Biggreg, The satisfaction of non participation. Ha ha.

First one wins, lol. What choo got? |
Fantastic. Glad you all like music |
|
Went with symphony no. 4 to start. I have to admit, when it comes to classical, I have usually been a greatest hits listener, Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner.
But this was good, really good. Am I going to gush and say I am suddenly now a convert? No, but I thoroughly enjoyed this, and will seek out more.
Thanks for the suggestion.
|
Thanks to the others for their warmth and welcoming contributions. |
Big fan of Derek Trucks @johnto, love him on that album. |
Over 100 albums, they can't all be winners.
Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar is pretty solid. |
@bdp24 The Shaggs, ha ha. Ultimate troll job by Zappa and rock music itself, much like 1/2 of these responses.
William Hung earned similar status in the early 2000's. Is that going to be the next suggestion? |
@bdp24 if you haven't heard the title track to that Shaggs record, have you truly lived? |
@thepigdog not sure if that's another tongue in cheek suggestion, but have you seen the live performance of that album? It is pretty entertaining, I recommend it. |
Thought this would be a fun way to possibly hear something new, and to have a real time virtual shared experience.
Meh, thanks all. Seems like this concept fell flat, I'll own that.

No worries @isochronism , I was being sincere for the record. Maybe "review" wasn't the best idea, my intent was to listen and share thoughts, with the potential of leaving my comfort zone taste-wise, which is precisely what the Bruckner suggestion did.
So, mission accomplished then? Certainly won't argue this is a top 5 thread, though, ha ha ha.

Ok, "things I have learned"
Some of these classical pieces require attention and focus. Beautiful.
Dave Edmunds nails songs filtered through classic early rock influences.
Despite the shaky thread start, this has been worthwhile for me. Thanks! |
Definitely hear some Everly Brothers in here, Elvis, Danny and the Juniors. I like it. Of course after my last comment heard the Hank cover, lol.
Thanks! |
Nice! Get out of Denver definitely a good Bob Seger cover of an inspiration from Chuck Berry?
Like it. Never heard this before, thanks for the pick. A great slice of early rock interpretation. Do I hear some Hank Williams in there? (Worn out suits...) |
@edcyn, having trouble finding that exact reference (stream). Classical can be frustrating to stream, seems like it's hard to find the whole work in one, only snippets come up in searches.
I have to say though, have a YouTube version playing while I search (sounds like a rip from an an old vinyl) and I do like it. |
@edcyn, found that Mozart reference on Google play, queued it up now.
