No Maiden?!? No "Behind Blue Eyes"?
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yeah I mean I'm 2 months late on this but what he said.

It's not that there's anything bad about your picks, just that uh...man idk there's a whole world of stuff out there and you've zero'd in on the same dozen or so "classic rock" gigs.

Go make a spotify account, listen to your recommended artists, where it suggests stuff related to what you like. You will find many bazillions of albums

I hope you don't mind me dragging this thread up because I am genuinely afraid that I'll forget the things I have to say.

Starless-- first of all, great, and thanks. I think 11:55 rests on the context of how much it's been building up to it? Like, you can see that the bass is playing to the C note for basically the whole thing (while the sax and lead play further away, but still around the C). Every phrase is built around the dominant C. But they really stay away from the G. Then it begins to escalate in earnest for a full minute (definitely starts before 11:00). Right before the chord change they're basically just playing with a minor third so in a vacuum it's not that interesting but they've been really holding off on letting the G note out after playing with the dominant for so long, when they finally do at 11:55 it's just that much more satisfying. At least that's how I saw it on a listen, maybe I'm wrong about it all. I'll stay away from pink floyd for right now cause I want to listen to this again.

One more thing about starless- after listening to it a few times, my definite favorite part is the progression at around 6:00, where the base and the lead play together around a major third (i guess tenth), up a step to a major third, up a step to a major third, up a step to a minor third, up a step to a major third, then BAM G/B turns into C/B at 6:45 and it just feels like the meatiest major seventh ever.
