INTELLECTUAL ROCK: My Favorite Listening Music

Posted on 04/21/2019 6:36:15 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

My friends there is such a thing. It makes you want to listen closely to the lyrics. My examples would be Emerson, Lake, and Palmer "From the Beginning". Then there's Elton with "Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters." Yes-"I've Seen All Good People and Rod Stewart's "Gasoline Alley". It makes your ears work a bit but worth it. Funny how it's mostly 70's music.

No. Where can I find this stuff by Pete that you mention? Not to mention that now that you mention it Quadrophenia could be a misdiagnosis of melancholia.

Plenty of videos on YouTube of Pete’s demos. In a lot of cases I find I like Pete’s demos more than the finished product.

Damn shame that Steve and Peter couldn’t have reformed Humble Pie, they did some songs together before the tragic fire that killed him.

Yeah. I went and looked it up and just listened to Pete’s demo of Melancholia. So many familiar Townsend elements just in that one song. Thanks.

Now I will confess I was a huge Little River Band fan in high school. And to me, only the Glenn Shorrock version of the Little River Band counts.

“It’s a Long Way There” has some killer guitar work on it.

For What It’s Worth, Buffalo Springfield

When I was in high school the Buffalo Springfield was starting out playing clubs on Sunset Strip.

We used to cruise up to Hollyweird and hang out with a zillion of our closest friends. Wouldn't go to the clubs, just would mill around Hollywood. This annoyed the LAPD so the city council enacted a curfew, and the curfew was met with basically a teenager riot.

This is what this song was inspired by. The long forgotten Sunset Strip Riot. Not Vietnam, not antiwar protests, not anything important. It's about the LAPD stomping on a bunch of rowdy LA and OC punk teenagers.

Many good posts here! I’d add Uriah Heep / Ken Hensley, and, on occasion, Russ Ballard (who’s written for a LOT of people, as well as his own work.)

My first thought of course went to RUSH. Both the music and the lyrics are intellectual.

Bastille Day (1976, Live). Cliff notes on the French Revolution:

******************************

Xanadu, making Coleridge’s poetry available to the masses:

*********************

Natural Science:

“When the ebbing tide retreats
Along the rocky shoreline
It leaves a trail of tidal pools
In a short-lived galaxy
Each microcosmic planet
A complete society”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT1gmKUoqbY

*************************

“The Garden” (Rush’s wonderful swan song) draws from Voltaire’s Candide (their entire last album “Clockwork Angels” is loosely based on Candide, and Peart’s life experiences).

Can’t we keep him along with Itchycoo Park Steve Marriott is another one critically underrated.

True. I never thought of the Robert Plant angle but I think you're onto something.

Do you know there's a current radio show called London Calling? Has all British invasion to current British only songs and a few brief interviews and a little chat about the artists. Thanks to internet people can get it anywhere now.

Small Faces and Humble Pie often on show.
