Manfred Mann's Earth Band - The Road to Babylon

[@nomoremrniceguy8667]

In 1975 one of my stoner friends turned me on to Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Still to this day I listen to the album's The Good Earth, The Roaring Silence and Watch. Yes folks, I'm old as hell and still have all my vinyl albums....all 8000 of them!!!

[@LuvBorderCollies]

8k...Wow! I still have a small collection of 70s into early 80's. Bought a turntable about 20 years ago to make sure I had a device to still listen the vinyl. :)

[@johnherlan6875]

scratch scratch click scratch scratch click how we all hated that sound from vinal and now to hear it is so cool and brings back so many memories

[@antoniodias4718]

"Messin'" 1973 "Nightingales & Bombers" 1975 are excellent too!!!

[@ryanmurphy6690]

What do you think of Chapter 3?

[@antoniodias4718]

@@ryanmurphy6690 I think it's very good. Jazz-rock but in fact it was the beginning of MMEB moving on slowly to progressive rock and hard-rock and leaving a bit jazz.

[@jimmymadoc1]

back in the eighties, i would sit in the dark with headphones on and the light from early LED meters flashing at me . this album kept me sane but my ( then) wife thought i was stoned, instead of inspired. miss the 80's, don't miss her

Jim Boden I think it’s funny 😂

This band has been seriously overlooked; they are up there with Pink Floyd. Great music.

[@jorghagemeier1200]

Much better than Pink Floyd!

[@BeeBumper]

Uh yeah I like them but they are not in the same league. Manfred Mann was mostly into covers

I was born in 1992... But I love Manfred Mann's : THANKS DAD !

[@BeeBumper]

Awesome. Was he into Floyd and Supertramp too?

[@garrettgsf8849]

@@BeeBumper Very similar story for me. Born in 1992, but my father introduced me early to the greatest of the 60s and 70s, active and passive haha. After some journey, I now know how to appreciate this amazing music!

[@moodylicious]

This is a gorgeous song. But Questions brings me to my knees. And Starbird is amazing. I got this album new in 1975 or so? Listened to it in a damned sonic trance. Epic!

[@jean-renepirlet]

My favorite is Watch, but most people find this is their greatest, omg the gtr solo is completely insane

[@greanstreak04]

Manfred Mann is one of many gifts given to me by my mothers third husband Richard Hardesty. Me and my sister treated him so badly, but in the end I found out that he landed quite well and is happy. His musical knowledge and collected albums helped me to find a way to get through my very troubled teen years.

Loved this album since it was new. Listening to some of it now, Marillion's Marbles album comes to mind.

[@neilstern1694]

One band I wish I seen, but can attest to the roaring silence after a concert.

[@TheHereds]

Sitting right here in the basement listening to this album on dads old LP player. I first heard this song in 99...i was 4 years old and i can still remember the moment when dad put this record on!

[@jamesedington9126]

I remember playing this for the first time foe my step-dad he thought the start was stupid then once he started singing he changed his mind and loved this song and played it in his head as he went hunting.

[@polarbear2579]

I still love this song and band after all these years, but it seemed to me that this particular version was digitized too fast. So, I pulled out the vinyl, checked the speed of my turntable with a strobe, made sure it was right.......and it is digitized too fast. Maybe they made that mistake when they remastered it. But, once again, it's still a great song.
