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?

Glad to hear from you. Getting kinda quiet on the thread. I only listen to one local non profit station. Class X radio. 89.1 FM. They stole the name from the "I heard it, I heard it, I heard it on the X"- ZZ Top song and the story behind the song.

They started out covering only a small area. Couple of cities really in Northern Ky. Now they have several places on the dial to tune in to depending on where you are in the city to get the best signal.  They are currently in the middle of their annual fundraising drive. Seeking donations and sponsorship. They have limited commercials doing all promotions once per hour, I believe. They play albumn rock. Deeper cuts form the classic rock we love. Now I'm ranting.

Oh and I really enjoyed the Julian Sas mentioned above.

radfrad -

Rainbow Blackmore and Joe Lynn Turner, Nice! Allso Dio was a killer vocalist for Rainbow and others.

Ever heard HTP? "Hughes Turner Project"? Not to bad. Think I'll listento a few cuts. 

I also listened to more Julian Sas, "Is this what they call blues". Also on his "Bound to roll" CD is a great Rory Gallagher cover of "Shadow Play". 

N
Julian Sas, "Bound to roll". Great albumn...listened to entire CD.
John Lawton band, (Uriah Heep) various songs. I like a lot of his music. 
It's Saturday night! What are you listening too?

N



Just listened to a cool little tune by- The Reverand Sahwn Amos, "Your gonna miss me". The Cd The Reverand Sahwn Amos loves you.

N
Next up- 

Jake E. Lee. Former Ozzy guitarist.  I listened to Badlands, "Voodoo Highway", (1991). I like " WhiskeyDust". 

Jake's newest band is called Red Dragon Cartel. I don't own it so I can't rate it.

radfrad, oblgny-

I listened to Humble Pie on the 16th. Love the band pre and post Frampton. I also mentioned Julian Sas above. Check his CD Bound to roll. He does a cover of "30 days in the hole" that is dynamite. Also covers Rory Gallagher, "Shadow Play" and Bob Dylan, "Highway 61 revisited". The rest of the disc is gret as well.

N
Billy Idol- Rebel Yell, "Flesh for fantasy l", "Eyes without a face". Just for fun. More 80's white hair rock.

N
This evening so far-
Bad Co., various songs but I especially enjoyed "Deal with the Preacher". 
The Temptations, various songs but I have "Get Ready" stuck in my head!
The Rasberries, because "Go all the way" ......rocks!

N
Tony Franklin played bass for the Firm when I saw them. White 80's rock hair. 
Fretless bass. He's got hystory.

N


 
I saw the Firm in Cincinnati when they toured promoting their first albumn. It was the only time I've been able to see Jimmy Page and/or Paul Rodgers live. Jimmy did play Kashmir! and other Zep and Bad Co. songs. I have photos of the show. Actual photos from back in the day when we used film. 

Today- 
Aerosmith, "Rocks" and "Get your wings". Love early Aerosmith. They were my first concert. REO Speedwagon was the opening act. 

N
LA Blues Authority 2. I listened to the entire CD however track one is exceptional.
"The boy can sing the blues".

Went digging through some CD's that I've not listened to in a long time. I came across this one. Name of the band is Charlie. Albumn-  No second chance (1976). Great song called "Johnny hold back". 
https://youtu.be/mWcfSQG2B40

N
I also listened to Roy Buchannon, When a guitar plays the blues. Love "Sneaking Godzilla through the alley". 

N
It's kind of a dreary day. Some rain falling. Listening to Anne Bisson, Tales from the tree tops.

N
radfrad- All fantastic choices. Love Rory Gallagher. Have fun listening today!

N
+ one on Prince- downloads only. Don't own any media. Used to have Purple Rain on cassette tape. Cover of "While my guitar gently weeps" is great.

N
Currently touring with the legendary blues man Glenn Hughes is Joanne Shaw Taylor. Check her out on the song "Time has come". I really like her style.

N
AC#DC, High Voltage.
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Couldn't stand the weather.
Wow. What can you say about Stevie Ray? Any SRV fans in the house?

N
radfrad, 
Glad you still enjoying Glenn Hughes and his vast contribution to the music community. Mr Hughes is getting on in years as well. I found Glenn Hughes radio on my (Sprint)Galaxy S6 phone!

Regarding Trower, he's old school for sure. And he's 71 years old. Still one of my favorites. You cannot deny that he has a unique sound. Thats what draws me in. I've not seen him live. Friends have seen him, in the same type of setting. However Davey Pattison was on board to lend some showmanship. I'm told he sounded fantastic ten and I'm glad you had a chance to go. 

So far today I've listened to Manfred Mann's Earth band, Angel Station (1979).
And I pulled his cover of Springsteens, "Blinded by the light". Much better than the Boss' original, in my opinion. 

N

I just mentioned this as one of my favorite albumn covers. 
City Boy- Dinner at the Ritz. It's been a while, playing it next.

N

radfrad,
Listening to Trower again. Man. Bridge of sighs is 40 years old. I guess one thing I like is how "BIg" his guitar sounds. Deliberate. Confident in his ability. 

Also listened to-
Van Halen, Balance 
Crosby, Stills and Nash, CSN

N


This am waiting for Time Warned Cable to arrive I'm listening to more Joanne Shaw Taylor. Cd- "Diamonds in the dirt".

The band is Marillion. They have quite the discography. Some of their music reminds me of early Genesis. Some cuts I like are:

From- Script for a Jester's Tear..."He knows you know".
From- Fugazi..."She Chameleon".
From- Seasons end..."Easter".
Fromm- Marbles..."Don't hurt yourself".
