Write-Up: I used to think I knew who Genesis was but now I know I had no idea. I've never heard this song before but holy hell... 23 minutes!!! This is quite the story that appears to cover some sort of religous message up until 11 minutes in and then I don't know what the hell it's about. Maybe that's when the acid kicked in while the band was jamming out this tune? I thought the illustrated video for this song would shed some light but that ends up weird too. The song has received mostly mixed reviews from what I can see but the album itself appears to have a higher approval rate. I'm just glad that I'll never have to listen to this one again. ====================================
==================================== [14th Place] { 1,250th Place } [70's][ 249th Place] Song: "Love Reign O'er Me" Band: The Who Album: Quadrophenia ---{ 1973 }--- Genre: Rock Opera Score:[4.1][2.1][4.1][0.3][2.2][3.2][4.2] = [20.2] = [2.885] Video:
Write-Up: Getting back into this we jump into a decent 70's tune that I somehow slipped by all my life without ever hearing. I don't mind music from The Who but I don't really go out of my way to hear their work. I had trouble digging up positive stuff about this song but it sounds like something that should have been popular in the 70's for sure. It has sort of an Epic feel to it but I don't feel like there is much story here with the repetitive lyrics. The more I listen to the song though the more it begins to charm me a little but... not quite enough for me to bump it from where it has landed unfortunately. ====================================
==================================== [13th Place] { 1,249th Place } [70's][ 248th Place] Song: "Victim Of Changes" Band: Judas Priest Album: Sad Wings Of Destiny ---{ 1976 }--- Genre: Heavy Metal Score:[3.2][1.1][3.1][1.3][2.2][2.1][7.2] = [20.2] = [2.885] Video:
Write-Up: A double whammy for the 70's and another kick in the chinballz. Sad Wings of Destiny was another cassette tape that I had procured in my collection in the old days that I don't think I ever really paid much attention to and I can't really recall if I ever listened to it honestly. Why would I collect something I had no intentions of listening to? I dunno really, OCD's maybe. Tbh, the only tapes I ever really listened to consistently were from my Weird Al collection. There is some fair shredding going on in this song but nothing really stands out imo. ====================================
