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?

Oh man, ozzy, Quicksilver's version of "Pride Of Man" (a Hamilton Camp song) is KILLER! They were good live too, one of the best SF bands of the late-60's.
A couple of young singer song writers. Shakey Graves and Tyler Childers. Needed a break from the blues binge I’ve been on. 
"Quicksilver Messenger Service" in High Rez.
I love the Pride Of Man tune...

If the Saint Olaf College Christmas concert is on your PBS station, watch it .The best Christmas concert in the USA !
I watched the Brian Setzer Orchestra’s Christmas Extravaganza on TV. Pretty darn cool! Setzer is still not much of a singer, but his guitar playing is great, and his tone is awesome---nothing like a Gretsch White Falcon plugged into a vintage blonde Fender!
JS Bach Weihnachtsoratorium, under Nikolaus Harnoncourt, streamed from Qobuz, the European 16/44 streaming service. It is my favourite performance, and the excellent sound quality does it full justice.
Thanks Nutty.
Was going to search for your recommendation when the wife said it was time to keep our tradition of opening one 🎁 on Christmas eve.

My present?

I saw Styx at one time in my life.... around The Grand Illusion tour.

@ozzy

Interestingly enough, the very thing I love about these music threads... your post just reminded me that I wanted to clean my copy of Mannasas this weekend. Thanks! From that, I’ll sneak in a (tune of the day) here...

"Black Queen" off his S/T lp.  He is one of the great guitar players that really don't get the attention, IMO.
Moving right along, probably a past midnight vinyl session tonight

Live in Japan......Dokken.
