(at least up to Love beach  )
That being said....
I don't think I could say it any better than Ted about Pirates. It's very exhilirating to me. Well done!
Tarkus is a close second. It's a perfect piece, and it's got everything.
Agreed % with Dot about the lyrical message in "The Only Way".
Some other ones I dig are Hallowed Be thy Name and Knife Edge.
Everyone has said some great ones! |
Rick - you are right! I wasn't being used
But I was curious.
Along with enjoying Pirates.... I also like "Memoirs of An Officer and A Gentleman." It tells a good story. The music again has lots of variety in it, and as Dot said, they play together well. This on an album that most everyone hates. This one song is worth getting the album for.
I appreciate everyone participating in the discussion. It has been very 'educational'
seeing everyone's response. From Dot - saying "he is feeling it in his gut
along with Peter - breaking down the song the way that is analyzing it
