The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll
Some personal disappointments.The Waterboys circa 1986 were arguably the greatest live band on the planet,their range of styles was almost limitless-(U2 certainly took a lot from them but ultimately had more discipline and ambition ).Perhaps this ... 
More good news for SACD....
Marakenetz-DSOM is arguably the most famous record release related to Hi-fi (rightly or wrongly)ever, so this a major release for SACD.I wouldn't disagree about the lack of titles but 2002 saw the first few new releases by major artists on SACD ve... 
Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites
Oneprof I do say post Night for Queen,for Be Bop Deluxe I was thinking Sunburst Finish (the one most fans relate to....)which was '76 but yes Axe Victim is '74-apologies for that but I do find more and more on this list-countless ramblings (which ... 
Dylan SACD-good news.
Tomryan-of the fifteen releases only Street Legal has been recently remastered. 
Most underated albums......
Phasecorrect every single one of your list has been critically lauded and are very well known in the alternative world.They may be obscure to the mainstream/average music fan but they've certainly never been underrated.Sorry for raining on your pa... 
Dylan SACD-good news.
Well Brulee only time will tell.I have a Sony DVPns900 which can only be probably described as a moderate player (I'm trying to put this statement in context obviously there are better SACD players about) with and have found SACD overall perhaps t...

Dylan SACD-good news.
Patrick what is interesting is that the two major SACD releases the Stones one and this planned Dylan one aren't multi-channel at all.The Dylan releases will have a SACD layer and a normal CD layer so they'll play in normal CD players.On many SACD...

5 most recognizable voices in American music?
I think it's probably too wide a demographic to imagine what the American public would recognise today-I actually don't think coast to coast,age group to age group you would get much concensus certainly I don't think Johnny Cash would get into a t... 
where to find quality recording of Radiohead?
As far as I know there are no differences on audio quality on any Radiohead CD,there are also no SACD's as yet.The vinyl issue has been covered above.Radiohead are a very collectable band and the band themselves seem to take their packaging very s... 
Peter Gabriel Remasters?
I have the first five,a big improvement from the original CD releases. 
Impressions of the Stones SACDs
Paul read my post-the compilations were released at different times from the original albums and probably the mastering or mix were different(perhaps compressed for a more mainstream market?)-these new remasters will only show the differences that... 
Impressions of the Stones SACDs
I have the London Years and Let It Bleed-clearly the production is different on the same songs.I think there is a clear reason why-they've went back to the original tapes and the compilations were obviously produced different at the time (YCAGWYW ...
