Also saw the Greendale tour...the album alone is only OK, but as a concept and seeing it live was great. I agree with you that Silver and Gold, Mirror Ball, and Prarie wind are great. Chrome Dreams II was only OK.sherpa Wrote:Fair enough - I was tired this morning - late night early kids combo.
You can't love em all and there ain't no problem with that.
Now if Neil could bring out a good album again that would be great. He's had some good songs since Sleeps With Angels but nothing stellar in any way. Kind of like the 80s string of album but instead of trying out new things he has aimed for bland uninteresting tunes.
Define "stellar".
I think the following are good albums:
Mirror Ball
Silver and Gold
Prairie Wind
Living With War (I think I'm in the minority with this one but I actually do like it)
I do agree that he has never matched the greatness of his 70's music. His newest album is pretty bad (sorry Neil).
