Any Classical Music Fans

[BradH]

Yes's Magnification melds the LSO with Yes music and I think it smokes. Most Yes fans despise the record but I think it is brilliant. I have loved symphonic music since I was a kid, and Yes pulled off a good one here.

I for one like that album. "Don't Go" should've been a hit. And, frankly, The Ladder sounds better and better as time goes on. But they'd better kick it old school a la Keys next time. (If there is a next time, which ain't looking good with the Asia reunion next year.)

Also very good is Rick Wakemans Return to the Centre of the Earth.

I can't get past the vocals. I don't mind Jack Bruce but did everybody have to sing like that? I'll take Fish Out Of Water, thank you. (Speaking of rock w/ an orchestra...)

I find rock music more and more frustrating as I get older, as the new bands just re-hash the old school stuff but in a ****ty way.

I'm not wild about younger prog bands, personally. Seems like they overproduce the living hell out of everything and make it too smooth.

To me the quality rock stuff out there these days is getting less and less, with the exception of some great UK based prog outfits, what else is there worth a crap?

There are a lot of good bands and musicians out there but what I don't here are people taking bold chances and pushing things in new directions like they used to. I don't care if it's PTree or Green Day, it's been done.
