I have been. I do need another drink though, now you mention it. I stopped taking the Beechams on Sunday and think maybe I should have continued to take it. By the way, how did you like Hellebore?

PA needs a better way to convey the organ solo from Roundabout.

Roundabout needs to lose the terrible faux-reggae part.

Aw, c'mon, it's not faux-reggae, it's avant-reggae or prog-reggae (and, tbh, I like it , along with just about anything else reggae or reggae-related I own)

I prefer Keef Hartley Band - Roundabout
It's a completely different tune but wonderful.
So you like the horrid reggae part in Rush's The Spirit of Radio?
Ewww.

Never seen that part as particularly reggae (after all, it only has a couple of the reggae thrums), but yeah, I like that song, and that part, quite a lot. It's what I consider a good Rush song.

That is a terrible Rush song. Reggae only works on one song (apart from Reggae songs, obviously) and that song is Meurglys III: The Songwriter's Guild. Roundabout's reggae is horrid. Rush's The Spirit of Radio reggae is also horrid. Dub Side of the Moon isn't bad though. But that's because it's done by dub artists, not rockers.

Whatever. But reggae also always worked quite well for The Police, but no surprises that you won't agree with that either.

I forgot about them.
No, it sort of worked with them, strangely.

Gentle Giant: Give It Back. That works well.

That's a wonderful tune. Not to mention the reggae section of Meurglys III.

The live version of Meurglys III is even more epic, mind you.

You really need to investigate more Gentle Giant, James. I know you have their two first already. Im sure you will enjoy them!

There's quite a few and all bootlegs. I don't know of a legitimate version. I'll try and see if there is one.
