| moody blues vs rock hall of fame "I think its a badge of honor that the Moodies aren't in."Also a badge of honor that The MBs have never received much credence from RS magazine.Maybe if Justin Hayward would have just broken a few guitars on stage things could be different...... | |
| Zu Omens Vs Dali Vs Vandersteen Vs Sonus Faber I've read some unconfirmed frequency response measurements on some Zu speakers in blogs (not always the most reliable source for these things and can't remember which Zus exactly, Druids perhaps, but not the newer models) that were not favorable a... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Casey is perhaps the best overall performer/entertainer but does he have the "it" factor to make it big and not become Taylor Hicks (who I never really got) part II?Thia has my favorite voice to listen to and excellent poise for 16 years old, but ... | |
| best class a amp for a grand? With 86db efficiency I read, sounds like a good candidate to throw any well made high current high power monster Class A/B or Class D.I had similar need for my large OHM F 5 Series 3 speakers. The compact, energy efficient Bel Canto ref1000m Class... | |
| Zu Omens Vs Dali Vs Vandersteen Vs Sonus Faber OK, so you like how they sound which is great but I would really like to hear more about the quality? What can be said about that compared to the others? | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Most of the remaining singers have some real and marketable talent I think.I think I read this year they are steering more towards providing the singers the professional constructive guidance and other assistance they need as amateurs at this stag... | |
| moody blues vs rock hall of fame Oh well, not this year.Upcoming 2011 inductees listed the R&R HOF site:"Congratulations to the following artists on their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year! * Performers: * Alice Cooper * Neil Diamond * Dr. John * Darlene... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues is a much under appreciated guitarist.He knows how to embellish music with his playing and has done so on many of my favorite recordings. He can be lightning fast and flashy also when needed, but seldom over does it. | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? You mean Thia Megia?Yes, that young girl has the voice and demeanor of an angel, both stunning and pitch perfect.I like Pia Toscano and several others as well. | |
| Has your HiFi changed your musical tastes I listen to all kinds of music just to hear how it sounds. | |
| moody blues vs rock hall of fame I have the early 2 lp Moody's collection "A Dream" on Gema Records.It's one of my most prized lps. The early Moodies stuff with Denny Laine was more of a British R&B style but still with lots of good harmonies. I like this collection a lot tho... | |
| moody blues vs rock hall of fame "Their first 6 or 7 albums are some of the best music ever made, by anyone."I don't like to throw around the word "best" much, but I'll agree that they hold their own up there with me and I have listened to a lot of different music in most every g... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? "We have all been told not to judge and to except this bad sounding so called heartfelt artistry"Aha, so that's what those voices in my head must have been saying!Sinatra had a great voice and was magic when he was on but frankly produced a lot of... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Schipo,That's pretty harsh.Didn't realize there had to be guidelines to ensure singers sing a certain way.BTW, I agree about the worthless and needless vocal gyrations that many singers are enamored with these days. It's all in the artistry, heart... | |
| what speakers demand high end electronics "By stating that Harbeth speakers work just fine with inexpensive amps, he removes an obstacle to the potential buyer, thus possibly making another sale."Most successful speaker manufacturer's work hard to avoid creating obstacles for willing cust... |
