"Never Surrender"... very inspiring and not at all (dated)!
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?

slaw, I’m glad you enjoyed Tanita Tikaram. It’s not my usual guitar hero go to, but I like what I like. I try to keep an open mind. Thanks for the reciprocation of Kattell Keineg. She as fantastic as well. arcam88, I think Donald Fagan is a genius. ghosthouse and I discussed topic a while back. I like most anything by Steelay Dan. Countdown to Extacy is a fav. As for Aja, and Katie lied, I like both releases. However to reinforce what slaw might have eluded to, Wikipedia does quote this about Katie Lied..."Band leaders Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were unhappy with the album’s sound quality because of an equipment malfunction with the then-new dbx noise reduction system. The group has claimed that the damage was mostly repaired after consulting with the engineers at dbx, but Fagen and Becker still refused to listen to the completed album..." The album was reissued by MCA Records after ABC Records was acquired by MCA in 1979. Snowy White, "Midnight Blues" (2012) played with Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd I found a great Live video for this one, https://youtu.be/BlrtrP72Gdk N |
nutty, I've been listening to my new lp of Tanita Tikaram "Closer to the People". What a wonderful artist! I've been around long enough to know that, especially with lps, when one hears of an interesting, obscure artist, jump on it quickly! I'm glad I did because I'm sure this is unlikely to be mass produced. Pay back... The guy whose building my new phono stage, turned me on to an interesting artist... Katell Keineg. Her only lp was "Jet". I recently saw a sealed copy go for $100 on Discogs. Those of you who listen to cds, are in for a treat. |

Sweet "Ballroom Blitz" Grand Funk Railroad "Flight of the Phoenix" Badfinger "Baby Blue" Linda Rondstat "Blue Bayou" Joan Jett "Cherry Bomb" Blondie "Fade Away & Radiate" Peter Gabriel "Soft Dog" Cowboy Junkies "It's Heavy Down Here" Cake "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" Big Head Todd and the Monsters "Crazy Mary" Mount Moriah "Social Wedding Rings" Weinland "Autumn Blood" CCR "Someday, Never Comes" Cheers. |

Had an impromptu get-together of half of my music club tonight. Played some good tunes that turned into an Elvis Costello Love fest. Here are some of the highlights: The Beatles - "It’s All Too Much" long version and "Hey Bulldog" from Yellow Submarine Soundtracks LP The Bears - "Fear is Never Boring" Mark-Almond Band Live - "The City" Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express - "Compared to What" and "Inner City Blues" Smithereens - "Blood and Roses" Shovels and Rope - "Eric’s Birthday" and "This Ride" from Little Seeds Elvis Costello - "Almost Blue" from Imperial Bedroom (We’re Seeing EC this Summer) Elvis Costello - "Deep Dark Truthful Mirror" from the MTV Unplugged CD Elvis Costello - "At The Other End of The Telescope", "All This Useless Beauty", "Complicated Shadows" and "Why Can’t a Man Stand Alone" from All This Useless Beauty And the closer was a very Beatlesque "1967" from Adrian Belew’s Mister Music Head It was a great impromptu evening of music. Happy Daylight Saving Time to Everyone............. |
