Off Topic Saints Not606 Music Thread

The German version is SO much better!

 

I'm afraid that Greg Lake stint has brought on a little King Crimson. No apologies for Epitaph [apologies for the ending though]:

​

 

Now you’re talking! How about a bit more from that seminal, mind-blowing, first album?

 

And my personal Crimso favourite, Lizard. Here’s Side 2:

 

Can you believe that you can't find the original I Talk to the Wind on YT? Of course, there's always DailyMotion:

 

In an effort not to be too self indulgent, here's another one from The Dell's Tannoy system:

 

My musical choices are all over the shop this evening, so I'll end them with one that I NEVER HEARD on the Dell Tannoy system. The Monkees, For Pete's Sake:

​

 

Genius at work .....

 

Something to bring some cheer on a wet and windy day .....

 

And more happy music .....

 

The brilliant Simon & Garfunkel. Mrs Robinson:

 

And my childhood favourite from them, simply because I was mad to get a motorbike. Baby Driver:

​

BTW, amongst the boomers, WHO HASN'T GOT THIS ALBUM??? I ended up with it 3 times on vinyl. Long story.

 

Dammit, as soon as I stopped listening to Baby Driver, the old catalogue in the brain started singing out the next track on the album. The Only Living Boy in New York:

​

This is why the Bridge Over Troubled Water album sold so well. There is not a single bum track on it.

 

With the country up the creek and a lot of people feeling uncertain about what the future holds, or if there will even be a future, maybe it's a good time to think on how it has always been hard for some people.

Yet there is always the hope that things will get better .....

 

Anyone here a Roxy Music fan? I have to admit to being partial to more than a few of their records .....

 

Although I was never a total fan of Roxy Music, I did buy the albums, For Your Pleasure and Manifesto. My favourite. In Every Dream Home A Heartache. For me, this was what Roxy Music was all about. The unconventional. The absurd. The exotic. Simply being different. And they certainly were at the time:

​

 

In for a penny. Editions of You:

 

I think you people know that I cherish originals. So I tend to find LIVE performances inferior because they simply aren't played as well as the studio version. Well, this is a celebration of Elton John's Tiny Dancer from the album Madman Across The Water that I bought on vinyl several years before he became rather famous. Knew that Reg was going to do ok:

With that rather capable laddie Taron Egerton. He's OK too. Even named after a village I lived in, in Kent.
And here's the original [it obviously got too popular to remain as that denim cover shot. They made an "official" video, sadly with a few environmental overdubs which it didn't need:

​

 

TBF, my favourite track off the above album is either Levon or the title track. With the stitched demin cover:

 

Under the influence of my old man, yes.
