yes, but it's prog rock without all that Tolkienesque fol-de-rol :wink:
And much the better for it.

I submit that the kings of Tolkienesque fol-de-rol were none other than Led Zeppelin. (And in the darkest depths of Mordor....)

Always good to hear the Night Tripper, even in his most Katrinaesque vehicle. So the stream is in stereo again, but there's a nasty buzz in the left channel, at least where I'm sitting.

That last Nixon clip always reminds me of the David Frye bit: "I accept full responsibility... but not the blame. Let me explain the difference. People who accept blame lose their jobs. People who accept responsibility do not."

Dude, it's fake jazz! VHM BTO, "Blue Collar".

That's just stealing from Tolkien. Tolkienesque doesn't actually have to be Tolkien. The most Tolkienesque thing I ever owned was a Rick Wakeman album based on the Legend of King Arthur. It was actually pretty darned good.

Hard for me to say I'd put this ahead of ELP, but.....

Not only that, you just dropped Rick Wakeman's name. I believe he was a Strawb before joining Yes.
ETA: Oops--that was Rod that mentioned the Caped Crusader of Keyboards.

VVHM for TOP, the song my friend liked to say was and ode to constipation.

Damn, I missed Sly and the Night Tripper. Co-BOS votes to them, and to the current Tower of Power loveliness, though that stero channel weirdness makes this sound like a demo version of the track.

Was he? I second Rod's comment. Wakeman's solo stuff is dee-LITE-fully fol-de-rolly. "6 Wives of Henry VII" and my personal fave "Journey to the Center of the Earth".

Yawn, WOS to Elton as he gets a belly full of ... beer. Not a bad track, but through oversaturation it's become one of my least favorites from GYBR.
-
HM to Elton.
ETA: Hee! I posted at the same time as Gaz. Oh, well- this oughta make Elton feel a little better. But, yeah- it's been played to death.

Mandatory sing along.

He was in a lot more than that:
Born in Perivale, Middlesex, England, Rick Wakeman's interest in music manifested itself very early, and from the age of seven on he studied classical piano. At the age of 14, he joined a local band, Atlantic Blues, the same year he left school to enroll in the Royal College of Music. He had his eye on a career as a concert pianist, but Wakeman was dismissed from the college after it became clear that he preferred playing in clubs to studying technique.
By his late teens, he was an established session man, playing on records by such diverse acts as Black Sabbath, Brotherhood of Man, and Edison Lighthouse. At the end of the '60s, his name also began appearing on the credits of albums by such artists as Al Stewart and David Bowie, and one set of sessions with a folk-rock band called the Strawbs led to his joining the group in 1970. After two albums with the Strawbs, Wakeman joined Yes, a post-psychedelic hard rock band that had attracted considerable attention with their first three albums. Wakeman played a key role in the final shape of the group's fourth record, Fragile, creating a fierce, swirling sound on an array of electric and acoustic pianos, synthesizers, and Mellotrons. Fragile was a hit, driven by the chart success of the single "Roundabout," and Wakeman was suddenly elevated to star status.

VHM Martha Mitchell. proxy of cairo, since she's soon to be played on-screen by The Streep.
BOS2 Geils!! Woo Hoo!!

BOS J. Geils.
Probably a proxy for Rod if he's off to dental land already.
-
[Yes, a post-psychedelic hard rock band
ROTFL!

Screamin' Jay Hawkins actually did a song called "Constipation Blues." I have it, if anyone needs an MP3 later.
Hope Rod's enjoying the J. Geils. I'll give it HM, never noticed how fine that (Wurlitzer?) organ solo is.
-
Ooh! BOS4 to Rev. Al's "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)," which I admit I'd never heard before UB40's hit cover version.
(Damn! Foiled!)
ETA: Seguing to "Stuck ..." is pure meta-genius on Dave's part.
-
Yeah, WHOA Dave. Locked up Al Green. What happened?
-
Oops! Al Green aborted--Dave calls a (very) audible!!
-
BOS3 the Rev Green.
oops! wha'happen?
Stuck in the CD Player with Al!

...I got the feeling that something just aint right.
Stuck in the CD player with you.

Stuck in the JINX!

Simple Minds. Always enjoy this tune.

Is this the Let it Be: Naked version of "Long & Winding Road" we're hearing? if so, I didn't realize KFOG had this in rotation.
-
Bonus! Steve Miller "Yo' Cash Ain't Nothin' But Trash".
"this ain't no circus and I don't need a clown!"

I'm thinking so, but it's the first time I've heard it on the air.
Was bumming because the contest winner picked Steve Miller's Your Cash Ain't Nothin' But Trash, but now that I'm hearing it, maybe this wasn't such a bad choice. Kind of a fun song, in sort of the same vein as the Edgar Winter tune we heard last week.

Meant to ask this trivia question Tuesday: What do the ELP and Dr John tracks from this set have in common? (I think this is the first time Dave's played 'em both in the same set.)

The Doctor John track mentions "brain salad surgery" in the lyrics, while ELP appeared on the album of that title.
That it?

Yup. It works for you, it works for me.
I'd never heard the expression before Dr John, and so was shocked when it turned up as the ELP album title. Come to think if it, I've never heard it used in any other context.

I'd never heard it used other than in those two songs either, but a quick google took me to wikipedia, where the entry (mainly dealing with the ELP album, no mention of Right Place, Wrong Time) starts as follows:
Brain Salad Surgery is an album by progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released in 1973 (see 1973 in music). It features cover art by famous artist H. R. Giger. Both the term "brain salad surgery" and Giger's cover art are covert references to fellatio (note the glowing object extending from the shaft on the cover).
Who knew? (Besides Messrs. Lake and Rebennack, that is.)
-
"Brain salad surgery" = fellatio??? Most inscrutable innuendo ever!

somehow related to the phrase, "whip some skull on me, baby"?
