrics and when it 'kicks in' always send a shiver down the spine. It's still one of my favourite Genesis songs. There are other 'random' Genesis tunes that have a similar effect; 'Can utility & the coastliners' and 'Turn it on again' (believe it or not)

'Pussy willow' by Jethro Tull from 'Broadsword & the beast'  always touched me, not so much the lyrics, but I think I always found the melody and overall mood of that song very stirring.

'Ark of ifinity' by Pallas used to make my eyes water when I was a teenager, I still like the tune, but it doesn't have quite that effect on me now..

There are many tunes, from many diffenet types of music I'm sure, and I could go on, and on.....

 . A personal fave of mine (the whole album) as it evokes such sweet memories of  "psily" teen age antics and reefer madness.

(edit: Not that I ever grew out of it!)

Hi Certif1ed

Agreed about 'Dust of time' There is some of Hawkwinds finest music on the Levitation album..

Question for you (or anyone who knows) On the track listing, it says that 'The fifth second of forever' is 'from the film' Do you know what film this refers to??

Also, from Genesis's ATTWT: Deep in the Motherlode, Snowman, and Say It's Alright Joe - Rutherford at his finest hour as a songwriter. I can even notice a Hackett influence in the way he created the basic melodic lines for Deep in the Motherlode.

I like 'Tormato' as well Yes are as tight on this as any band I've ever heard.So what if the tracks are not 20 minutes long.

My favourite cut from Tull's Heavy Horses has always been 'Journeyman' which might seem a little unusual. I adore the lyrics, (bland, commuter-like characters appear a lot in my writing) and the superb bass line.

I also adore 'Release Release' from Tormato. However, I wouldn't go as far as to say the album's underrated. Let us not forget the unforgiving horror of 'Circus of Heaven'.
