| Not asking the best.... the intro to "sweet jane" on rock and roll animal and the coda to "layla" are obvious choices, but i alwys liked the long, swelling break in "ramble tamble" on cosmo's factory | |
| Fleetwood Mac A rap and punk-loving friend, who generally disdains melodic pop) uncharacteristically idolizes "tusk" on the basis that "the songs sound like nursery rhymes." it's a good observation--the bulk of it is fundamentally simple, three-chord tunes inde... | |
| Fleetwood Mac marty:so appropos of nothing much i listened to the whole of tusk tonite and conclude that it is in fact the fm masterpiece, at least of the latter day iteration--vastly superior to the overrated, biggerselling fleetwood mac and runours. it helps ... | |
| Best Rock Drummers just listened to lord sutch on mog (i vaguely remember him being sort of the wild man fischer of england in the 60s). it's remarkably terrible--i think it was intended as a parody by all but the singer, who's apparently a genuine loon. thanks for ... | |
| Best Rock Drummers chayro, you got to the essence of my point--playing on back of the beat without slowing down the heaviness is critical. charlie watts or al jackson (who did all the booker t/stax stuff) play behind the beat, but don't hold back the whole flow; bon... | |
| Best Rock Drummers i must be the only person alive who doesn't like john bonham's drumming (no disrespect to the memory of the man himself)--he was always behind the beat and gave the songs a lumbering, rather than propulsive feel. i just saw a 2007 zep tv concert w... | |
| What is wrong with my Parasound HCA-1000? i'd try to eliminate simple causes first, which happen more than you'd think:try swapping interconnectstry switching speaker wires/speakersclean input rcas with deoxit--could be corrosionif none of the above work, you might have a bad capacitator,... | |
| "Looking Into You" A Tribute To Jackson Browne jb really did write a lot of excellent songs, as this tribute shows, and he was the hub of the whole asylum records/la singer-songwriter thing. for me, though, he went into a slow, steady artistic decline after his first three records--the best so... | |
| Audiophile in Chicago ..... if you're around wicker park, reckless records on milwaukee is a good place to kill an afternoon + decibel audio is across the street and has some nice gear + there are innumerable bars and restaurants. enjoy. | |
| Installing a stereo in my garage. Suggestions? simplest thing might be to get some powered speakers like the audioengine a2 or a5 (200-350) and connect directly to ipod or computer--you can always add a sub/dac | |
| Fleetwood Mac i read about a big controversy over how bob welch (among the numerous fm guitarists) was singled out for exclusion when fm was enshrined in the hall of fame. he speculated first that it was because he had filed a breach of contract suit against ot... | |
| cabling a subwoofer to a NAD C356 integrated amp al:the nad c356 has preamp outs and ins--would the poster be better served connecting the amp preout to the rca inputs on the sub (and rca outputs to to the amp prein)? | |
| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll mkl:1. i'd very much enjoy hearing your songs if you care to share.2. i've only recently come around to fully appreciate chuck berry. dylan, elvis costello, or other such verbal freaksofnature excluded, he's probably the world's greatest lyricist-... | |
| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll martykl, we agree on many things. peter green is godlike, "then play on" is a stone classic, etc. as for lindsay buckingham, i respect his craftsmanship and he probably is a genius of sorts, although as a guitar player he doesn't grab me on the sa... | |
