| Favorite Obscure Rock Song This cut is not strictly "rock", but it's one of my favorite cuts from this album....deserving of being heard. In the certified, but maybe not too obscure "rock" category I love "Wasted Union Blues" from the first It's a Beautiful Day album. | |
| Led Zep Fool in the Rain Back to the OP original question about why they never played Fool in the Rain live. If my research is correct, they released ITTOD in August 1979 (at a time when Page & Bonham were both struggling with addictions). Led Zeppelin only played 14... | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio My dealings with them have always ended with me completely satisfied with the transaction. | |

| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Moody Blues “Seventh Sojourn” (currently my favorite) Heard it streaming on vacation and can’t get it out of my head…bought the 2007 (?) remaster and am pleased. Even in the day….believed to be their best (and final) release. | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? I must be “HiFi” curious…in an ascetic sort of way. My system is a means to an end….enjoying music to its fullest. life is a law of averages…..except for you and me… | |
| Shane MacGowan has passed on. With an album entitled “Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash” one knew the Pogues weren’t going to deliver a load of ballad/love songs! Elvis Costello at the producer’s helm didn’t hurt……til the next day. | |
| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? When Michael Hedges got going he was indeed mesmerizing. Another outstanding musician who left the planet way too soon. | |
| Do you think driver “break in” is real? As a similar analogy, consider a new automobile engine: There’s a reason you’re not supposed to over-rev the thing until so many hours have passed. i agree that break-in periods are difficult to empirically evaluate due to our familiarization wit... | |
| Sansui? In 1974 I was in the Navy and had a WestPac friend get me a Sansui Eight Deluxe and I chose the Acoustic Research AR 3a speakers, which supposedly haven’t aged well. I recall looking at a range of speakers including KLH, JBL, Advent, Bose, Klipsc... | |
