And yes, I was at Maple Leaf Gardens the last time that George Armstrong hoisted the Cup. While I am not stuck listening to these albums now, looking at this thread got me to think about many albums that were the ones that topped my list in high school and university. Thanks for bringing back some of those memories.

Masters of Reality - Sunrise on the Sufferbus

So, strictly out of curiosity, how old are you?

56 this year. I was 13 when the Leafs last won. I took my two sons to Detroit Saturday (they are 24 and 20) to see the Wings - Pens, because we are not at all confident that we will have a chance in Toronto anytime soon.

Masters of Reality - Sunrise on the Sufferbus

nice pick...

I thought i remember someone on here shared my affinity for MoR.

And FYI, Goss is putting the finishing touches on an NEW RECORD due out August 24!

hellz yea :thumb:

Masters Of Reality Return With 'Pine/Cross Dover'
-Greg Prato, N.Y.

Although Chris Goss is probably best known for his production/engineering talents (having worked with UNKLE, Stone Temple Pilots and, most extensively, Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age), since the late '80s, he has been issuing albums as the leader of Masters Of Reality.

On the group's sixth studio release, "Pine/Cross Dover," Goss wanted to approach his songwriting from a different angle. The set is tentatively due Aug. 28 via Brownhouse/Mascot Records.

"It's really rhythmic-oriented. I called [drummer] John Leamy, and said, 'Get ready to play, because the drums are going to lead the way on this one'," Goss tells Billboard.com. "And they did. It's almost a jazzier, funkier Masters Of Reality. There's no acoustic guitars, there's not much 'Beatles' on this one. Which I'm proud of -- because I'm kinda tired of it!"

Instead, the group nods toward 'Presence'-era Led Zeppelin on "Rosie's Presence" and the Mahavishnu Orchestra on the improvised album-closing instrumental "Alfalfa."

Recording took place at the Hacienda in North Hollywood, where Goss also lived during the sessions. "It was engrossing to the point of a couple of months of waking up with my bathrobe and coffee, walking out to the back, sitting at the desk, and hitting play to hear what we did," he says. "I love that kind of focus -- there's no drive to the studio."

In addition to Goss (who supplies vocals and guitars) and Leamy, several other familiar names within the QOTSA axis lent a hand, including Eagles Of Death Metal bassist Brian "Big Hands" O'Connor and guitarist Dave Catching, as well as former QOTSA guitarist Brendon McNichol, among others.

^^^^ nice. Great Album!

I'll be honest, I have only ever heard "Sunrise on the Sufferbus" and the reason was because Ginger Baker (of Cream fame) was the drummer. I was/am a Cream fan and this album has such a great bluesy, Cream feel to it. "Ants In The Kitchen" could easily be a Cream song.

Ah, i see. Not a bad reason. Ginger's work on that record is one of the most impactful I've ever heard (for a percussionist). Dude is one of the liveliest drummers there ever was. With him, nothing is subdued, and nothing is 'plain'.

With or without Ginger, I think MoR is the greatest rock band in the world that few have ever heard of.
