Right now the Roku Streaming Stick+ is about the best value to performance ratio for Roku devices, have not seen any lag or buffering issues. Also, 4K content comes through no problem.Key... | |

| Whats playing on your system today? REM -- AccelerateBeen catching up on the post Bill Berry version of REM. Dig this record. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The Jesus and Mary Chain -- Damage and JoyI Really like this album. Not just some old bags reliving history and cashing in on the band name by releasing substandard songs, it’s really solid material all the way through, even if more than a few tun... | |
| How does one (grow) as a music listener/lover? Love the discovery part of this, great topic! A good source for me is to cruise sites like Pitchfork monthly, looking for new releases.

| Catalog Completist? Well said @simao Add Weezer to my list. Should have sat out their last one (Pacific Daydream), but I just couldn't. Not like you can't sample these things via streaming either, which I did. Still will plunk down the coin on a physical copy, for ce... | |
| Catalog Completist? @jafant Definitely Metallica. Interesting dilemma though, you want a band to grow and not make the same record time and again, but damn it's hard to reach for some of the newer filler when the older stuff is so good. | |
| Catalog Completist? Good point, I had in mind still active bands that continue to produce, albeit maybe at a different quality level, but you'll buy regardless.But then again, I own multiple re-releases of Beatles, Zeppelin, Doors, Pink Floyd, etc. These record comp... | |
