Calb56 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I just put this on today for the first time, though it came out two years ago. I first heard Snowy White through his work with Thin Lizzy (one of my personal favorite bands). Snowy White And The White Flames "Something On Me". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Liked the Snowy White music. Never heard this before but sure enjoyed it. Got some Santana vibes at the beginning and then just eased into easy listening blues sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 It's not really "discovered" per se, but this week Roger Waters released his new version of Comfortably Numb. And it's amazing. Yes, he's an ass. And yes, he removed what could be one of the greatest guitar solos that has ever existed, but dang this reworking is awesome.

He has a challenging and provocative view on the world for sure. Great video - thank you for posting!

Brian Austin Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Scrolling through several pages, I'm impressed I've actually heard of several of the artists posted in this thread. You folks might want to go back and check all of your posts in this thread because a fair amount of the YouTube links have gone bad. Include all the pertinent details in your text so future readers might be able to attempt searching for these songs. I have re-edited my own posts for this reason.

Brian Austin Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I've always been aware of Al Stewart's radio hits, but sadly I never dug into his catalog until recently. I am impressed with his story telling. This song is from one of his lesser-known albums. Track: "Russians & Americans" from Russians & Americans by Al Stwerart (1984). We could do an entire thread of Cold War songs. So many '80s songs were about the fear of nuclear war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Austin Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 This artists is about as obscure as one can get. Virtually nothing is known about him, other than there were three albums released in the early '80s or so. There's only a smattering of his work posted on YT, no full albums. This track is my favorite. I like the dark undertones in the arrangement. Track: "Dearie" from the album Solitudes by Roger Olson (1981).

Calb56 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Japanese label Antrabata put out an 11 cd set of Led Zeppelin outtakes which is pretty cool. Pretty sure this is the audio from the second cd, recorded at Olympic Studios in London in 1969. Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 This discovery regarding the meaning behind Your is No Disgrace has come as quite a shock to me. According to Edward Macan, "Yours Is No Disgrace" "is generally recognized as Yes' first antiwar song" (though "Harold Land" from their debut album deals with the subject of war). Anderson has stated that the theme of the song was recognition that the kids fighting the war had no choice but to fight and that the war wasn't their fault. Author Bill Martin describes "Yours Is No Disgrace" as "a remarkable and subtle song about the Vietnam War." The lyrics make their point by contrasting the suffering of the soldiers in Vietnam with people partying in Las Vegas. The author Dave Thompson praises the line "On a sailing ship to nowhere" as "[conjuring] a mental image that the music cannot help but echo." The original words "armies gather near" (confirmed in every recorded live version) have been misprinted as "armies scatter the earth" numerous times, suggesting this may have been a mis-transcription in the first published version, as the album cover itself did not include lyrics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yours_Is_No_Disgrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Always recognized "Yours is no Disgrace" as an antiwar song but never thought of it specific to Vietnam. I just kind of applied it to any war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
