Excellent UK album is one of my favs especially In The Dead of Night title song. John Wetton at his very best IMHO.

 Thank you for the reply. 

 Now I'm listening to the album, U.K. by U.K. It's to me for the first time.

 

 The album might be quite progressive in albums that were released in the years from 1977 to 1982, by quite famous bands that could be categorised as progressive rock bands, which make me like that, I mean, I like the album that could be quite progressive with a bit of the taste of jazz fusion, which would have put the album beyond my taste, if had been added quite more.

 Anyway, cheers!

 

"Quite progressive" - just a bit!

Alan Holdsworth, John Wetton, Bill Bruford and Eddie Jobson 🙂

For anyone who missed this. 

I'm afraid that, as an equal opportunities misanthropist and probably as a serious minority, Sheryl does absolutely nowt for me. It feels lumpy, there's no groove or syncopation and it doesn't have metaphorical cojones. 

And funnily enough I've just been listening to this:

No problem, good job we're all different etc. 🙂 Definitions of groove, syncopation and cojones are all subjective too of course, and I realise that I'm in quite a small minority on here liking the stuff I do. FWIW Primus do nowt for me (too shouty / overplayed / naff guitar sounds etc) and I frequently have this same debate with our PA engineer who loves 'em, playing their stuff at soundchecks to try to convince me what I'm missing!! Mark me down as dinosaur I guess 🦖

That's why I like 'em! And also why I don't like Sheryl - and most other bands where the musicians back a singer, as opposed to the singer being an equal part of the band (btw, I like brown sauce on my chips 😆). It probably stems from the fact that I don't really like singing as such - much prefer rhythmic shouting/rapping/chanting etc. And while I love what many of our more 70s oriented brethren might call "overplaying"(*), can't be doing with oversinging - whether it's the latest Mariah wannabe or opera... 

* I like jazz! including free improv!

Funnily enough, I thought she does sound like part of the band more than 'the singer out front'. The fact she plays guitar, piano and (on one song) bass only makes me warm to her more. We're probably polar opposites in our tastes - not a big fan of shouting / rapping / chanting stuff, although think we agree on oversinging so there's a start....😂
