Picked up that CD up in a charity shop. Couldn't get on with it, I found it too weird - so returned it.Quote:

Great live gig from early 80's demonstrating the power of one of my favourite bands!!! Its also available on old VHS tape (not many people can play those anymore) but luckily, you can watch it on You Tube (get the higher res version and the one that's complete and not split into sections - not that many of you will as I get the feeling that there aren't too many hard rock fans on here) !! :lol: :lol:
Understandable. I have a friend, fellow respected music aficionado, who still doesn't get on well with all things...Steely. She's trying at the behest of her father (a fan since the start). Not there yet; still trying to like Aja. Some bands/artists are polarizing. Mr. Fagen (with and without the "Dan") has a knack for that from album to album. I like it but I'm an unrepentant music whore. I haven't even binned my copy of Kay Huntington's LP and that record is HORRIFIC!!Quote:

GREAT SEMI PUNK/ROCK ALBUM FROM 1984 BY THE FALLEN ANGELS.
Like a lot of my CDs, I picked 'Americana' up in a charity shop. I have always admired Ray Davies's lyrics and their quintessential 'Englishness'.Quote:

'Americana' is, to quote the blurb on the cover:
It started as flickering black and white images through an old movie projector. Faces of cowboys and Indians and other superheros of my childhood. The good guys victorious over the dark forces of evil. Then as I grew up, the music took over. Rock, jazz, skiffle, folk, blues and country songs came to liberate me a Londoner growing up in the austerity of post-war Britain. The music gave me the feeling that I could express myself with this new art form called rock and roll. Then, as I toured America with my band, I saw the place first-hand as we experienced the highs and lowsin our turbulent career. Those romanticised images of my childhood were replaced by the real world, as the flickering light of the fantasy turned into the cold light of day.
Americana is not so much about the country or even about the style of the music. It represents hope for a better future as the dream continues along the great highway.
Ray Davies

Not everyone likes it: https://observer.com/2017/05/ray-dav...ricana-review/, but I find it pleasant enough; "pleasant" here being as damming a description as 'anodyne'. I certainly wouldn't pay full price for the CD.

I'm with your friend here - I have always had a love/hate relationship with Steely Dan. I admire the superb production of their recordings, but couldn't 'get' what they were about. To that end, I would buy their next LP, hoping to find out why everybody raved about the Dan. I now have all their LPs and am still no closer to finding out!Quote:

What - no additional comments in big colourful font? :eyebrows:
If that relates to me, then all I can say is, "a change is as good as a rest because familiarity can sometimes breed contempt." :thumbsup: Even though the change might only be short lived :eyebrows::lol:Quote:
