I figured it was about time for me to do a top 50 countdown again, and I realized I had never done one for Neal Morse, so here goes.
Note: This is not for ANY Neal Morse song...this is strictly for his solo career, meaning the albums he did prior to leaving Spock's Beard and every album he has done as a solo artist since (including The Grand Experiment, which is technically by the Neal Morse Band, but I think you all get my drift).
Anyway, again, off we go...
50. The Grand Experiment
Kind of a simple rocker, especially by Neal's groggy standards, but a fun as hell one, nonetheless. Always great to crank up and rock out to, and nearly impossible to not sing along to.
49. Back to the Garden
Another song with a chorus that you cannot help but sing along to. Neal's ability to write a catchy tune is on full display here.
48. Jayda
Regardless of your beliefs, this is a pretty gripping tune, about Neal's daughter when she was sick as a child. Gorgeous string work throughout this one.
47. The Man Who Would Be King
The 3rd part of the A Whole Nother Trip suite, Neal's acoustic playing, always a treat, is off the charts in this one. Great solo, and Nick D'Virgilio slays us with some fantastic drumming in this song from Neal's debut record as a solo artist.
