edit to add: what's the Phish equivalent of Touch of Grey?

I'd say one of the following:

Bouncing Around The Room

Simple

Contact

Free - wasn't that Phish's only charting single? That would be my pick.

... gretzky waits in front of the net, kurri passes, gretzky scores! ...

hey, isnt the greatful dead a heavy metal band? i mean, they have skulls and shit.

Who would really think 'oh yeah, zeppelin, they do that song called hot dog.'

loads more than with carouselambra.

fwiw, hot dog is clearly the best song on that album fool in the rain? hah!

i love the "albums" that provoke arguments.

radio ga ga is a guilty pleasure for me. it was a controversial song because it was seen by many as a huge, poppy, commercial sell-out by the band, complete with a slick number one video on MTV. this was right at a time (1984) when no "good" music was being made by anyone, and radio was dominated by brit-pap. they lost a lot of "purist" fans when they released it who mocked it as radio ca ca (ironically, the original title).

... I kind of wish he had delivered more heart and soul, blood and guts, emotionally intense heart rending performances. I'm not saying he never delivered that ("Show Must Go On", "Love Of My Life" and "Who Wants To Live Forever" being standout examples of this), but given how great a singer he was, I wish he had reached this emotional depth more often.

personally, I think Who Wants to Live Forever and The Show Must Go On are weak tracks, although they are regarded by many as emotionally strong because of Freddie's battle with AIDS (during, and especially after). Love of my Life is a great tune, as is You're my Best Friend, also on A Night at the Opera, which, of course, has a little song called Bohemian Rhapsody. Somebody to Love is a really emotional tune that features Freddie's incredible vocal range.

But I would like to applaud AD first and Phishtaper second because my appreciation for Freddy Mercury is starting to tap out to the point I need to be directed to essential Queen albums.

I'd put A Night at The Opera, A Day at the Races and News of The World up there as perhaps the best set of three (sequential) Queen albums. Each has a number of emotional songs, often overlooked because of chart topping anthems like We Will Rock You.

My favourite Queen album is actually The Game, followed closely by News of the World. I think Save Me on The Game is the most emotional tune that they put out, but im partial to ballads written by Brian May.

But Queen is like the Beatles in that there are so many songs, and your thoughts about each can be very personal. And having grown up with Queen and having seen them live, Im sure I have a different way of looking at them than perhaps younger skanks.

I get Freddie as the pick due to technical range,vocal dexterity ... I just don't like him.

GASP!

Please place your laptop on your nose and go sit in the corner, and think about what you just said.

i wont disagree with robert palmer. secrets and clues are brilliant albums and johnny and mary is one of the best new wave songs ever released. the only legitimate knock against palmer perhaps is that he was too smooth, if that makes sense. it was a very sad shock when he died.

LMAO ... honestly, i hadnt noticed until you pointed it out, Kev. Elvis envy?

re: original post ... brilliant!!
