worse entertainer or performer of all time??

Glad to see this thread resurface, I was just thinking about how many Hollywood actors belong on this list, especially after watching the movie "Unforgettable" last night and enduring Ray Liotta for over an hour and a half.

At the end it made me wonder, who do I hate more, Ray Liotta or Vincent D'Onofrio?

Rpeluso,

Will someone, anyone, please educate me to the value of this topic? It seems to me to be a free forum for anyone to display their bias towards others. .......Human behavior is ugly at time. This is one of those times.

Three is no value in the topic. It's just personal taste. There are other threads like this for wrist watches, Scotch whisky, automobiles, motorcycles and likely a dozen more.

It's just a way to share opinions with people we know and like here at Audiogon. Some of the posts here about music and artists made me laugh out loud although I admit mine was not the least bit funny.

I dislike TV ads too, I could fill pages about how bad some most of them are.

This is the first time, after all these years on the 'goN, that I disagree with something that Albert has written. I think that there is value in a thread like this. I think that the expressed opinions say almost as much about the musical tastes and acumen of the writers, as do expressions of likes.

I guess my reply was more a rhetorical answer to Rpeluso than fact.

I've learned from this thread and even amused by it, especially the back and forth between members.

To Albert Porter, I believe you are the Agoner with Soundlab monoliths, and a part/full-time recording engineer. If yes to the latter, then can you inform or enlighten us why the sound quality of Derek and the Dominoes' " Layla" blows.

I owned Sound-Lab speakers for more than 10 years but never was a recording engineer. I was the factory rep for JBL Commercial many years ago and worked with a recording engineer at a music store when I first graduated from college.

Perhaps the source of confusion?

I have "Derek and The Dominoes" on LP but no digital versions. The recording of Layla I have is both compressed and bandwidth limited.

Eric Clapton Unplugged and Nirvana Unplugged represent very nice rock sound, at least my LP copies. You may have to consider "Layla," like I do my old blues collection.

Frequently these old blues labels are musically primitive, at least from a technical standpoint. Many songs are over driven to the point of distortion. I listen to them anyway because they're important to me.

Sunnyjim,

Good question, perhaps best put to Acoustic Sounds Chad Kassem.

Chad has the clout to get master tapes like this and if remastered and pressed to his "Quality Records" standards it would be the best ever version.
