Traditional knives and records

Vince, I 've got a hunch that Dan is kidding and knows who is PMcC, but like me he may be no great fan (Ram being an exception imho).
When they split each Beatle became just another pop singer (no value judgment). PMcC gave some good songs (Mull of Kintyre :)), but also Live and let die... ;)

Well, I thought he might be kidding, but wasn't sure. Sometimes I mention something about Bogart or Cary Grant to people and they don't know who I'm talking about. But I should have known. ;)

Now i remember, The Beatles,, a British band which had some hype in the 60's. I didn’t care much, i was too busy at listening blues.
It wouldn't be the first time i missed something.

Dan..

I understand. I much prefer classical and jazz myself, but I do like the Beatles somewhat. None was as good after the breakup, but I admit to liking some of McCartney's music. I listen to country too (only the old stuff--Cash, Haggard, Hank Sr., etc.).

No idea, Gary. You didn't used to "drop acid", did you? :p

Not that I'm aware of, Vince. :) But this album is often classified as psychedelic rock, or one of the first examples of progressive rock, or as symphonic rock since there are classical orchestral components on the recording.

Something West Coast, but I am probably wrong. :(

The band is not from the West Coast (or any other part) of the USA, nor are they from the west coast of their actual country of origin.

Maybe we need to invite GE Jr GE Jr to drop in to this thread again; I seem to recall that he was usually able to quickly identify most of my "mystery albums". :)

Mainstream country died a pitiful death not long after my high school days (late 90's) but I grew up on the real stuff. Nowadays if you want real country and talent you have to get away from the mainstream pop sh...stuff.. and find guys like Tyler Childers, Colter wall,Sturgil Simpson,Charlie Crockett. And Aaron Lewis who was a heavy rock/metal singer but now puts out some good old school outlaw country.
I got the feeling he don't care none for the current crop of country "singers" either

Paul is my 2nd least favorite of the solo post-Beatles. "Live and Let Die" was awesome as a Bond theme though, and easily my favorite Bond movie outside of the Connery and new Craig ones. I'm fairly indifferent to most of McCartney and Wings songs, except the Christmas one which makes me want to hammer icepicks into my ears (but that's the case with most Holiday music).

You were probably one grade ahead of me (I graduated HS in '98), and couldn't agree more, although I'd differ with my opinion of most other Country as well. I hadn't even heard what would be considered today's "Country Music" until I moved to Colorado in '92, where it seemed like everybody listened to it - plus "Achy Breaky Heart" had come out mere months before, so that's what I was assaulted with from the get-go. Until then, my concept of "Country" was Willie, Johnny Cash, Dolly, etc. That stuff I could at least tolerate, although apart from Johnny Cash and Elvis, I'm really not a fan. I like some good rockabilly though, be it Johnny Burnette, the Stray Cats, or Reverend Horton Heat.

Haha, GT - I should wait until Tuesday Afternoon to guess, but it looks an awful lot like my old ‘Days Of Future Passed’ album. The first of several Moody Blues records for me.

Thanks for continuing to amaze me! :thumbsup::D:D:thumbsup:
I was starting to work on hints that I could give, but it's hard to give good hints that don't give everything away in the era of Google. :rolleyes: My recollection is that opening cuts of several albums are spoken poetry, so I was going to see if that could spark memories for anyone.
Here's a pic of the entire album cover, and a link to a Moody Blues hit from their earliest, pre-concept-album days that I really enjoy.
