"Back door, huh? Good idea". Come on, people, no one thought of this one? Can't do all your wok for you.
My own favorite.

My favorite parts of the irregular ELP repertoire were always when Lake's voice came in. In the early 70's, he could bring the mellow and the fury with a tone that matched the best vocalists in rock. And many of his early acoustic guitar sections had that English magic about them. Was lucky enough to see him down here

And as good as side one is, the journey that is "The Ninth Wave" I find fascinating as well; you have to forgive a few moments where attention may drift, but the development of that simple idea into many different songs with different perspectives on that simple situation, is a demonstration of talent that compliments

Well, those two are both from her third album, "Never Forever", which is where she discovered the Fairlight synth (thanks to her guesting in Peter Gabriel's III) and began to move away from her first childhood compositions and to follow her weird muse in a more mature way. So, it's early, but more transitional, and

My avatar is named after the famous guerrilla leader: Che Stadium

That's all I'm waiting to see when I go see it

I remember the surprise as a young, smug musician when I read Brian Eno's brilliant and necessary statement: "Musicians have got it all wrong. They think that what people hear are notes. But what people really hear are impressions." When you understand that, you realize that timbre, interpretation, groove, are just as

And the accompanying piano does all kinds of wonderful stuff, including a note that doesn't belong in the western scale when it changes to E ("I don't mind / I could wait forever"), but that adds a weirdness that raises the interest level several times. And the vocal arrangements, which were at their peak in that

Late to the discussion as I only just finished it, but I am pretty disappointed in the resolution of what was until then a pretty smartly written show. I know that people doing stupid things that put them needlessly in danger is an 80's and genre trope, but that doesn't excuse the sloppy writing that makes these

Some of them just gate.

"Ooooh woooh, when love must die-ay". Only Queen at their most ridiculously epic could do service to the massive feelings involved in that scene. It could have failed tremendously, but it still blows me away with emotion

Well, a good explanation for that could be that its payoff has to be one of the worst big revelations of the decade. "I can understand what they're all thinking" - man, if I'd lived through centuries and fought off the Kurgan just to have everybody's inane thoughts in my head - I would chop my own head off. So that's

We did it all for the clickbait! The clickbait! So you can take that poster username and use it with pizzazz, use it with pizzazz, use it with pizzazz!!

I had this film duplicated and watched it at home a gazillion times. When I finally made it to Central Park, the little bridge over the Pond was undoubtedly the bridge of "This'll put some hair on your chest".
I have been surprised at how much one scene has stayed with me: when Heather is dying, and she says, "I

Ryder? I didn't e' Winon'er! (Thought this was worth a shot, almost obligatory - just doesn't look as good when written)

Really? I remember at least the ones like "Seven, "My Name is Prince", "All that glitters ain't gold", and I think "Get off" and "Sexy motherfucker" count as early 90's as well

Sha Na Na Na too, right? Or was that later? Anyway, it was the beginning of boomes' nostalgia for their formative years. It has happened ever since - a decade comes back into fashion some twenty years after it finished. 70 - 20 = 50's

Jerry Lee Lewis is still with us, and they showed 'him' playing Breathless

A winner! Why didn't anyone else in this pop-culture-savvy website remember this line? It's total serendipity!

Well, I like his weird compositions, including the very original "Deja Vu". Of course, I welcome them because they are surrounded by more classically rounded songs, but I'll take his contributions over Nash's soft pap any day
