Heat Twenty Three: Battle of the Bands (soundtrack, singer, ticket)

[Comus]

Genesis:

Whether you like Gabriel or Collins era Genesis we should all agree that Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was a huge joke to prove that prog fans will like anything crap as long as it’s pretentious.

Goblin:

Best known for their Movie Soundtrack of Suspiria in which they did an incredibly good job these guys are pretty damn awesome.

The Animals:

One of the greatest things to come from Newcastle Upon Tyne, says it all really.

Tangerine Dream:

More Krautrock See: Neu!

Brainticket:

A bunch of Swiss, German and Italians bunched together doesn’t sound ideal, never heard it though.

[TheCellarTapes]

The Animals for me, an integral part of the British led Blues Revival of the early 1960s

Eric Burdon as a vocalist is one of the finest R&B singers to originate from any country.

And the bassist, Chas Chandler, only happened to arrange for Jimi Hendrix to be in a band with Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding,

Nuff said really.

Brainticket are kinda Krautrock-y, cept with a lot more psychedeliciousness.

I'm voting for them, so here's one of their tasty tracks for the rest of you called Places of Light so you guys can hear for yourselves:

Uh.... No?

And you should know better than to say "we should all agree".

I don't give post gabriel genesis any time of day tbh.

I think Collins era Genesis has produced some great stuff (but of course, a lot of crap also). Though they became more of a song band than an album band.

Domino: In The Glow Of The Night / The Last Domino and Home By The Sea/ Second Home By The Sea are excellent post Gabriel tunes but they were generally Meh after he left.

I'm voting for Tangerine Dream all the way. Been a fan for nearly 20 years now.

Right I'm going to bed shortly,

If by morning I find that Phil Collins is anywhere close to one of the best R&B groups in history, I'm giving the missus a Chinese burn,

You have been warned
