The Mullet, Ireland Superthread

I'm sure we'll be overtaken eventually.

Screwtape, I'm curious if you ever spoke to the librarian again.

Feel free to ignore this inquiry if you'd rather not talk about it.

I have not. I am currently applying for a job there and I don't want to say something stupid. So I guess it is left to patience now.

 

[phanan]

Ah, ok. Good idea.

Besides, if you get a job there, you'll have plenty of opportunities for casual conversation.

 

[LemonMelon]

Just popping in to say that this location you guys chose is brilliant and I'm surprised it exists.

 

[Screwtape2]

Casual conversation, eh?

Librarian: "How was your day?"
Screwtape: "Marry me."

I'm joking of course.

I think with the genre introduction I going to stick with Youtube links as people are more likely to watch them than for me to send them something.

God Annie Haslem has a great voice.

I just realized that I know nothing about Gentle Giant and Rush.

 

[phanan]

So what's the best Renaissance album out there, anyway?

Tales of 1001 Nights Volume 1 & 2 are the best versions of their songs. Volume 1 is better of the two. I highly recommend it.

For Gentle Giant, check out Octopus. I don't listen to them a lot, but that's a good album.

As for Rush, well, where do you start? Early Rush is the most progressive, and the high point is 2112, in my opinion. But other albums have excellent longer compositions, too; one of my favorite epics from them is Xanadu.

Obviously, by the start of the 80's, they turned into more traditional rock, but they still had some progressive moments, like The Camera Eye from Moving Pictures.

The song that was on your Prog Island entry, The Black Flame, was terrific.

That's on Volume 1. I'm using them for my CD exchange playlist. It is one of the songs I'm using.

Okay, thanks. I'm not a fan of Rush so I may leave them off the prog introduction.

 

[Screwtape2]

Watching this first Gentle Giant video makes me feel like this would scare someone away from prog forever.

Take that off the list.

Yeah, they're not everyone's cup of tea, and I only like a few things from them myself.

Is this thread based on the town or the fact that a lot of idiots here have mullets?

 

[Screwtape2]

Okay so here are the songs I'm going to use Youtube for the prog introduction.

Focus 3/ Eruption by Focus (Live at The Rainbow)
Hocus Pocus by Focus (Live at The Rainbow)
Set Controls For The Heart Of The Sun by Pink Floyd (Live at Pompeii)
One Of These Days by Pink Floyd (Live at Pompeii)
Soon- Yes
The Musical Box- Genesis
I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) by Genesis
Carpet Of The Sun by Renaissance
Can You Understand by Renaissance
Warrior by Wishbone Ash
The Prophet’s Song by Queen
Death On Two Legs by Queen
Lady Fantasy by Camel
Sunburst Finish by Utopia

Am I missing anything?

Isn't it both?

 

[Irishteen]

Isn't it both?

Couldn't we just forget the fact a few thousand idiot teenage boys have the ugliest hairstyle in the world in Ireland?

An observation - I'd add one thing by King Crimson. They did, after all, start the genre, more or less.

Also, which youtube link do you plan on using for Soon?

 

[phillyfan26]

Afternoon.

Nah.

Afternoon.

Greetings.

So, me and a couple of my buddies are making a video as our fourth quarter exam. Last year we did one and it was fantastic, but we failed it due to inappropriateness. Now, three (including me) of the five from last year plus two new guys are creating a new movie. That'll be one the big focuses of my next month.

I'd give you all the link to our movie from last year, but then again it's probably not a good idea. Especially since my name is in the credits.

 

[Irishteen]

Nah.

WELCOME TO THE MULLET, IRELAND

I can't find any early live stuff by King Crimson. I want all the links to be live stuff.

I'm using this beautiful performance for Soon:

I was trying to figure out a way to fit Death on Two Legs into my DIV playlist. Hasn't worked so far.

So what exactly was the "inappropriateness" involved?
