Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
Capt369 I like most of the Jazz artists you mention also.However your comments on Dylan are based on some cliched terms referring to his fame or legend.Your dismissal of what he did with music is crude and largely wrong.If you have even a basic in... 
Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
Capt369's post shows the depth of thinking about music for a whole lot of people and I think that's fine but it's neither interesting or thought provoking in itself.Audiogon is filled with this level of comment time and time again on music.Dylan's... 
Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
I think some of you are wasting time talking about something that is a by product of your hobby it's called music. As Hdm states above you couldn't even interpret his comments correctly.I also think he's probably referring to his field and general... 
The Strokes - First Impressions Of Earth
Personally I think they've never really developed their sound nor their writing.I liked the debut a lot and they were terrific live around that time but the last two albums haven't done much for me at all. 
I've found the cd player for analog lovers
The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Meat Loaf and Pink Floyd. 
Absolutely worst LP that you own & enjoy?

Another one of those threads.:-)You really need to define "audiophile piece".Indeed I'd be fascinated to know why that would matter.And before we get replies screaming spoil sport please notice the replies are coming from different perspectives.So... 
Morph The Cat : Revisited
Not really on the sound but I do think it is better overall than the last two Dan albums. 
Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists
I never listen to the radio but are constantly finding new music. 
Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists
Well most modern music isn't heard on the radio or seen in the pop charts so maybe they didn't so bad a job.Maybe those who constantly moan about modern music don't actually search out something they would like.A very very common theme on here. 
Arthur Lee R.I.P.
Forever Changes consistantly appears in lists of the greatest albums made.Sad news about Arthur Lee. 
The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd
It's a load of crap as has been stated many times by everyone connected with the record.Don't waste your time,read a book or something. 
"Audiogon" Music Reviews at last
Zaikesman well that was the idea but the reality is Audiogon is what it is.................mostly about gear.We wanted to develop what music we reviewed (indeed some of it was very much Audiophile based)and get a balance between what Audiophiles m... 
"Audiogon" Music Reviews at last
Monotonous I'm afraid Lugs is in limbo at the moment for various reasons.It didn't develop the way I'd have liked and a change of job and a new baby has meant I no longer have the time to commit to the project.It may resurface but it would be in a... 
Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists
I wasn't dismissing Zeppelin indeed Zep are arguably my favourite band I've been listening to them since I was 14.Oh and the only country they didn't release singles in was the UK.They are massively influential but not as universally influential a...
