Fan Favorites: Diamonds in the Rough - Vol. 3 (International Edition)
Added 2023-10-31 23:28:54 +0000 UTCHi y'all! I'm pleased to present this month's Fan Favorites video. This month, we're returning to our favorite Diamonds in the Rough, but we're focusing on a more global perspective. The result is an eclectic and fun nine-song countdown. I had a blast with these songs, and I hope you do as well!

2023-11-15 17:44:19 +0000 UTCJust catching up on this. You said you'd gladly listen to the entire Bacamarte album straight away. Honestly, you should, but I hope you'll consider it for a future EPL episode as it is very worthy of that treatment. A lot of albums with "lost classic" status don't quite merit it when you examine them closely, but Depois do Fim assuredly does - every track on that album is top tier classic prog that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best work from any of the big six.

2023-11-14 16:28:54 +0000 UTCMyrath sounds a lot like Orphaned Land. I was going to suggest one of their songs for this but most of those had a lot of Youtube views higher than what was requested. But I did love a lot of these artists and I'm going to want to check some of these out more.

2023-11-02 18:38:56 +0000 UTCAbsolutely fascinating! Amazing music and love your reaction. I didn’t know any of these but was completely blown away by all of them. Thank you Doug, you truly help us discover lesser known music.

2023-11-02 09:33:06 +0000 UTCI'd love to see the good Doctor react to the title track of the album from which the Unitopia track came, The Garden. If he was to listen to the live version on their One Night in Europe album, even better. Alternatively, from their Artificial album, the track Tesla, again, from the live album.

2023-11-02 09:07:49 +0000 UTCGreat to have Doug hear iamthemorning. Their work is sophisticated and well worth diving into, for anyone not familiar.

2023-11-01 17:30:58 +0000 UTCHawkwind was actually the first band in which Lemmy from Motorhead played. But it doesn't sound like Motorhead at all.. It's psychedelic space rock. I'm quite certain you'd appreciate them. Their live album Space Ritual is probably the place to start IMHO.

2023-11-01 07:31:04 +0000 UTCThis is why I'm a Patreon subscriber. To see you react to lesser known but downright amazing musicians. Not surprised you were floored by Hiromi and her band. They are just killing it. Glad you listened to a hidden prog gem like Bacamarte too. I knew like 6 of these artists. Happy to have discovered the others.

2023-11-01 07:28:37 +0000 UTCI’m not sure…I’d like to learn more about Hawkwind soon.

2023-11-01 02:57:16 +0000 UTCMy entry (‘Madre’) bears correction: It’s actually sung in Turkish. Apologies for not being able to tell the difference between that and Hindi.

2023-11-01 02:09:55 +0000 UTCThe intro production is top tier

2023-11-01 01:50:10 +0000 UTCA proper roller coaster ride. I know that Doug has previously rejected Hawkwind submissions; I wonder if hearing Acid Mothers Temple will make him more or less likely to accept them in the future?

2023-11-01 01:38:50 +0000 UTCThis is great! I’m looking forward to seeing which, if any, get culled to appear on the YouTube channel.
