The one track that is just so beautiful to me is "Gone Hollywood". I can't get over the chord changes, interaction of vocals and arrangement. These guys are just f***I%$G brilliant! gregduboc Intermediate Member Username: gregduboc Post Number: 153 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 5:41 am:    I believe we share some nice music taste together, Adam! Tom Waits, Supertramp... All stuff I listen regularly... There is something about Goodbye Stranger for me.... I just love hearing that tune! Just as you said, the chord changes, interactions and that unique sound. Yup, those guys are a huge influence for me. Thanks for reminding me of that!

Great stuff.

Two of the more commercially successful songs off of the 'Breakfast' album; but two of my very favorites! Reminds me of the soundtrack of days -- that are rapidly becoming a long time ago -- when during the summer of 1980 I had about the best time ever playing original tunes, with some good friends and musicians, all while being in a very creative, musical state of mind and being. jalevinemd Senior Member Username: jalevinemd Post Number: 756 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 8:03 pm:    "Even In The Quietest Moments..." one of my favorite songs. Could never figure out why it got so little airplay. jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 2235 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 4:35 am:    I loved 'Crime if the century'. Especially the track 'Bloody well right'. I used to play it at full volume at home to annoy my mum. Now I do it to embarrass my kids ;-) graeme groovelines Senior Member Username: groovelines Post Number: 546 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 2:59 pm:    We play a pre-service number every week at church. A few weeks ago it was "The Logical Song." Was a lot of fun.

A story of the rumour of a utopian place turned out to be B.S.! There's a moral to the story in there as I've lived and learned it and I'll be damned if I go back there unless I absolutely have to. groovelines Senior Member Username: groovelines Post Number: 551 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 9:47 am:    Hopefully you won't have to. Thanks for the tip, we're always looking for relevant material. (Sorry to have missed Zoso a few weeks back. Olie said it rocked.) jalevinemd Senior Member Username: jalevinemd Post Number: 759 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 8:52 pm:    Graeme, I always loved the heavy wah wah tone on "Bloody Well Right."
