Free Music Notes for Dan Fogelberg - Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: remembering a fantastic musician
Hit: 5 Stars
Most of us heard the sad news the other day. Dan Fogelberg passed away. He may have died in a tragic way, but his music is guaranteed to live on forever.
During his early years his music resembled the Eagles a little bit, and during the early 80's he reminded me of a toss between Toto and Kenny Loggins. His songwriting skills were extremely impressive. He knew how to write music that people would remember years later, which is where he's sort of like America, Seals and Crofts, and other soft rock musicians.
Dan Fogelberg was never known as being a monster hit on radio stations. He was too soft for the classic rock stations, and his music didn't quite fit in with any of the soft rock channels for whatever reason. He was sort of like Gordon Lightfoot in that respect, except Lightfoot did have some success at one point in his career.
I remember this Greatest Hits album as a child. I would look at the album cover and I'd actually think it was what I used to call "fancy restaurant" music, haha. All because Fogelberg dressed up and gave a serious look into the camera! Realistically, it's just soft rock/country rock. I have nothing but good things to say about the songs as well.
"Part of the Plan" resembles the Eagles, though the Eagles never really focused on writing music quite THIS catchy. "Heart Hotels" has a beautiful instrumental section at the end. I simply love it. "Longer" was the big hit. It reminds me of something Seals and Crofts would do, with instrumentation that some people like to make fun of, however, I'd like to see musicians today write something like that. They wouldn't be able to do it. They wouldn't be able to fill your imagination with images and memories that, for me personally, deal with the outdoors, climate changes, and the environment. It's what I call simple perfection.
"Missing You" reminds me of the rock band Toto, and has an amazing rock guitar solo at the end. It's really melodic and good and rocks out. "Power of Gold" is a perfect pop song. If you like this song, check out 10cc's "Crazy Love". The two songs are a bit similar if you ask me. I consider that a wonderful thing. "Leader of the Band" has extraordinary singing and a great vocal melody.
If you ask me, this Greatest Hits captures a man at his most diverse, and his memory will live on forever because memorable music does NOT fade away, ever.
