Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time
I clearly get "Does not require a great singer" clause, but still get highly irritated when train makes sharp turn. John Wetton isn't great vocal either, but would fit great King Crimson. If they hire a lady with powerful rock vocal similar to Joa...

Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time
gawdbless870 posts10-10-2016 10:25amI declare AC/DC as the best US Rock n Roll act. Well they do now have a temporary American singer.lolThe moment they hired Axl, they stopped existing for me. I can't stand his squeaky scream of a trapped rat.

Help, my system sounds lifeless!
For small kids go to basement, I'd suggest speakers with large foot print that are very hard to move. Therefore I bought Aerial 10t. They're children proof and very strong tonal balance -- as perfect as you can tune with active crossover, deep sou... 
Tube Preamp for around 2K?
For tubes I prefer BAT vk3i, but if you don't care about balanced design, than perhaps CAT JL1.They're champs!

Jethro Tull questions...
I've always thought that it's extremely hard to find great recording on Chrysalis ever. 
Whats playing on your system today?
Hey, I'm playing Fun Boy Three with Bananarama record US release on Chrysalis! The recording and mastering is extremely poor, but still enjoying it a lot! Lots of fun!
