| Do you ever wonder? Tiny Tim is a misunderstood genius. However he should not actually be listened to at all in order to understand this. The music is superfluous to what he is. Given this, I think he is way way better than Eric Clapton or the Beatles. | |
| Do you ever wonder? Yes Audiofeil, I do have a list for you. However I do not listen to (or really even think about) pop music, so it is jazz and classical.I cannot understand how Winton Marsalis or his brother ever could be considered great jazz figures. They are bo... | |
| Do you ever wonder? Phaelon: Are emotion and intellect really that separate? Wouldn't you say that profound emotion has enough depth to be analyzed almost endlessly? Take Bach, Coltrane, or Schoenberg for example...there is enough there to think about AND feel until ... | |

| How many versions do you have? If the question is how many versions of the same piece, I have 6 versions of Bach's "Mass in B Minor". The one I go to is the Herrewegge, even over the vinyl. | |
| Best "Wish You Were Here" I am actually not a rock fan by any means, however, Pink Floyd is a rare exception. I love just about everything before 'The Wall', and WYWH is right up there. Brilliant. All the later stuff sounds too corporate to me. I hate it. | |
| Recommended speakers for Shindo Cortese Shindo dealers often sell DeVore and Verity as a good match with Shindo. That's what I would get (and want to). | |
