When I post the picture of an album issued by a "rare" or little-known artist, I give a little comment on the style. I find it pointless posting a cover without explaining which music lies under when it's something rare.

If you're so curious about what type of music it is, you can go look it up We're not required to do that for you.
|
A bit to hard to do when the covers lack names or titles.

True. Then you should say what the band name and album titled are. Instead of saying something like this:
we have to guess the type of music ? Our musical knowledge is not exhaustive.
You should say something along the lines of:
What band is that? What type of music is it? Is it good? etc...
|
I agree. If you're really curious as to what it is, be polite and ask a question. Don't be asinine about it.

With all the ACDC threads,The last album that I bought was For Those About To Rock ( My Wife Actually) I really only like the Bon stuff myself but with Nazrareth I find them more interesting. My best description for the band is Slade meets ACDC. As usual it is the early albums I love when they were young and full of beans as with most bands

Hi Pablo,
What do you think of Ian Gillan's venture in the jazz-rock realm ? Clear air turbulence is known as the best of Gillan Band's jazz-rock era. I am not very fond of this change of direction (for Gillan that is).

Both absolutely great! (In their own different ways as I'm sure you know) Zappa has always been a favorite of mine and I just recently got Snow. Let me put it this way: Best rock opera since The Wall!

We're Only In it For The Money is one of my favorite Zappa albums, and I'm in serious consideration of giving it a 5 star rating. The closing track always makes me question if it's a 4 though. I really have a tough time with that track. Snow is one of my all-time favorite albums, and I wouldn't hesitate in giving it a 5 star rating. I love the pure emotion on that album that just can't be beaten. -Jeff

To Jeff,
I have the 'absolutely free' album by Zappa and love it very much. Is the 'only for the money' album as good ? Thanks

Same here, although it's just Frank trying to be experimental and it gets better with each listen

In my opinion it's every bit as good as Absolutely Free, and maybe even better. However, it depends on what you're looking for. We're Only In It For The Money is much more avant-garde than Absolutely Free, and it will take some time to sink in, but I think it's a fantastic album. ![Smile Smile](smileys/smiley1.gif) If you have an opportunity to buy that album, I highly recommend that you do. -Jeff

I must admit that I usually shut it off after 2 minutes
