| which king crimson Nightwatch is really good, but doesn't include Asbury Park, (a great piece to have stuck in your head)... it used to only be on the USA record, but is now on a few other discs. | |
| 500 Greatest Albums of all Times It's apparent that when setting themselves up as a prominent oracle covering contemporary music, RS chose to rely on poorly informed opinions when putting together the "greatest 500 albums" list.They put up multiple titles from Miles Davis and Col... | |
| 500 Greatest Albums of all Times 500 gives Rolling Stone enough room to do A LOT better:-Their list has multiple titles from Miles Davis and Coltrane, has one Stan Getz and one Ornette Coleman (way before his peak). LIST DOES NOT HAVE:Charles MingusThelonious MonkEric DolphyCharl... | |
| Ronnie Montrose Nice one Slaw... (way more fun to read than most A'gon comments). Have to agree that Outer Marker Inbound from Speed of Sound is a %$#**!! classic... didn't see it showing up on Youtube tho'. | |
| Fine trumpet , alto sax recordings? ... i'll butt in on Marakanetz again...The music on Johnston's recordings usually wouldn't lead you to key in on one instrument... I kind of forgot that he primarily plays soprano sax, (often one of my least favorite woodwinds). In terms of puttin... | |
| Prog Rock What was progressive 40 years ago is no longer ground breaking or original... almost without exception the bands listed so far (some of em' are great) ain't gonna give you originality if that's what you're really looking for. Bands like Miriodor, ... | |
| Extremely well recorded jazz double bass? cymbals? Pierre Favre- Portraits, Christian Jormin- Sol Salutis and Andrew Cyrille- C/D/E stand out as being exceptionally good scores during the last several years of ravenous buying and listening binges...same goes for Jerry Granelli Another Place.PSProo... | |

| under the radio early 80s new wave.... Hey Phasecorrect,Not sure if you had to be there, but based on your list it seems like you might dig 20/20- Yellow Pills, The Pop- Go, Robert Williams- Buy My Record, Paul Collins Beat- 1st, Ultravox- Rage In Eden and maybe Lizzy-Mecier Desloux- P... | |
| How selective are you? The ability to pre-screen is nice but is only part of the equation... it doesn't do much to increase the likelihood that people will expand their horizons or develop good sensory equipment as listeners, (highly selective can mean highly F.O.S.). T... | |
| What is Jazz? Jazz is a word.What people think it means varies so much that it's not hard to see why Duke Ellington and Miles Davis wouldn't touch it. One guy would say there's two kinds of music. The other thought the word jazz had become useless, (not worth u... | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? Minor house cleaning detour:Validity or cultural impact is not determined by what got printed in Downbeat. That said I was surprised to find that during the early and mid 70's the rag was regularly putting Zappa on a pedestal, (Bongo Fury was an e... | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? Some Ponty stuff did hit me as cheez whiz... haven't kept up with what he's doing. He's obviously a big talent and he's recorded things that can't rationally be described as pop or fusion. The MPS releases are generally pretty solid and his work o... | |
