| What do you miss about old school hip hop music and why? Ever since hip-hop was hijacked by the thugs, the quality of the music has suffered to the point where I mostly ignore it. It lost its originality a long time ago. The only cats that made their ghetto ghost stories palatable were Biggie, Tupac, an... | |
| Good CDs Bad Recording "Exit...stage Left" by Rush-catching them at their very best with one of the absolute worst recordings I’ve ever heard. I do not understand how a band with such a meticulous reputation allowed the release this terrible recording, yet they went bac... | |
| Led Zeppelin in Hi-rez Anyone know when the release date for Physical Graffiti is?Now that IV and Houses are out, PG is the one release I can't wait for. I'll purchase the subsequent albums only because I'm an unrepentant completist, but they don't excite me as much as ... | |
| LZ Reissues - HD digital or LP? Does anyone know what are the release dates of the subsequent Led Zeppelin albums? | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen Angus Young's guitar playing, though surely not to everyone's liking, is about as good as it gets in my book. He is so much better than so many other cats listed ahead of him it's ridiculous. And the fact that he blasted out of the gates with one ... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? Adam Duritz, lead singer of Counting Crows. The contrived sincerity and spastic, pseudo-soul searching mannerisms takes pretentious posturing to heretofore unforeseen levels. Watching him is as excruciating as watching the cast of "The Walking Dea... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? "This Masquerade" by George Benson (the long version). I don't know who played the piano solo (it was either Jorge Dalto or Ronnie Foster) but it was terrific. "Alfie" by Stevie Wonder, instrumental on harmonica. I have no idea what album it was o... | |
| Best Rock Drummers Ginger Baker ripped off, almost note for note, his famed drum solo "Toad" from of Art Blakey to the point where I'm embarrassed for him every time I listen to the song. I know many British artists did this and garnered incredible reputations for b... | |
| Rush fans on the board ?? I love "Vapor Trails". Sure it sounds like crap, but there are some pretty awesome tunes on it. To come back like that after a 5-year hiatus, man that was a powerful statement to make.I remember seeing that particular tour at two different venues ... | |
| No reforming of Led Zep apparently Led Zep were terrible at Live Aid. They made a good choice by not re-grouping ever after the passing of John Bonham.They made the right choice by not going for the cynical moneygrab. The Who made a travesty of their legacy with that abysmal Superb... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? "This Masquerade", the version written by Leon Russell and performed by George Benson from his album Breezin'. I'm referring to the long version which clocks in at 8 minutes and 3 seconds, not the radio edit that leaves out the stunning piano solo... | |
| Neil Young remasters Has "Harvest Moon" been remastered? That's one of my favorites. | |
| Explain the asthetics of Punk Bongofury writes-"Sadly, The Ramones never had a real pay day for their innovative work."Maybe I just don't get it, but from what I've seen the appeal must have been seeing these incredibly unattractive guys on stage playing the same chords song a... | |
| Records that made you reassess your music beliefs I was 14 and heard "Moving Pictures" by Rush for the first time. The level of musicianship on this particular album never ceases to amaze me. It still gives me goosebumps every time I hear those opening chords to "Tom Sawyer", the ultimate prog-ro... | |
| The Beatles albums finally all remastered Awesome!!! Are they going to do this with the Led Zeppelin catalog as well, or has it already been done?I noticed there was a Led Zep box set for sale at J&R Music World with the albums in separate cardboard sleeves. Anyone know anything about... |
