| Songs that have stood the test of time. I rarely remember "Don't Worry Baby" Tom, and I can't figure out why. It was definitely the high point of their set when I saw The Beach Boys at The San Jose Civic in the Summer of '64, my first live concert. When Brian got to and sang the line "a... | |
| Songs that have stood the test of time. Ah, The Band (from me? :-). They had quite a few I could name, number one being "The Weight". Timeless elegance, the songs lyrics passed between The Band’s three lead singers. I defy anyone to name another band of which that can be said!I began li... | |
| When will there be decent classical music recordings? Am I incorrect in assuming you (tatyana69) are speaking of orchestras, music written for them, and performed in a large concert hall? Well, there is also "Classical" music written for smaller ensembles meant to be performed in smaller venues. "Cla... | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You It’s not that Music From Big Pink by The Band took a long time to grow on me, but rather that I just wasn’t ready for it when it came out in early 1968. Some of my musician friends loved it immediately, and some particularly smart non-musician fri... | |
| Speakers for 15K - Discounts If you DO go with the LX521, you'll need that $10K you saved; a pair of them requires six channels of amplification! A better option is to get a pair of GR Research OB/Dipole Subwoofers (it and the woofer section of the Linkwitz are similar in bot... | |
| List of musicians changed career with better success... I hadn’t heard that onhwy61---that’s some guitar power! Duke’s a great player, having recorded and played live with both Dylan and Lucinda Williams, and many others.I neglected to mention Emitt Rhodes, who was a member of The Palace Guard at 16, a... | |
| Townes Van Zandt Road Trip Yeah Marty, but I can't remember the title either. "The Late, Great Townes Van Zandt"? No, that's not it. I watched it a couple of years ago. For some reason I don't like Townes as much as I'm "suppose" to. Steve Earle is his biggest fan, but I li... | |
| Soundtracks that you listen all the way through and it's all great. Anything and everything by Ry Cooder. | |
| All I want is The Truth, just gimme some truth... Good to hear stanwal. Max Townsend's designs are for some inexplicable reason ignored in The States. His Rock turntable is genius, his Seismic isolation products State-Of-The-Art, and his speakers legendary, though perhaps too heavy to ship over. ... | |
| List of musicians changed career with better success... While Robert Gordon is not considered an especially distinguished Rockability singer by hardcore Rockabilly aficionados (he’s kind of stiff, and without his own identifiable style. Get a Johnny Burnette Rock ’n’ Roll Trio collection to hear one of... | |
| Used Audio Research Preamp Options ARC pre-amps have acquired amongst audiophiles an aura of assumed superiority, don’t you think? Yet many of their owners never seem to be content, continuously and repeatedly upgrading. I've heard all the rationalizations, but you don't see it wit... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Steve Earle: EssentialC.P.E Bach: Six Symphonies (Pinnock cond.) | |
| Townes Van Zandt Road Trip Perhaps unrelated, but as long as you're in Texas you can visit The Buddy Holly Museum in Lubbock. I'm sure Townes loved Buddy as much as the rest of us do! | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? One reason for that sal is that Art doesn’t consider "vowel colorations" (as J. Gordon Holt coined them) particularly bothersome, or very high on his list of priorities in a loudspeaker. I couldn’t disagree more. The first good loudspeaker in that... | |
| List of musicians changed career with better success... Wow cz, that’s some bold assertions, for which I applaud you. To say that Harrison’s post-Beatles career surpasses McCartney’s or Lennon’s means you are speaking in artistic terms, not commercial ones. I agree about Harrison; though he put out som... |
