Ha, well I can't be sure, as it's graded on a curve (the grades are relative to the class average), but it felt pretty good. The teacher included some material I didn't know would be on there, so I'm uncertain, but decently confident. I'm likely just overly modest; I felt the same way about the midterm, and I demolished that one  Next major final is 8 in the morning on Saturday... *shivers*

^ Wow, great list!
 Yesterday: Franco Battiato - Pollution (It's interesting how experimental it is but tries to be accessible as well.) Demon Fuzz - Afreaka! (First listen. This is amazing  )Videodrone - Mondo Ferox (Videodrone = Jakob Skøtt without drums) Forma - s/t Kyros - Vox Humana (Hardly seems like more than 80 minutes long.) Banda do Casaco - Dos Benefícios dum Vendido no Reino dos Bonifácios (With booklet in hand this time. A concept album that (unfortunately) is still relevant forty years later.)

Allman Brothers Band - Eat A Peach - This may very well be my number one favourite Southern Rock album. Not only are the studio tracks consistently strong, but it also features one of my top 5 favourite pieces of music period, Mountain Jam. I don't think I've heard many (if any) other bands with interplay as tight and creative as on this megalithic beast of a jam. And when they slow down for Duane's climactic solo... that's what makes music worth listening to, man!
Rush - Fly By Night - This is a pretty solid hard rock album. I don't really care for By-Tor but all of the shorter tracks on here are fantastic rock tunes. My favourite is probably the title track. Simplistic as it is, it's probably some of the first things that comes to my mind when I think "classic rock". Geddy's bass lines and Peart's tight fills grooves along so well, and Lifeson gives what is possibly my favourite solo of his entire career. Great driving song! Nuova Era - Return To The Castle - The first of my 2016 releases for tonight that I'm trying to catch up on. Some very well-done symphonic RPI, no doubt, but I'm not really digging the English vocals. I think I'll stick with Il Passo Del Soldato from these guys. The Winstons - The Winstons - This one is more fresh and original sounding. Very creative stuff, and lots to appreciate even though I'm not a Canterbury super fan. The vocals aren't problematic, per se, but my favourite parts are probably the instrumental sections. Axon-Neuron - Metamorphosis - Strike three! The music here is awesome, if a bit much to really digest on first listen, but I'm just not digging the singer. Oh well, it's still satisfying to see music this extensive and ambitious being conceived in this day and age. Steve Vai - Alien Love Secrets - I think that for guitar fanatics, this is probably Steve's finest album. All of the tracks on here are six string powerhouses (except maybe Ya Yo Gakk, but that one's still fun). I think my favourite is probably Juice, though; it really shows off Vai's more energetic, feelgood side. Marshall Tucker Band - Running Like The Wind - Yeah, this is the good stuff! This is the 8th (but unfortunately last) consecutive classic album that these guys put out as far as I'm concerned. I love the extended instrumental sections on this album, like on the haunting title track, and Unto These Hills. And Pass It On may very well be one of the most fitting closers in the Marshall Tucker catalogue, sort of reflecting on the nostalgic, "romanticized history" feel to a lot of their songwriting. Yes - Relayer - What a great album to close the night. This album is prog, man.

Ah, thanks for reminding me, jerk!
I was playing my `Body Love' in the car last night, my burned CD of it started skipping in the final track, so I went home and ripped copies of both the vol 1 and 2 CD's to put back in the car, and I freaking left them on the desk at home! Threw my whole plans for the drive home tonight into complete chaos! Clearly I will have to make other arrangements now.

Oh Gary, whenever I see that album mentioned (and I do have the CD of it, it's a fine spacy disc with one or two mind-blowing moments that lift it that bit higher), I ALWAYS think of this bit on the Simpsons: "I wash myself with a rag on a stick..."  Sadly I'm doomed to forever associate the two! Edited by Aussie-Byrd-Brother - December 16 2016 at 03:16 |

Update: My bad, the album I was thinking in my description - "It's a fine spacy disc with one or two mind-blowing moments that lift it that but higher" was their most recent one `Once There Was A Time When Space And Time Were One'.
The rest stays though!

Oh no, whatever shall I do, I only have THIS to listen to in the car instead right now?!
 Actually when I ripped my CD's for my Ipod, I noticed I could fit two of their albums onto one CD, so it also has this right after it:  Poor me....  Edited by Aussie-Byrd-Brother - December 16 2016 at 04:26 |
