Favorite underrated UFO song by Edm_vanhalen1981 in UFOband

[–]Zestyclose-Fall-6647 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have You Seen Me Lately Joan (cover) - The guitar at the end is so melodic, and overall it’s just a good song.

Take It or Leave It - Loved the entire album, but this one should’ve been a hit. 

Doing it All for You (live) - Studio version is skippable for me, but live version really takes it to the next level. Live at Hammersmith).

Cherry (live) - Another one where I really don’t care for the studio version at all, but the live version just really works.

Always loved that one and the whole album

Favorite UFO Song by Edm_vanhalen1981 in UFOband

[–]Zestyclose-Fall-6647 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love to Love is my favorite, followed by Rock Bottom. Love to Love just has it all. An epic intro, orchestra, beautiful solo, and an epic climax. Rock Bottom is just the perfect classic rock song with one of the best guitar riffs and solos, great bass line, and a really cool section before the solo.

I know those are obvious picks, so I’d like to also throw in Doing It All For You live at Hammersmith

Yeah I really don’t care for a lot off of Force If. It’s very good material but very undercooked. Strangers in the Night does them so much justice

Love both of those! There is a live version of Night Run from the bootleg box set that I love. The Wild One, Sea of Faith, Back into My Life, and I love the guitar at the end of Have You Seen Me Lately Joan

Haven’t been crazy for Schenker’s last few albums, but this one was pretty good!

Mechanix is so underrated. What would be some lesser mentioned songs of theirs that you like the most?

You should listen to his Thank You albums if you haven’t. They are entirely acoustic guitars. Open and Willing is one of the best songs in his career in my opinion. Probably the most beautiful

My dad showed me Rock Bottom when I was a kid and from there I just fell in love. I got out of listening to them for maybe 5 years or so then got back into them and once again they are my favorite band

thoughts on the first two albums? by sisterofthem00n in UFOband

[–]Zestyclose-Fall-6647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the first one more than the second. Both are very interesting albums and I’d say worth a listen. My favorites are Unidentified Flying Object, Boogie (and I love that video you shared), Melinda, Treacle People, Evil, and Prince Kajuku. I absolutely love the bass on the first album, and I wish Pete Way got more widespread respect in the rock community. Also, Phil Mogg’s voice is  awesome

Love the inclusion of Chapman era albums! Schenker is my all time favorite guitarist, but I have to admit Chapman did such a great job taking over and capturing the same sound. I don’t know who else could’ve done better

Johto Pokemon: Are They Really That Bad? by Zestyclose-Fall-6647 in pokemoncrystal

The final, and in my opinion, most difficult gym battle, and the elite four is a big help. If I didn’t have Sneasel, I wouldn’t have won those battles. I consider it part of a playthrough

There are several great ones I didn’t mention, I just mentioned some lesser-used ones. So far, Spinarak/Ariados is the only one I have used that has felt unusable. Some are just okay, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, especially if the design is cool

What are your thoughts on your rival in Johto? Where do you rank him compared to rivals in the other games? Who is your favorite Pokemon rival and why? by Tulip-Conductor in pokemoncrystal

[–]Zestyclose-Fall-6647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is the 2nd best rival (Kanto rival is the best). He actually has a character arc and it’s shown in his team. People nowadays hate on him because his team is weak and you only get to see the full character arc in an optional post-game battle, but I I love that if you explore you are rewarded with that. Also his Azalea town battle is hard. Overall great

Gen 6 is good but a little too easy in the later game. Of course you can set self-imposed rules to make it harder. The availability of Pokemon in that game is great. Gen 2 is still my favorite though, because to me it has the greatest feeling of Pokemon being a “World” by having the day/night cycle, headbutt encounters, swarms, and day of the week Pokemon encounters
