Rick Wakeman's "The Six Wives of Henry VIII". I discovered this from the excerpts on "Yessongs" and finally found the CD years later. Great stuff.

A little while ago Roger Miller's "King of the Road" was playing. It's a fun and catchy little song, but did it really deserve the Grammys for Best Rock & Roll Male Vocal Performance and Best Rock & Roll Single over "Yesterday" by the Beatles?!?!?!

As I noticed in the Lyrics thread. Is it "Permanent Record", the 4 disc best of?

No. The indiviual albums! I was up to Dare to be Stupid.

"The Wall" - Pink Floyd. God what a great record!

I think "Caress..." is more ignored than maligned. It's definitely overshadowed by "2112" and (not that Rush is a pop band in any sense) "Caress" doesn't have any songs that are as catchy as other albums. It may also be that people don't want to be reminded that they are going to get old and disillusioned.

How to loose your fans by writing 20 min. epics that go nowhere.Actually I can not understand why this album is considered their purple bannana.It is one of my favorites.I know it is Tolkien inspired.Maybe that is why I like it so much.

Nice early Rush marathon!!!! Quick! Since "Caress of Steel" is a concept album, what's the concept?

<sigh> guilty as charged re The Wiggles and Sea Patrol - however; Australia has me, so it all balances out at the cosmic level

[Teriw]

I didn't know the wiggles were Australian. I do blame woot for Sea Patrol though. My dad watches it and I hate him a lil more each time he puts it on.

[srboone]

Blame Mr. Woot for the Wiggles. He's our token, I mean, representative Aussie, so he gets all the blame...

[Teriw]

Sounds like the wiggles. How I hate the wiggles. The Backyardigans However I LOVE and have watched alone on occasion. lmao

[srboone]

To whit to whooooooo? Never heard that one. I do know a lot of people (including myself) who go blah, blah,blah...
