1. Chris A., Chris C., Ryan and Sydney plus Jaime Laslo and Craig Kaminsky in the house. (Apologies if I spelled the guests names wrong)
2. "I got the Chris Alo thing going on"
3. "...there are two separate assholes who are playing flute and recorder"
4. "There is a whole orchestra of shit on this song"
5. "It's a symphonic sack of shit"
6. "It feels like it's six months long"

28. Wow! A Shout out to me from Pete. The answer to your question: I only watch the show once, but I pause and rewind often as I take down notes. An hour show will take me about an hour and a half to watch. 2 hour shows are brutal now that I am back working...but I can't let you down, lol.
As for the topic:
1. The only song by Led Zeppelin that I never cared for was "The Battle Of Evermore" 2. The Exodus song I do not care for is their cover of "Low Rider"
Finally, I love Rush but only listen to their first 10 albums. The one song on those 10 albums that I don't care for will surprise most peoplw- its "Fly By Night" I don't hate it, I just don't care for it and will sometimes skip over it.
Michael, minus some months I missed due to personal problems in last 4 or so years, saw every show. But, this here is straight up a DIFFERENT level of dedication. I commend you !!👍💯
you forgot "I don't care" by Craig (rainbow eyes)
These are quotes. A take away from this show is that Craig is a giddy school girl when it comes to Kiss Unmasked but he wants to slash his throat over Dio singing like a girl lol! Epic beatdown from Chris Alo over that shit lol!
@@patriotpizzaman I love Dio, just not that song. And yes, I have a soft spot for Kiss Unmasked 😁though "giddy as a school girl" is a bit of a stretch lol
I never knew about these follow up lists/reviews by Michael! Love it! Keep the content coming 🤘
If you want to add another layer you could time stamp too 😬
I absolutely love "Rainbow Eyes", but Craig's rant was priceless! 😂
I agree…I love Rainbow Eyes too. Guess Craig feels otherwise😆
It’s the softy on the album. I like the novelty of it but I can see where someone like Craig is coming from.
Rainbow Eyes is a beautiful song. To each his own.
I love Rainbow Eyes. If you hate that you probably will hate most of the first album also.
Great song. One of my favorite Rainbow ballads....calls Ronnie singing like a chick?! crazy
This show (and channel) deserves to be way more popular than it is. This was a great one.
All the other channels I subscribe to of this nature say that Pete's the man. I tend to think of SOT as Kellogg's Corn Flakes and the others as supermarket own brand.
I love this channel and this series. I don't watch every episode because sometimes the topics just aren't something that interest me, but I love listening to people who are so knowledgeable and passionate about music just banter back and forth like this, I wish I knew more music fans like this in person, but sadly I don't.
I had a really crappy work day today, but at least I'll go to sleep happy having watched this episode. Holy shit this was funny and the picks were awesome. Thanks everyone, see ya on the next one!
This is one of the funniest Hudson Valley Squares show ever.
1:07:52 If this show was a 1980s sit-com on TV, Chris Alo is one those characters where the audience applauds as soon as he comes on set...
You are FAR too kind, thank you Michael.
I look forward to the Hudson Valley Squares every week. It's become one of my favourite shows :) Another great show. Thank you!
Kiss- Great Expectations yet nobody’s gonna mention Lyrics being that Gene Simmons is such an egotistical prick lol 😂 The song was about himself banging those 14yr. old Geishas in Tokyo which then was kept totally hush 🤐 hush; and no mention of pedophilia..? I agree with C. although you’re missing the point where what he’s talking about is “Anybody’s lucky 🍀 to be with this sick fuck! Ace Frehley IS Kiss 💋 face it guys and Sydney (?) In all honesty. Listen to the song and then perhaps you’ll get his message about himself. Agreed.? Sincerely yours truly again ❤️ David J Goldbaum Boston Massachusetts 02134 USA 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 Amerikkka...Jesus Christ almighty please help US
Great show. All of the co- hosts. Chris ALO in HOF for pure laughs” LMAO. 👍💯
I'd much rather hear "Can I Play With Madness" than "Bring your Daughter....to the Slaughter." It is fucking awful.
So much cringe it's difficult to know where to start.
We need Jamie and Chris to be in every Hudson Valley Squares.
Chris usually is, but not Jamie, however, I agree.
I actually thought Craig stole the show as well. "Turd sandwich between buns of steel" lol
Craig was amazing this time around!
This was like a classic Marx Brothers bit. Brilliant.
Yesss! 🤣🤘
Love Changes, She's Gone, Shandi and Is This Love, all great ballads. However I still enjoyed the episode.
Great show. Gotta bring the topic to Prog Seat too!
Yep!!
Come on Pete, Never Say Die ain't all bad. Few tastiest on there.
This might have been the funniest episode in the history of the Hudson Valley Squares! Chris and Craig are hilarious!!!
You have to give Jamie props for his.. props!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks ! 😁
Agreed. This was a top 5 episode from the squares for sure.
@@robertdendooven7258 Jamie is kinda like a stand up comedian - he has props and bits and all sorts of material. Chris and Craig are just naturals! Everything they say is funny! 😂😂😂
Really good one for sure, I hope some of these guys who aren't regulars for HVS come back in the future!
Craig is spot on with Great Expectations from Destroyer…it’s a major turd
God of emptiness - what the fuck. I respect Nick so much. His heart, his love for Devin Townsend his eclectic musical taste. But God of Emptiness sucks……what the fuck am I hearing……anyway. I wasn’t a Kiss fan my whole life and I’m still not. But I just don’t understand the hatred for Unmasked. I know it’s poppy but the songs are great. I love Easy as it seems…..oh well, maybe I have bad taste…even though I don’t. Killer show as usual of course……and if you see this Ryan e.mail me….my Wattsapp has crashed as my phone is old and fucked…….side boob at the pool……😂😂😂😂😂
Thought Chris C. Was done , then "......DOUCHEBAG.". Almost fell on the treadmill I was using while watching this watching this . 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. The sheer fucking authority it was said with....fucking A , cheers to that !!
Winds of Change by Scorpions. It’s a song that supposed to promote world peace but the moment I hear that whistling I’m almost hoping for the nuclear bombs to fall!
It’s ok
Yes!
Cheers Squares. That was one of the funniest episodes ever! Between Craig, Jamie and Chris too funny. Craig was on a roll man. Symphonic Sack of Shit! My three favorite bands are Rush, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles.
Rush: Tai Shan is Tai Shit.
Led Zeppelin: Hats of to Roy Harper. I love Led Zeppelin III but man this song sucks. They should have included Hey Hey What Can I Do.
The Beatles- Revolution #9. They should have listened to George Martin.
Hats of to Roy harper is a strange song. I find that a lot of people don’t get it. To me it sounds like they were doing a pastiche of traditional blues music. They even recorded it so it sounds like a scratchy 1930s-1950s recording with Jimmy Page playing a bottleneck slide and echo/distortion on Plant’s voice. The lyrics are all quotes from old blues songs, Bukka White etc. Roy Harper’s music doesn’t sound like this. So I don’t understand the title or the inspiration for the song.
When Pete mentions 'Is this love" and you see Sidney's heart break lol
It probably would've been better if Tina Turner HAD agreed to record it (David Coverdale originally offered it to her).
yeah my ears broke the first time I heard that song
I gotta say, I love “Changes” - I’ve never understood all the hate.
It's mostly macho metal dudes who can't let themselves like the wimpy ballad. I like it too. FX would have been a way better pick
I love it too. It’s a precursor to songs like Goodbye to Romance which is beautiful!
I love it too!
Great song!
Me too, I really like it. I’ve never heard the version with Ozzy’s daughter and hopefully I never will.
Chris Alo , this guy is a laugh track 😂 and i also agree with Chris C about Unmasked-what a terrible album
The one Manowar song I don't like is "Blow Your Speakers", I thought that song was annoying.
Great show funny as hell.Craig was on tonight.The symphonic sack of shit and the turd burger in between two buns of steel comment was hilarious.And totally agree with craig on KISS Great expectations.Horrible. My picks would be 1. Pantera-Good friends and a bottle of pills.Great title but annoying song,its just phil mumbling how he fucked some dudes girlfriend while the dude was past out and DIMEBAG just making feedback noise,always had to skip it.2. Black Sabbath- Breakout off of Never say die.Horrible instrumental that has saxophone on it.Saxophone and black sabbath do not mix well. 3.Judas priest-Epitaph. All i have to say is what were they thinking.Talk about a turd burger in between two buns of steel with genocide and island of domination.It sounds like halford was about to start singing look at me im as helpless as a kitten up a tree,not good.HM OZZY - So Tired.This song without a doubt is the ultimate symphonic sack of shit.I know i used Craigs quotes but couldnt think of a better way to describe those songs.
An Epic Episode....just when some good laughs were needed comes the Hudson Valley Squares with the sing-along turdburger episode. Cannot thank all of you enough for your time and sharing some of your least favorites with us but a special shout-out has to be given to the Oedipal therapy session where Chris Alo becomes the therapist for Jamie Lazlo. Will be laughing about that for days. And if the time ever comes when someone makes a show of the best of the HSV, there is no doubt that everyone on this show will have an excerpt included from this episode. Thanks again.
Deep Purple is my favorite band and I love Rainbow 🌈. But I disagree I really like Rainbow Eyes. Really shows Ronnie’s versatility and range. He could sing the phone book and it would be epic. R.I.P. Ronnie.
Time to rename HVS to "The Chris & Jamie Show!!" Neither guy disappoints ever. Jamie, I've always had a thing for Pat also. In fact she was my one and only music crush, so I know how you feel. How about the topic "Can't stand the band, but they played a great song by mistake" (Covers excluded)
I wouldn’t say I love Def Leopard but I really do hate pour some sugar on me!
Yes, awful song.
That song is pure trash.
That was the best episode in a while! Super quotable! The episodes talking about things you guys don't like are probably the best cause they lead to such priceless rants!
It was nice to see the Squares get back with an interesting show this week. It’s just my thing, but I’m not a big fan of the album war shows. Would have been great if Butch could have been on tonight.
As far as song we hate from bands we love…
1. Rush - “Tai Shan” from Hold Your Fire. Rush is my favorite band of all time, but this song that was inspired by Neil Peart’s bike ride around China was terrible. “When China sang to me”…Too much syrup here.
2. Rolling Stones - “Harlem Shuffle”. This cover could have put a nail in the Stones’ coffin back in ‘86, and I’m almost surprised it didn’t.
3. Boston - Pretty much every song on the “Walk On” album. I remember hearing “I Need Your Love” on the radio when I was in Japan, getting excited about a new Boston record, buying the thing at Tower Records in Osaka and…Wanting to throw the CD out when I realized Brad Delp wasn’t singing on it.
The video for Harlem Shuffle is pretty bad too.
I actually think “Rainbow Eyes” is a great song!!! Shows Ronnies vocal range. It reminds me a lot of a lot of early YES tunes. And even early Rush! …. Love when a band breaks it up! Miss you RJD!!
Great to see you back Sydney! Loving metal from the inside!
Great prove by Jamie why The Angler and The Gambler sucks sooo much! Great Episode!
Rainbow Eyes reminds me of the closing song on his heaviest Dio album, Angry Machines, called "This Is Your Life."
Since I have been listening to the squares, I've never heard everyone swear and be angry so much! Goddamn hilarious!
You must be from the mid west
Everyone was on fire tonight! Some of the songs picked I happen to love, but that's cool - you all had me laughing SO hard... and I do mean every single person on the panel!
Fantastic episode!!!
If I were to pick a band and a song, the band would be Led Zeppelin. I really enjoy every one of their songs, except for one ... Hat’s Off to Roy Harper. I always stop the CD before that song. When I had it on cassette tape, I’d hit fast forward.
I mostly like Zep III but I agree entirely. Hey Hey What Can I Do was right there. I wish Poor Tom was on Zep III too.
@@ChromeDestiny
I heard that Hats Off actually replaced hey hey what can I do at the last minute.
Totally agree on that! I am a huge Zeppelin fan, they're my favorite band ever, but I detest Hats Off to Roy Harper. I think what irks me the most is that dreadful vocal effect they put on Plant at the song's beginning- sounds like he's throwing up.
Rainbow Eyes is a Masterpiece.
Great show. Chris Alho being the Ace that he always is! Sydney is always great. Ryan keeps you guessing where you will end up at a show. Basements. Alleys. I love it.
Variety IS the spice of life after all! 😜
Judas Priest - Johnny B Goode
Love that Rainbow album. Never thought Gates of Babylon got enough love. IMO an awesome song. Enjoy it more than Stargazer.
Zorros Ascent is a classic, in fact my two favourite Alice albums are Zipper Catches Skin and Constrictor and no I’m not joking and Rusty Angels is great too. One of the best songs from the underrated Forbidden
F*cking ‘Tattoo’ by Van Halen. Just because I was so hyped for ADKOT when it came out; VH’s first full length album with DLR in almost 30 years. No Michael Anthony was a bit of a red flag to say the least, but I had seen Wolfy play live and knew he was talented… I was optimistic and willing to give him a chance. I imagined this album coming out and just blowing away all of the current pseudo “rock” bands out of the water, showing what real rock ‘n’ roll was all about. I was so excited when they dropped the first single ‘Tattoo’ along with the music video on TH-cam. I couldn’t wait to play it… and then I did… 🤦 I don’t think I had ever felt so much cringe listening to a song in my entire life. There was no hook. No punch. No drive. Dave’s vocals were shot, which made the non-existence of MA’s backing vocals that much more noticeable because it wasn’t there to help balance out Dave’s lack of range. Eddie sounded okay, but the song itself sounded over-produced and nowhere near as raw as the original albums. All-in-all it was just a bad and disappointing song that instantly killed the hype for the rest of that album, which is unfortunate because there are actual goods songs on it.
Tattoo is so bad its cringeworthy. Like you said Eddie was ok but save and those lyrics are atrocious.
I thought Dy'er Maker was a decent song but definitely hardly one of Zep's best efforts, TBH I'm not a big fan of "All My Love" and "In The Evening", I always thought "In Through The Out Door" was their weakest album (excluding Coda).
I'm sure "turd between buns of steel" is one that's gonna go into the SoT lexicon.
Since there will be no show next Monday just let Craig fill in as host and let him do a Rant show on songs that are turds between buns of steel along with songs that are symphonies of shit
1. Paradise Lost - Self-Obsessed
2. Genesis - Hold On My Heart
3. Iron Maiden - The Angel and the Gambler
The Angel And The Gambler was thr first one that came to my mind. My God that verse repeating for the 70th time...
If they just shortened it after the last verse by about 2mins it would be a great song.
2. Genesis - Invisible Touch 😳😩😒😕🥺
Good to see somebody mention Paradise Lost, although I like that song. Paradise Lost are my fave band, but I never liked Cry Out from The Plague Within. Sounds like a throwaway b-side.
Can we do a compilation of Alo's greatest hits from SOT? I am dying from laughter!
"I Am the Future" by Alice Cooper off of Zipper Catches Skin is so underrated. It was the main song for the horror/sci-fi movie called "Class of 1984." I'd check out the single or the soundtrack version.
The whole album is underrated
Awesome song, always loved it.
For me, 80's Alice Cooper is kind of like 80's KISS...I just don't care for it, with a few exceptions (the title track of "Lick It Up" is ok). Love both bands' 70's output, though. In my opinion, most of the great 70's bands put out subpar material in the 80's.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Dio ballads. Say what you will about how ferocious Ronnie's voice was, he had an unparralled tenderness to his voice that I've always loved. I remember trying to get one of my girlfriends, whose heaviest favorite band was Jethro Tull "Songs From The Wood" era, to admit that Metal was as intellectually stimulating as whatever classical or jazz album she was spinning at the time. I played her a Dio song and she said he had a feminine voice. I was a little shocked to agree with her but, it's that tenderness he evoked with some of the softer phrases in songs like "All The Fools Sailed Away", "Don't Talk To Strangers" (I'm pretty sure it was one of those songs she commented on) and of course the ballads he did like "Rainbow Eyes" and "Catch The Rainbow".
Yeah, call me a softy or whatever but for me that is one of the very best things about Dio's voice.
I love the Dio ballads too and Rainbow Eyes. It provides a balance to Long Live Rock and Roll. Mellowness after all of the Hard Rock music mayhem before. It also shows that he's not one dimensional. He did do the Doo Wop, Crooning, and Boogie Woogie in the past also.
@@dmacnic agreed! As I said, the softer side of deer is one of my favorite things about him. I love stuff like the quiet versus of last in line, too late from dehumanizer, opening of don't talk to strangers, etc.
Craig is such a likeable and funny guy, and he brings an awesome positive energy to the panel!! I'd love to see him as a HVS mainstay!!
P.S. We miss you Butch!!!
Well, thank you! 😁
@@craigkaminski Great having you and I love that you do love the hair/glam metal and are not affraid to share your opinion!
Alo!!!! How Dare You, Sir!!! ‘Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter’ is a majestic anthem. I love it!!! 😆
You can be wrong. Who would have thunk it?!?!?
Pete is right as far as "Rusty Angels" is concerned. Check out Dokken's "Burning like a flame". It could be called a ripp-off.
30:40 Ac/dc´s "Big Balls" might suck, but "She´s Got You By The Balls" off of Razor´s Edge is pretty awesome, heavy stuff!
Yea he hit the nail on the head when he said “Big Balls is funny when you’re 12, but you realize how stupid it is when you get older” yea not only did I eventually find that song stupid, but also annoying
Aah, but the girls loved Rainbow Eyes. When you put it on the record player, the afternoon was getting hot, if you know what I mean.
Ryan, I like Diabolus in Musica too. As for God Hates Us All, I do like a few songs off of it, such as, Disciple, God Send Death, Bloodline, Here Comes the Pain (one of their heaviest songs ever), and Payback. Also, Threshold isn't too bad. The album as a whole though tends to give me a headache, mostly due to Tom's incessant screaming which grates on the ears after a while.
Scorpions - Winds of Chance
Van Halen - Why can't this be love and Panama
Judas Priest - Turbo Lover
Motley Crue - S.O.S., Home Sweet Home, and Smoking in the Boys Room
Rainbow - Stranded (around 500 times in the lyrics 😎)
And a lot of other cheesy ballads
Otto Waalkes (a famous german comedian) made a good parody of the whistling song "winds of change" in german television.
Agree with Chris Alo 100 percent on Changes just awful. Craig almost stole his thunder with it's like a turdburger between two buns of steel. Funniest HVS episode I have seen. Great job to Pete and his guests.
I don't like Signs by Tesla either Sidney, yes terrible cover. The radio station I use to listen too out here in the Bay Area, they would play it all the time. I hate it totally agree Sidney.
Chris you should be a comedian ,you have all makings ,being honest!
"Mr. Roboto" by Styx (1983) & "We Built This City" by Starship (late 1985) are the worst rock songs in history!!!!
Some of y’all are just ballad haters lol
Rainbow Eyes, Is This Love, and Going to California are amazing songs. Sydney is right.
Rainbow Eyes is especially great, those melodies are just so beautiful, and that song has brought me to tears. Especially after Ronnies passing. We are all allowed to have our own opinions, but not being moved at all by that song, you may need to check your soul lol I mostly kid.
You like what you like, and that's OK with me ! We all hear things differently, as they say.
The Rolling Stones - Sex Drive
Neil Young - Computer Cowboy
Bob Dylan - Wiggle Wiggle
David Bowie - Day In Day Out
The Who - Athena
Great episode! KISS has always been a favorite of mine, but they do have a LOT of songs that could fit in anyone's list for this topic. Personally, i think it's ''I was made for loving you''. Never cared for that song. I excluded the solo albums, because Gene and Peter's have quite a few.. Twinkle twinkle little star? really? WTF.
You mean When You Wish Upon A Star. Still pretty bad though!
@@davidl570 yes.. equally as bad. lol I think my vinyl is still near mint.. that's how much i care for that album :)
Van Halen - How many say I
From the awful album Van Halen 3, for me it's the worst song in the entire catalog, I love Van Halen but that album and particulary that song is a complete stinker , I believe Eddie sang on this, but he'd better should have stayed in what he does best !! playing the guitar !!
I don't ever need to hear "Changes" again but Vol 4 rules bas does every Ozzy era Sabbath album. Yes, including Never Say Die which i personally love. Sorry Pete
Never say Die is a masterpiece.
OMG! Just listened to Rusty Angel and Pete, you are so right! In fact, I think the members of Dokken should sue for copyright infringement
Love Killing Joke but I have never understood the appeal of their only big hit, Love Like Blood.
Radio ( AmI going insane) super obvious #1
Good gravy, I totally forgot that! But yep, terrible!
I totally agree, Diabolus is much better than God Hates Us All, and New Faith IS the most NU song by slayer. People hates Diabolus cuz they tuned down and added a little of groove in there. I love thrash, but I don't hate groove metal. So when Slayer added a little in, I thought is sounded cool as fuck. When i was still making mix tapes or CD's, only Disciple and Payback had a chance of making it.
Pete: i absolutely hate Unmasked. Because of Unmasked(and maybe to a lesser extent Dynasty), and the lead single to the Elder being World Without Heroes, people assumed Elder was another candy-ass album. It really wasn't, and it was sooooooo much better than Unmasked. But the reaction to Elder, and Creatures, was the bill coming due from a Disco and then a Pop record back to back, also after the mostly shitty solo albums(other than Ace).
C'mon Pete, Sabbath does Dokken better than Dokken does Dokken. No I get your point but I dig Rusty Angels, another clever riff from Iommi.
I've never heard it before so I went and check it out. I think Rusty Angels is a good song.
Maybe not so much like Sabbath but it doesn't suck.
Mother on Synchronicity kept that album from being perfect
Shadowlife is ASS. You were able to pick a worst tune.
I also heard that George purposely sabotaged that record. Heinous.
Great topic, and especially great episode! It was hilarious. Chris Alo delivered like he always does, and Craig was also extremely hilarious.
I absolutely love Pink Floyd however The Grand Vizier's Garden Party is truly unlistenable. I know it's technically only Nick Mason who gets a writing credit but since it's on a Pink Floyd album it still counts. I actually find a lot to like about the album excluding that!
Don’t you think I’m a savior
Don’t ya think I can save ya
Don’t ya think I can save your life
😵💫
And I love Kiss Unmasked. Underrated with great melodic songs.
Great show!
Maiden Math got me in stitches 😂
Metallica- everything after the 80s sucks
True
The Iron Maiden song 'Bring your daughter to the Slaughter was released at Christmas deliberately to foil the plans of a guy called Cliff Richard who was forever releasing awful Christian pap records which invariably got the coveted Christmas No 1 spot. It received no airplay from the BBC who of course hated it and never played any heavy metal. Thanks to everyone who hated Clif Richards (most of us) and Iron Maiden fans (millions of us) it went straight to number one on the UK Singles Chart on 30 December 1990. A real kick in the teeth to the establishment and well worth the cost of buying it!
My pick would definitely be ‘Welcome to the Machine’ by Pink Floyd. Wish You Were Here (or any album from the Waters-Gilmour era for that matter) is absolutely stellar cover to cover!!…but the one Floyd song from that era that I never dug was Welcome to the Machine…
These are always fun shows, always interesting to hear the crew shredding, but to hammer bands they love makes it even better.
Pink Floyd .. Welcome to the Machine. I can’t stand Gilmore’s whiney voice on it! I’d rather hear Waters sing it on his later solo tours. The song weighs the album down a bit for me. I’d rather hear Dark Side or Animals.
Love it when Chris goes off leaving Pete gasping for air. Haaaa!
1. Iron Maiden: Wasting Love (I've always hated this song and even though I've tried to like it... I can't)
2. Judas Priest: United (a bland, boring, and overly commercial song off well, a very commercial album. Breaking the Law and Living After Midnight worked, this song doesn't).
3.Metallica: To Live is to Die (was going to pick Sad But True, but again, that's an obvious target. No matter how many times I go back and listen to ...And Justice, I cannot get into this song).
Edit: Forgot to mention AC/DC's "Rock & Roll Train" and Pantera's "Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills". Can't stand either of those songs.
Literally my favorite Metallica song of all time, but agree with the rest
I like the sentiment of “United” all the metal heads Uniting to take on. The world!
@@mrfloosak Good song, yes.
Man, rainbow eyes is Ronnie at the peak of his natural vocal tone, not the forced distortion he started using in the 80s.
Ronnie was a heavy smoker so I'm not sure he had to "force" his voice that much to be raspy. And with all due respect he really developed a croak toward the end of career. But that's what smoking does.
Ryan, I never knew Dio smoked 😳 that is very surprising
Wind of Change by the Scorpions -and that God-awful whistling!
Genesis is my favorite band (and the recent tour was incredible if you are lifelong fan, by the way), and agree that We Can't Dance and Illegal Alien are not the best songs, but their worst song is Whodunit and it's not even close. I'm surprised Pete didn't mention it. It's a song about who farted. Seriously. And it's worse than it sounds like it would be.
“Aynone’s Daughter” is NOTHING like Bob Dylan at all. Just because it’s acoustic doesn’t mean it’s like Dylan. lol. It’s definitely a goofy song though.
It’s the way he sings it and the rambling nature of it…reminds me totally of Dylan.
@@seaoftranquilityprog fair enough, but lyrically it is not.
Who would have thought that a song called ‘Jerry Garcia’s Finger’ would not be a masterpiece.
Chaucer, Milton, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Gillan.
God of Emptiness is 1 of my favorite songs. Got to burn some candles and summon some ghosts while playing the song. It's not a a song to mosh to , it's a meditation song. Another great song is Nile - To Dream of Ur , and Sarcophagus, Immolation - Burn With Jesus, and Vital Remains - Immortal Crusade are songs that I play to find myself, but I understand why the casual listener wouldn't relate to God of Emptiness, if they don't get into dark atmospheric songs, as opposed to bangers. Dimmu Borgir - Leppers Among Us is also an incredible experience
Altars of Madness is my favourite Morbid Angel album and I'm generally not into the kind of slow, sludgy (as in it sounds like you're struggling through sludge, not like the *genre* of sludge) MA tunes, but I do like "God of Emptiness" for the reasons you mentioned. i think it's a pretty effective way to close that album.
Pete's Deep Purple song reminds me of the song Sex Farm from Spinal Tap.
Classic King Alo
I used to really dislike "Changes". it was the one blight on what is also one of my favourite Sabbath albums (second only, perhaps, to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath). But then two things happened:
1. I went to see a friend's Sabbath tribute band for something like the dozenth time. They were playing in this bar. They brought their fans, but I'm sure most of the people in that place weren't hardcore Sabbath fans at all. i was always bugging them to play lesser known songs, and making fun of them for ending their sets with "Paranoid". Well, they decided to pull out "Changes". My friend, the bassist, was on keyboard. To my surprise, everyone in the place was singing along. It was a real warm, communal moment and I admit the whole thing softened my heart about the song. And then...
2. I heard Charles Bradley's cover of the song, and I realised what "Changes" is actually supposed to be. It's supposed to be a genuine soul tune. Sabbath is not a soul band; Ozzy is not a soul singer, and although it's a well-written song, it's maybe not executed on Sabbath quite in the way that brings it 100% to life and really makes you feel the real emotion in the piece. Mr. Bradley really brings it to life. I encourage anyone who is dubious about this song, or, hell, anyone who thinks it's actually a cool song already, to go listen to this cover. It may just change the way you think about "Changes" forever.
probably not Chris though! I think he might be immovable on this one.
@La Barba Azul68 yeah! It's like he fully understood what the song was supposed to be and brought it to its full potential. It's really fantastic!
Yep, agreed! Charles Bradley's cover is WAY better than the original!
I like changes okay enough but it drives me nuts when casual fans praise it so much. It's made even worse by the fact that Wheels of Confusion is just sitting there opening the album and is pretty much the greatest song of all time 🤣🤣 not to mention St Vitus Dance and fuckin Cornucopia
@@chrisalo2989 I love the original version with Black Sabbath. It´s one of the best soft ballads ever.
@@jimekberg No way
It is very interesting but I' ve always loved Rainbow eyes and Quest for fire :)

Always thought FX was stupid. Changes is OK
1. Rush is my favorite band, but I don’t like most songs they did after the Signals album, so I’m limiting myself to picking something from the classic era. So my Rush pick will be “Rivendell.” It’s a five minute snooze-fest that feels like it goes on for at least eight minutes. Geddy’s vocals are uncharacteristically boring to fit the equally uninteresting soundscape on the song. The only thing it’s useful for is as a lullaby to help me fall asleep if I’m restless.
2. My second pick is “Turn of the Century” by my second favorite band, Yes. Not my least favorite Yes song ever (pretty much everything from Heaven and Earth is worse), but it is my least favorite from the classic period. It’s just boring to my ears and I’ve never been able to get into it, despite my best efforts when listening to Going for the One.
3. My third favorite band is Led Zeppelin, but I actually don’t dislike any Zeppelin songs. So I’ll pick a song from my fourth favorite band, Triumph. My pick for them is “Magic Power,” an overrated, unrepresentative, overtly poppy track from one of the most underrated bands of all time. The fact that this song was a hit bothers me to no end because it’s what a lot of people think when they think “Triumph.” Triumph was a great hard rock power trio that infused bits of blues, jazz, and Prog. “Magic Power” is none of that and it uses a cheesy pop chorus to bring in listeners that would never give the regular Triumph a chance. It’s not my least favorite Triumph song, but its existence still annoys me.
I see what you mean about Rivendell, however it was a surreal moment when I heard it playing in the restroom at the MGM Grand on the day Rush was playing their R30 concert there in Vegas. Playing a deep cut like that was a classy move by the casino.
I like the original "Signs" by the Five Man Electric Band
but not the Tesla version because the original was back
in the 60's and they had a great sound back in those old
days and was a great Hippie song the cover remake by
Tesla a hard rock band but their version was an acoustic
version now if it was Electric it would have been great but
Acoustic was not.
Motörhead 1916 great album apart from that horrible war ballad at the end.
