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?

..also, I agree with you on "Free For All".

I use to own it. I think it was stolen decades ago. I'm going to look for a replacement tomorrow at a record show.
nutty,

You mentioned Triumph a couple of weeks ago. Well, I pulled out my "Never Surrender" and cleaned it today. Oddly enough, a local radio station played the title cut last weekend! I guess there's still hope?

I love this lp! Glad I didn't stop with "Allied Forces".
The recent death of Sib Hashian (RIP) had me listening to..

Boston "S/T"

then

Foreigner "S/T"

A big shout out to all the great suggestions here. I've come across so many artists I hadn't heard before and some from the past that I had forgotten about. Some of my new favs that I'm listening to today:

Judith Owen
Hope Waits
Orchestral Manuevers in the Dark
Christine Hitt
The Wailin' Jenny's 
The Keith Jarrett Trio

thanks again for the great suggestions.

nutty,

I think it does us all good to keep an open mind.

arcam88,

I call em' as I hear em'.. hope I didn't offend.

"Hair of the Dog".. a great lp IMO.
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,

Listening to Roxy Musics "Avalon" but geoff has me wishing I had some OMD to listen to. I had forgotten about them......great call geoff. Just ordered it.
Orchestral Manoevers in the Dark, Architecture and Morality. Timeless classic. On cassette. The only way to fly. 

I just got a new copy of the Katy Lied CD the other day and I think it sounds excellent.
Many of their CDs are extremely hard to find and if you do find them they're very expensive.
 What's the deal?
Mostly..I'd beg to differ on the MFSL "Katy Lied"...a major disappointment.

That's just my view.
Steely Dan
"Katy Lied" & "Aja"
I sure wish everything was recorded like Steely Dan!😎
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.
arcam88,

Thanks for the Beth Hart link.

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 - "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.............
