Felt like a relax, I know a lot of people pooh-pooh these guys but they actually did do some rather good stuff, all their albums are beautifully recorded and well produced, this is probably my favourite, Sirius and Bamba are also very good.

I think I used to have this one, if it's got Bono guesting on one track ("In a Lifetime"). I quite liked it. These days I just have a best of on CD.Quote:

Looks like they are unwilling or unable to explain the symbols, but that's ok - it'll always be Led Zep Four to me :)Quote:

Spinning now... thoroughly recommend a listen to this band if you do not know them, this is a live recording , 'Birds of Fire" is their most well known and is a great one.

Seriously though I am so lucky to have found a copy of this at a price I can afford (£36 including post all the way from Finland, a lot of sellers are asking silly prices). I think it is possibly my favourite KC album, not that most are pretty good, in this line up they seem to encapsulate their early feeling along with a rawness and edginess, Adrian Belew does an outstanding job on vocals, some of the tracks have an awesome power and presence hard to describe, it needs to be experienced. No everyone cup of tea but really worth a listen. The 4th side also has 4 tracks from the Vroom EP.

Gong is not 'Glam Rock', it's just that I find Daevid Allen a bit too twee and whimsical; he was much better IMO when he played in Soft Machine. I used to have vinyl copies of 'Flying Teapot' and 'Camembert Electrique', but they didn't last long.Quote:

I think everybody had a copy of Camembert.. think it was a special 50p promotional thingie, no one I knew (including me ) kept their copy... :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:Quote:

I love Marmite as well.
But there are many performers who are good musicians, yet they largely leave me cold. Steve Hillage is one such, as is Steve Hackett.
Steve Hillage is a great, Green is a classic album. I have several Steve Hackett albums and they are all good IMO, maybe you just don't like classic prog rock as well as glam rock.:lol:Quote:

Regarding Steve Hackett, it's probably because I detest Genesis (in all their incarnations). :sofa:
:eek: You might well hide behind that sofa! I'm currently playing "Shaka Zulu" by Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Not glam rocky, and not remotely like Genesis :) Hope you approve...Quote:
