Waiting to be born so i could hear the album.



Glad you have good taste.

I was in college. One of my mates bought it on the first day, and we all sat around listening over and over, because we'd never heard anything like it before.

There's still good music being made today... even tho' the corporate big wigs (x-factor turds etc..) are flooding the airwaves with their contrived shite...

Even the Beetles tribute band (Oasis, I think that they're called:P) have been known to kick out some good tunes.

Yea but taking the whole rock and roll attitude too far pisses me off about them, I prefere their B side stuff with just Noel doing acoustic.

Cast No Shadow comes to mind as one example of a great song of his.

I saw on the other thread you used to listen to another great band, i'd love to be able to say something like that.

Bands like these dont come around often.



Ha! CREAM played at my college end-of-year ball, 1967.:P

The '60s were a good time to be a student in England.

I wasn't even a twinkle in either my mother's or father's eye yet. B| In fact, they weren't even together at that time.

I will tell you that on my LONG drive back from Phoenix this past week, I did pop in that CD. :)

Well, actually it was forty years ago Friday.

Sargeant Pepper taught the band to play.

What were you doing?



I was in the 6th grade and thinking The Beatles had gone to hell on LSD and looked like a bunch of hippie wierdos. Besides, there were The Monkees. But by Xmastime I had got it all sorted out when we got Magical Mystery Tour under the tree. Still not sure how much I like Sgt Pepper's, as important an album as it was, it was by no means their best. The "white album" was better, Abbey Road even better, and "Revolver" is, was, and always will be their very best ('cuz they're really gone totally to hell on LSD making that one).

Give him a break -- he was only 11 or 12. Sixth graders are not known for their intelligence or their taste but rather for the lack of both faculties.;)

Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
