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?

Well this week I've kind of run the gamut:
Randy Newman - Faust, Good Old Boys
Gentle Giant - Gentle Giant
Epica - The Classical Conspiracy
Strawbs - Ghosts
Within Temptation - An Acoustic Night at the Theater, Hydra, Black Symphony
Captain Beyond - Sufficiently Breathless
Nox Arcana - Theater of Illusion, Carnival of Lost Souls
Warren Zevon - I'll sleep when I'm dead, Genius: The best of Warren Zevon
Kansas - Masque

Just kind of a jumping around week.  After reading this thread, I'll have to go back and revisit some Procol Harum (although seldom far from my playlist), Cricklewood Green, Rockin' the Fillmore, So What (got them all night laundromat blues...), and I'll have to check out some of the names I haven't heard (or don't remember...) that have been mentioned.

@uberwalz - Definitely, I already listen to, and love, Lacuna Coil - just not this week.  Along with Eyes of Eden, Delain, Apocalyptica, Edenbridge, Tarja, Nightwish, Urn, Octavia Sperati, Theater of Tragedy, Eternal Tears of Sorrow...well you get the idea :-)  Mostly Autumn I'm not familiar with, but I'll check them out for sure.  Strawbs were really great, but they had some duds as well (Afraid I don't share your love of Bursting at The Seams - Now, Grave New World, From The Witchwood, Hero and Heroine, *that's* what I'm talking about!).  Not really a real fan of Sandy Denny's solo stuff, but...
If you haven't listened to Steeley Span you should give them a try.  "Portfolio" is a very good collection to start with.

@nutty - I'll have to check out Lucifers Friend and Mind Exploding.  New ones to me.  I'm also a big fan of Atomic Rooster, Audience, Renaissance, Genesis (think  From Genesis Through Revelation through  And Then There Were Three...),  Steeleye Span, Illusion, King Crimson (Lark's Tongues in Aspic, and Starless and Bible Black are favorites) and I love Dream Theater - all of their albums.  After Masque I think Kansas just kind of went downhill, but the earlier stuff was great! Just like with early Rush (Caress of Steel is really hard to beat), Tull (Aqualung and earlier).  So much good stuff from the 'good old days'.

And I listen to some esoteric stuff as well ;-)

I can relate to your DLR experience - I went to see Dream Theater about 3 years ago, in a great venue with exceptional acoustics.  We had just seen Bonnie Raitt there and she was glorious as usual.  We actually walked out of the DT concert - it was so loud, so incredibly distorted, it was unlistenable.  Vocals were just *barely* audible, and completely indiscernable.  Really disappointing.  I don't know why they felt the need to mix it like that.

Atomic Rooster "In Hearing Of" spinning now, following Uriah Heep's "Demons and Wizards".

BTW - I checked out some Mostly Autumn; Very nice!  Thanks for the info, I'll have to get some of their albums, any suggestions of top picks?
