Lost/Forgotten Album #11

[Jon]

 

 

 

After last week's pick (which nobody liked, damn them all!) I sat in my cell trying to figure a way to get bck in everyone's good graces. Luckily, during my daily time in the yard, I had an ephiphany...why not feature a well-known band this week? All signs pointed to "YES" on that. Next thing was to pick what band and what album and I came up with this one:

 

Supertramp, "Brother Where You Bound", released in 1985.

 

When "Breakfast In America" came out, I absolutely loathed Supertramp. Couldn't stand any songs on the radio and they were a bunch from that album getting significant airplay. A year later, thelive album "Paris" came out and the song "Dreamer" was played a bunch on the radio, and I liked it.

 

So I revisited Supertramp, and found that I liked "Breakfast...", so I picked up more of their stuff and found that "Crime Of The Century" is a fantastic album. So I was sold.

 

1982 came the release of "...famous last words.." and I hated that album. Hated that song about rain, and still do, because it seemed silly and stupid. Luckily I still had "Crime.." and "Breakfast.." to fall back on

 

Come 1985, I was in a record store and saw this album. I figured what the hell, couldn't be any worse then their last album so I stole it and ran home to give it a listen. And listen I did, for a couple weeks straight since it is that good.

 

Sans Roger Hodgson who had left the group, this is prog rock. Even features David Gilmour on the title track, a whopping 16+ minutes. Good stuff I say! And that's the last new Supertramp release I bought since this didn't sell particularly well and, even though there were some more new albums, you just didn't hear about them too much.

 

Oh wait, I lied. I picked up "Some Things Never Change" when it came out in 1997, and didn't like it.

MSoTW #11 is "One small step" with Ayreon, but...................I may have "cheated" in your book. I Googled it!!

Else, I would'nt have a clue!! This was a tough one, Jon!!!

[Scott]

never heard of them....

[TageRyche]

I have heard of Ayreon....just not into them.

[Jon]

I guess that's cheating? Don't know, will have to consult the rule book.

[Niels (Mod)]

If it aint cheating, you better find "songs" with no lyrics, or else I'm gonna find them (I think?) on Yahoo.com (That's not "googled it", I guess I "Yahood it"!!)

[RJhog (Admin)]

Let the Commisioner speak:

"it's cheating"

[Jon]
