| Davy Jones we will miss you Notwithstanding that this horrible news is worst for his family and friends, it is yet another nail in the coffin that was my youth. He, possibly more than any other musician from the Sixties, will remain eternally young in my mind. Even though th... | |
| How many albums do you need ? I used to be of the opinion that is was "as many as I could find" but in recent times I have revised that thought. I have simply too many CDs and many went unplayed for years on end and some were never going to get played again. I hated the idea o... | |
| Do you ever wonder? Practically every other person I ever come across likes music that I find unfathomable. Their entire listening habits are populated by artists that possess little or no talent that I can see or from musical genres that I loathe. It's often stated ... | |
| Jethro Tull...any cd's to stay away from? The DVDs are poor in terms of presentation. You get a live track then some chat, then a live track and so on, which was not what I either expected or wanted.The earlier CD issues were a real hotch-potch of audio quality, none of them being very go... | |
| Jethro Tull...any cd's to stay away from? The new (2011) issue of Aqualung is stunning. The bonus tracks are worthy of purchase alone but the real revelation is the remastered original album. It is about the best modern remaster of any album I have heard, and that includes many from the w... | |
| How selective are you? Good grief - what an insular attitude and, I have to say, somewhat arrogant as well. I love classical music but the majority of my collection, numbering around 4500, is rock and Prog rock. I am very fussy with regards to the albums I buy, I am not... | |
| ever been duped ordering "new" CDs on Amazon? Shouldn't this be entitled "....on Amazon MARKETPLACE"? The title rather infers that Amazon themselves are selling used items as "new".I have not encountered this as yet but would not be at all surprised. Don't forget that not all new CDs are sold... | |
| Best Live Album Ever... "Beatles - abby road Hevac1"Is that some sort of bizarre irony? | |
| Trying to ID this peice of classical Well done that man! I have very little chamber music but I do have all the Schubert piano trios so that's saved me trawling through them needlessly.I might return to this subject as I'm compiling a list of classical pieces used in Prog rock. Most ... | |
| Trying to ID this peice of classical I have a feeling that the peice is used in the wonderful French film "Péril en la demeure" (aka Death in a French Garden). I have the DVD but it doesn't list the music used in the credits, so I'll have to skim through it to see if it's there. Does... | |
| Trying to ID this peice of classical Jamscience - That'd be the last place I'd go - and Vivaldi! Good grief - that just highlights what prats that place attracts! Anyway, it's classical experts I need not prog ones (if the latter exists as a concept - and it doesn't believe me!) :)I'... | |
| Double blind test on Strads Like all tests where the tester has a preconceived bias or a vested interest or just wants to debunk tradition, both the way the data is collected and the results need to be put in context. Rarely are any tests, which apparently "disprove" accepte... | |
| worst cover songs..... I'm kind of surprised and yet not, that no-one has mentioned the Rolf Harris "Stairway to Heaven". I love it but I bet the purists don't. Anyway Rolf can do no wrong in my eyes. | |
| worst cover songs..... Someone's replicating Hoffman thread on here!I'd say that any covers of classic songs done by any pop artist of the last 20 years would easily be in the running (not that I hear many but when I do.....) | |
| Best Live Album Ever... I just counted and I own 491 Live albums on CD - that means the success rate is pretty low given the following list of exemplars.....Renaissance - Live at Carnegie Hall - easily my favourite live album. Fantastic performance and audio (especially ... |
