Is it possible for a person (like myself) to enjoy amateurish punk rock, bombastic progressive rock, heavy, heavy hard rock, fucked up psychedelic rock, and nice, melodic pop (the good, 60's/70's type)? Am i totally fucked?
@PAULisDEADMANnumber9 No, I enoy blues rock, prog rock, hard rock, psychadelic rock too. I also like latin/jazz fusion, tech jazz, jazz fusion, classical, progressive metal and motown music. Each to their own :)
@Gmancrap Actually people back then weren't as jaded & cynical as you are. In general I think there was more gratitude and appreciation for life, and I think if you asked those who grew up then what it was like, they'd say it was wonderful. The late '60s/early '70s was a time of liberation and transformation for many people. These days we have access to so much, yet on the whole we seem unfulfilled. Maybe it's not always good to get what you want all the time.....
@Gmancrap wtf are you on about im an 18 year old who would have fucking given my left bollock to live in that time were muscians were were credible musicians coming up with really intresting stuff it was a time of creativity and optimism look at our generation we got shit like n dubz and a few i pods thats our generations contribution to this planet
Well sure you do. You guys constantly keep informing me that you "don't care" when you reply to my comments. If you truly didn't care you wouldn't bother replying.
@asarapi True. However, I would like to think that in today's world of enjoying music, the loss of great advertising and visual musical experience (having an intriguing LP to read and look at while listening to the music) is compensated in other ways (like maybe seeing your favorite bands perform more often, finding information about their songs and other works via internet). But damn, I have to admit, I wish we still had the LP cover experience, and I wasn't even born to see those glory days.
"to use it properly, u have to sit down" yes, that's what steve hackett did as well XD when playing it!!!! they don't need to show off while playing guitar, just to have the actual talent..
Watching this, I'm so happy to see a resurgance in the vinyl record, however slight. Even more, I'm loving the cooperation between the portability of music and the article with the digital download codes that are packed with recent records. That right there should be the future of the medium. Better still, every modern pressing I've come across is high-quality.
I have to go to bed, but I can't stop watching this. Prog kept me from self-destructing in high school in the '70's. It was always something to look forward to when I got home each day. Thanks, prog!
I had to go look it up in the Steve Howe Guitar Collection Book. It's a Hayman. They were built for a few years in the early 70's. Apparently, the company (or shop?) was run by Jim Burns and Jack Golder. Burns had his own self named company in the 60's, and Golder had Shergold in the late 70's. Lots of British musicians used Shergold instruments. Notably, they built Mike Rutherford's custom modular doubleneck he used on the late 70's and early 80's Genesis tours.
Hmmm - I find it strange that Bill Bruford thinks that Close to the edge is better then The Yes Album - to me there's no comparison - The Yes Album is just so full of energy.
@thatguywiththegibson - to be honest I'm not keen on any of the Wakeman albums. I love their first three and Relayer (I also love Talk but that was later)
[ close cover before striking ;-j ] ~ The comments of Roger Dean @ 02:38 - 03:26 are so sadly true.
Oh well, got to keep on keeping on........ but towards wh@?
As for the whole documentary (parts 1 - 9), it's definitely recommended viewing for anyone with an interest in the genre. I've wondered how best to interest peeps unfamilar with prog. It can be bewildering & this prog. helped to remind me of the some of less intense and disorientating examples for the uninitiated.
@metalheadnick555 funny you bring up the correlation between the album art of YES and the visual production of AVATAR...I thought the same thing when I saw the Floating patches of mountains in AVATAR!
I am artist, trained as an illustrator and these guys really influenced my own work. I love hearing about the album covers and the artists, and how they conceived of the artwork and the music.
