Classic albums?

[Jake_Taylor]

There wasn't much public outrage about it, more like some mild kvetching. Although I don't see that picture popping up in google searches much these days either.

What are you searching for that you thought it might pop up?

Remrmbering the topic, I did an image search on Tatum O'Neal Paper Moon. Lots of her in underwear/ t-shirts but the topless ones seem to be gone. Probably illustrating the difference between 1974 and 2019.

As mentioned earlier, Marquee Moon is such an awesome album.

Others I consider classics in my collection;
Who's Next
Darkness on the Edge of Town
Highway 61 Revisited
London Calling
Speaking In Tongues

Agreed. But better they go on their own terms than three other ways:

1) A band member dies unexpectedly (far too often, it seems to be an OD).
2) They were to keep going and people no longer showed up (listen to Genesis' "Duchess" ... simply sublime)
3) They keep going out there in a blatant money grab (too many bands do this for too long, doesn't really bring it or clearly has lost too much off the fastball).

Listen to their last studio album, "Clockwork Angels." Listen to "Caravan," the title track and "The Garden." Fastball was still there. Not an album the level of "Moving Pictures," "Permanent Waves" or "2112," but that's a daunting baseline. No way they'll go under the "one album too many" category.

This, relatively speaking, is the way to go.

Agreed.

I could only think of KISS on their latest farewell (this time we really mean it) tour. It's bad enough to perform cynically and passionless (Medageth) or to sound terrible (Mastodon) but KISS manages to do both.

Hey, I am going to the KISS show in Toronto in August (plenty of local fans are pissed assuming their show here in March is really the last one)! I love The Who but this latest, Townshend/Daltrey/orchestra thing, seems like even more of a blatant moneygrab than some of their other tours.

As for Rush, I hadn't seen them since the Moving Pictures tour but I know loads of people who saw them on their last tour and said they still brought it on stage.

Hope you have a blast, man.

Singer and Thayer are professionals and can still deliver the goods. Paul still gives his all but there isn't much there anymore. Not his fault - dude is just older and time isn't kind to a voice like his. Gene has been mailing it in for years but I have to give him credit for being so upfront about his motives.

This could be interesting...

I saw KISS a few years ago in a smaller venue outside Toronto and they were great. All that stuff you say is spot on, but it's still a great show and for Huggy Jr, a 19-year-old who has never seen them, it should be pretty cool.

Just to put you and Jr. in the proper frame of mind. August is a long way off but it's never too early to get revved up.

Didn't see one mention of U2's Joshua Tree, which for sure meets the "Press Play" definition.

Oh my. Thanks for sharing this.

Sober Ace reminds you of how influential and pioneering some of his stuff is. forked Up Ace skips being bad and vaults right into depressing embarrassment. It's very nice to see him whole again.

John 5 is a monster. He can play anything...

Hot for Teacher
Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
Two Minutes To Midnight
Cat Scratch Fever
Seek and Destroy
Man In The Box
Thunderkiss '65
Dead Skin Mask
Detroit Rock City
Burn
Roxanne
Limelight
No More Tears (bass line)
???
Kashmir
The Beautiful People
Killing In The Name
Walk
Beat It (whole song)

...and he can also play on anything.

I had never heard of this guy but that medley is pretty cool.

As for Ace he caused more kids in the 70s to pick up the guitar than any guy not named Eddie Van Halen. One of the greats.
