Classic Rock Fans?
Nrchy, we have some of the same taste in bands. The early Leprosy Project stuff was truly untouchable. ;>) Cheers,Lee 
Classic rock album covers
"The Court Of The Crimson King" has always been one of my favorites also. There was a coffee house I was in some where in the early 70s that had a huge reproduction mural of both the full inside of the gatefold as well outside front and back. Anot... 
artists who most deeply touch you
For me it is almost always the folk singers and trubadour types. The gals and guys that touch me not only with what they say but how they say it. People like Danny O'Keefe, Gordon Lightfoot, Richard Thompson, Tim Hardin, Tom Rush, Joni Mitchell, E... 
Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever
I just thought I would mention Cleo Lane,Crystal Gayle, Kate Bush ,and for raw animal magnetism Tina Turner. Some other real beauties are mentioned above. How the hell can you pick just one, how about most beautiful 50? Do have fun with your fanta... 
I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah
Has anyone mentioned Ute Lemper "Crimes Of The Heart" or the Anita Baker discs? 
Danny Kirwan
It was neat to see Kirwan take a more important role in the band after Peter Green left. I loved his shimmering guitar sound and he worked well with Bob Welch while they were together in the band. Cheers 
Steely Dan - New release / June 10th
The new Steely Dan disc is very slickly played, fully homogenized, thoroughly gutted music without any of the spark, quirk, edge and interest of their best work(Count Down and Scam).Their evolution? has spawned a bunch of completely forgettable tu... 
I just puked
This is another good thread. The gross commercial use of this familar music is done of course to target our age group. Some of you, at this point, are in control of a large portion of the consumer dollars.The artists, as mentioned earlier, are not... 
I just puked
You know I wish they would put a bit of fun into this stuff. Like the Kiss tune "I Want To Rock And Roll All Night" behind a Viagra ad and Ozzy's tune "Crazy Train" behind an Amtrak commercial. There are alot of fun tunes to be used behind ads to ...

Herve1 check out the AMG (All Music Guide) site. They always have good little bit about artists and a pretty comprehensive discography as well.I liked his stuff with Fleedwood Mac too(especially "Station Man"). Cheers, Lee 
Therapeutic music:
Gunbei you are right, R. Carlos Nakai as well as Mary Youngblood are both excellent players and are the most widely known Native American flute artists. Nakai has many, many discs but my two favorites are "Canyon Trilogy" and "Mythic Dreamer" both... 
Therapeutic music:
In my earlier post I spoke of Miles, I should have mentioned specifically "In A Silent Way" and most of "Get Up With It"for release. I have written in earlier threads about my liking for Native American flute music for massage, floating, etc. the ... 
Therapeutic music:
J., I try to reach that state often. Some of Robert Rich's and Steve Roach's discs work very well. Rich used to have 'Sleep Concerts" where he would try to bring whole audiences to that state. Another disc that I really like is "Hidden World" by J... 
Guilty pleasures
The Who Live At Leeds "Magic Bus" fits the thread here well. 
I need more Funk
Very cool, the term funk seems to have some very broad parameters indeed. Funk means many things to many people. Cheers,Lee
