You know, Henry, my mom died of cancer, and seeing women without hair always reminds me of herUnhappy... Sometimes it would be better not to joke about such things, but then, what do I know?

Still love Tarkus and Karn Evil 9 though.


If there's one song I love from ELP, it has to be From the Beginning. Never got really deep into Karn Evil 9, while Tarkus is excellent wouldn't consider it as awesome as Supper's Ready, Thick as a Brick, etc.

From their debut, Knife Edge and Take a Pebble are the only ones that I really enjoy.
Trilogy is the only album I find enjoyable all way through.


Well I do too.  "From the Beginning" was the first ELP song I ever knew.  But ELP is the same as The Flower Kings (in recent years) to me mainly...lots of great songs, but no one standout album.


Shocked Adam & Eve? Paradox Hotel? Unfold the Future? The Flower King? Space Revolver? How dare you!AngryWink


Recent times, I said.  I do not have Unfold the Future however.  Rainmaker blows, but the others are amazing four star albums- just not consistent.


So, you bought Space Revolver?


Not yet.  I own Rainmaker on minus the one I mentioned above.


Oh... You might find similarities with Space Revolver to Rainmaker, just that Rainmaker is like if TFK decided to release Space Revolver as a double album, and Rainmaker was the second disc: similar in sound, just not as brilliant.

I checked out his website further and he had over 2 and 1/2 hours of free live downloads available so I downloaded them.  I'll give him a listen and see what I think.  Most of the songs were over 10 minutes in length so that at least is pretty cool.

Space Revolver is way better than Rainmaker, thank god.

Hmmm... I haven't heard him either. I might have to follow you up on that.

I am wrapping up rawking to Budgie and then I'll probably head home where I have pretty significant "honey-do" list awaiting me.  Fortunately, I only after to answer to me on whether or not anything gets done, but it really does need to get done.
