Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it
Okay, I gotta defend Bob.Ain't no way you can hate any album that has "One Too Many Mornings" on it.Period. 
Sexiest Pop Song Ever?
Joan Osborne's, "Right Hand Man".Great melody, great lyrics, fabulous sonics.(Plus, when you've finished listening to that you can also listen to "One Of Us", one the hookiest songs ever... written by Eric Bazilian of The Hooters whose album "Nerv... 
Johnny Cash
I have the 1st, 2nd and 5th albums on both vinyl and cd. The vinyl sounds much better than the cd on the 1st and 2nd albums. Johnny is holographic in the extreme. The sound on the 5th album is also quite good, but the quality of the vinyl leaves s...

Johnny Cash
I finally scored vinyl copies of all six of J Cash's American Series. Numbers one and two were hard to come by. My most treasured set of all. Dying has never been documented so well. 
What is your favorite guitar solo of all time?
Tom Morello on "The Ghost of Tom Joad" (with Springsteen nearly bursting the vein in his forehead as he tried to match intensities). Can be seen on U2B, from the R&R HOFame concert. 
Your First Concert was.....
Sonny and Cher, Miami, Fla., 60-something, when Sonny wore all the fur stuff.The noted actor Anthony Quinn stomped out after the first song. No one cared. 
Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice.
how about wayne newton on "danke shoen"? 
Best lines in a song
The Magnetic Fields...from "You must Be Out Of Your Mind""I want you crawling back to me, down on your knees yeah,like an appendectomy, sans anaesthesia." Ouch. 
Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice.
Yma Sumac. Peruvian singer with a 6 - yes,that's SIX - octave range.One of her albums is for sale right now.I don't know about mezmerizing, but she is definitely unusual. 
Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!
This is ez.The worst rock band ever was LA Guns. I saw them open for GNR. Hard core bikers ran for the exits at MSG, their ears literally bleeding. Me? I'd brought along a box of cotton and sold it for 10 bucks a ball; 2 balls for $17.50. I made m... 
Wish List For Vinyl Pressings
Although it's already been said, I'm gonna second ( or third or fourth ) it, so the major record mojo's will know: The Beatles Mono remasters on vinyl.I mean, is it that hard to figure this one out?Also, Keb Mo'. Only his first album is on vinyl. ... 
The Hub: Okay. It's all my fault.
Those amps weren't real???Well...the jokes on you, because I bought the exact same pair of amps at Wal-Mart and they were much less than $25,000. So I ask you, who would buy 'em on A'gon?Unfortunately I had to return them to WM because they had so... 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Tierney Sutton singing "Something Cool". A tattered raincoat of regrets. Also, in a slightly different vein, listen to her version of "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead". It's very...ummmm...well, it ain't Garland, that's for sure. 
Designer Hall of Fame
Don Garber. The X amp (and all the others, too): the Y pre and Yph, the WE421A, the mono's...all of them classics, and affordable. Art meets science. Listen to his work. Look at it while listening. There's a message there, although I still haven'...
