"Starsailor - I'm Impressed"

They've never been a band I've paid much attention to.
In fact, no. I haven't paid any attention to them to be honest.

But in October, when I was in Portugal listening to Vive Albuifeira FM Radio (I remember the name so well, as it was announced every 5 seconds, and the bloke said "Albufeira" funny), and a song came on (as they do).

I liked it. I liked it a lot. Didn't have a clue who it was by - they never said.
But I literally found out 15 minutes ago during the ad for their album - "Silence is Easy", which coincidentally is the song I had heard.

Annnnnywayyyyy, I just heard "Four to the Floor" on the tele a minute ago (which I'd heard a tiny amount of before, and some from, again, the album advert) - and it's excellent.

A good solid mix of instruments. Which is what I like.

So really, yes. I'm impressed. All in the last 20 minutes. By a band whose name had put me off for a while, even though I had no idea as to their genre of music.

Ah well. I really am considering buying their album.

Remind me never to.........meet you

"Swept New York a glancing kiss, to those that claim they know" is a line that always grabs me.

My personal fave is Stairway though. The solo brings me to orgasm.

Indeed, passes in a flash.

I just love the opening lines

'It was an April morning when they came and told us we should go,
and you turned and smiled at me, how could we say no?'

I don't really know what he's singing the rest of the time, it's just cool.

Of course, Kashmir, Oceans, Stairway, Immigrant Song, No Quarter, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (wonderous song) and In The Evening all rule too.

I've tried so hard to get my hands on that, but just can't.

So far it's either Ocean or Immigrant Song.
I've heard a limited amount of songs mind.

Not a bad choice, certainly. Brilliant solo. The song lasts over ten minutes but doesn't feel like it goes on too long.

Hang on, I've hijacked this thread.

Achillie's Last Stand

Zep rule.

I love Zep too much for my own good. Need more.

I don't know how much you've heard of their stuff, but if you could tell me your favourite Zep song you might be able to settle an argument for me. So please try.

Heh, I know.
I can't really judge the band completely, as I've heard a total of 30 seconds of their music. But they seem good enough. Of course, nowhere near as good as what I've heard of the Zep so far.

Led Zep rule. Starsailor just.......are there.
