There's a few I've not heard, but so far 'V' is my favourite. I like every track on that album. 'At the end of the day' is one of my all time favourite album openers.

I'd agree on "At the End of the Day", it's my favorite song by them, every time the bassoons(?) come in I still get goosebumps. What a fantastic song and as you all mention, what a fantastic way to open an album.
Amusingly enough, when I first picked up the CD, I was humming the beginning one day and my wife, who hadn't heard the song at the time, looked at me and asked, "Are you singing Mandy? By Barry Manilow?" I was a little indignant ![]() On the bright side, it's gone on to become her favorite Spock's Beard song and one of the reasons that she really likes them as well. |

I found V a several years ago and instantly became a fan. I now have all studio releases and love them all. The new album X is incredible...I can't stop listening to it! It's had to name favorites, but Snow and Octane certainly deserve mention. I have made a few prog converts with Octane. On a side note, the same time I found V by SB, I found V by Symphony X. Both saw heavy rotation as road CDs.

I am immensely enjoying my Spock's Beard marathon. It has been quite a while since I paid a visit to their past discography.

I am curious if anybody on PA had their name included in the song Their Names Escape Me from the X album.

^ I'm pretty sure that Nate Wait (or something like that) was included in the names. If you're really curious, figure out the time when it was released and search through the Flower Kings thread around that time, I'm almost certain that one of the people in there is included.

You're right Tom it was Nate Wait. Being me, way back then after I got the cd I just had to check the cd and sure enough Nate is there. I wonder where he got to.........

I don't know if I remember him or not. I guess that that would be pretty neat to hear a favorite band sing your name on CD. I think that these fan-supported albums are a neat idea, but I can't personally bring myself to pay money up front for an album that hasn't been made yet. Not really sure why but it just makes my Spidey-sense tingle I guess.

Yes, my name is sung in the Spock's Beard song "Their Names Escape Me". It was pretty thrilling for me, since they are my favorite band. What actually happened was that I passed originally on having my name in the song just because I didn't have the money and thought it was a little extravagent at the time. Well, my friend (also a Spock's Beard fan) found out about it, and knew that it would be special to me, so he bought it for me for Christmas and gave them my name to sing. I was very grateful to him, and his kindness will forever be immortalized in my music collection |

That works for me............V is one of my top prog cd's of all time. Sadly I thInk everything from Snow on is not as good., though it's still interesting. Like many great bands after Morse left the chemistry was simply not the same.

Hey Nate, I'd wondered where you got to. That's a pretty cool story and a neat Christmas present.

I don't think it's a fan favorite, but I really like Day For Night.

Funny, I didn't instantly appreciate Day for Night until I needed space to fill the end of CD2 (of the new album) I burned for a 1200 mile road trip with the wife. Now that it's in heavy rotation, it has really grown on me...but like every SB album, I'll burn out in a month or so and go to another SB album, this time it's 'V'...what a majestic album! This is my first time listening through the QCs. 'The Great Nothing' is simply epic!

yeah, those Morse SB albums have lots of potential for burnout. so many hooks and licks. the Nick and new era SB albums are more slow burners for me.
