| Politics and Music Great music can certainly be transformative in how we view the world. For me, that happened with Zappa's "We're Only In It For The Money", which I first heard back in 1969; came a bit late to that party! Bob Dylan likely changed a few folks' vie... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @mitchagain - 'I'm On Fire' by Dwight Twilley Band? Great choice - what a wonderful power-pop song that was! | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @thecarpathian + 1 | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? @johnto - indeed, Brian Epstein was the manager and had nothing to do with the recordings. Martin and Emerick it was! | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding @dayglow - indeed, the Doors had a unique signature style that I was totally in love with. Plus those were great records to sing along with 'cause Jim sang in my key! | |
| Cheap hearing aids? Those cheap things are not 'hearing aids', they're 'hearing amplifiers', which is why they are cheap (I wear hearing aids, and I did try a hearing amp once to see what it was like; I returned them). Real hearing aids are totally adjustable by a tr... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding @dayglow - and on those early albums on Verve, FZ's 'attempts' at being 'clever and unique' were 100% successful and then some, in my view. I enjoyed the few after that as well, including the instrumental albums 'Hot Rats' and 'Waka Jawaka'. But... | |

| I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd If the only thing they'd let me bring in was Jazz, I'd turn around and go the other way - what's the expression? "The devil's got all the best music!". For my tastes, he does! | |
| Plant/Krauss Tour @tablejockey - Plant's been tired of LZ stuff for decades now. Hence, all his other various projects with Allison Krause and others.... | |
| Jack White and acetate recordings A friend of mine just saw Jack White this past Saturday night at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mt View, CA.... | |
| Enleum AMP23-R buyer beware! @fork - I got my 23R from Jaguar Audio earlier this year without a hitch. There are a number of retailers who carry this, and it’s possible that if the OP is still interested, they might have better luck with one of them. @jtgofish - is the 5521 ... | |
| Turned back into a music lover Being thrilled by audio and loving music are mutually exclusive?? 🤔 | |
| Best progressive rock album side @bdp24 - I was a huge fan of Procol Harum right up until 'Grand Hotel'. My favorite P.H. album was 'Home', and my opinion is quite different from your's on that matter, as I don't think they ever sounded like 'just another English blues-based band... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding @bancsee - Yuppers!! That's the tour I saw them on, in Philadelphia, when they did that.... |
