DanS Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Regarding the lack of industrial or modern prog.the fact is, I dont find that stuff nearly as heavy as most of what was listed here. We lived/experienced a serious artistic peak with rock in the 60s/70s. +1. With the way everything is loudness maximized these days, the new music's not nearly as emotional as it was either.

stevie b Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Most I was thinking of are already on the list, so here are a few 2nd hand picks: Stealin' - Uriah Heep Cradle will Rock - Van Halen Right Now - Van Halen http://www.suggestingrhythm.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartRun Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 ...anything by ELP that isn't a Greg Lake ballad.

retrokeys Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 An off the wall entry here. "One Man Band" I always thought Three Dog Night's keyboardist, Jimmy Greenspoon never got enough recognition. Some nice leslie work at the beginning as I recall.

NoahZark Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Turbo lover - Judas Priest Ugh. As a HUGE Priest fan, I can't tell you how disappointed I was when they went "synthy" with the "Turbo" album. That whole album is one big stinking pile of poo and was especially disappointing because it came on the heels of two of Priest's absolute masterpieces: Screaming For Vengeance and Defenders Of The Faith. Some things just don't mix. Priest and keyboards are two of them. Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of how I feel about Rush going from Moving Pictures (a guitar band with nice synth touches) to Signals (IMHO guitar and keys not quite at home with one another). The band is pretty forthright about the "synth thing" coming to a head a couple of albums later in their documentary. Though Geddy Lee's soccer mom hair from the power windows era rocks!

orangefunk Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I always digged Mountain's Nantucket Sleigh Ride Great Hammond... the main break is a classic for us growing up in the UK during the 1970s as it was the main theme for Weekend World, a politics show.

The band is pretty forthright about the "synth thing" coming to a head a couple of albums later in their documentary. I found the big leap was Power Windows, which I found way over the top. I thought the songs on Signals to be still fairly organic keyboard-wise, except Subdivisions obviously. It was their last analog album as well, and even on CD that disc sounds much better than everything that followed after. I just got Beyond The Lighted Stage yesterday from Amazon.

DirtyRubberDuck Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Don't forget "Never Been any Reason" by Head East. I would personally even count "Stairway to Heaven" since it is filled with Rhodes in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adan Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 No one has yet mentioned Santana. There's probably several good candidates, but I'm gonna go with Hope You're Feeling Better, mostly for the opening riff.

The band is pretty forthright about the "synth thing" coming to a head a couple of albums later in their documentary. Yeah, the keys got over the top, but Grace Under Pressure is still a GREAT fkn album. And Between The Wheels is heavy as hell, especially live. I like Signals a lot, but theres a lot of dead weight on that record. Countdown.to the end of the album. Side 1 rocks though! I found the big leap was Power Windows, which I found way over the top.

mate stubb Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Don't forget "Never Been any Reason" by Head East. Really? Heavy? With that helium vocal and the cliched ooh-wee ooh-wee minimoog glide solo?

Tonysounds Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Im beginning to think this thread is borderline Rainman. There is not one unifying trait in these song suggestions, down to keyboards even being in some of them! I cant think of half of these things as heavy.
