Moon - Black Dog is on Led Zep 11, I think....yes, definitely one of their best tracks....

"Black Dog" is the leadoff track on their most famous album, "Led Zeppelin IV", or "Zoso" or whatever you want to call it.

NP: These Dreams
Heart
Heart (1985)

by **conversationpc** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 12:46 pm

NP: When the Crowds Are Gone
Savatage
Gutter Ballet (1989)

Savatage starting adding keyboards to their music with this album and this song features that new dimension to the band. Jon Oliva is no genius at playing them but they're used effectively. This is a great poignant, song, more along the lines of a power ballad.

Steve Hackett
A Midsummer Night's Dream (1997)

Unfortunately - "Colors of the Spirit" by Journey. Thankfully it is almost over.

I have never heard that song before and it was very sad I thought.....but I'm over it now...on to something more uplifting Dave :lol:

NP: Devil's Only Friend
Jeremiah Freed
Times Don't Change (2002)

Up until I tried searching up their web site, I thought they were a "solo" act. Anyway, it's band along the lines of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Good southern rock/blues.

NP: Rise
Steve Walsh
Shadowman (2005)

This is quite different from his work with Kansas but still pretty good. He combines some more modern sounds with heavy metal. Very different from his past solo work also.

by **conversationpc** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 1:43 pm

NP: Cruise Missile
Steve Morse Band
The Introduction (1984)

Great southern rock-influenced instrumental. That's Rod Morgenstein, of Dixie Dregs and Winger fame, on the drums and awesome bassist Van Romaine.

by **conversationpc** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 1:50 pm

NP: Suite Sister Mary
Queensrÿche
Operation: Mindcrime (1988)

Unfortunately, the video for this one isn't the full song. Tate sounds pretty good here, better than I remember him sounding over the past few years.

Here's a link to the album on CD Universe...They have sound clips of the songs available. It gives you an idea but it's only 30 seconds long, so it doesn't really do the song justice.

My 2nd favorite band, after Journey. A boyfriend took me to A Farewell To Kings Tour concert. That was my first time hearing them. That still ranks as the best concert I've ever been to. It was awesome. Neil Peart was simply amazing..blew me away. I've seen them in concert since, but that one was the best.

I wish I could have seen them in those days. Unfortunately, I was only about 6 years old at the time... :lol:

Anyway, I finally got to see them about three years ago on their "Vapor Trails" tour and again the following year on their 30th anniversary tour. The drum solos from Peart are amazing and are really the only instrumental solos that I care to hear from anyone. Most solos are usually just a chance for the instrumentalist to musically masturbate. Peart's solos actually go somewhere. Amazing!

u was but a baby. I was in highschool! :shock:

It's all good, though. No hangups about my age. Got to see and hear alot of great bands and singers in their prime. Peart was amazing......he had really long hair and wore some kimono type thing. Was using alot of chimes and had the big gong behind him. The greatest drum solo he ever did, imo, was at that concert.

A bit of trivia which even a lot of Rush fans don't know...His name is actually pronounced with a long "E" sound as in the word "peer", not with an "A" sound as in "heart".

Yngwie Malmsteen
Odyssey (1988)

Perhaps my favorite Malmsteen tune AND with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals. It's Turner's best vocal performance, in my opinion.

Great song and album! And it sure ranks up there among Turner's best performances (the melody is pretty intricate), but for me he really kicks it into gear on Can't Let You Go.

Have posted it before, but if any of you missed it here it is again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnF3m7Vd-2w
