First song to "Blow You Away"...
I've been blown away a few times in my life. For Christmas one year my parents gave me a new 45 rpm release by John Lennon called Cold Turkey. I knew John was in the Beatles and I liked a couple of their tunes (Tomorrow Never Knows) but I never he... 
Sexiest Pop Song Ever?

Sexiest Pop Song Ever?
"Make Love" by Carmen Lundy. Make love, all day and all night. A love song from a mature and sexy woman. 
Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby?
Al Lobe. He was the good person who, upon reading in the newspaper of my parents' troubles with a developer's refusal to sell them a home, contacted my dad and became a straw buyer for $1.00. My dad, who had a good job and had served his country d... 
Live classic 70s Southern ROck......
Try on some Ry Cooder, the soundtrack for "Paris Texas". It's not live but you'll be glad you did. Maybe some Doug Sahm and his Texas Tornadoes. Also the Los Lonly Boys Have a great trip!

I'm Looking For the Best
I have it on good authority that the "Best" possible sound is obtained only after one has shuffled off this mortal coil. But it depends on the life one has lived. One place is analog while the other is ugh.. digital. But then you did say Ipod ready?

1st, most memorable recording...
In 1967 my Dad had a Laffayette(sp?) integrated amp, Fisher tuner, Sony r2r and a Garrard turntable with Heathkit speakers he built himself. When my folks were out of the house I ruled the system. I don't know about the system but when I put on a ... 
what else-$$ ?????
Vintage, contemporary and difficult to obtain obscure vinyl recordings. From jazz to early electronica and psychedelia from all periods, genres and cultures. It's got to be vinyl and as mint as possible! Nice cover art is a bonus. Of course one mu... 
Out of curiosity, where does everyone live?
Philadelphia, yeah, that's it, Philadelphia.
