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?

I am checking out Phoenix right this minute. Opening track has a bit of a Deep Purple organ groove going. Thanks for the introduction.

Yeah...the sound is very evocative...brings back some memories.


Pat Benetar - In the heat of the night

10 yr old daughter wanted to listen to something.

Bruno Mars - “Magic”  is up next...
@ ghosthouse,

I understand your post. I haven’t listened to the (Live Album) for quite some time. It brought back a lot of good memories. In fact, it did not have the overplayed radio hits that most may associate with the band in their studio form.

I believe, I’m like you, in that the radio hits were not the bands’ best, or even their more enduring output. Why not, "Black Licorice" off of We’re an American Band. A stand out for sure that never really made the radio.

I believe my favorite studio lp they produced is "Phoenix", which may be one of their lesser known lps? I still think of them as a great band that never received the recognition that they should have.

Cheers!
Stanley Clarke, self-titled, from 1974.  Been getting into a bunch of '70's fusion lately esp. RTF and Billy Cobham.

Inside Lookin’ Out
...we know this music!

Always been a sucker for I’m Your Captain/Closer To Home, too.

Didn’t care for them much once they started having those Top 40 radio hits (e.g., We’re An American Band, Some Kind of Wonderful, LocoMotion...gimme a break).

Not saying they were defining for me.  That would have to be Beatles and Stones.
@stereo5 ,

I own the UK pressing on vinyl.

Something about this (art) involves me!

Cheers!
Grand Funk  "Live Album"  (lp)

If you didn't live through this era, it may be difficult to process,

Not for me!   WOW!

This very lp, in a lot of ways, defined me into what I am now as a child of the '60/'70s.

I hope others have similar memories? 


Suzanne Vega "99.9 F degrees"..

I bought this lp when it was first released..mine is an import.

This may be, hands down, THE greatest female singer/songwriter lp ever that never received the appropriate recognition!

Intricate, involving, ...still trying to find the right words to describe it!!!!!!!! A work of "art", no question about it!

It’s that good!


Finished listening to "Bringing Down the Horse"..

I wasn’t very impressed although it is a good effort.

(This is a (Capital) pressing.) I've not had great results with their choice of vinyl ...seems somewhat cheaper than most..having said this, after my pre-steam method then my US/VPI..it wasn't the deciding factor on my end-thoughts.

I have "Breach" in my US cleaner as I speak.
Lucinda Williams "Blessed"

Buckingham/NIcks

Nice Slaw - I have 1 CD by Gomez and love it.  Glad they have some vinyl.
Gomez  "A New Tide"  (lp)

Definately worth a listen  Check out  "Airstream Driver".

Happy Listening!
@uberwaltz,

I have their first two lps. They never fail to give my system a workout in a good way!
so far...

The Decemberists "The Crane Wife" 10th Anniversary box/lp 5

Alison Krauss "Forget About It"
@mapman ,

Not something I'd normally listen to. I do get the compelling nature of the music however.

Thanks for posting here. People are listening.......
cueing up my freshly US cleaned Jonathan Wilson "Gentle Spirit" (lp)..

You need it.............


Later, the first time on vinyl...

The Wallflowers "Bringing Down the Horse".. looking forward to finally hearing it through my tt!
Dixie Chicks  "Fly" (lp)

My only other DC album was "Home"...because it was the only one that was offered on lp at the time. It is a great lp! Superior songwriting and a more mature offering than "Fly", IMO. I had to go for (Fly) now that it has been on out lp. I have fun comparing/listening. Still a good debut.

Going to put on Robert Plant  "Carry Fire" in a little bit.
The Mutual Admiration Society  "The In Crowd"

This one sounded very tasty..just pre-ordered mine!
Love  "Forever Changes"  45th Anniversary/Rhino/from analog masters/CB.
REM -- Accelerate

Been catching up on the post Bill Berry version of REM.  Dig this record.
The Jesus and Mary Chain -- Damage and Joy

I Really like this album. Not just some old bags reliving history and cashing in on the band name by releasing substandard songs, it’s really solid material all the way through, even if more than a few tunes trickled out the past few years, making this a compilation of sorts. 
slaw, reubent,
Thanks for mentioning ...."The Cranberries "Everybody Else is Doing it,....."
I ordered the CD this afternoon. I don't have a turntable. Call it "vinyl-envy".
But it's been a while since Ive heard some of those tracks. Sounded great.

Nutty,

Too bad the Gardens had to be torn down. Was a nice old building. Beautiful facade. Also housed 2 sheets of ice used by youth, high-school and college hockey and figure-skating programs, covering the Greater Cincinnati Area, UC and Xavier. Was a great loss to those programs. I spent many Saturday and Sunday mornings there for youth hockey with my son. I hope they do something productive with the site.
reubent,
I forget that you are familiar with Cincinnati. We actually saw them at the Cincinnati Gardens. It was a killer show. It has since been demolished. Sorry if I misspoke about it being in Norwood. It was a only minutes north of 562.

arcam88, ordred a copy of the Triumph, In the Beginning disc you recommended. I had it on cassette years ago. Attended their show in Norwood Ohio.

effischer,
Bennet/Gaga is amazing. I mentioned that one earlier on this thread. Excellent recording.

@reubent ,

Glad it worked out. Sounds like you have a great record store there.
@reubent

That is so sad news!
I ordered my copy Sunday, guess I was lucky there
More so than some others like Dolores.
