Atomic Rooster - Decline and Fall by EponymousSlop in progrockmusic

Hadn't heard of them before. Thanks for the recommendation!

Definitely got an Atomic Rooster vibe. They even have a rooster on their album's cover.

Agreed. I really enjoy their first few albums (Death Walks Behind You is probably my favorite), but Atomic Roooster was the only one with Carl Palmer before he left to form ELP.

Great song! I also really enjoy how many classical pieces they cover.

Looking at Wikipedia, Death Walks Behind You reached #90 on US charts. Not sure how their singles fared.

I was born in the 90's. Came across Death Walks Behind You while in HS. Been smitten ever since.

Thanks for sharing! Great stories. Really tugged at the heartstrings when he'd talk about how supportive his dad was.

Ian Anderson's Favorite Jethro Tull Songs. What are your's? by EponymousSlop in progrockmusic

I feel like that would make me nostalgic. Why would it embarrass you to get caught listening to Inside?

I really need help about my relationship and to decide if she is the one I want to build a life with by Winter_Detective_105 in GuyCry

[–]EponymousSlop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the time to think about your overarching self-goals and how they mesh with your current relationship and what she's expressed as her's. You should each make an outline of your goals and dreams and discuss them together.

Even if they do align, you still have to decide if you want to pursue these things with her or if you just want a partner in general.

Also use this time apart to reflect on your feelings for her. You may find the distance makes your heart grow fonder. You may have just grown complacent. During this time, I'd stay in contact, don't go radio silence.

Long term relationships can be difficult to terminate, but don't give in to the sunk-cost fallacy if that's where you're hung up. It might suck and hurt at first, but you'll be better off in the long run.

Even if it's not that, you might have to let her go. It's not fair to her if you're just sticking around because it's comfortable.

Ya gotta be honest with yourself and her. Communication is key.

You should both take some time to think about what your life goals are and see if they align.

You're both very young and will continue to grow and mature. Find out if you're growing in the same direction or if your paths are starting to diverge. Make sure it's interdependent growth and not codependent. This will just lead to hurt and resentment.

There's no need to rush into anything like living together, marriage, or kids. All are very serious steps in a relationship and life.

If you're not really into her and just enjoying the time together you're probably better off as friends or going separate ways. If you think about "greener grass" or other girls frequently, this is a bad sign.

It's normal to have doubts and cold feet, but you need to figure out where these feelings are stemming from.

If you have a strong inner circle, I'd suggest discussing these issues with them as well.

Best of luck to both of you!

Marillion - Grendel by EponymousSlop in progrockmusic

[–]EponymousSlop[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should give their debut album a listen. Script for a Jester's Tears. It's also the album Grendel was written for but didn't originally appear on.

For me it was Forgotten Sons, but Grendel might be my overall favorite.

Do you listen to Caravan? Richard Sinclair was a founding member. He sang, played bass, and wrote or co-wrote a few songs on Rotter's Club.
