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?

Listened to the band TKO, "Let it roll".
My copy was recorded from LP to CD so I got to enjoy all of the pops and cracks from my youth. I like the vocalist on this one. He reminds me of Roger Daltrey. 

On to Mother Love Bone, "Apple".
Seattle band who's lead singers death inspired Pearl Jam and Soundgarden to form Temple of the dog.

This morning I dusted off my copy of self titled Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies.
Their first albumn is solid and recorded very well. Great guitar and voclas on this one. Southern rock flavor on this effort. Here is a link side one, track one but the entire disc is good.

Dixie Dregs, Freefall. I was lucky enough to see the Dregs with Steve Morse at the Madison Theater in 2005. arcam88 and I attended the show together. 

Bulletboys, Freakshow. 80's Rock hair band. Memorable cuts are "Hang on St. Christopher", "THC groove" and "Talk to your  daughter". (3 stars on this dics) I would describe The Bulletboys in these terms. If Van Halen all had sons and they grew up and formed a band,,,, it would be The Bulletboys. 

Days of the New, self titled 1997 CD. Four piece rock band. No electric lead guitars, are used except for the bass, all accoustic. Sample link below if your not familiar.

facten, 

I tracked down Who's that Lady. It's been so long since I've heard that song,(or anything else from The Isley Brothers). It's great.  I didn't run the counter but that amazing guitar solo at the end has to be 3 + minutes! Im glad you posted it.

Black Country Communion.  Self titled.  Lp
Blues Travelers.    Lp
        This is not a live version.   But I have a Live CD
         I prefer the live version.   Mostly same sings
Rush ABC 1974.   Lp
  

Nuttty.  It clearly counts if you have seen Rush 4  times live.    A clear case of
"moral Superiority".  I have never seen them.   And as I was well aware of them in the late 70,s.  Only really just been really listening to them the last 2 years,
quite enjoyable.  Rush ABC 1974. Is live and their early sounding
It also has a great Bass presence.   A must for any Rush Band fan

Now playing.    Deep Purple.    Made in Euorpe. Lp
    my favorite. Is the Hughes /Blackmore.   Era

radfrad, 

I'm glad you are into Black Country Communion. It's a solid line-up.  If you like Glenn Hughes, listen to his solo albumn "The way it is". 

The RUSH A B C 1974 is very good. But I only listened to a download on Headphones. I should invest. RUSH was great each time I saw them. IMHO they were better when they/I was younger. The vocals were stronger when Geddy was younger. Then Geddy began playing the bass and keyboards simultaneously on the newer music. The stage productions were enhanced also. Drum solo's were the best, of course. 

Today- The Doobie Brothers,  Toulouse Street. What better way to start the day. "Jesus is just alright by me". I also want to dig out the Guess Who you listed. Been a while since I've listened to that. 

jafant,

I'm not familiar with Vivaldi. Perhaps its time to expand my horizons.  I'll take some time to listen to a bit of your selection as well. 

Thanks for posting !

SRV - Blues at Sunrise
Warren Haynes - Ashes & Dust

BTW, the Robin Trower concert a couple of weeks ago was very good. The old boy can still play and loves performing.  Solid back-up - it was fun to hear a real power trio again. Great venue, great show.
Due to another thread I had to play Dio-Holy Diver, check out the last track "Shame on the Night".  
Dire Straits - Telegraph Road

Today. it's the Cocteau Twins queued up in Roon...

Heaven or Las Vegas (1990)
Treasure (1984)
Head Over Heels (1983)

This is a discovery project. For the last year Roon and Tidal have been reporting that the Cocteau Twins are similar to artists I've listened to. 

So far, I've heard similarities: The Sundays, Dead Can Dance, The Cure, Kate Bush, Everything But The Girl. I like what I'm hearing... 

...so I'll keep listening until I veer off in another direction. 

I just renewed my Roon subscription for another year. Roon and Tidal are either the best thing that's ever happened to my music listening or negatively impacting my already too short attention span. 
Kansas, Two for the show.
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Hypnotic Eye.
Motorhead, Ace of Spades. 

N
Weezer, Self titled, on CD.
Weezer has some fantastic music. Easy to listen to. Don't take everything so seriously,,, seriously!

N

Van Halen,  Balance on CD. Great Van/Hagar effort but the recording sounds a bit bright on my system. Anyone else experience this on this recording?

N
Yup, Balance and 5150 are a touch too much via cd. 5150 is better via lp, not sure about balance.  
American Woman.  Guess Who.  Lp
Allman Brothers.  Enlightened Rogue.  Lp
Jack Bruce.   At his Best.  Lp
Stephenwolf.  16 Greatest Hits.  Lp

gshephardbuster, 

Thanks for the assist. Glad it's not just me, my hearing or my system. All of the Van Halen recordings, IMHO, could have been begter. I do like "Mean Street" from Fair Warning. It's a great song to play at high altitude. 

I listened to Aranda, Stop the World. (2012) I really like their energy. "Hey Sally" and "Satisfied " are great but the whole CD is pretth good. Recorded well. 

radfrad, 

Nice session. I'm working on my pool so I just listened to Jimmy Buffet! Later i think I'll revisit some of your selections. 

N
"Unchained" from Meanstreak is another crank it tune!                                           Now playing Moving Pictures, Rush via LP sounding superb!
Steve Perry, Street Talk. Not a bad first solo effort. Believe it or not, I actually owned a copy of this on pre-recorded Cassette tape! Sounded great in my 77 Olds, Cutlass Supreme. 350 Rocket engine with a 4 barrell carb. Kenwood 3-way 6x9's. Pioneer super tuner tape deck and 200 watt Kenwood 7 band amplifier/equalizer! 

N
Nutty
My family had a  Cutlass Supreme.  It was the car I drove when I first got my drivers license. It also had a 350 in it also   I punched it so much I broke the motor mounts the mechanic told my dad.    Lighter Blue in color/ blk interior

So far tonight

Allman Brothers.  Idlewild South.   Lp
Rush.  All The  Worlds A Stage.      Lp
Edgar Winter.    Shock Treatment.  Lp
AC DC.    Live.  Double album.       LP.      Playing now

This seems to be a mostly eighties thread... so..I'm surprised no one has mention Zebra "S/T".

This fits in perfectly and has all of the makings of a great eighties' lp and has some prog references.

I've heard the Triumph, the Scorpions, etc.. This is something different and kind of fresh.


radfrad, 

Mine was Firethorn red! Thanks for sharing your story. 

Faster61woman, 

Anything goes on this thread. I have the Zebra you referenced. Good stuff. 
Please log on more often. I'm interested in more of your catalogue. 

Today:
Firehouse, S/T- CD, recorded well.
Tesla, Mechanical Resonance -CD.
Great White,  Once Bitten-CD, one song "Rock me".
Def Leopard,  On through the night- CD, one song "Rock Brigade". Not a very good recording, but a great song.

I attended a Tesla/Great White concert when they were at their peak and still filling large arenas. 

Later on:
Black Sabbath S/T. One of their best and one creepy albumn cover.
Whitesnake, S/T 

What are you listening to today?
