...as much right to post as any other RP listener... Just ignore him. As the saying goes, don't feed the trolls.

 
Agreed, I just wish this forum had an "ignore" function like many other forums have, that way each user can screen out whom they choose. Only thing that defeats it is when others quote the offensive posts.

Wow, haven't heard the moodies in a long time, one of favorite bands when this came out. This brings back good memories (middle school days)

Dynamically over compressed.  Vocals and guitar distorted.

 
Yeah, what's up with that? Seems painfully obvious, and this isn't the only Junip tune with this problem.

One of my all-time favorite albums!  Surely one of the most brilliant lyricists of our times!
 
Mine too. EC provided a huge breath of fresh air with both This Year's Model and Armed Forces in 1978. I have most of his albums over the years, but TYM is my favorite.

This is one of the time-and-place songs for me, I remember exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I *really* listened to this song. It was an emotional time, and that's probably why it stuck with me. Not my favorite Beatles tune, but still worth a 9. Happy Friday!

I recently listened to the Steven Wilson remix/remaster of Aqualung, for JT fans I highly recommend it. It's not your average remaster, it's a big improvement over the original release (vinyl and CD).

Always good to hear FZ, but for this one I prefer the live version on Roxy & Elsewhere ("More Trouble Every Day"), it Rocks!

Soon after this came out, Akroyd and Belushi starred in the #1 album (BB), #1 movie (BB), and #1 TV show (SNL), all at the same time. Only time this has ever happened?

I've always loved this album, the song and album are both 9's IMO. Heck, I even liked the film "Greetings from Tim Buckley". I guess that puts me in the minority. Frankly it's nice not to be in a crowd sometimes.

One of my favorite songs, from one of my all time favorite albums, today is the first time this song has ever made me sad. Rest in peace :(

I agree about it sounding different.  I listened to that album a bazillion times back in the day.  It's burned into my memory banks, and this sounds weird for some reason.

 
I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is the remastered version from Neil Young Archives, Vol. 1. When I jump back and forth between the Deja Vu version and the Archives version on my PC (both 256k AAC, from iTunes), they do sound different, to my ear the remaster is just plain more clear (less muddy). The levels are also a bit higher, but I try to compensate for that. I definitely prefer the Archives version.

Of course listening to vinyl brings in a whole 'nuther set of variables.

I don't recall hearing this group before, but this strikes me as an album filler/throwaway sort of song, not very compelling.

Are you that ignorant of how Islam spread throughout the middle east and north Africa?
 
I believe the statement was in reference to Yusef Islam the artist, not Islam the religion.

Wow, who put a nickel in you!  I love ya, RT, you know that.  I am soooo glad to see you writing!

Rock music never mattered a hoot other than being incredibly beautiful.  This song rocks! The cover is a joke, in whatever context.  You should love your country more, and love the authorities.  The 60s was about narcissism and not much more.

 
"The 60s was about narcissism and not much more." Seriously? The 60's that I grew up in, included the equal rights movement, the anti-war movement, auto strikes and workers' rebellion, and a sexual and cultural revolution, all with a sound track provided by R&R. The 60's was a lot more than hippies getting stoned at Woodstock.

You know how some songs can trigger a vivid memory? This song does that for me. I can picture exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I heard this song. I don't know the date exactly, but it was >40 yrs ago, the album was rather new, and I was an early teen. At that age of course I thought I knew everything; I think this song imprinted the memory because it was so different from what I *had* thought was "good music". Eye opening and transformative, it'll always be a 10 in my book.

Wow, that's a really hateful thing to say.  Wait?  Do you hear that?  I think your BFFs at Westboro Baptist are calling you back home!


 Your outrage is misplaced - I just dislike the genre.   Except for musical production I couldn't care less how they use their orifices.  For all I know these guys follow the common convention, and if not I feel no need to intervene.
 
Clueless.

So was the censored version uploaded, or was it censored by RP? Does RP play songs with the f word? I've listened plenty, but never really thought about it before {#Ask}

I was lucky enough to hear them live at about this time, '77 or '78, in East Lansing. I don't think anyone sat during the whole show. RIP Lowell George.

BTW, the release date for this LP should be 1978 (currently listed as 1989).   -Ed
