Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO

Check it out. Nice and crunchy. Fluffy not stuffy. Spiffy Riffy, And all that.

But probably just the first album - and maybe a few moments on the second album but they went pretty far down hill after that.  

Funny story. I heard "Moxy II" playing in a shopping mall Camelot Records Store back when it first came out in 1976. Never bought it, but remembered liking it. Years later I remembered it and started looking for a copy on vinyl (well before Al Gore invented the internet). Never found one. Finally, a few years ago I saw it available on CD and picked up a copy.

I didn't really remember why I liked it some much. It's enjoyable enough, but I can't figure out why the thought of it stuck in my mind for so many years. I think I'll give it a spin tonight to see if it does anything for me...
Well now we have three people admitting to listening to Moxy.
Medic! Men down!
Just read the biography of Moxy and it seems the first two albums are probably all that is worth listening to.

Bad timing and original vocalist problems scuppered them.

Now I know where I first heard of them.

Was in NME in England when they covered the up and coming wave of Canadian hard rockers in the mid 70,s.
Rush, Styx, Mahogany Rush, Moxy etc.
The first song on II has an upbeat hook that might have caught you.  But I don’t think there is any guitar work even close to what’s on the first album.
