| The Beach Boys While Brian Wilson was unquestionably the most creative force in the Beach Boys, he was not the sole talent. It's a disservice to the other band mates to marginalize their contributions to the unique Beach Boys sound. Simply compare Wilson's sol... | |
| Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians! Hendrix was a fabulous songwriter. Purple Haze, Little Wing, Red House, Voodoo Chile, Have You Ever Been, Angel, Fire, If 6 Were 9, etc. There's a reason Gil Evans did concerts of Hendrix compositions. | |

| Jazz for aficionados And Getz still owns "Blood Count". | |
| Linkwitz Lab Loundpeaker baffle Does a dipole driver need the same inert baffle as a box design loudspeaker? I don't know, but apparently one of the truly great loudspeaker designers doesn't think so. Why doubt a master? | |
