Nah! No way Kevin. There are some great tracks but it's not as coherent as the first four albums.

Damon Albarn

"Everyday Robots"   (2014)    SP

Streaming | FLAC ripped CD 2 of 2

Marillion ~ Brave (1994)

 

Disc two to continue the story of the tragic suicide of a young woman. A very much underrated album IMO.

He changes his mind, on the greatest rock album as often as often as his hair style.

 

A couple of months ago he told me it was tago mago.

Great album Gianluigi.

 

Original vinyl. Revisiting some of Led Zep's later albums. There are some really good tracks on this album.

Agreed, Steve.  My order of preference would be II, I, III then a tie between IV and PG.

Some relaxing Eddie Reader to start the weekend.  Some lovely songs on this album, Dear John in particular.

Ah, but Tago Mago isn't really rock, is it? It's sui generis. It is however the greatest album ever made, period. But PG is the greatest rock album ever.

 

So there.

 

Anyway, what is a man if he can't change his mind capriciously?

Indeed - "Wearing and Tearing", one of the very last things they ever recorded, is also one of the best things they ever recorded. But there is some trash on it, like the godawful "Darlene".
