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?

By the way you can find all three ELF albums on eBay at reasonable prices. ELF, LA 59, Trying To Burn The Sun.
If you like ELF also check out URSA Major only put out one album I believe but it's good. 
Hey Nutty,

What a coincidence. I just finished listening to "Squawk" from Budgie tonight. I wonder if we're the only two people in Cincinnati who listened to Budgie tonight?

BTW, I like "Napoleon Bona - Part II" too....

I have to give a shout out to my Sister Debby for my love of Budgie. I found an 8-Track of Squawk in her car in about 1975 and I've been listening to them ever since. RIP sweetie. I miss you.........

Listening to ELF now. Thanks for the recommendation!  It’s great.

Fleetwood Mac, Rumours. !! 40 Year Anniversary !!

Never heard of ELF either. 

On Temple of the Dog, do I hear a banjo on "Wooden Jesus". Correct me if I'm wrong.  "I'll cut you in on 20% of my future sin.

Because of Temple, we Spooled up Mother Love Bone, Apple. Great music!

Ghosthouse,  UK S/T, is not bad either. But I'd give Danger Money the egde. I believe we discussed them on your thread a while ago. 

+1 Audioslave- great also, and anything with Chris Cornell is usually great. Even
Zack Brown Band "Heavy is the Head".

Check out a 70's band ELF only put out three albums but all very good. The last one Trying To Burn The Sun featured Ronnie James Dio. Also Henry Gross Plug Me Into Something is worth checking out. 
My friends, the stars will just not shine upon you unless you listen to Audioslave "S/T" next..

Cheers!
Check out Mason Ruffner - Gypsy Blood another great unknown. Also  Roy Buchanan .
Rory Gallagher Tattoo saw him open for ZZ top in 1976 been a big fan ever since. Trapeze Medusa another Glen Hughes great saw him with Trapeze and Deep Purple with Tommy Bolin those two together were great.
Here is a forgotten albumn, Ambrosia, Road Island. Very good albumn.
The tilte track is unique and one of my favs from them.
 "For Openers (Welcome Home)

Happy Listening!

shadorne,

Thank you for your response. I can't answer your question with authority now, as I'm still (drinking in) all of their music that I did know and did not know.  (Does this make much sense?)

I will make this statement... I do think their first lp is one of THE best freshmen lps EVER!!!!


@slaw 

Awesome. Xanadu and La Villa Strangiato are my two favorite Rush songs. My favorite album is exit stage left - still can't believe only three guys playing in real time without any loops sequencers or anything.

What do you think is their best recording?
Last night's session consisted of James Brown/Live At The Apollo, Warren Zevon/Excitable Boy, BB King/Deuces Wild and Them/Them Again, all on vinyl.
NIN w/ David Bowie "Back In Anger" Vol 2. (lp)

I have both volumes but #2 is the Star!

ghosthouse,

Listened to my Universal (lp) pressing from maybe 10 years ago?  Sounds fantastic!
Street Survivors - strong songs and a great reminder what good musicians the boys in 'Skynryd were.  Sonics from this "Deluxe Edition" on Tidal are very good too.
I like "The Hurting" by Tears for Fears.
I love "Songs from the big Chair" ans as we now know, it is a Masterpiece of 80's Pop.
Follow that up with Someday My Prince Will Come. Miles Davis track 2 Old Folks and you are in heaven.  
donjr,

I love "The Hurting" by Tears for Fears. It's all excellent, but "Memories Fade" is probably my favorite track on the album.
Been listening to music through the new Raspberry Pi music server/streamer I set up today. Been listening to Radio Paradise stream and stuff from my old iTunes library. Last song up:

"Dirty Life and Times" from Warren Zevon's - The Wind
Big TFF fan here- donjr

'The Hurting' totally set the stage for 'Songs from the big Chair'
As we now know, "Songs" turned into an 80's masterpiece.
donjr,

I hear you!

I just cleaned and listened to Alejandro Escovedo  "A Man Under The Influence".

I cleaned it per my new/current method.  Outstanding in terms of the difference to the last time I listened.

Happy Listening!
kicking back........

Listening to the complete 4 lp box of My Morning Jacket  "Okonokos"!
Tears for Fears...The Hurting. I'm making up for lost time. I was too cool when this came out and I now realize I was sadly stupid to think that. One of the best bands ever.

mapman,

Voodoo Moon is a decent listen.  Here is another track that has some bite. 
"Too much Money"
