| Live infectious funk jams....quality recordings James Brown: Black and Proud | |
| best artists in the last 15 years Hands down, Radiohead. Second, Tom Waits. Third, Red Hot Chili Peppers. Concerning the former, don't know of a veteran group that peaked, i.e. put out three straight hit albums, so late in their career. | |
| Best jazz covers of rock songs Miles: Time after Time | |
| Beatles covers: better than originals? Al Green: I wanna hold your hand | |
| Pros and Cons of built-in amps? I tend to agree with Shadorne on this one. Two members of my family were crack studio musicians (you would know their name and I wish to remain anomimous in this site) and I grew up around all the great studios of the world. Rarely do I see most "... | |
