Now hair metal for Operation Mindcrime is really unfair and at best misleading.  :mad:

How about "The one album from the hair metal era" then?  At the time they were lumped in with the hair metal crowd even though they did derive many of their musical ideas from prog-rock rather than glam.

In any event the point is that Queensrÿche deserves to be remembered for Operation Mindcrime, not Silent Lucidity.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Our instructor, when I was in Seattle, said that Queensrÿche had played at his high school.  I had two younger co-workers with me who both said "Who?" :huh:  My boss, who has never left the 90s1, said explained that "They had that one big hit."  At first I thought he meant either Eyes of a Stranger or I Don't Believe in Love.  As it turns out he meant Silent Lucidity.   <_<

Shocking he would mean their actual big hit.  :P

Yes, I realize that now; but remembering Queensrÿche solely for their biggest hit "Silent Lucidity" is like remembering Chuck Berry solely for his only number one hit, My Ding-a-Ling.

My generation doesn't remember Berry for radio hits but for memorable movie usage so Johnny B Goode wins out.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Just got back from seeing Ennio Morricone. Pretty cool. When I first saw The Good, the Bad and the Ugly all those years ago I didn't believe I would ever see Morricone conduct The Ecstasy of Gold live on stage. :)

Solange - Don't Touch My Hair

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Been listening to New Model Army again... they seem fairly topical these days.
