No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

^ Oh ok, that makes sense. I will let the mods move it if they deem necessary. It's still part of the main forum, right? As long as it stays in the feed, people will view it and thus reply. Yeah, I assume the active user on PA will pick and choose what topics to frequent based on the people who make them and the content. I don't prefer PE for that same reason that some random "niche" thread will pop up and last for days on end - where are the listening and band/artist threads that can spark discussion? Instead, you get "this guy from this band (nobody cares about) releases another book". Seriously?!

^ JFF is "Just For Fun" in internet slang and I was referring to the people who frequent the Just for Fun forum at this board.
^^ And yeah, Jared, there are enough Cardiacs fans here, but not everyone is interested in such topics or posting as regularly as they once did even if they pop in now and then. One notices various posters who are logged in as active users but aren't posting (nor checking a wide variety of topics). That Vangelis one would have stumped me. I know his 70s albums and a fair amount of his post-70s albums. By the way, I don;t post at the forum, but I have noticed that Progressive Ears has a 188 page Cardiacs thread, with a few and especially one very active contributor. I wonder how the most prolific there would fare against the most prolific in the epic Flower Kings thread here at PA's forum in a battle royale? Just a silly thought for the day. |

^^ Yeah, I was hoping someone else (with a greater knowledge of Cardiacs) would jump the wagon there, but hey...nobody did. This topic stalls repeatedly, it's not just you Logan. I will not persuade the topic to gain traction just to skip your picks - I will let someone else answer it. JFF crowd?? What is that? Anyway, as Jared stated, indeed this supposedly is a quick paced game where your picks could get stolen (or picked), so it's up to you to be on the lookout, always. I sense it an obligation to frequent this thread as the OP, obviously. FWIW, I'm one of those who will pick Passion Play over Brick any day of the week. Grand Statement: yes indeed, but too repetitive in arrangement and fails to holdup after many listens for me. Sorry

^^ oh, you've got enough Cardiacs fans in here to help you here Greg, although as you know, I'm afraid I'm not one of them.. I was surprised the Vangelis choice was taken up as quickly as it was, for which we have John to thank.
I think you chose correctly with TaaB; it's their masterpiece and after all... there's only so many times the Hare can lose his spectacles, isn't there?

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

While Cardiacs is quite the Marmite band, it has had its vocal appreciators at this forum. I love those albums and figured some others might be enthusiastic enough about them to want to respond ere very long. From my POV, if anyone wishes to jump in and skip my dynamic duo to answer the Jethro Tull question and then list their own two, I would be fine with that. Maybe some would like to answer mine later when/ if this topic stalls. That's up to the game-master (aka the OP), I guess. Sometimes these topics just don't get momentum when the forum is not busy and it might elicit more of the JFF crowd (and their numbers have diminished). Anyway, some might choose before long, but I just wanted to put this out there. While I would not want to be the one that leads to the death of this topic, worse, I would not wish to see those wondrous albums be the death of this topic.

Do you wish to take the Tull challenge, Cristi, or are you passing the torch?

Yeah, these were my first listens of both and I don't think I can craft a worthy opinion without a few more spins. Not really my style - reminded me of Porcupine Tree, but the production of Trace just propelled this one for me. Sorry Cristi

^ Grand Tour; always thought Folklore is overrated. Then, I'm a sucker for a great live recording packaged as a studio album. ________________________  or  |
