Classic Rock Fans?

Which artists do you just NOW get?
I'm with you on the Bob Dylan thing. I keep thinking he's an acquired taste. I saw him several years ago and was very underwhelmed... Although some of my friends who have seen him recently say he's singing much better now. If we have this thread i... 
Which artists do you just NOW get?
Another thread reminded me of JJ Cale. I used to think he was a great writer but thought his music was muddled and uninspired. But now I get it. Now I would much rather listen to his versions over the artist that have covered his songs. To name ju...

Vader007; I realize that he was referring to dvd recorder. When I said processor I meant the AV processor or preamp.Excuse my ignorance but I don't know what a tuner is or does in a VCR or a dvd burner.. 
Question for DVD Burning Gurus?
Agree with both of the above post. I bought a DVD burner with the expectations of copying my movies. ItÂ’s not worth the hassle. I will use my burner for data back up, digital pictures and digital camcorder. I also thought I would copy TV shows wit...

Inexpensive HT Receiver - NAD vs Marantz
I purchased the Marantz SR7000 on EBAY for $400 and have been very pleased (especially with music). I have had very good luck with buying used and Bstock and highly recommend it. There is a Marantz authorized dealer on EBAY that seems reputable. I...

Flea- Red Hot Chili Peppers This is the best rock band in the last 10 years and his sound is a big reason why. He plays fast, loud, and funky. Great live performances. I've seen them 5 times and seeing them again in Atlanta next week.
