Saw Steely Dan's name on a list above......don't know if prog fans dislike them but I haven't really seen them mentioned very often. I'm a fan of their music and have been from the first lp.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin
I finally thought of an artist that I like a lot, but
doesn't seem to be very well appreciated around here...
I agree... he's done amazing things for music and I really need to
explore his work more. I'm quite a fan of his prepared piano sonatas

Yeah... I put a question mark next to the name because I never see anyone talk about them. One of my favs

Hey everyone. I'd like to get a consensus of how others may feel about The Eurythemics.
Yes. They are a synth/pop band mostly, but what I think makes them special is that the Eurythemics were part a special and elite generation of other great pop/electrónica bands like New Order, Depeche Mode and Tears for fears. The 80's was a time were pop music carried a certain level of sophistication where by I feel The Eurythemics fit into this club of other great pop performers of the 80's. Certainly, The Eurythemics being primarly a synth/pop band still added other levels into their music like Dave Sterwart's Elaborate Guitar work and the use of brass instruments like the Saxaphone made them hardly prosaic in any sense of the word. Great band live as well. Annie Lennox has one incredible voice.
Anyhow. Like to hear what other Progheads feel and the like. :)

I once owned the first 3 lp's and thought they were ok.....a bit too poppy for me at times but Lennox has a great voice.

Sorry buddy, but Eurythmics =
That's ok. But on a side note, I heard that you appreciate Iron Maiden's The X Factor album. Well, I've gotta do this
to concur with your feelings. It's not well liked here, and I think it's easily not One of Maiden's Worsties if you will.
I think of Dave Murray's guitar work on that album and I just love it. Some of his best really. Sign of the Cross, Blood on the Worlds hands (great chorus sung by Baylay!) Judgement of Heaven and The Unbeliever are great efforts.
I had all of these tracks stuck in my head for years....wait....better count Lord Of Flies as well. :)
Anyways.

That's some of the music I grew up on, because my parents were still listening to new wave in the 90's, so I'm familiar with this type of music, and also do like it from time to time. I'd also add Oingo Boingo to this mix.

It's too bad the X Factor doesn't get much props. I enjoy it, and definitely prefer it over the previous two albums. Fear of the Dark is easily my least favorite Maiden album. We all know Bayley is nothing like Bruce, but setting that aside, Iron Maiden put out two good albums with him on board. I think Bayley did a better job on Virtual XI, but overall The X Factor is a better album.

^ I'm obsessed with Maiden's X Factor - just brilliant. I will stand by that. Harris' finest hour, too.
I guess I just can't stand Annie Lennox - too much exposure to her solo songs at work just does my head in. She is in the same league as Cher for me. And we have a dude who shares the same name as a Prog giant - Dave Stewart. Why doesn't the Eurythmics guy call himself David Stewart ?? Shocking......
