Bob Dylan comes the closest for me but Anderson will always be my favourite lyricist/songwriter.

I need to Tull more.
|
| |
Agreed.
|
| |
Goddamn I still haven't got around to listening to these guys outside of Thick as a Brick, gotta change.
|
| |
Minstrel in the Gallery, Rowan me lad.
@Pleb - 'Tull me more, Tull me more, did she put up a fight? Uhuh, Uhuh...'
|
| |
Jamie rec'd me the exact same thing and then Aqualung so I'm on it man
I decided to just DL the albums of theirs that Sput has over a 3 am I missing anything there?
|
| |
The only one rated below a 3 that I'd say is worth hearing is 'A' but I wouldn't worry too much about that album at this stage, you've got the best ones.
|
| |
Might come back to that one once I've checked out all the rest, cheers. What was the order you told me again, Jamie? TAAB, Minstrel, Aqualung, then what?
|
| |
then A Passion Play, Heavy Horses and Songs From the Wood.
The latter two are much more folk influenced and less proggy than the others but if you like the folk influences on their prog albums you'll probably still enjoy them.
|
| |
Righto I'll get on that thanks again
|
| |
Enjoy yourself and stay safe, Rowan.
|
| |
Thanks Buttery baby I'll make sure my delicate young ears don't get over-progged
|
| |
lol, take particular care when listening to A Passion Play, that's some crazy shit.
|
| |
Crazy as in like random genre jumping? Cos I'm kinda used to that after Mr. Bungle heheh.
|
| |
Nah not really, more like crazy as in some of the most over the top, wackiest prog out there.
|
| |
'lol take particular care' made my morning JT thanks lol.
|
| |
Oh so it's just like grandiose, does it have like a really elaborate concept and lots of solos and that kinda stuff?
|
| |
Oh and now that I reminded myself by mentioning Mr. Bungle, Buttery man you gotta check King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime already.
|
| |
Oh so it's just like grandiose, does it have like a really elaborate concept and lots of solos and that kinda stuff?
Yeah, the concept is about life and death with the play/theatre location being a metaphor for the ending of life and the transition to the afterlife (the last 'act', if you like). And then the second half focusses purely on the afterlife and the three possible destinations, heaven, hell or reincarnation.
Musically it's all over the place (in a good way) with flute solos weaving in and out of saxophone playing and dramatic orchestral sounds.

Jamie's fanboying on Tull is admirable
