New Album Review of Yesterwynde Nightwish
Here's my ranking 13 what's runk 12 good singing good playing 11 grand funk lives 10 all the girls in the world beware 9 e plours 8 shining on 7 born to die 6 phoenix 5 survival 4 on time 3 the red album 2 we're a American band 1 closer to home
Any time someone has a huge Hit, the next one will almost always be disappointing even if it charts high. The Who's I Can See for Miles followed by Call Me Lightning. Won't Get Fooled Again followed by Let's See Action.
Thanks, Iain! I've enjoyed taking this journey with you thru Bob's career, even when it covered albums I don't really care for. What is your favorite Dylan album of them all then? For me, it's still 'Blonde On Blonde".
Потрясающий ударник
My favorite Queen album, first one I ever got. Recommended in Creem magazine ask for it for Christmas. Secret Treaties by Bblue oyster cult, too
its mine too
Zoolook will always be my number1 JMJ album! love the grand scale of it
A very clever and groundbreaking album
There are loads guys , the sort of records that get to nearly no1 and the next single falls off the cliff ! Good subject guys !
I live near the Wash
Great topic and vid, gents! Enjoyable viewing, as always! Thanks.
Happy Birthday, Joe!
Happy Birthday Joe
Some good albums Iain. Would love to get that Ultravox album.
Almost perfect ranking for me I’d swap Misplaced Childhood and Afraid of Sunlight 👍 Remembering that any “ok” album by Marillion is on anyone else’s excellent level 😂
Will you rank Virgin Steele? My favorite band!
I will get them added to the list its takes a while for them to get to the but they will be ranked
17 studio albums aded to the list
great review - but not a patch on Propaganda
For a prefect side they are either a request or I just go through mt collection pick one at ramdom.
Indeed, that was a good discussion. I'm ready with the "girls' names" entry for next week, fellas, and this time I have visuals!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just finished watching last nights stream....very interesting conversation with regards to greatest hits albums etc... 👍👍👍
My selections are ready and waiting but I'm babysitting again and it all depends on how quickly I can get her settled and sleeping 👍👍👍
Thanks for the review, Iain! The first half of the title track reminds me more of AC/DC than Nektar. The instrumental second half is excellent though. "Long Lost" and "One Day" are very solid with "One Day" being my favorite. A good but not a great album for me.
Hi Iain, I've been away all week so just catching up. I hope you had a good one
If you haven't listened to it already, you should give Feast On Scraps a listen! It wasn't marketed as a studio album but has 8 fantastic new tracks and a beautiful acoustic version of Hands Clean!
I have got Feast on Scraps myself
Iain I’m seeing seeing stupid vids online and I just want to say you’re about the most dignified person in the vc.. You want to discuss music and that’s it..well done sir
Thank you, Martin, I really appreciate your kind words
@@Iainrankingtheobscure you’re welcome Iain very few one here can say they don’t participate in the nonsense, u can
I love Praying Mantis! They show that Heavy Metal can be more melodic and catchy! My problem with bands like Metal Church and Manilla Road is that they crossover into Thrash, I love Thrash but not mixed with Heavy Metal. But these guys mix Thin Lizzy, Uriah Heep and Rainbow with the heaviness of Iron Maiden. Superb band! Love them! Great album arts and mascot too!
Killer Album 🤘🤘🤘Love it.
Thanks for Ranking this Iain, I need to re-listen as it did nothing for me at the first listen !
Looks good. Best of luck to all.
Vote for we’re an American 🇺🇸 band by far the best of the four songs!
Great Concert, i have the 2CD Edition !
I thought Wet Willie was something you got from strange women in Leeds pubs !!! 😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because this has premiered early the voting is open NOW
Thank You for all your messages and ever support
1. The Pleasure Principle 2. Dance 3. Replicas 4. Telekon 5. Tubeway Army debut 6. I, Assassin 7. Berserker 8. Pure 9. Sacrifice 10. Splinter (Songs From a Broken Mind)
This seems like a really cool channel I look forward to checking it out! If you're looking for a semi obscure band I would love to see an analysis of the Radio Dept., they really only have one album that people talk about and I think they are an interesting band.
I will add them to the list
added to the laundry list - The Radio Dept. 0/4+1
Wishing you a Very Happy Birthday, Iain!! Hope you enjoy your special day!
Thanks Gary
I love Deerhoof!!!!!
Happy birthday Iain 🎉. I hope you have a great day! 🎂🍻🍻🍻
Thank you Mick
Great Video Iain, And kudos for actually listening to the entire catalogue and not getting any brain damage !!! I agree most of their albums are half masterpieces / half throw-aways. Nice to see Mountain Moves so high up in the ranking Also a bit suprised you enjoed their more commercial stuff !!! Cheers !!!
Swans to come lol
@@Iainrankingtheobscure Again a band with a VERY diverse catalogue. It took me years to enjoy those early albums (1982-1985) I hope "Soundtrack for the Blind" "To be Kind" and "The Great Annahillator" are way up in your list !!!!!!
Happy Birthday mate. Have a good one🎂🍺🍺
Thanks Mate The deck is back !!!!
Hi Iain, i did post on your timeline on FB and my internet dropped out so not sure if it went through at the time. anyway, have a great birthday mate - from the 'land down under'
Thank you Lloyd
Happy Birthday to the UK Professor of Prog
Thank You Charles
I wasn't too familiar with this album or Sparks in general. I gave the album a full listen - a very unique sound indeed. My two favorite tracks are Amateur Hour and Falling In Love With Myself again so based on just one listen so far, I agree with Side 1 also. Thanks Iain for the introduction!
no grandad ?
Hope it's awful
Hi Iain, the best thing about the Christmas album is that we hear Dylan singing "ho ho ho", who would ever have thought LOL a terrible album IMO but it does have novelty value. and i agree with your favourite album here - Lloyd
Hi Iain- Sparks are soooo interesting! They get LOTS of praise, have a HUGE discography but their stuff is a bit hard to find in the wild (at least I don't see them very often). I only have 'Whomp that Sucker' and 'Pulling Rabbits Out of a Hat'... I really need to hunt down Kimono and Propaganda, which, to be honest, I've wanted for years!
Coin for the ferryman and maybe must be nice... Those are my favourites
Thank you Iain for doing this. Cheers to everyone for the birthday wishes.
Not a problem Jason
My best friend bought the debut Nazz album when it was first released and we used to listen to it together at his place all the time. Love "Open My Eyes", "Hello It's Me", "When I Get My Plane", "She's Going Down" etc. Nazz Nazz is very good too but for me it doesn't surpass the memories and great sounds of the debut. Thanks Iain!
Spot on Iain. Great album and agree that side 1 is truly a perfect side.
Totally agree with everything you said, and the followup was just as impressive for me!
Its a great album full stop pity I had pick one side lol
Happy Birthday, Jason. Hope you have a great day!
