Whats playing on your system today?


Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.

I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....

Then I pulled out "Gamma". 
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....

Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

I downloaded the Continental Drifters, "Vermillion" last night. Listened this morning. I like it a lot. Going to give it a few more spins over the next few days.

Also this morning...Ambrosia, "One Eighty ".

rubent, 

Unfortunately did not catch the show. In fact, I was not aware he was even performing in the area. Huge mistake on my part. Was there an opening act?

I saw Steve Morse there a few years back.  

I should consider going the Dayton event. 

asvjerry, 

I watched the YouTube link for Deadmau5. It is a great show and the song is fantastic as well. Never hear of the artist prior to your post. Yes, artist! Thanks for the recommendation. 

Hello tfl303,

I took your advice and listed to Duke Elington, "Live at Newport". I did enjoy every minute. Very nice recording.

Moxy, S/T.
This one features session guitarist Tommy Bolin and Gil Moore who went onto to form Triumph. Here is a cut. "Moon Rider".

slaw, 
They had some great music. Three piece band with some kick. I attended one show in Cincinnati. After every few songs, because Rick Emmit performed at such a high level, he would go back stage and get oxygen. Also I'm glad you hooked up on some quality vinyl by Blood Sweat &Tears as well. They are a tuff act to follow. Enjoy fhe music!

After listening to David Gilmour and Pink Floyd yesterday I was reminded of a song by Paul Rogers and the Law.  "Stone", and it features David Gilmour. There is other talent on the albumn as well, Kenny Jones, Pino Palladino and Brian Adams. 
"Stone" is my fav cut though. 

Aslo listened to a cut by Riot, "Shadows". 

Then a song by Tony Iommi featuring Ian Astbury, "Flame on". Great stuff.
Ian Astbury also has 2 solo albumns. Not great but worth a spin if your a fan.

Now I'm tracking "Just Tonight", by The Pretty Reckless, just for fun!

radfrad, 

Great set last night. I read that DP was going to be inducted. Took them long enough. Did Tommy Bolin get mentioned? I know Glenn Hughes was slated to be included.

Today so far I have listened to Max Webster. The albumn is called Universal Juveniles. The particular song is "Battle Scar". The song features RUSH on the recording!

Next was Hero Jr. A Grungy little band! Songs were a cover of the Beatles "Eleanor Rigby", originals "Bottom of the end", "Graveyard of mirrors"

radfrad, 

About 6 months ago, a local radio stagion, 89.1fm was discussing Chicago and Steve Miller and why they were not in the Hall of fame. Good to hear that Cheap Trick got the nod as well. Big fan of them as well. 

My system has been on 24/7 also. I've been busy as well.

boxer1,

I've not heard Mark Lanegan solo work or Do make say think. Need to look into it. 

Today so far:
Slash, "By the sword" featuring Andrew Stockdale.
Tool, "Sober".
Coheed and Cambria, "Welcome home".
Genesis, "The knife" and "Turn it on again". 
Dream Theater, "Illumination Theory".

N
So far today-
Tears for fears, "Songs from the big chair". Entire CD.
Judas Preist, Sad wings of destiny ". (Amazing) entire CD.
Bobby Darin, The song, "Mac the knife". (Played it twice) On CD. This is perhaps my favorite song ever! Any genre.

lezdam, facten, martykl-

A lot of good music mentioned this morning. Some of it I was unaware of and have been listening to it already, Thanks! Like "Stray Dog" and "The rides".  Both are great. I see Stray dog did a Beatles cover of Drive my car. 

I have BBM, definitely a supergroup. Moving onto Jeremy Spencer and Brett Lucas. 
Gonna see what their about. I haven't listened to Mr. Spencer sine the Fleetwood Mac days.

N



Zappa was a gunies!

And to think, The Rolling Stones asked Roy Buchanan to be in their band and he declined. Buchanan is one of my faves. 

Dont hate me but Prince did a pretty mean cover of a Beatles song. 

N
I spoke to arcamm88 last evening and he recommended I listen to Paul Kossoff,
"Back Street Crawler". Found a gem of a track with Paul Rodgers on vocals. 
"Molton Gold".

Today I started with Alice Cooper, "Hey stoopid". (1991)
It has a long list of guest appearances.  
Ozzy, Joe Satriani, Slash, Vai, Vinnie Moore, Mick Mars, Hugh McDonald and Nikki sixx.

Listened to "Styx Paradise Theater". I remember the albumn/vinyl had a picture on it. If your a Styx fan, as I am, I wonder if you ever realized that track 4, "Nothing ever goes as planned" is almost entirely "Reggae? 

(Oh, one more item. Rory Gallagher is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, yet. Go figure).

N
Akron, Indy, Ft.Wayne. That's as close to Cincinnati that Trower will be. I might make the trek if I can get a couple of friends to embark on the trip. Definitely ordering the new albumn. 

Today I've only listened to Joe Bonamossa, "Slo Gin".

N

Any ambrosia fans out there? Classified as progressive/soft rock. Big fan. Some of the recordings are better than others. I do recall some of the vinyl sounding pretty good. I pulled out some of my favorites today.

I listened to several CD'S but some of the tunes that are stuck in my head are-
"How can you love me", "For Openers", "Holding on to yesterday" and Nice, nice very nice". I really anjoy the vocal harmonies. 

N
Back on 4/6, just a few post above, I mentioned Candlebox. I know they are just another Seattle band in a long list of them. Not the best not the worst. But the song "Rain" stands out to me. It's got a blues groove that is different from the rest of their music. 

I saw them years back live at the Univercity of Cincinnati.  A fan tossed a Viking helmet with horns on stage. The lead singer duct taped it to his head and performed the next several songs. It was a good rock n roll concert, in my opinion. 

I found this link on YouTube for "Rain". It.was captured live in seattle.

radfrad-

Amen! I've ordered the new Trower from Amazon. But right now I'm spinning Ronnie Montrose, "Open fire"- Town without pity.  The Levinson has been spinning the electric utility meter into overdrive. 

N
Actually Mr. Sammy Hagar wrote the song "Bad Motor Scooter ". That gives us a perfect segue into his career.

N

Just dropped in the "NEW" Lucifer's Friend, "too late to hate". CD. 
Brand new music with the original lineup! 36 years in the making. 
Sounds Fantastic!

Also just received my new copy of Lucifer's Friend "MIND EXPLODING". CD
My personal favorite is "Fugitive". Check the bass line if you dare. 

N
Mr. Big, lean Into It. 
The Winery Dogs, ST.

And a song by Bad Company from Holy Water, "If you needed somebody".

Good morning-

So far- "Eight Star", Toni Iommi featuring Glenn Hughes. Guitar hero, vocal legend and excellent bass man. 

N
Hughes/Thrall, S/T entire CD. (MTV had a video from this albumn) Hughes was also in a band called Trapeze. If your interested, a link to YouTube for a compiation of Glenn Hughes' finest, vocal abilities. Its about 16 min.
