Re: Albums That You Shelved After One Listen
I did buy The Wall by Floyd when it came out (1979)...cool packaging and much hype around it....played it a few times and never played it again.
Comfortably Numb and Another Brick were all over the...

Re: Albums That You Shelved After One Listen
^ Those first 2 or 3 Mahavishnu lp's are excellent...Goodman found a band that was as good as if not better than his own abilities.
The Flock were interesting imo but didn't have the chops he had.

Re: Mountain versus Spirit!
I saw Mountain in 1970-1 in Chicago...good show ..never saw Spirit unfortunately. The original band broke up after 12 Dreams in the end of 1970.
IMHO that lp is better ,more creative and diverse ...

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
Them Changes was my favorite by Buddy but not exactly obscure...imho....Them Changes was on the charts and radio a lot back then.
Even Auger and Driscoll were fairly well known in England .
C'mon...

Re: Favourites by Artist - List 6
Yeah...many 'hair bands' like them I didn't care for back in the day...
Van Halen ,Leppard and Jovi were never on my turntable.
I will say that Eddie was a very good player who deserved a better band...

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
They, Gravy Train, did 4 lp's and most of them are on you tube.
I like that early Brit proggy blues rock sound from 1968-1972 or so..there were a few US bands also but the Brits had it down.

Re: Mountain versus Spirit!
Spirit... more influential imho in the world of music.. better songwriters also....and a band that had many styles married into their overall sound.
Hendrix played with and taught Randy California...

Re: David Bowie versus Elton John!
I think if one looks at the lps by both from 1969-1980 the material by Bowie carries more weight and gravitas than Elton's stuff....though as mentioned Elton did some nice songs in his career.
