Yeah, this album spoke to me as well. One of my faves and kinda in league with this one for it's rebellious thematic content:

Now THEY were prog rock IMHO.

For visual impact (with a healthy dose of musical impact) it was a toss up between this: ...And this: The graphic punch of both albums was undeniable! Certainly my love of comic books also factored into the Rush cover.

I kind of bristle at the suggestion that it is progressive rock. If anything, that strikes me more as “Art rock” but what’s in a name? I’m reminded of some very fringe, experimental art rock by Pink Floyd. “Songs” like Saucerful of Secrets and Interstellar Overdrive definitely challenged the notion of what constitutes a song PF was definitely pushing some boundaries with these tunes, albeit without the goofy f-ed up costumes.

Made it to 1:02 before I hit stop button. Even that was too long.

No excuse! Do some research! 😄

I'm a lil' disappointed; he's depicted with some non-descriptive stomp box instead of an actual wah. Stupid graphic designer.

Ah hah! You're the one who snagged this Cali from Pete! Damn! When that was up for grabs, I was in a Cali-reduction phase and passed on it. A year or so later, I had second thoughts but it was LONG gone.

Good stuff!!!

We're Not Gonna Take It is a staple in the cover band's set list rotation but there are a number of other more tasty offerings on Stay Hungry. For whatever reasons, gems like Horror-teria (The Beginning): A) Captain Howdy. B ) Street Justice and Burn In Hell just don't seem to resonate with patrons. Good on Dee if he is hanging it up because he accepts the reality and inevitability of getting too old to rock properly.

Not sure why the mad scientist luthier reversed this. Must be one of them left-handers.

Quite the mash up!

Done!

Question: can we submit TWO items if the other one is a collaboration between you and another HFCer?

Yeah, I saw that as well as this one:

Wow. Just... wow. I've been hankering for a Hamer Diablo (again) and went poking around online and came across this. $4080.00 + $250 to ship from München. 😲 Not even all original- PATB in the bridge position. Don't want one that badly. https://reverb.com/item/83844047-hamer-usa-diablo-aztec-gold-black-hw?utm_campaign=US-Shop_unpaid&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google

I dunno. 🤔

"How's the acoustic tone?" "Is this lighter than my '58 R8 I made into a double cut with a drywall saw and a cheese grater?"

So, the Star Spangled Star is coming along! Bits and pieces got appropriate paint. If this thing ends up playing like shit, it's gonna be one of the most patriotic POS ever played.

I liked Breakfast In America and knew maybe a handful of their songs but they were not a band I would queue up. This song was one of their better offerings. I have a fairly distinct memory of some on the HFC not being particularly fond of Supertramp. I didn't quite understand the hate but that's musical tastes/preferences for ya.
