I wouldn't care if I never heard it again.

Only Bowie. The two of them must have mainlining creativity at the time, and Rod Stewart was not far behind them. Heady days...
It's kinda depressing for a music forum to be proud of not knowing musicians.

Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young were also having their creative moment

Quaco wrote:I'm listening to Capt. Fantastic at the moment. It really is one of my favorite albums. And unlike all his other ones, the songs are actually imbued with real emotion. Not that EJ wasn't adept at putting over songs even if they weren't "felt" literally, it's just nice to hear him sing about things that matter to him and Bernie. It's funny they had to do a concept album in order to get real. One usually thinks of concept albums as being pretentious somehow.
Some of the songs are truly cool and wonderful ("Better Off Dead", "Tower of Babel"), and the "We All Fall in Love Sometimes"/"Curtains" medley is heartrending. "Writing" is incredibly moving too, sort of the heart of the album. A number of the songs have "boogie" elements, to reach fruition on Blue Moves. A song like "Bitter Fingers" is weird because the verse is pure melodic rock, then the chorus kicks in in double-time and harmonized sha-la-las. "Meal Ticket" reverses these, with a funky verse ("whoo!") then Anglo-rock chorus with a Leslieized White Album guitar solo. He's always rode this line between American and English, funky and melodic, profound and inane. I loved this album from my younger years, so I may not have a very objective view of it. What do you think of it?

Without an emoticon or something, I honestly can't tell what you mean by that comment.
