| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo The guitar work on Slave's "Drac Is Back" is entertaining. I'm not a rock "expert" by any measure, but the guitar player, Marc Hicks, appears to know how to use his chosen instrument. | |
| Best rock bass player As someone earlier had taken the liberty of expanding the rock genre to soul and funk I would add Mark Adams from the group Slave. Stanley Clarke's early albums were just as much rock as they were jazz. | |
| Coltrane In the past I would study with "Black Pearls" playing at a low level in the background. It always put me at ease. When friends who are not familiar with JC ask for a suggestion on where to start I would always play the song "My Favorite Things" on... | |
| Song With Best Beginning Aurra's "Are You Single?" The electric bass is fantastic and begs to be turned up. Faze-O's "Riding High." The keyboard sets the mood and ambiance for the rest of the song. | |
| Jean-Luc Ponty Incantations For World Peace was the song that introduced me to JLP. Modern Time Blues is one of my "open the moonroof and turn it up" songs. | |
| Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought? 1977. Slave's self titled album. Mark Adams, may he rest in peace, was the greatest Funk bassist of his time. | |
| Your First Concert was..... David Benoit at Cal Berkeley in 1990. I'm not sure the Egyptian Lover mixing on turntables at UOP in 1996 counts. | |
| Waaaah. Snapped off my cantilever. I am sorry a simple mistake caused such damage to your cartridge. I did that ONCE to a Benz Micro cantilever. Their trade up program allowed me to get a better cartridge. I am extremely cautious and give my complete attention/focus to my TT when p... | |
| speakers for r&b music I just came across this post and YEARS late in responding , but I felt it might help someone going through the archives. I listen to a lot of 80's R&B. I have found that simple two way systems with minimal crossover networks work very well. I ... | |
| Songs With Best Ending The last minute of the Art Of Noise "Beat Box(Diversion One)". The piano is fantastic in it's softness and quite contrary to the previous 7+ minutes of the song. | |
| Best Rock Song Of ALL TIME? Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven." I have always liked that song. It sounds as good today as it did in the 70's when I was a child. Heart's "Magic Man" also deserves an honorable mention. | |
| Album which you have listened to most? As an elementary school kid I heard Slave's "The Concept" being played by a classmates older brother. I asked my parents for the cassette tape for Christmas. I believe that was 1978. I still own that cassette tape. I played it through middle schoo... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Con Funk Shun's "Make It Last." The "Loveshine" album was fantastic. It is one of my top three favorite albums of all time. I have been playing it since I was in the 7th grade. That was a long time ago. 80's R&B baby! | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I bought 2 pairs of Epos ES11's in 1995. I sold one pair that were set up in the bed room after a year. I still have the other pair as my main loudspeaker in a living room that is on the large size. I have purchased many bigger loudspeakers since ... | |
| Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ? I bought a Pioneer M-22 power amplifier based on its looks. I have kept it because of its sonics. It is truly fun to listen to music through this amplifier. |
