Would have thought that someone else would have resurrected this subject by now.
Currently listening to Stationary Traveller by Camel.

A minidisc I recorded a while ago consisting of my favourite tracks from the albums Down to Earth and Long Live Rock n Roll by Rainbow. I also put I Surrender and Stargazer onto the minidisc as there was room.
Stargazer, Eyes of the World, Rainbow Eyes , and Gates of Babylon are absolutely excellent tracks.

In the mood for some dreamy psychedelia.

Something came up on my news feed, seems she is in poor health . . . . One of the great ballads of the 80s new wave.
Amazing song. Excellent saxophone

I think I had/have a similar probem with early Marillion when they were blatantly trying to be Genesis Mk2. Much prefer the post-Fish band that soon found their own identity.
Ag! Just by coincidence A video of Marillion popped up on my Kodi performing Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" (at Butlins)...
I've always thought I ought to like them more than I do, but for years every poster or advert for them mentioned some line or quote calling them 'the new Pink Floyd', which frankly irritated me.
I don't know if they are still attempting to brand themselves this way?
All that “is this the new Pink Floyd” stuff was largely down to how the record label Classic Rock Productions was marketing them. That was over twenty years ago. They have done some great albums over the years. My personal favourites are Passengers, The Last Bright Light, For All We Shared and Heart Full of Sky. The compilation of re-recorded tracks Catch the Spirit is also worth seeking out. They are still churning out good albums, although it has to be said that they’ve never been quite so good since Heather Findlay left in about 2011
Cheers for that. Most things I am aware of happened at least 20 years ago! I'll give them another try if they have been allowed to be 'their own band' now.

Watching/listening to a Mostly Autumn concert. "V" appeared in the opening credits, if that makes any sense.
They really are jolly good.
