    yeah I was at the gym and didn't want to check.

    After Midnight (and Way After Midnight) are my latest JGB acquisitions. You catch my drift as far as the vibe Oven Mitts McDougal is trying to hit ?

    One of the reasons I like the band is because of those keyboard tones.

    Listened to this pair last night while typing away about something
    completely different, but I love these guys. While not the best WR,
    there are some nice workouts here; Di Meola is a beast on guitar
    and both artists have been a big favorites since the 70's.

    With either or both of the studio albums Workingman's Dead and/or American Beauty. Two core albums from their discography that contain songs which became live staples over the many years of touring. Great sonics, too.

    Welcome aboard!

    Beefheart all day. Mostly stuff I've already logged, plus Doc at the Radar Station and Hoboism. The latter is a great odds and ends collection of outtakes and live stuff (I think it's a bootleg but I'm not sure and too lazy to look it up).

    I've always loved it but I don't think I really realized what a masterwork DATRS is until today; it is a vicious, awesome, tour de force of vicious awesomeness. My god. Not even the best song on here, but I had forgotten all about "Brickbats" and it is a masterwork all on its own. Add in songs like "Dirty Blue Gene" (one of his best ever!), Sue Egypt, Making Love to a Vampire...crap, I should just name the whole album. Or, as RNE resorted to this I'll just paste it here:

    masterpiece
    noun
    mas·ter·piece | \ˈmas-tər-ˌpēs \
    1 : a work done with extraordinary skill especially : a supreme intellectual or artistic achievement

    The closing trilogy of Beefheart's career is impeccable (although give me Bat Chain Puller over Shiny Beast, or call it a quadrilogy if that's the right word). But Doc at the Radar Station is by a long distance the best of the lot.

    Also the 1978 live I'm Gonna Do What I Wanna Do.

    I probably logged these already but just to be sure, this time back with Beefheart I have so far spun:

    Safe as Milk
    Strictly Personal
    Mirror Man Sessions
    TMR
    Lick My Decals Off, Baby
    The Spotlight Kid
    Clear Spot
    DATRS
    Shiny Beast
    I'm Gonna etc.
    Hoboism

    I am going to hit the rest of course (yes, even the "tragic band" albums). And I haven't heard the last of those listed above. Oh, no.

    I came upon Led Zep's heavyweight status quite by accident today,
    while perusing cyberspace looking for something completely different.
    The article named their most famous songs, a puffery piece as it is easy
    to pick best songs, but it did name Immigrant Song as number one.
    I got interested strictly because of the surprise, and secondly, because
    LZ III has been my favorite of their catalog for decades. It has always
    had the power, subtle thought it might have been, compared with the
    first two barnstorming rocking-blues buzzbombs, but it also had the flow.
    The fluidity of III is its magic, like a conversation with a long lost friend.

    In 1970 the songs had a some swing, a style, threw some curve balls, but
    it also carried confident kindred spirit. Hangman blew me away during
    the first needle drop. I was 16. It was timeless and my young soul was
    trying to grasp and understand it all, but unbeknownst to me I already had.
    It made an impression like no other Zeppelin did. I'm listening to it as I
    speaktype, and it is a timeless statement of creativity and brilliance.
    The confusion upon it's release and afterwards was as confusing to me
    as it was others who considered it to be their masterstroke. The song
    placement making up and building side one and side two is perhaps its
    greatest achievement. If Pagey had a big hand in this, as he undoubtedly
    did, thank you.
