I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon
@audioguy85 - you realize you jumped into a thread where the most recent post was almost 5 years old, don't you?  And yeah, hip-hop/rap is every bit as much 'music' in every way, shape, or form as anything that you might prefer. Too many people ... 
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer

Ian McDonald of King Crimson and Foreigner dies at 75 RIP
For me it was the first King Crimson album; the one thing that immediately struck me besides how great it all sounded was the intricacy and power of the drumming. Almost always among the most important positions in a prog-rock band is the drummer,... 
Scams on Audiogon (McIntosh Amps)
... and free shipping too, for something that weighs 110 pounds! Perhaps they decided that wasn't such a great thing to offer....  
Music that swings
Yeah, 'Lazy' is a good one for that. There are a lot of Blue Oyster Cult songs that have a great swinging rhythm....

@russ69 - I was talking about Foreigner...

@laoman - from reading your posts, I'd have never guessed that English is a second language - you're much better at it than most native-speakers! As for spelling, I can't believe that anybody on the Internet can take anybody else to task for spel...

Roger Miller anyone?
@tooblue - and a chicken ain't chicken till it's lickin' good fried, deep on the sunny side...  
Do you trust your system?
@steakster - A-ha! Clive indeed! First I was gonna say 'none of them' or something like that, but I changed it to 'with a very few exceptions' - also people like the late Ahmet Ertugan. A friend of mine used to be president of Capital Records for ... 
Do you trust your system?
Very well said, @dain !   
Ian McDonald of King Crimson and Foreigner dies at 75 RIP
I didn't realize he had anything to do with Foreigner - I guess the only member of the band I ever thought of was Mick Jones (not the Clash's Mick Jones)....  RIP indeed...   
Roger Miller anyone?
I don't love his music but I don't think it's crap, either. I always enjoyed him when I was a lot younger; haven't even thought about him in decades.   
Why dealers disparage certain products?
Totally agree with rule #1 by OP....   
Do you trust your system?
@steakster - As somebody who has worked in the record business for a number of years, one thing I can tell you is that with very few exceptions, the last people who care about how anything sounds are record label executives! That being said, ther...
