Prog Spring

I do like the title of this article:

Rick Wakeman, Yes, and the insane excess that doomed prog.

It explains a lot, without even having to read the article - and that's before his concerts on ice.

mmmmmmmmmm.....

Dammit! I just shelled out for the remaster of Seconds Out...

Thanks for the tip though. Between that and the PF box set I have a lot of ripping to do! {#Crashcomp}

I haven't heard the whole thing but the samples sound like the same band that made the first two albums.

THANKS for posting this. I had no idea! Love the cover art!

Oops, didn't mean that to sound harsh. The samples on Wooz's link sounded worthy. PM me an addie and I'll send you some.

That's OK... I'll stick with my orchestrated versions of the Rolling Stones my brother gave me for my b-day...

(I really like the original Moody Blues... it was one of my teen joys to listen in the dark with my girlfriends... I'm afraid I cannot deal...)

Oh, yeah! Moody Banjoes.

My 16 year old has become interested in The Moody Blues (I play them all the time). She thinks the old pic I posted today of Justin Hayward is "yummy!".

Your 16 year old has taste. Took me a while to appreciate them, but it was my kids, 45 and 42, who introduced me to them.

(And the 42 year old is finally beginning to appreciate bluegrass)

I'm a big fan of their first album. Their second got a little bit too poppy, and then it went rapidly downhill from there. But I was really excited to hear that the original members had reunited and were recording something new.

The bits I've heard (just the samples on iTunes) are uneven, IMO: sounds like some good stuff and some stinky cheese (and not in a good way). I'm scared to buy it because I'd just hate to be bitterly disappointed again.

My thoughts exactly.
