Love the ranking! Pretty similar to mine! But speaking of Led Zeppelin's 'influence', there's another one in my opinion: the drum fills on Cassidy's solo in the song 'It's All the Same' from The Family hat Plays Together album. The phrase is used in Moby Dick's solo released one year after
My favorites are their first 2 and then the next 2. My friend stole (how we obtained most of our albums in '67 and'68) the first album and I ended up with it. Played it a million times. The second album I managed to actually buy and played it a LOT also. After that I bought the next two and liked them plenty but was getting into crazier/different music and they never became something in my blood or whatever. All great albums!
A favourite - 4 great albums - saw them on English tour 1970. Still got The Family That Plays Together album sleeve framed on my wall! Weird to pick the odd number 5 first!
So I guess that those videos are are reminder that our summer is your deep winter, right? I've been thinking about a winter music thread for the next one, but I might just go for now, if I intend my audience to be you and Victor? ^^
Clear/The Family That Plays Together/Spirit/Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus/Feedback/Spirit of '76/Farther Along/The 13th Dream. Saw the Cassidy/Locke-Staley Brothers version of the band at the Aragon Ballroom, Chicago in 1973. Wished I could have seen the original (5) man roster. I am a TAURUS!!!
Thanks for your reply dmk...of course being a Taurus means your Spirit will ascend the Stairway to Heaven...OR if you have been naughty...the stairwell to hell...tee hee
Picked up a small pile of their stuff at the record store. Twelve Dreams/Son of Spirit/Farther Along and the 3CD Salvation live thing. Going back tomorow to get more!
@@armbreaker No. The band may have had other musicians among the original members, and some of those original members may have come and gone a little, but it was the same essential band making albums up until California's untimely death. Some of them are even well regarded by fans, though I prefer the earlier albums.
