[The Wicker Man]

Hey Guys! Some bullet points from me:
* I love early Genesis, but, I pretty much did a 180 after Duke.
* I hate Phil Collins solo stuff with a passion. Sorry.
* I'm pretty much a metalhead with a lot of progressive influence.
* I love classic rock, but, I'm good not hearing a lot of it ever again. Unless it's a more obscure tune by a popular band. For example, play "The Rover" by Led Zeppelin instead of "Black Dog".
* I don't have any gear. Just the music I'm into.
* I'm not mellowing out with age. I'll be 56 in April.
* There's so much great music out there for everyone if you're not too lazy to search for it.
* I can't wait to see live music again.
* Devin Townsend is one of the greatest singers/artists that a lot of folks don't know.
* I was never into soundtracks, however, they are so important. Platoon always comes to mind. Along with Reservoir Dogs.
* Although I'm not into gear, we own a piano, 2 cellos, a 3/4(i think) stand-up bass, and a viola......my kid's instruments from school.
* Now, I'm going to continue drinking. A local IPA. Cheers, bros!

Cool I laugh at when people say Phil's solo stuff Brand X, Big band, Jethro Tull, Peter Gabriel, Eric Clapton, Beatles stuff, Robert Plante, Buddy Richs band etc, etc, etc, etc. He does so much with so many artist........... But too each his own.

I think when you look at the man this says it all. a Perfect score.......

Phil Collins is a Michael Bublé Fan - Bing video

Yeah, I hated his solo shit from the get-go. Plus, his covers are cringeworthy. Oh, I was never a Clapton fan, I always felt he was so overrated. I know, I've taken shit for this stance. Plants solo stuff = Boring. It's all good bro, I'm not a fan of Phil. However, his son's stuff is pretty good.

No we all have our favorites.......When I got tickets for Plantes tour with Phil I was early. I asked the sales lady for tickets backstage.......she goes why you can get good seats out front. I said no i don't give a dam about Plante I want to hear Phil play drums lol

Not so new ... The Wicker Man not only has great taste in music (I was really glad to see him weigh in here) but he met Jordan Rudess in person.

RIP Chick Corea

Passed away from cancer at 79 this day

From Stan Getz to Miles (In a Silent Way & Bitches Brew) to the various iterations of RTF he was a true hall of famer

My favorite work of his was the Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy album (the Billy Conners one, pre DiMeola)

His work on the grand and the Rhodes was amazing and where he lived. ARP? not so much, he never really did get synths like Jan Hammer did

Genius lost yet preserved in so many recordings. S'long Armando

Hey CH, here are some of my favorites from 2020:





These all came out in '20.
Green Carnation-progressive rock/metal band from Norway.
Psychotic Waltz-American rock band from California
Haken-Progressive rock/metal band from the UK
Pallbearer-American doom metal band(Arkansas).
Dark Tranquillity-Swedish band that uses both harsh and clean vocals. It may not be your thing, but, give it a shot.

a little harder than my normal listening but cool none the less. I like the music more so then the singing. Whats cool is that at our age you are still finding new music to enjoy

I just got Tidal this past year. I never really wanted to pay for a streaming service but gave it a try anyway because all the songs are cd quality or better. whats amazing to me is that when I looked for the songs that you suggested here and also.the ones that Fudbutter suggested, I'm pretty sure I found every one on Tidal. and I had never heard of any of them before.

while I really don't need a streaming service because I own virtually every song that I know that I like it does allow me to easily find new music which is pretty cool

do you think you might be getting old enough to where you remember things that you dreamed about when you were young and now they are remembered as reality? lol. just joking, but..

my father, after he had his stroke but before had had lost most of his mind, once told us a story about when he was in the Navy and he docked in Florida and met and hung out in a bar with Frank Sinatra and some hot women. good story, but I wondered why I had never heard it before and wonder if he may have imagined it or not
