This is a really stupid thread.  REM?  Give me a break.  Everyone knows
that the three greatest consecutive albums are _Never_For_Ever_,
_The_Dreaming_, and _Hounds_of_Love_.  Why look any further than the
three best albums of all time?  The only problem is deciding which is
the best, and how much better they are than anything else.

BTW, this is all tongue-in-cheek, for those too humor-impaired to realize.
Oh, except for the "this is a really stupid thread" part.

You could see Koyaanisqatsi/Mishima/Powaqqatsi as some kind of film-music trilogy, however,
I would include The Thin Blue Line too, violating the Trilogy assumption.

I'll extend the list a little:

Music in 12 Parts, Music in similar motion/Music in fifths, Dances 1-5, The Photographer, Solo Piano.
Music from 'the screens', Passages, Company.

My favourite is Akhnaten (and it probably will be for quite a while!)

   I picked up both albums the week they were released. I had high hopes
after the long wait, but I was slightly disappointed. I'm not saying
that they're poor albums, by most artists standards they would rate very
highly, but this isn't Springsteen's top form in my opinion. There are
standout tracks on each album and what I've done is put about 12 of the
best cuts on a cassette for listening in the car.
   To give you a point of reference I rate the Springsteen albums as follows:
           1.Born To Run
           2.Tunnel Of Love
           3.Darkness On The Edge Of Town
           4.Born In The USA
           5.The Wild, The Innocent And The E Street Shuffle
           6.Nebraska
           7.Lucky Town
           8.The River
           9.Human Touch
           10.Greetings From Asbury Park NJ

   I didn't rate the live set, only the studio work.

     Well, how about Rec.music.lyrics.metal rather? We wouldn't want to see
   any country lyrics in there! *grin*

Why don't we get the rec.music.lyrics group going first, then see what
kind of traffic is going on in there and figure out whether it is
really necessary to have a rec.music.lyrics.metal as well? Seems to me
that it would be easier to sell the rest of the world on the first one
and then try to get the other one going.

I am especially interested in _Hellzapoppin_.  Does it have

Michael, you said that you were going to go shopping for this a while

How does _Fork Songs_ compare with _Weeville_?  I am liking the latter

How about the new David Kilgour album?

  Actually, from what I hear, only Anderson, Squire, Wakeman, Howe, and Bruford
played it (the others left the stage), but I'd love to hear it just to hear
Squire playing it again!
  Oh, also, I think they only played it on a few shows during the second leg,
because I saw them on both legs of the tour and didn't see them play it.

True enough. Even without the Genesis video, I know that Banks and
Collins both put a tremendous amount of writing influence into this
period. Listen to "selling england by the pound" for example. Fine
musicians. (Rutherford and Hackett, too). As a matter of fact, THE
LAMB was written, musically, entirely by the other 4 members of
Genesis, with the exception of COUNTING OUT TIME and CHAMBER OF 32
DOORS. Lyrically it was Gabriel's baby, except for THE LIGHT DIES
DOWN ON BROADWAY, Side 4. This was written by Banks/Rutherford
(lyrically and musically), only because Gabriel was running out of
time and he couldn't, in the end, finish the job.

I am certain that Banks wrote a good chunk of the music to FOUNTAIN
OF SALMACIS, and I know he and Rutherford wrote WATCHER OF THE SKIES

      Who sang this song?  I have it on an old tape of mine, but I cannot

to the early 80s.  Can anyone help?  The chorus goes:

      Wasn't it you who said that nothing matters
      Wasn't it you who had to have it all
      Now your broken wings are all in tatters
      You can try to fly, but it's just too far to fall.

If so, I agree.

Almost ALL of his compositions are exactly the same.  IE:  Batman, Edward

Piece of advice: get yourself a copy of the Phil Spector box set, 'Wall of
Sound,' (which you should get anyway), and listen to the song on disc 1
called "Every Breath I Take." I think comparisons are valid. The word
"ripoff" does spring to mind, especially since Sting claims that the song

OK.  :-)

I recently got a copy of the Nice's album "Nice".  Apparantly,
it's been re-released recently on Sony CD's.  I forgot about some of

PS: Is there a group called "Friendly" something?  :-)))
