Jan Akkerman doesn't need to shred and it sounds better.

Focus have been to Swindon about three times in the past few years and I've missed them every time.  Hugh Cornwell is playing next year though... maybe worth seeing.

Now hold on, Richard... the yodelling makes it for me!

I saw Spock's Beard too earlier in the year, a great live band.

Asia's first album is good IMHO. Don't like their other 80s albums.

i always dug this tune. so simple, so fun but with those gorgeous Tony Banks chord voicings... he has a very unique way with harmony. and a great punchy track (with he faux sitar and whatnot).
 
a highlight on a powerfully good album, IMHO.

AH HA! i didn't even notice that it wasn't Chicago proper !
 
Seraphine used to be one of my favourite drummers. and what a killer tune, eh?
 
i just recently bought the remasters of those Chicago albums from 1 to 7 (the last truly good one, i think)

It's their best album IMHO. Still stands up well all these years later...probably my favourite album of all time alongside 'Close To The Edge'.
