| Best live album you've ever heard? I am a complete fool.Of course the best live album is Bob Dylan's infamous Manchester gig from '66 released officially as The Bootleg Series Vol 4-Live 1966-The Albert Hall Concert.A double CD.Awesome sound of Dylan and The Hawks electric (basical... | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? Unsound I am expecting a copy of the Plugged Nickel week,it's eight CD's actually............... | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? I tend to find live albums just don't transmit.Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous was and is viewed as the high point of their career.If You Want Blood by AC/DC is highly regarded too....Likewise Bob Marley Live and James Brown's Live At The Apollo o... | |
| Your favorite obscure ECM album I'm not familar with ECM stuff (I think it's mostly Jazz,no?)-could some of the posters perhaps put some more description on the music reccommended.I tend to remember the covers are always good...............TIA | |

| Do You Understand Music? I think I'm with you Marakanetz-I like to challenge myself musically.I really cannot tell straight off the bat (not unless it really turns my stomach but that is usually stuff I find really derivative)wether I will like a piece of music or not.In ... | |
| Ambient / New Age Anyone? Ejlif-with regard to Riley& Reich I do state on my original post that they are modern classical....although they are very similar to Ambient in mood........... | |
| In Search of Beatles Rock but not Pop Cw-you were born the same year as me,I can understand your comments totally,I didn't really seriously listen to the Beatles till about 6 years ago....................... | |
| Ever wonder why things are screwed up? Although this story is not exactly in the same vein as Albert's I'd like to offer it as an example of everyday insanity from working life,sometimes when I think of this story it's seems even funnier than when it first happened,it is 100% true and ... | |
| Ambient / New Age Anyone? Chris my own opinion is that the e.p mentioned is the best of Boards Of Canada,their first album is good but not essential,their second album released this year is a pretty poor repeat of the first one.You've actually mentioned music I haven't hea... | |
| In Search of Beatles Rock but not Pop Cw-I suppose part of what I was trying to say is that in general the Beatles weren't a rock band.They could play heavy and they did ocassionaly but it was only a small aspect to what they did.They were amongst the bands who pioneered the rock era ... | |
| In Search of Beatles Rock but not Pop CW-I think you need to put what The Beatles did in context.However the big problem listening back to any music is that this can be difficult,consider that the music we are discussing is 30-40 years old!But I do agree with your points,The Beatles a... | |
| Ambient / New Age Anyone? Chris,There's quite a few that are ambient or modern classical or light electronica I would recommend...............................Harold Budd-LuxaSteve Reich-Music For 18 MusiciansSusumo Yokota-SakuraPan Sonic-AaltopirriBoards Of Canada-A Beauti... | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? Nrchy I think now you are changing the argument but I agree up to a point but the main themes of the album are about Waters life.I think Waters ego might be the main problem on this album but most of that is probably to do with the group dynamics ... | |
| Any "musicians" in the bunch? Oh, I play guitar mostly acoustic,badly and a little bit of electric that's even worse and I have a keyboard I can't play.Always been a frustrated musician and always will be.Slide guitar-Bruce Kaphan. |
