| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? I've got 4 local listener-supported stations that I usually hit before I resort to the commercial airwaves, so I don't hear the classic rock over-saturation enough to care. But I get where you're coming from. | |
| Your favourite Christmas song....... slow: The Christmas Song, Nat King Colefast: Jingle Bell Rock, Randy Travis (if you haven't heard this, check it out) | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? markmendenhall, Albert Collins played a Telecaster (through a Fender Twin Reverb with the treble on 10 and the bass on 0--it was beyond piercing). | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? +1 for Redd Volkaert. As far as I know he just does covers (I've heard him many times, so I presume that's the case) but he manhandles a telecaster like nobody else. And it's rarely mentioned but he has a great baritone voice. I'm hoping to see... | |
| Carpenters rpeluso, I'm sure you can still get the original mixes. I would trust Richard Carpenter to remix the tracks in a way that is faithful to the original intent while taking advantage of modern technology. | |
| Sarasate Suggestion Shadorne, they were ALL child prodigies. And, FWIW, I like Mutter's playing very much. | |
| Bach Double Violin Concerto there's a vinyl CD of David and Igor Oistrakh playing that piece. There's also two movements (II and III) of them playing that same piece available on video. I haven't heard the LP but the live performance on video is very good. | |
| If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be? A Hard Day’s Night (Beatles, UK Stereo)Pet Sounds (Beach Boys, 90’s stereo mix)The Inner Mounting Flame (Mahavishnu Orchestra)Goldberg Variations (Bach/Glenn Gould, 1981 ) Late Quartets (Beethoven/Guarneri Quartet) | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? All things considered, I think CCR for several reasons, including their diverse American influences and their crossover appeal. I'm pretty sure a lot of country and soul/R&B fans gave them "thumbs up" and some even bought their records.If lon... | |
| ... POORLY RECORDED SONGS THAT ... It doesn't hurt my ears to listen to it, and part of the charm is the low-budget way it was done, but I wish "The Basement Tapes" (Bob Dylan and the Band) was better recorded. That said, I think Garth Hudson did a good job with the limited resour... | |
| Is it time to just quit? Sounds as if it might be time to take a break for a while. You'll know when it's time to return. Give your mind a rest and just enjoy what you've got until then. | |
| What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it? "All Summer Long," The Beach Boys. I still have it but I'd be afraid to play it for fear of damaging my stylus. I'm sure it was abused in the first few years of its existence. I have some of the tracks on CD and still listen to them occasionally. | |
| Greatest debut album bdp24, I agree about Jack's bass playing. You may know he was the principal reason Grace Slick quit the Great Society and joined Jefferson Airplane. It's a shame his bass part on the Electric Ladyland LP got horribly lost in the mix. I'd love t... | |
| Greatest debut album I can easily agree with a half dozen previously listed LP's. The first Hot Tuna album, while not a commercial smash, was excellent. | |
| If you could just pick one instrument that you think sounds best on your speakers I chose my speakers largely for the way they reproduce vocals, but I think piano sounds better (more authentic/convincing). Dynaudio Contour 1.3 mkII |
