choo1choo Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Accompanying the gallons of 50/50pva splashing round my new layout...Paul Weller..Wildwood. Forgotten what a great album that is. Can't believe it's over 20 years old. Mind you can't believe I'm over ** years old either! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it on cassette first, then vinyl, then CD. I've still never tired of it. In fact, I've been trying to learn the intro to Reelin' in the Years lately. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) I came into Steely Dan via a different path. Dad had Greatest Hits LP which included a bonus 12" with Rikki, Reeling In The Years etc. But it was my love of Eye Know by De La Soul that led me to Peg which is right up there in my favourite songs. Spotify leads me to believe Steely were purposely a well crafted studio affair, so tales of live performances are surprising. C6T.

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted November 14, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 14, 2019 I saw them live twice in the 1990s-2000s. The first tour was before any new material had been released and they did a song called "Cash Only Island" which sounded great but never reappeared on the subsequent albums. It's interesting to hear how people came to their music. For me it was hearing the Billie Jean/Do it Again mash-up on the radio around 1984: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefrk Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 After hearing the track 'In the Court of the Crimson King' by King Crimson on Planet Rock radio recently I went looking for the old tape I had from a friends album done many years ago, no joy so I bought the remastered CD.... wow, took me back nearly fifty years. Greg Lake RIP singing 'Epitaph' on the album is just as relevent these days as it was in 1969. Knowledge is a deadly friend If no one sets the rules. The fate of all mankind I see Is in the hands of fools. Dave. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted December 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2019 I was given In the Court ... by my mum on my 17th birthday, as a double gatefold album with Lark's Tongue's in Aspic as the other disc. Prior to that week I'd never even heard of King Crimson, but by a total coincidence a mate had given me a tape to listen to ... and I was hooked. I'm with you on Epitaph; still blows me away now. I bought the CD later, then the remastered one... but more recently I've gone back to my vinyl copy, just for the fun of putting it on the platter. In the Court is used quite effectively in the film Children of Men: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted December 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Moon child always floated my boat - but as for Epitaph,,, The wall on which the prophets wrote... Is cracking at the seams.... Hang on - can see that on a model railway.... And used to terrify my little brother with the album sleeve picture!

Clive Owen's performance, the laissez faire attitude of his character to what is happening around him at the start and his progressive realisation some things are really important is excellent. Also its obvious parallels to certain current attitudes to immigration are frighteningly real. I don't think a film captivated me in the same way since viewing The Day The Earth Caught Fire, another oft overlooked British film masterpiece. I digress, back to the music, C6T. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what you mean about the Bee Gees but was poignant seeing Robin Gibb again - and Livvy was in the audience.....!!!! With you on Mrs Browns boys too.... and I have the same issue with SWMBO here, I get accused of putting a war film on every time she leaves the room. Well, The Longest Day is a classic....
