It reminded me of this, which in turn reminds me of a weeks holiday I spent in a caravan in Exmouth in 1983. How times have changed.

I like some disco. One of the prerequisites is that it has to have a band, so this gets a 3/10.
Prog rules!
When I was at school, an informed and longhaired fifteen-year-old had to make a tribal choice between heavy (Deep Purple, Robin Trower, ZZ Top), glam (Mott, Alice Cooper, Bowie) or prog (Yes, ELP, Genesis).
I was in the second group, though I did have a lot of time for Selling England by The Pound.
My problem with Yes was (and I'm not being provocative) that they exhibited so much of the gratuitousness that sixsmith mentions - and in the case of Tales from Topographic Oceans, about three days of it.
But I went through a phase recently of downloading tracks by bands I haven't listened to for thirty years, just to see if my opinion had changed. I discovered that there's about an album's worth of Yes that I think deserves space on the hard-drive, and Roundabout is high on the list of qualifiers. 8/10
(By the way, Pip and Paul, I've always found the Beautiful South hard to take too, although I'd never understood why they inspired nausea rather than indifference. Then I was having lunch with a music critic when the subject of the band came up, and my lunch companion nailed it for me. "God, I can't stand the Beautiful South. They're so wholesome.")
Got you in a dimestore. (Without researching it, who's doing the second vocal? It's as about as unlikely a Brit as you can imagine guesting with Alice.)

It reminds me of a bad Bee Gees tune, video was kinda cool though. 5/10

I was ready to give this a low rating because I thought it was some **** indie band, since most just rip off old music and repackage it as deep-artsy BS. Then I looked down and saw it was an actual innovative band from the 60s that I'd never heard of (or, at least don't remember hearing). So, 9/10.
If someone rates this low, you're a bad person.
One of my least favourite Beatle's songs, but it's still the Beatles, 6/10

"...if you weren't smart enough to get a pedophile in a dress to put a small amount of water on the child’s forehead, then what the eff did you think was going to happen?
I know excess is part of the Zeppelin charm but it seems to me that, in this instance, their intemperance negates the possibility of a great song, leaving us with merely a good one. 6/10.

Not really my style, 6/10.

I think if you make a signature, you should inspire some emotion in someone else. I also think it would be pretentious for me to think I could do that.
I hate rap. But, the lyrics were definitely more interesting than most rap I've heard, so 5/10.
One of my favorite love songs.

It got me in the mood for loud, angry, and political. And since I'm a '90s kind of guy. That means this:

Yes. Love this song. When I posted "Killing in the Name Of," I couldn't decide between that song or "Bulls on Parade," so a big 10/10.
Another protest song.
