I'm talking on average. There's an awful lot of "I digs" with the qualifier of liking the "early stuff" or "before the LP" when you see such threads arise on The List. I'm guilty of this myself. I say EVERY band that's been together a year or so has at least one LP's worth of good stuff (say 12-14 songs with 1/2 being originals and the other 1/2 being covers that they've mutated into originals...)

Joan Baez, Diamond and Rust era with shoulder length hair, yeah, but not now. Joni Mitchell? Alex and I could tag team her and get all the neuroses out of her system. Judas Priest actually covers Diamonds and Rust (!). Joan Armatrading? Only if she has nice feet. Maybe theyll sing on my solo LP, MJ and the Fabulous Facials Sing Songs About Love.

Come on! You don't have to be ashamed! >> Well, I used the wrong term, maybe. Not a bit ashamed! You did have to laugh off the Meltzer/Pearlman lyrics to some extent, but those first three LPs (especially "Tyranny & Mutation") are just some of the best stuff EVER. They used to play very frequently in NYC at the "Academy Of Music", (later the "Palladium") on 14th Street. Saw 'em there several times. They were fabulous. And it's quite correct to opine that without those 3 albums, we would never have had Radio Birdman.......at least not in the form it took. Radios DISappear!

Nowicki" Subject: Re: Lyres fill in the blanks "Pain" is by Arizona's own Phil and the Frantics, the flip to the Rabbitt pressing of "I Must Run." It's also on Bacchus Archives' Phil and the Frantics CD compilation (recently reissued in Spain as a nifty vinyl 10-inch record). "If You Want My Love" is probably the Nightcrawlers' song, but I'm too unfamiliar with the Lyres catalog to hazard guesses about the others. Dan N.

I used to torture my guitar player from my first band with that riff. "Got mashed potatoes / Ain't Got No T-Bone" That's all the lyrics for about 6-8 minutes or so. Also Shots was great. It was once played on Heavy Metal From Hell on WBCN! Southern Pacific got airplay in Boston. That's what made me buy the album. I remember an article about Neil in Record Colector (I think) and it charted Neil's albums in terms of popularity with his fans. His career had a ton of ups and downs. The interesting thing about Reactor was that many thought it sucked, while many others thought it was genius!

He and I have, however, disagreed in the past (at length) over which Queen Era was the most sublime........Weiss favors the "News Of The World" time, specifically the song "Sheer Heart Attack", and frankly that's about where I was getting OFF the bus.......I love the hippy-drippy songs on "Queen II" and especially the killer rockers on the LP "Sheer....."......for God's sake, if "Stone Cold Crazy" and "Now I'm Here" don't move you, you can't really be listening past all the baggage...... And, about that baggage: Jon is quite correct in affirming that the whole airy-fairy-opera thing was a big joke that most of us just didn't get. I mean, Freddy DID put out a solo record under the name "Larry Lurex"........BEFORE Queen hit big. Also, I saw them in January of 1976......literally one week after "Night At The Opera" came out, so "Bo***ian Rh***ody" wasn't a big deal yet (thank goodness)......they really were a lot of fun, and taking the piss out of themselves quite frequently throughout the show.......the encore was a vampy cover of "Hey Big Spender" segueing into a frenetic double-time "Be-Bop-A-Lula"......at warp speed.....played just exactly the way the British punks would have played it MANY MANY MONTHS later.......Freddy was wearing a bathrobe and Roger was wearing one of those multicolored George Clinton wigs. I have pictures! This is NOT a band taking itself too seriously! This made it all the more upsetting for me when they put out crap like "We Are The Champions", "We Will Rock You" and "Radio GaGa." They really did seem bloated and irrelevant by then. Or maybe that was ANOTHER joke that we didn't get. Oh well, "Keep Y'self Alive!"

Yeah, sort of. That reminded me that I am moving to the UK... is there a kind soul out there that can suggest me some British job search web sites? Any tips about looking for a flat in London would be also very much appreciated... This was personal, sorry!
