Tarkus
The Gates of Delirium (up to 'Soon')
Nine Feet Underground
The Revealing Science of God
2112
Hemispheres
etc...

Arrgh. I'd forgotten about that album. Cygnus X-1 used to scare me, so I memorized it... I pretty much remember the whole album as well. Just when I thought I'd gotten off my Rush high...

I'm horrible at memorizing anything, including song lyrics. The only song I have memorized is Holy Diver by Dio. I used to sing it all the time because I'm a loser.

I don't remember a single song really well, once I put something on and I hear the first note I know excactly what comes next, but in most if not all cases I can't remember a darn thing about any song, just by thinking about it.
closest to full remembering (if I sing it it will still take me 5:52 seonds, so I know it pretty well) is Bohemian Rhapody and we will rock you from Queen, not really impressive, but than again I'm getting older by the minute. ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

Name any Tull song...or, for some variety, I know some King Crimson here and there. Not that words are the key point of their songs...
Oh, and Wish You Were Here. Heh. I even worked out the guitar backing for that. I'm so cool. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we... Gotta stick together." -I. Anderson |

I admit to buying The Last In Line because of the album cover. I liked him OK back in the day, but never a devoted follower. Still, Vivian Campbell's solo on the title track is amazing. E -------------

I can sing them all in my head...Except for Kraut and Japanese and those exotic mysterious b*****ds...in general! (does whistling the tune count???)

It may not be perfect, but I am darn close to knowing all of "Lateralus" (the album)
Listen to it a minimum of once a week, and it is still that good.
