Simple Minds - Sparkle in the Rain. I hated it so much I actually took it back to the shop to swap for Eurhythmics- Touch. For some reason they let me do it! Then I spoke to my friend at school and he said he felt the same way before really giving it a listen. As a result of this I got it again and went through their back catalogue and they become my fave 80s band. This was their last great album though. I also have this album above in the original paper bag. .
@@StrangeDevice Their best album is called New Gold Dream from 1982. What stands out about them is an improvisational way of writing songs and some beautiful Bass lines by Mr Derek Forbes. After he left in 1984, they lost their way to commercialism.
I'll give it to Carouselambra and All of My Love. Carouselambra has so much energy and going through all the different sections is kind of a journey. All of My Love is just beautiful.
WTF....? How would you make a "greatest hits" style collection without "all of my love", "fool in the rain" and "in the evening".....? Plus it was their last record--- it's a snapshot of what they were doing at that time.......
I agree...... I bought the album as soon as it was released. Rolled a tight one, Stuck it on the record player and kicked back to study the album cover. I was very disappointed! What happened to my beloved Zeppelin? But as time went on I ended up loving this album. I still play it every now and then. By the way.............Rock n Roll is dead!
To quote Monty Python…. “I’m not dead yet!” Rock is still alive, but not so much in the mainstream shitshow of talentless auto tuned can’t write my own songs so called artists. Ya gotta dig to find it !!🎶🎶🎶🎶
Agreed!!! Fool in the Rain is One of the most difficult and intricate drum parts to play, ask any Drummer. And yes, Roberts ode to his son Karak in All Of my Love is a tearjerking ballad straight from his heart. RIP Karak
It's not "great". It's the last gasp of a dying dinosaur. Most of the album is based on keyboards, because Page was too strung out on heroin to be arsed to create anything.
1979 was the year of Of The Wall, Breakfast in America, Tusk, Joe's Garage, The Wall, Damn the Torpedoes. Except for a couple of tunes, the album, In Through the Out Door was a waste of vinyl and not worthy of Zeppelin's catalogue. IMHO.
@@keithbutler2222 Yep. That and “Heart of the Sunrise” (which is otherwise a great song) taught me the laziness of key changes to signify the end of a song. It’s like nobody could come up with a good ending so the band said, “Aw, fuck it, let’s just change the key.”
1. Garbage album by a creatively bankrupt band 2. Terrible video. There's no actual analysis here. it's just 2 and ahalf minutes of "AcKtCheWaLlY It'S gUd". 3. Nothing is worse than JPJ thinking he has any business behind any other instrument besides the bass. Every time he played keys is was pure cringe.

Thanks!! I need to explore Simple Minds. I only know the radio hits. Good call.

@@keithbutler2222 thank you I will check it out!!!

Agreed all around!! And yes, I will never master that halftime Purdue shuffle. Those ghost notes are incredible. Thanks for your comment!!!
Great video!
Thanks!!! I appreciate it!
I remember..dont forget behind the brown wrapper was one of three different album covers ....which one did u get?
Yes!! It was actually 6! Unfortunately, by the time I came of age and bought my copy, it was a CD…
Weird album... it has my favorite Led Zepplin song (Fool in the Rain) and my LEAST favorite Led Zepplin song (Hot Dog).
Great album, my 2nd favorite to Physical Graffiti.
I kept reading In through the out door was their last album but I thought coda was the last. ?
Sorry, but the album blew chunks...
So, it wasn't the last album they recorded , but the last album they "ever" recorded...
It was their worst album, and yet, it was good.

Wasn’t the wall 79 too?
Speaking of wastes of time… your comment definitely fits that criteria.
@@davidlaw689 I totally agree with @elmolewis1923's comment. Well except for including Breakfast In America.
Presence. the worst.
Nobody's fault but mine...great track
"All of My Love" is the worst Led Zeppelin song, ever. The rest of the album is fine, but that song … absolutely horrid, unlistenable shit.
Agrees with you. The gratuitous key change is way too cheesy

@@Rasputin443556 as much as I love John Paul jones his influence softens the sound too much on this album
@@keithbutler2222 Word. I love JPJ’s prog rock influence on Zep, but this is Led Zeppelin, not Genesis
Its crap dude, get over it.
Presence sucked
Presence kicked ass!
@@tomlangley6236 One okay song.
Wrong, sorry
