new to me but your right there a under tone of the doors sounds

Brilliant, Jim! Two of my favorites from my youth right in a row, Uriah Heep and It's a Beautiful Day. Do you know Love's Forever Changes album? I highly recommend it.

I saw them live opening for Slade opening for Humble Pie in Las Vegas 1972. Frampton was gone by then.

Great album! Haven't know of it for very long, but I'm glad I found this groovy music! Jim, I knew you'd like it.

Not too many people talk about this album. I had this album as a teen in the late 70's and I played it all the time. There was just something about it that I liked, maybe it's that fantastic album cover? Or could it be the fiddle freak out that happens a little later on? I don't know but it sounded like a good album to put on after Surrealistic Pillow. I still listen to his every now and then. Love the whole album. I believe the band relocated from SF or LA up to Seattle and the meloncholia of White Bird was inspired by the dreary weather of the Pacific Northwest.

Hi Jim, You had money to spend I see. Several band names and some albums by them I recognize. I love Spock’s Beard but I don’t know this album.

I only know Beautiful day by U2. Very nice and very sixties music. Reminds me of the band The Collectors.

It's a long time since I've heard that. Not something I would listen to very often, but I enjoyed it all the same. It reminded me of Love, which isn't surprising.

Some music is meant to make people dance or feel some kind of way. Analyzing it in the context of music theory and technical music structure isn't always the point so there's that. Dance music as just one example, to someone who is an aficionado of creative music structure might sound obnoxious and droning but just sitting there listening to it isn't the point of the music and you can't use it credibly to judge the state of music today based on your subjective opinion of it. When you take a chart/list of top selling/listened to/downloaded music, chances are pretty good that a number of those songs fall into that category. Therefore using your subjective opinion of the music on that list to judge the general state of music that one might sit down and listen to today just doesn't work. It's true as you say that music is everywhere now. The record company/record store/radio station triad is no longer in control of music distribution the way it once was. As a result you have to look harder and in many more places. What you find when you do is governed by the odds of anything. More choices automatically means more good and bad on whatever scale you are using. In Rick's case making video after video after video about how that sucks or how it results in music he doesn't like doesn't help anyone. My point to him was let it go. Top ten charts on Spotify is a pointless place to look. What's popular can be determined by so many things that it's pointless to resist it. Rick is at his best when he picks something he feels is good, shares it with people and explains why he thinks it's good. If there isn't enough time in the day to find it all he has a boatload of subscribers who I'm sure would love to share what they think is good and he would have material that could be had for decades to come. Longer then he would even want to do this.

You need to react to Grand Funk song Gimmie Shelter you be surprised to how good they do it

Both groups exchange material when Dp heard this do this and made it until a rock athem

This group was last group out of Woodstock 69 lost in coin flip

Sly was my first ever concert.

To praise Pink Floyd 1972-80 is really missing the boat. Pre 1972 Floyd is every bit as awesome.

Another West Coast band you need to hear are Peanut Butter Conspiracy (don’t be put off by the name). They also had the female/male singing thing and ‘floaty’ vibes, with optimistic messages. Lovely stuff.

Talking of things white, you should hear The White Ship by HP Lovecraft 🤔

Probably not still going now actually, as violinist, singer, leader David La Flamme passed away recently 🤔

You definitely need to listen to Pale Folklore, its theirs 1st album and its absolutely outstanding. Probably most atmospheric one. You will love it.

Good song, good album,let's have more.

This song is an emotional Rollercoaster... l weep every time l listen to it.. l now consider it my favorite. The build up, the complete circle and feelings that are being poured out, grabs my heart..

Great album, sublime song

❤

Hate to say I told you so.....😊

Sometimes one sentence is enough as comment : lots of great new records in your collection 🤘

There is an excellent Amorphis gig from rockaplast from 2024 on RUclips if anyone wants to see them in full flow. Amazing

I'm really not sad, when someone takes a song off my long, long list. And if it's part of a mixtape, I simply replace it by another one. White Bird is my favourite song of IABD, I love the singing, I love the violin. I've had the LP since 1981 and still listen to it frequently 🤘

Good album, well worth listening to. "White Bird" was in the rotation on all the classic rock stations of the seventies. "Hot Summer Day" is a favorite from the album.

Ah! IABD's response to The Beatles' Dis track, Blackbird! (Little known fact that, or maybe I just made it up!) This is quintessential 1967 San Francisco (it was written in 1967 though only released in 1969. Blackbird was from 1968.) and, despite the hippy-drippiness, is a great song made even more special by the violin. I would be interested to hear more from them.

Nice bunch of newbies there - Omnium Gatherum is my fave of the last few. Sketches has to be my least fave Gizzard album...the production for once😢 is let down for me with the much overused symbols. Really want the dinosaur one but there's no cd release!! Oh yeah Queen of Time is maybe My third fave Amorphis. Glad you got some Candlemass - that one is my 2nd fave by them. Good choices Jim!👍 I've been eyeing up Green Lung for ages! Nice. My cd haul this year so far includes.... Gravity Stairs - Crowded House Dreamers Are Waiting - Crowded House The Prelude Implicit - Kansas Dawdswiark - Horn Sleep Blanket - Broadcast Mother Is The Milky Way - Broadcast The Mandrake Project - Bruce Dickinson Invincible Shield - Judas Priest Dream Talk - Still Corners Faith - The Cure 4 Blind Guardian CDs 3 Uriah Heep cds Sky Forger - Amorphis And In The Darkness Hearts Aglow - Weyes Blood Astral Fortress and It Beckons Us All by Darkthrone Captain Fantastic and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John (got those two after listening with you good sir🤝) I want to send you a certain vinyl to play Jim but it's really hard to get at moment so I'm playing the patient game... Great stuff!

What a classic. Beautiful! Very Peter, Paul, and Mary-ish.

Multiple people requesting Ihsahn??

I know this song very well, it was played alot on radio in my area/stations.

Still no ihsahn - after. 🥲🥹🥹

Sly/Stone was a backdrop of my youth. (Everyday People)(Hot Fun In The Summertime)

This album can’t be overstated. Period.

Excellent album, superb musicianship and recording✨ and still going strong👍 Also worth noting between 1970-1972 this was their 5th studio album, outstanding!

Loved your reaction to the album Asymmetry, saw you also have a vinyl of Sound Awake too - guarantee you'll love it, would love to see you reaction to it! My #1 album all-time

Heep forever ❤❤❤ Thank you Mr. Jim 🇺🇲🎸

This album and Close to the Edge by YES came out within a month of each other. I probably bought them both at the same time at our small town local record store. This era of music was the greatest ever!🤩

Diminishing returns.

This album came out when I was in high school and the acid was very clean. I'm 70 now and still have fun listening to it...More Kazoo !!!

Ken Hensley: The saddest thing about this album is that management brought the release date forward... They didn´t give me time. I was writing a short story called 'The Magician´s Birthday' and the title track was the core song from which all the others spread out to paint the complete picture. It would have been so cool, but they took away my time and I consider this album to be less than 60% of what it could have been... I didn't really finish writing it. So, it's not complete for me.

Rick tends to simplify things imo, NOTE MY OPINION, The Beatles are a group he holds up in high regard, quite rightly, however none of them could read music. Nor for that matter could Bob Dylan, Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer or Stevie Wonder, amongst many other famous musicians. Also The Beatles had a "fifth Beatle" in George Martin which he conveniently overlooked in a previous video. Back in the 70's (my decade) we had music "factories" producing singles much like we do now. Things haven't changed that much just the ease to make music.

Bought this and demons and wizards on original UK pressing vinyl today off a bloke in my town......blinding.

A Bee couldn't convince a fly that honey was better than shit.

Love your thinking on this. Here was my response to Rick: I have been playing music since 1965, learning dozens of instruments, and synthesizers, and programs and such, and the new AI tools are simply the best of the composer's and songwriter's helpers to have ever been available. And as always, pioneering spirits will devour them for all they are worth. Finally a way out of the pathetic echolalia that is the current state of music from the snail world. Such beautiful music being created now at long last, and in every genre and language. Same goes for art. Check back in 50 years.

Bedankt

Oh dear, it's the 'There is good music, you just have to look for it' argument. Ok, let's deal with this once and for all. When someone says music is terrible nowadays, it's implied in the statement that you are talking about the music that is promoted, played on the radio, the music you have easiest access to. Or maybe I'm wrong - maybe you, and others making this silly argument, require a statement to mention every detail so that nothing is implied? Sure the statement will be 400 words long, but we can't have you being in any confusion, can we? Therefore, so long as you can imply what the statement is referring to, when you say that ridiculous 'look for it' statement, congratulations, you are agreeing that music now is terrible. If this is unclear, let's try it this way. Nobody is saying that isn't another Lennon and McCartney changing the face of music right now in their basement. The point you are missing is that they cannot get out of the basement because the promoters, radio, record company etc is insisting on drivel. That is, in the past you didn't have to look for it - good music was in your face, recognised as good, promoted, on the radio etc. Get it? Did some geniuses in the past slip through without getting the attention they deserved? Sure. But let's compare that with an industry today that literally wants to promote mediocrity. TLDR - I shouldn't have to look for it🙄 Ok, next point - 'just because it's easier, doesn't mean it's bad'. Oh dear. The statement that music is bad now is, again an implication of a general state of affairs. Generally, if something is easier to do, less effort goes in to making it good. There is no point in highlighting a few examples where a modern day musician had it easy but got lucky and produced a good song - most haven't. In fact, if easy methods have no effect on music quality, then there should be millions of brilliant songs now since so many people have access to create music now. Unfortunately, most of it is drivel, because easiness creates laziness. And then, just like clockwork, the next silly argument comes through - 'yes, there's rubbish now, but there was rubbish then also' 🙄. Ok, this is an easy one. Was there rubbish then as there is now? Yes. So, all I need to hear from you now is the non-rubbish from modern music. That means, I just need a the Beatles, Pink Floyd, David Bowie for modern times? Now, of course, many more could be mentioned but let's give you the best chance possible. This does not mean mention your favourite band or popular artist. No, you need to name three artists (not artists that I have to look for, see above) that changed culture, experimented with the pop music formula, introduced new techniques into their work, continually changed and matured throughout their career - in summary, remained different enough to obtain both critical and commercial success.

Hi Jim, This is the music that I grew up with in my teenage years. Loved that music decade. There’s a mixtape coming in the near future with more seventies music (no prog rock this time) that also influenced my music taste a lot. You received €44.5 now as donation. I can’t get it with Thank you by Google to €45.
