| What song have you played the most? - "God Only Knows", written by Brain Wilson (music) and Tony Asher (lyrics), recorded by The Beach Boys (and found on their Pet Sounds album). Paul McCartney stated he considers it the greatest song ever written. It is included in solo piano form ... | |
| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system - Gordon Lightfoot: "Me And Bobby McGee". This recording stopped Bill Johnson in his tracks when Walter Davies (Last Record Preservative products) played it for him and I. Bottleneck guitar by Ry Cooder.- David Lindley: "Mercury Blues".- Stevie Wo... | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time Lots and lots of great nominees already mentioned, most of my favorites. To which I will add Holland/Dozier/Holland and Boudleaux & Felice Bryant. | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? @edcyn: Do you like the scent of patchouli oil too? ;-) Far out, man. Gawd did I despise the hippie era, both musically and culturally. And too many guys with "attempted" mustaches (thank you Loudon Wainwright !!! ;-) . Now, young girls wearing th... | |
| New In 2021 Thanks to you @jafant for the excellent topic for a thread! | |
| Drummers Talking About Drumming Wow! Some people just don’t get it.No one said Gadd was the best, or that it was so because Eric chose him. Eric chose him because Steve plays drums in ways that are more important to him musically than that of other drummers (Steve also solos ver... | |
| Singer Songwriters Rarely Mentioned By Audiophiles Lots of good ones already nominated (particularly Iris Dement, a national treasure revered by other songwriters, including John Prine, Merle Haggard, and Emmylou Harris). One conspicuously missing is Julie Miller, wife and collaborator of Buddy Mi... | |
| Drummers Talking About Drumming Good list, @onhwy61. You forgot about Levon Helm! ;-)The video is all about Hard Rock drummers, a very small portion of the drumming community. Drummer’s opinions about drummers is one thing; the opinion of songwriters, singers, and players of oth... | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? My vote for most over-rated album is Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. The title, the cover---Hell, the very concept---is beyond hokey (it was all McCartney’s idea, of course). Lots of mediocre or worse songs, too much sitar (ANY sitar is too ... | |

| Your last concert was to see who and when? Tonight, John Hiatt with The Jerry Douglas Band. Music making on a very high level. A master songwriter and stylized vocalist, a band composed of virtuosos, on a level with Jazz musicians. The band changed gears and turned corners like a highly-tu... | |
| American Audio @mijostyn: I fully understand your point, but with all due respect I was drawing a finer distinction. I made the statement "Bill Johnson instigated the high end revolution in electronics with the introduction of his tube designs in 1970" intention... | |
| Jazz Fans-- Name some of your favorite, less well known recordings Buddy Holly: "Jazz is strictly for the stay-at-homes."Vivian Stanshall (The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band): "Jazz, delicious hot, disgusting cold." | |
| Speaker impedance patterns - how to read them? The question posed by @tomic601 was the exact one Roger Modjeski asked when a potential Music Reference customer inquired about the suitability of one of Roger's amps for use with a given loudspeaker. He advised taking a SPL reading at the preferr... | |
