Peter Gabriel, "Shaking the Tree"

Thanks CV, I like it too!

The Good Natured today. Both EPs.

Tanks. I found my next avatar der.

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and guess you're lifting Digital Geek's avatar.

Well, yes. Can't imagine how you knew that.

Tonite I'm listening to Crazy by Gnarles Barkley..It such a kick-ass song

Tales from Topographic Oceans (Yes) - it's one of those albums you can enjoy for a variety of reasons :

- some truly wonderful music (an odd combination of intricate and catchy)

- listening to the absence of keyboards makes it all too easy to imagine a very pissed-off Rick Wakeman hanging out in the next studio playing darts with the guys from Black Sabbath (which I find really amusing for some reason)

- a great collection of understated quotes on the internet, eg Chris Squire 25 years later commenting that "it does go on a bit..."

Y'know, after listening to all 4 sides it *does* "go on a bit". I guess I really liked the first side but never sat through the whole (double) album before. It's one of the few Yes albums I didn't buy on vinyl and so only really heard on a CD changer (where one can wander off after the first side and not notice).

Trespass (Genesis) was next up in the changer. I always assumed the second song was the title track, but apparently it's been called "White Mountain" for 40-odd years. Go figure.

It does go on a bit. I really like yes, but tales from topographic oceans is a little over the top for me.
