Could any one tell me what are the "good" albums by Joni Mitchell. What
should I buy if I have to buy 2/3 albums by her. I remember someone 
telling me "Blue" is good.

Thanks!

Ya know, I was thinking about this the other night as I popped in an old ELP
tape trying to figure out whether or not to spend the money (and the time) to
go see them when they come to town next month.  As I listened to their music, I
thought to myself that what it meant then is not what rock means to people
today.  Much like drugs in the 60's were an experimentation in life, now they
are merely an addiction or a cop out of life.  I guess what Roger Waters felt
at that Canadian concert playing the Wall was prophecy.  THe 60's saw people
asking questions and seeking answers.  Today, they don't even know what
questions to ask.  So in some regards, rock is dead, but as long as old farts
like me listen to it, it'll always be alive in my memories, if not
occassionally in my experiences.

I really want to get into YES, and I'd like to pick the
brains of die-hard Yes fans that know what's best.
Can somebody help me?

I've started on (don't laugh) 90125, which I think is cool.

I've heard that their older stuff is better, and I'm wondering where
to go next.  I'm into Rush-like complex-style music with lotsa 
changes and cool drum/bass/guitar interplay.  Which older YES albums
are for me???   You've been given the opportunity to create a new
Yes fan - send me down the right road!

Thanks.  E-mail me with your ideas.  All I need are some album names.

Just a little food for thought from critic David Browne of 'Entertainment Weekly'
about the Clinton inaugural concert series.........

     "It's ridicuous to continue thinking of rock as standing for anything it
once did--rebellion, anxiety, teen hormonal frenzy, distrust of authority.  And
the rock inaugural is also definitive, saddening proof that rock 'n' roll is now
merely music, merely entertainment....ready to be stuffed, mounted and enshrined
as feel-good nostalgia for baby boomers."

And, unfortunately, I believe his point-of-view is MOST valid.......R.I.P rock music...............

Jethro Tull came out with an album with the London

My father has a copy of it on tape and I've been
looking for a copy on CD for about a year.  One store
I checked found it listed under London . . rather than
Jethro Tull and said they would order it for me.  This
has been a year and something makes me think they're
not getting it.  Hmmm.  Another store said they couldn't
get a copy because it isn't a domestic album.  The long
and short of it is - I want it and I can't get it.

Does anyone one out there have any useful information
for me?  Or does anyone have a copy they would be
willing to sell?

As long as there are garages, guitars & drums, rock music will never die.  
The kids that are holed up in various garages around the world will continue
carrying on the rock torch, just as the previous generation and the ones 
that came before them.  Another thing.  Not all change is by definition bad
as many seem to think.  If rock had never changed over the years, we would
still be listening to just 50's style music.  Nothing wrong with listening 
to Buddy Holly or Chuck Berry but I sure like to put on a bit of Yardbirds,
Cream, Steely Dan, Aerosmith, Dash Rip Rock, etc........now and then.  I can
remember in the early `60's people were saying rock is dead.  Hey!  Let's be
a bit tolerant of change in this group.  
As for Clinton being an indicator of the death of rock....I'm sort of happy 
that we have someone in the White House that knows that Fleetwood Mac is 
a musical group and not a real fancy truck.

Hey Bill!!!!
Play that funky music white boy!!!

He was front man for Mott The Hoople around '69 to '74, when he left to
pursue a solo career.  Albums from Mott (which included Mick Ralphs, who
left to form Bad Company) include:

  "The Hoople"
  "All The Young Dudes" (also the title of their biggest single, written
                         by David Bowie)
  a greatest hits and a live album

Hunter's solo albums include:

  "All American Alien Boy"
  "You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic"
  "Welcome To The Club" (mostly live)
  "The Ballad of Ian Hunter" (or something like that, a good compilation
                              of both Mott and solo stuff)

One of his solo tunes, "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" was recently (in the last
5 years) covered by (I *think*) White Lion.  A lot of his solo stuff is
with Mick Ronson, who I think used to play with Bowie.

This is all off the top of my head and probably slightly inaccurate and/or
incomplete - hopefully someone else can elaborate, as I'd like some more
info. as well.

Although I haven't listened to Mott or Hunter for a while, I *REALLY* like
Hunter's songwriting - lots of great wry humour (eg. "Alice", "Pearl and
Roy (England)") and some nice tender moments as well (eg. "Irene Wild").

This is *really* making me sentimental:  guess what albums I'm going to
dust off tonight...

Hope it's helpful,

MIKE

Oh, yes, an what an awful version that was. I'm ashamed of buying that
piece of shit soundtrack. I already a copy of "Foxey Lady" and I bought
Classic Queen a month later. Tia Carrere may be good lookin, but she
can't sing!

While I'm on the subject of "Bohemian Rhapsody" (well, almost), I would
like to point out that I thought it was real pathetic to see that song
on Top 40 Radio next to Paula Abdul and Bobby Brown and whatever else
it is they play on those ultra-commercial stations. Somebody asked me
if I liked "that new group Queen."   AAAAAAAAUUUGGH!

I hear Duran Duran is making a comeback. Is this true?

I'm sure this is really naive, but what does ROIO stand for? I assume it
means bootleg-type illicit recordings, but what exactly does the acronym
mean? 

On a related note, _Hot Wacks_ is a book that calls itself a complete
bootleg discography. It's published by the same people who do the Led

have information how to order these from the company, if anyone's

I apologize for the slightly off the topic question.

Since my last posting, I have had the oppertunity to check my collection.
Cystal Ball does not appear on Cornerstone, as many people have pointed out.

According the the Styx Classics compilation I have, it appears on the album
with the same name : Crystal Ball.

Right!  That is what is so incredible about rock, it keeps changing, with
new people adding their voices. The old stuff seems to hang around and get
too much air play but if you look around a little bit there is always
new bands with something new to say.  "Cult of Personality" is one of the

As was mentioned, "Crystal Ball" is on the album of the same name, the first Styx album Tommy Shaw appeared on. Alot of people think Grand Illusion was the first with Shaw which isn't so - it was just the first commercial success (besides the single "Lady"). Crystal Ball is actually a very good album, it follows along the same lines as Equinox.  The song Crystal Ball shows how emotional Styx music could be without being commercial (which they forgot how to do beginning with Cornerstone).  

I believe a live version of Crystal Ball is also on the soundtrack for the movie Roadie.  Anybody remember this ? It starred Meatloaf as a roadie and had appearances by Alice Cooper and Debbie Harry (and a few others I can't remember at this time).  I haven't seen the soundtrack for years however and I never got to here the live Crystal Ball. I became a Styx fan sometime after I saw the movie so I didn't notice the song in the movie itself, although it was probably in there somewhere.  How is it, if anyone


 has ever heard it ?
