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’ve never heard of Hammock, so I started listening. After the second song, I sent links to three of my friends.

Thanks for sharing.

Tonight it is "The Odyssey" by Symphony X. On a good system it will just blow you away!

 

@normb  100% Agreement on Porcupine Tree.   Their latest remaster  of "Arriving Somewhere" is masterful

 

Ben Folds Five-ST(CD)

Alter Bridge-One Day Remains(CD)

Debut recordings and both have excellent content. Alter Bridge has 7 albums behind them and none are weak. If you believe "Rock" is dead see them live or at minimum give them a listen. A late Friday night vinyl session follows.

Ron Carter "Peg Leg"  Milestone M-9082

Al Caiola "Guitar Italian Style"  Pickwick SPC-3034

Definitely an over the top Steven Wilson fan here. Two thumbs (and two big toes) up for “Hand Cannot Erase.”

 

I first heard Porcupine Tree’s “Dark Matter” about ten years ago and was HOOKED.  I own all but one LP from them now, every one from Steven Wilson as well as all the King Crimson stuff he re-engineered/produced, YES, Gentle Giant, and more.

My wife’s NOT a rock fan, but she sat through several PT concert DVD’s with me - latest from “Home Invasion” and with few exceptions, really enjoyed the music.

I’ve been around musicians my entire life (me I play HiFi mostly and a LITTLE jazz drumming for relaxation), worked in a music store as a tech/roadie in the early 1970s, met a LOT of SUPER-genius musicians (Jimmy Buff-FAY used to come into the shop from time to time), Keith Emerson, Genesis, Kinks, Humble Pie and others as we supplied equipment for local shows and fast-forwarding 50 years I think Wilson is one of the most highly underrated musical geniuses/producers of our time, comparable if not equal to Brian Eno.

But, yeah, not I gotta go put on that LP again…

Today I host party and I play Jan Blomqvist, Majnoon, Sasha & John. Also displaying some Burning Man videos. my moonshine is in progress soon we get DRUNK!

Checked those names and none had played them anywhere on what's playing threads. I stream-em currently. 

William Fitzsimmons.  I just discovered him on Qobuz

and boy am I happy on did.

Listening to Perma Grin now and you’re right,  I do like it.  Although they are all over the place! Country/Hard Rock/ Punk all in the same some. There’s even ode’s to Zappa and the Ramones  In the first four songs.

@ghdprentice 

Good to hear! If you wish to explore more of his work (he’s involved in quite many projects) check out titles from “Porcupine Tree”. Experimental and progressive but very well done.

@designsfx 

Thanks for the recommendation of: Steven Wilson- The Raven That Refused To Sing…  more melodious version of King Crimson. Excellent album.

Palomar Parade - Sons of the East 

Some lovely tunes in there. Bit of folk rock. Just melodic sound and well recorded.
