| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Has anyone directly compared the Mytek Brooklyn and Benchmark DAC3? I'd be very interested in how they compare sonically as DACs, as well as their use as preamps. | |
| Most overrated bands I think this guy is just a troll. Either that, or he lacks an appreciation of music of the last 50 years. Why not include Bob Dylan and the Beatles why you're at it? | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Ringo Starr had a unique ability to add something different and interesting to each song. | |
| Bill Chinook / Bruce Springsteen It's not Springsteen's fault that most Americans cannot think more deeply than their perception of the four word chorus of one of his songs. He is a great artist by any measure, and the most influential musician that America has produced since Bo... | |
| Dac that produces music I'd like to know which schitt dacs are being recommended, and how they sound compared to similarly priced dacs! | |
| DVD-Audio Mint Condition Collection.... Also interested, especially in the AIX releases. Let us know how you're listing them. | |
| Anybody into 80s big music? Sorry, but the 80's were a definite low point, with few exceptions (R.E.M., the Smiths, U2). Most of that music sounds very dated due to the synth pop production style. The best artists from the 60s and 70s generally stayed true to their use of ac... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Andrew, when I said early in their careers, I didn't necessarily mean their first several albums (although for some of the artists that I listed, I feel that those albums included a lot of their best work). I meant to say that rock and roll seems ... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... It seems to be the rule (rather than the exception) that in rock music, most of the artists' best, most unique and creative work arrives early in their careers. Most people would say that about Bob Dylan, The Beatles (together and apart), the Ston... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... I'll stand by what I said. Neither the Stones, the Who, Queen, etc., were able to connect with people emotionally, communicate a compelling message and create a sense of community in the way Springsteen was. The other band that has been able to do... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Without question, the most important artist of his generation, and the greatest live rock performer of all time. A consistent and passionate advocate for working people, veterans and the needy since finding his voice in the late 70s. | |

| Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga?...Gag Me? Oh, I realized if it wasn't clear- Tony Bennett at 88-fine. Tony + Lady Gaga-not so good. | |
| Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga?...Gag Me? FYI, I am a long time fan of Tony Bennett. I have several of his older collections, the Evans duet albums, and almost all of his 1990s recordings. He can still sing with feeling and emotion, but it would be impossible for him not to decline at his... | |
| Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga?...Gag Me? It's sad and pathetic. He's really showing his age now, and she brings nothing to the music. Diana Krall, Jane Monheit, Tierney Sutton, etc. have nothing to worry about. It's awful. |
