| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? Nrchy whatever faults The Wall has (and it has a few imho)I don't see how you can accuse Waters of having not a lot to say-there a number of elements in this piece that he clearly hadn't explored before and a number that he expanded on,in fact as ... | |
| Any Opinion on DCC/MoFi CD Quality? I think to be fair you need to remember when these discs were issued,I've tended to find that most of the newer remasters do tend to sound better than DCC/Mofi (Floyd,Queen,Doors etc.)now but I think it's fair to expect that.Obviously I have not h... | |
| Best band never to release a truly great album? This is actually a great question,it's got me racking my brains which shouldn't take long.Of course I think we can all think of songs or groups of songs we heard live by famous bands that when we heard the official recorded versions seemed lacking... | |
| Best band never to release a truly great album? Of course the first Stone Roses album is a classic and widely accepted as such,in the Music For The Millenium poll conducted in 1999-a survey of critics and public had the album in the top 5,some 10 years after it's release. | |
| Doors remasters vs. DCC golds I concur that thr HDCD discs are excellent and an improvement on the DCC discs. | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? Twl and Rcprince were you the two old grumpy guys in the theatre box in the Muppet Show? | |
| Best Female Rock Group Most of the most famous and best women performers have tended to be solo artists,of course bands,musicians etc. have played a large part but they don't make your criteria-Kate Bush, Suzanne Vega,Joni Mitchell etc..So the best is easily for me....T... | |
| Are you spending your time at the computer instead Sorry missed this thread been listening to my system........................ | |
| The best books on music This has actually got me thinking,for the last few years my reading matter has been exclusively books about music and indeed have spent 21 years reading the damn things and I'm not really too sure there's too many I can recommend.Music biographies... | |
| Anyone read the Chord Dac64 review in HFNRR yet? Mick,I've binned my copy but Marcus has summed it up anyway.FWIW in the UK the reviews have been very good overall only Hifi Choice stating that there are other components that beat it at the price range.Certainly a unit I'd personally like to hea... | |
| Anyone read the Chord Dac64 review in HFNRR yet? Mick,This off the top of my head as I don't have the review in front of me-I'll put more detail later if I still have the mag.Basically it backed up similar reviews without being as ecstatic about it as Hi-fi +(Jimmy Hughes apparently takes his to... | |
| Copy protection circa 1987 I think it is a pertinent posting from Sd-whilst it's clear that copying material has always been a problem,I think now in the UK at least it is becoming a very major problem-the advances in technology and availability of material is reaching new ... | |
| What is the best Beatle Song A Day In The Life is somehow seen as as their defining moment perhaps but it is genuinely co-written,a rarity in their latter days.They wrote a few decent ones didn't they?......I love the opening melody of You Never Give Me Your Money | |
| SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners As far as I'm aware Rumours has never been remastered and it does have that typical mid-80's flat,quiet,dead sound that some early CD's have.A friend of mine commented recently the Rumours tracks on a Fleetwood Mac greatest hits sounded a lot bett... | |
| Reaching the end of a music collection Twl is 110% right.Nobody in their right mind could consider that the cornerstones of 60's music could be recreated hence modern releases in terms of the popular music forms simply cannot hope to be as original or as good as that.The mistake that a... |
