·Actually I quite liked Queen back in the 1980s. The early work was quite good before they went to the shouty stadium stuff. Sometimes I think I may have been one of the few that really did like Disco. I also liked Led Zeppelin and Jefferson Aeroplane. Mostly though I listened to Broadway show tunes, classical and opera. There was a summer jazz festival a block from the house where I grew up in the 1960s and 1970. Santana was the warm up act for better known acts. Arthur Fielder and the San Francisco pops played the finale with fireworks.
Realized after watching the Blues Brothers I also do like elevator music. _The Girl From Ipanema_ has become one of my favorites.
Since this is pipe organ Tuesday, I should probably look for that recording of the star trek theme played with a disco beat. (Sadly the recording is not online, so I can not share it.)
If anything I think this thread has distilled the Ugly watch myth. There is no such thing as an ugly watch.

Community accepts differences while supporting all the same. And why wouldn't we? We're nice people! (Except you, over there... but we won't kick you out... yet!)

·Sure there is... for you, for me, but lots of other people like what we don't, and that's fine. We celebrate how we have the same passions, even when it's directed at things we personally don't care about.

Ugly can also be temporal. I used to think Geneve dynamics were ugly. Now I have two. Also felt the bond watch style was ugly and not for me. Had I only the foresight to get a couple and squirrel them away.
And yes I will admit I do have a few cocktail watches I find ugly. Not to mention a box of cylinder movements, but those are not omega watches, and do not count. Although I do see similar omega and Tissot selling on Goodwill for scrap value. So yes I will cede the point and show a page of Ugly omega watches currently for sale on GW at this instant. which are only interesting to me as they have an Ω and the word Omega on the dial. (not counting the one in the lower left as I already have two of those I call the "Twins" in the 'beefy lug' variation.
Edit: to correct spelling and note that the watches in this photo were effectively thrown in the trash and donated to Goodwill (Which is not the landfill.)

·Interesting as it may be on many levels, I always thought that the Omega Seamaster Montreal, a.k.a. Albatros, was in a league of its own when it came to ugliness...

·The Dynamic with the oval case, again too weird for me.
But both these watches wont be mistaken for anything else, and thats a good thing I guess.[/QUOTE]
Funny thing, I bought one cheap for the movement to fix another watch because I thought they were ugly. But then I got it and decided I liked it.

·Passion Play was my first live concert.
Stormwatch was the last concert I enjoyed although I went to a few more.
Last one was about 6 years ago and Ian had some lad doing all the work....
*Note to self, buy pristine vinyl and original Master recordings, not tickets to farewell tours.*
Summary: Passion Play was genius at the highest level, still get goosebumps at "Well-meaning fool" at the beginning of "Overseer".
About the only concert that you can't get a decent youtube.
Was that the one where Ian disguised as a roadie, the lights are on, the ballerina gone and while cleaning up, sat down at the piano and ripped in to the intro to "Locomotive" ?
I'm not sure why my memory is hazy, purple hazy.
What the f does all this have to do with ugly Omega's?
I conclude that the Albatross finished that discussion.

Fuzzy here too but I remember the start. Huge screen with the ballerina laying on her back with her head and face towards the audience. Not moving for a long time and you’re trying to figure out what you're looking at. Nothing but smoke and crowds and that giant flat screen for a long time. Then all of a sudden she starts moving. Then the rest is how you remembered it. I was 15 and in sensory overload.
Tull holds up pretty well across the decades. Better than some of these watches. (See what I did there? No derailment.)

Enter the flute.
