| My favorite song. When I was a kid, it was this:https://youtu.be/nmjPAb-v4NwUntil I heard "Maybelline". | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? Yes, you've said that a number of times here. Perhaps you are confusing the term "classical" with "classic". | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? I don't know if "classic rock" is a radio format, a time period or a music genre. Depending on how you define it, you might like or dislike it. If it includes folk rock, punk, soul, jazz-rock, garage and everything else that took place in that per... | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? Obviously, the term "classic rock" means different things to different people. But, yeah, hearing the same overplayed top 40 recycled over and over can be tiresome. Underground/alternative radio is gone, but you can still hunt that stuff on the in... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Iko-Iko, out of Miami. An excellent band, better live than on record, but still with some releases available on Amazon. Blues based swamp rock with a touch of folky psychedelia.The album "Shine" is excellent, as is "Protected by Voodoo". Highly re... | |
| If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be? That was difficult to do with no Prokofiev or Zappa. But I'm sticking to it. | |

Baden Powell - Canto On Guitar5 - OK, I’m going with Rubber Soul for my Beatles selectionI know it won’t be very p... | |
| ... POORLY RECORDED SONGS THAT ... How about "Surrealistic Pillow"? A great record but suffers from too much reverb, low levels, poor mixing, muddy bass and no snap to the drums. And the better the system, the worse it seems to sound. You can't make it better with tone controls. Al... | |
| Marantz CD-67 SE - Worth Fixing? I'm assuming that NLA is "no longer available"? I'm going to take it to Music Technology, but those guys are expensive! I don't really trust anybody else though. $75 for an estimate, and maybe $300 to fix. I think that's the max I'm willing to put... | |
| Best Songs To Sing In The Car To Embarrass Your Kids It doesn't work on all teenagers. We once picked up my nephew from lacrosse practice in my GTO, top down, cheap Jensen triaxials blasting Wilson Pickett at full volume. He loved it.We had to give his teammates rides around the parking lot. Even th... | |
| Best Songs To Sing In The Car To Embarrass Your Kids I wish I had a better stereo in the car. I put all my bucks into the home rig. Anybody have tube amps in the car? | |
| Best Songs To Sing In The Car To Embarrass Your Kids "Gloria" is a great choice, but I think I'd go for Van Morrison with Them.No Hermans, though. Zappa is an interesting choice. I might try that if I knew the words. How about "Electric Aunt Jemima"? | |
| After a (weeks) worth of listening... Last week, I started playing "Fathom This" by the Fathoms. I hadn't played it in a long time and I had forgotten how good it was. I've now played it 4 times in about 5 days, great sax, and of course, the fantastic guitar work of Frankie Blandino!I... | |
| My Fisher XP66c Speakers Went To The Dump Today These were XP66c. I don't know whether the "c" means ceramic magnets or maybe they were just the 4th iteration or tweak to the original 66. But they were better than "firewood".I don’t think I would have kept them all those years if they were that... |
