Do you own/have you heard?

[Trollheart]

Shamelessly robbing this from a thread I saw over on MB. Post an album and the next poster says whether they have it, or have heard it, or not, then poses their own question. Just answer own, have heard, or neither. Nothing too obscure please.

Bat out of Hell - Meat Loaf

[Buckeye Randy]

Yes.  I bought it when it came out because of the Rundgren/Utopia connection.  Like many high school albums this has not stood the test of time in Randyland.  It never helped that my Father-In-Law started listening and touting this album 25 years after the fact.  Fun fact, Meatloaf was on Cleveland International as was Ian Hunter. I saw Meatloaf and Ellen Foley take the stage with Ian Hunter for an encore of Cleveland Rocks.

Trick Of The Tail - Genesis

[Trollheart]

Yes, possibly my favourite Genesis album, tied with Wind and Wuthering. How they managed to get two albums out in the one year, after suffering the seismic shock of Gabriel's exit I don't know.

Small Change - Tom Waits

[Lexi of the Dawn]

Yes, possibly my favourite Genesis album, tied with Wind and Wuthering. How they managed to get two albums out in the one year, after suffering the seismic shock of Gabriel's exit I don't know.

Small Change - Tom Waits

Never heard. I'm not very well versed in his music (though I've enjoyed his acting roles like his small part in Dracula 1992).

Ash Ra Tempel - Join Inn

[Buckeye Randy]

That's a no-go fo me...but I did listen to a few of the tracks.

Kimono My House by Sparks

[Lisnaholic]

With that Sparks album, it's a "No" from me to both questions, although I have totally admired the album title. I have probably dipped into some tracks online, hoping, but failing to find anything that, to my mind, lives up to the wonderful "This town ain't big enough."

(I've also dipped into some Ash Ra Tempel, Lexi - and liked them enough to download a couple of their livelier songs.)

"And now for something completely different"...

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young 

Nope, never heard. Neil Young's music has always been hit or miss for me and I haven't really delved into his discography aside from the select stuff I really like.

Chris Squire - Fish Out of Water

[Lisnaholic]

Nope, never heard. Neil Young's music has always been hit or miss for me and I haven't really delved into his discography aside from the select stuff I really like.

Chris Squire - Fish Out of Water

Well, Neil Young's discography actually works against him, imo, there is just so much of it: an artist can and should be proud of creating so many studio and live albums, but I think NY has gone to excess with all his archival releases.

This thread doesn't include the option I need for Chris Squire's Fish Out of Water - which is:-
-borrowed it from a friend once, played it a few times, totally forgotten any impression it may have made on me.

Roxy Music - Stranded

[Trollheart]

Actually it does, Lisna: that goes under the heading of "heard". So there's you own it, you heard it or you don't own it and never heard it.

Anyway, Roxy Music are a band of whom I have heard one album (think it's "Flesh and Blood", not sure) and have their greatest hits, which is, well, great. But other than that, no.

Hotel California - Eagles

[Lisnaholic]

My apologies for not paying attention to the options you made available to me, TH !

Yeah, Flesh and Blood was the only Roxy Music album I ever bought. I heard lots of their early '70s stuff too, but it wasn't until 2017, and thanks to MicShazam and grindy, that I started to really enjoy Roxy Music's live material, which I rate as better than their studio albums.

Hotel California - Eagles

Heard it, yes, owned it, no.  But as I shared a house with someone who did own it, the album was there on the living room shelf, available to me for years as if it were my own. 

Love - Forever Changes

[Psy-Fi]

Love - Forever Changes

Yes. I have a beautiful copy on vinyl I purchased years ago at a record show for $5 (USD.) It was used but looks brand new and turned out to be a pressing from the 60's. One of the all-time, must-have LP's for me.


Deep Purple - Machine Head

[Lexi of the Dawn]

Love - Forever Changes

Yes. I have a beautiful copy on vinyl I purchased years ago at a record show for $5 (USD.) It was used but looks brand new and turned out to be a pressing from the 60's. One of the all-time, must-have LP's for me.


Deep Purple - Machine Head

Yes, have heard many times. A classic proto metal/hard rock album. (I don't own any music anymore so all my answers are going to be "heard" rather than "own")

John Foxx - Metamatic

[Trollheart]

Nein. I was not an Ultravoxx fan, though I liked a few of their songs, but if I was then it was with Midge and not the Foxxy one.

Powerslave - Iron Maiden

[Lexi of the Dawn]

Nein. I was not an Ultravoxx fan, though I liked a few of their songs, but if I was then it was with Midge and not the Foxxy one.

Powerslave - Iron Maiden

Yes, I have heard. Not the biggest Maiden fan on the whole but 2 Minutes to Midnight and Rime of the Ancient Mariner are classic.

Talk Talk - The Color of Spring

[SGR]

Yes, I have heard. Not the biggest Maiden fan on the whole but 2 Minutes to Midnight and Rime of the Ancient Mariner are classic.

Talk Talk - The Color of Spring

I've heard it. It's quite good. It's a bit of a transitionary work, and I like their next two records a tad bit more, but it's still a great record. But really, looking at the album cover, I really think the album should've been called 'The Colour of Autumn'. 

R.E.M. - Up
