Harmonies 'n stuph

[scottidog]

I have said it before, but I think Al has an amazing voice. Listening to (I think it was) Polka Your Eyes Out, he sings "Do the humpty" the harmonies in that section are incredible. So rich and full. And Since You've Been Gone. I love the doo wop!



Any other really great songs or parts of songs that impress you for their sheer musical talent?



And need I mention the primo drumming by our own Bermuda Schwartz? I love the drums on I'm So Sick Of You and When I was Your Age. Jon can really rock out! Ok, Steve, Jay and Ruben are good to. Oh yeah, and that Al guy.



I am consistantly amazed at the skill level these guys have both musically and vocally.

What? I am the only one who appreciates the actual music?

'Melanie' and 'One More Minute' come immediately to mind.



'The Saga Begins' also - it's just beautiful! I think it's Al and the band's best work to date.

I agree. TSB is what transformed me from casuAL fan to obsessionAL fan.[/b]

There are plenty of songs that impress me by the talents and everything. Every album impresses with the wide range these guys can do!



~definitely loves all the background in Since You've Been Gone~

I know I'm going for the obvious choice here, but I honestly think that "Frank's 2000" TV" is one of the band's best works.



And since the topic here is about harmonies, again I would push that right up to the top. The chorus itself is wonderfully complex in harmonies without overdoing it.

I found a Karaoke 'Since you been gone' and performed it last night at my birthday party at a local karaoke place! Woohoo! people were like, "who does that song?" hee hee

Well, happy birthday!



That sounds like fun. Did you educate them in the WAYs of AL?

I will have to re-listen to that. I love the melody, but can't say I notice the harmonies. <Queing up F2K>



Wow! Incredible. I hadn't really noticed before. Like I said, I thought it had a nice melody, but you are right. Amazing vocals. Al sure does good singing with himself! <Imagining being in a room with Al and clones doing 4 part harmonies.>



Is it hot in here?

[Cat_Barf]

I agree that "Frank's 2000-inch TV" is one of the band's best works. The harmony is really great and well written.



Probly the best accordion work is in "Everything You Know is Wrong" or on of the polkas.

The bass guitar in Yoda is awe inspiring.
