1970's


I've heard some good 70's recordings latley. I orderd Grand funk railroed closer to home, I almost fell over dead. It sounded like they were in the room with me. Digital has the dynamics but anolog fools the ear and wipes away ear fatigue. So, what else am I missing out on, No Zappa please, just can't get into Zappa. How about Blondie?

Wow! The Tubes... I saw them once in concert. Quay-Lude. Still make me giggle when I think about him coming out on stage with the Elton John-style glass that lit up and spelled Quay.

Is their material still available?

GFR - Was never impressed with their work. Always sounded like they recorded in someone's garage.

70's stuff I've been listening to lately:

Pink Floyd - DSOTM (Saw them in concert)
Aqualung - Jethro Tull
The Beatles - Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Road (some of it late-60's)
The Doors - Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel
Steely Dan - just about everything, although Aja is their absolute best
James Taylor - Pick anything from Mudslide Slim to what is is recording now
Carole King - Tapestry
CSN&Y - Deja Vu
Bloomfield, Cooper, Stills - Super Session (actually circa 1969 or so)
Vanilla Fudge - Vanilla Fudge
The Young Rascals - Groovin'
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Most of the Motown Classics - Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, The Temptations, The Four Tops. Except for the Jackson 5 (YUCK!)

Cat Stevens - Foreigner, Teaser and the Firecat (Saw him in concert)
Hall and Oates - Abandoned Luncheonette (Saw them in concert)
Nektar - Remember The Future

I have a vinyl copy of Mama Cass' Greatest Hits. Some obscure AU pressing that sounds like s**t. Same as Hall and Oates Greatest. Another POS. Amazingly disappointing.

I use both alternately for cartridge alignment.

Thanks TIC. Tracked (pun intended) down the Tubes first album as well as the Live one on vinyl and they're on the way. eBay is my friend (I hope).
