Hi Brendon I always get a buzz when you show Australia artists. I LOVE Paul Kelly he was part of my teens and I’ve aged alongside his amazing catalog. I saw him for the first time as a support before the support act to The Motels in about 1984/85. He’s a living legend in Oz. Sometimes called The Bard, sometimes likened to Bob Dylan for his rich storytelling style. The Angels also an incredible rock band from my youth. Amazing live. Greetings from Oz! 🦘🇦🇺
Brendon I just want you know that I am sorry for bugging you about Death Metal and Black Metal. I really do enjoy your videos. You are one of favorite Metalheads to watch on RUclips. I learn so much from your channel. Glam Metal Forever!! 🤘🤘
Andy Edwards was the drummer for IQ in 2005-2009. He has a cool RUclips channel as well. Looking forward to the High Fidelity video day at the record store. Thanks, Brendon.
Excellent finds! I am surprised you found some of those metal CDs. So hard to come by metal CDs these days. Great collection! And so bummed to hear Michael Ward passed. I am a big School of Fish fan. I had no idea. ~ Michelle
Great pick ups Brendon . Banshee great have that cd as well. Have to play it again It;s been a long while. SRC great band and fine album A gem to get that I have vinyl of SRC Milestones to recommend that I think you would enjoy. A classic to hunt down. TC friend
Greetings from Northumberland. Some cool finds there, you cannot beat going through the bins at a record store, ahh the memories! I've just git the new Black Keys album it's probably going to be my top 10 even after two listens. Also loving Sheryl Crows newun. Stay safe.
Hey bradan I just wanted you to know that I regularly check out your videos and I enjoy them I'm a big music fan to and came across a music store here they have been there 10 yrs didn't know it now I enjoy it 😊
If you are a fan of Crowded House, Neil Finn did a live album with Paul Kelly where the trade off on each others songs in stripped down arrangements. Nice stuff.
Bryan Ferry's Boys & Girls....along with Roxy Music's Avalon are the 2 best albums of Bryan's career & maybe the only 2 you'll ever need. Bonus: if you invite a lady friend over, trust me play those albums, like magic, they get women in the mood for some McLovin'
Great Heist! I have been wanting to dive into the Tangerine Dream catalog but as you said it is so large and I know my completist leanings. I have added that store to my list. Thanks
My favorite album is Stratosfear (1976). I recommend starting here or picking up a best of. The new album I bought Force Majeure (1979) is also really good and recommended. Find some used and go from there.
Been listening to Tangerine Dream for almost 50 years. The first 4 albums are challenging. I would not recommend starting there. However, the Phaedra (1974) to Underwater Sunlight (1986) period contains some really outstanding music. My favorite is Tangram. If you get into this, try Klaus Schulze next. I love most all of his.
AWESOME Dude! I'm doing a thing now if I come across something and I like it, I write it down and go search for what I'm looking for. Awesome videos, I watch all i can to pick up on new things. Keep em coming! 🤘😎🤘😳🤯🎸🥁🎤✌️
Thank you, interesting...Tangerine Dream discography is huge...My personal favourites from them are "Phaedra" and "Green Desert"...From oldschool electronic music and krautrock, there are also worth checking out early works from Klaus Schulze, Conrad Schnitzler and Ash Ra Temple...
Another great video! I love how genuinely excited getting new CDs is…even though you already have 12,000 plus! lol Just curious how that Frankie Miller sounds compared to the Rock Candy Records reissue. Is one better than the other? Can’t wait to see your experience video.
Glad you finally got an IQ album, they were regularly at the Marquee (UK) in the 80s along with Marillion, Pendragon, Solstice, Pallas, & Twelfth Night; all classed as ' Neo-Prog. Which kept the genre alive despite hatred from the music press. Get the IQ album ' The Wake' released on exactly the same day as Marillion's Misplaced Childhood, both brilliant albums😊
Don’t know if you know this or not but, Thunder was kinda discovered by Duran Duran’s original guitar player Andy Taylor. He also produced it. I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but Andy Taylor’s first solo album is called “Thunder”, which is a good rockin’ album that sounds nothing like Duran Duran. You should pick it up if you don’t have it.
No the Andy Taylor album Thunder came out before the band Thunder even formed. So there is no connection in the name. Also I do own all of Andy Taylor’s solo albums as well as his unreleased 2nd album Nobody’s Business (1989) 👍
I still have that Banshee album on cassette tape that I bought when I was in high school in the 80’s. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m thinking they were from Kansas City
As a long time IQ fan, hope you explore further. One of the best "New Wave of British Progressive Rock" (NWOBPR) bands from the 80s, they spearheaded the movement with peers like Marillion, Pallas, Pendragon, Twelfth Night, etc. They're still going, and their catalog is incredible. They only seem to get better through the years. They had a short more commercial 2 album stint on a major label in the late 80s with a different singer that I would go to last. Brilliant progressive rock, brilliant band, and some would even rank them higher than Marillion as the best British progressive rock band of the 80s - to modern day.
I have the same "thing" (sickness?)...if I have a Box or multi-cd set...I will eventually buy the original, as well. Sometimes, in reverse...if I have the original, I will buy some of the newer boxsets/multi-sets if they have fresh liner notes, booklets, pics, etc. ;-)
I wouldn't mind having Ponty's IMAGINARY VOYAGE from 1976. No doubt, Proggy at times...this era of Jazz Fusion combined elements of Jazz-Rock-Funk-Classical-Prog Rock. Interesting times. The guitarist on this , Daryl Steurmer, did time with Genesis & Phil Collins. I laffed at your rationale for buying Voices ("...ya know, these guys are gonna Rock"). That was my thing when I bought Aerosmith's debut back in the day. Never heard of them...they just looked the part. ;-)
I buy based on that all the time. It goes back to the late 80’s and 90’s before the internet was a thing and instead the only thing we had to go on was what the album cover and band looked like. I got very good at this back then and still use the rationale today…and it hasn’t let me down yet! 👍
I managed to get all of Frankie Miller's back catalogue, some are very hard to find and I had to pay a little more for them. But it was well worth it as he is a great artist and i have really enjoyed listening to his music.
I picked up that Boys & Girls CD a couple weeks back from my local Goodwill for $0.99. And bought Avalon by Roxy Music last night for $3.99. Like you, don’t have much anything else by them, but both records have gotten great reviews.
I’ve picked up 4 Roxy Music albums and 2 Bryan Ferry albums. I’ll be showing them as part of Wed. video for New Music Finds. Really enjoying the band and Bryan’s solo work. Always cool to find a band that’s been around forever and has a substantial catalogue and then be able to devour it all.
@@BrendonSnyderI’ve done that a lot the past decade with a number of prog artists. Always fun, but difficult to digest a 30-minute prog epic on a quick drive to the grocery store!
Another awesome video on cd coming out was it like your collection 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎤 i just brought a good cd and a fantastic band called leaves eyes new cd myhs of fate
Welcome to the world of the Wallflowers. I to own Bring Down The Horse. Others to check out are Wallflowers from 1993, Red Letter Days from 2002 & Rebel Sweetheart from 2005 all great albums. That's what i have in collection for that band.
Wallflowers are a great band. I think you'll like. Ive been very into Roxy music also. Michael ward also played with Ben harper for a bit. Great musician, he only played on 2 Wallflowers albums i believe. Rebel sweetheart is a really good one also
Hi Brendon. The U.S. version of the Angels ' Beyond Salvation ' is vastly different than the Australian version. Only three songs are the same infact. If you like ' let the night roll on', ' the dogs are taking ' and or ' Rhythm rude girl's please check out the Aussie cd. It's so much better.
IQ are great if you like neo-prog. Road of Bones and Frequency are my two favorites. Also, I highly recommend the newest Big Big Train ...it's my favorite of the year so far
Banshee was awesome I got 2 cd set first EP and race against time take em by storm reissued and the 2 latest. The band should of had many albums to choose from. Great band. Tangier another great
if you like tangerine Dream, Esoteric label did great re issues of some of their albums with bonus tracks, and so has Virgin. nice reissues too, great sound and liner notes.
@@BrendonSnyder even though I think you have done this a few times, after you do the whats on my shelf series, you could do a "ranking the albums" of the artists you have the most cds of,
Do you have a cleaning routine for the used CDs or do you just let them be? I find that used stuff often has a film of nastiness that you might not be able to see but can feel. I always do a 99% isopropyl alcohol wipe down on the outside of the case at least. And when I’m done, my cotton pad is brownish. It’s gross.
I clean as needed and it differs based on the CD and its condition. For the most part I don’t buy CDs that are that dirty that need cleaning. Most stores I go to change those cases out. But sometimes I find there is an album I want and the only copy leaves a lot to be desired and I might take a chance on it. Like you rubbing alcohol is what I use as well. It dries and leaves no residue like some cleaning products do.
If you are interested in getting into IQ, you might check out their more rock-pop sounding Nomzamo or Are You Sitting Comfortably?. For more prog sounding, I would recommend Subterranea, Dark Matter & Road Of Bones. ALL their albums are worth getting eventually. One of my favorite bands in the Neo-Prog genre. Happy listening!!
The IQ album you have was not originally intended to be released. What happened was there was a TV series called Live In London. This was broadcast then the show was released as a CD/LP/VHS against the bands wishes in 1986 on Samurai Records. What you have is the bands own re-release from 1992. This is mostly a live version of their well regarded second album The Wake. What should be stressed is that if all the IQ live releases were ranked this would be down the bottom, so do not be put off one of the best British prog rock bands on your first buy.
Highly recommended The Baby's box set. They have a solid catalog I only recently discovered after owning the compilation you just bought decades ago. It is reasonably priced.
IQ is one of my favorite bands. My favorite Album is Road of Bones there's a single CD & a 2CD set, I have the 2 CD set. But then again all their music is GREAT. let me know what you think of the live you just got as I don't have that one.
It’s only come on for me in the last year maybe but it’s starting to be an issue. I find myself needing more light to read as well. Unfortunately we can’t stop the aging process. Fortunately my hearing is just fine…long live rock n roll!
@@BrendonSnyder I find myself opening the frigerator when trying to read small print in my kitchen. And always wear ear plugs at concerts (Geoff Tate tonight, the current iteration of Queenssryche with Armored Saint on the 16th) and I avoid bars and cover bands.
Have backstreet symphony (only Thunder album I Need as it features there only us hit Dirty Love) Also have The Babys, Bryan Ferry, Foo Fighters, and Wallflowers.
