Similar sounding bands.
Dido "No Angel" vs. Beth Orton "Central Reservation"?To me, the similarities are striking. 
Similar sounding bands.
Check out Chuck Prophet, especially "Soap & Water" and tell me you don't hear Tom Petty? The vocal styling, the familiar tempo of the guitar? The basic driving beat/undertone of the songs here. Huh?Onhwy61: I've listened quite a lot to my comp... 
listening in the dark?
Buconero117: That makes sense to me but I find that my mood or excitement of listening to a new lp or preconceived notion of how a brand new lp may sound affects my listening experience much more. (All of this may be in the same ballpark though) H... 
Who believes that Robert Plant
1 vote for Chris Cornell. 
I would love some suggestions on great acoustic...
Colin Meloy "Sings Live!" (The Decemberists). This is one fantastic sounding lp! I fear it went under the radar, so here you go. (If it's still available). As I recall, I ordered mine direct from Jealous Butcher Records at a great price.

the greatest pop song ever?
I recently heard on a radio station that Hall & Oates are the best selling pop duo of all time.Having said this, I think we forget about the disco era. The Gibbs? Need I say more? 
Edgar Winter is still alive.
Viridian: Where's your "balance"? You started a thread for a deceased artist. I assume you were trying to make some sort of statement. OK? Where is your statement? What did JW mean to you?I really want to know???

Ok.. I'm getting into these lps. Wow! SW must be a musician/SPONGE! He incorporates all aspects of the "rock" experience. (If I could be a fly on the wall when these lps were being conceptualized, wow, what an experience that must be!!!)I really d... 
"New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl
Afterthoughts: For me, I can't hold it in. I've been listening to the Mono Masters. I just wasn't aware.I wasn't aware that the Beatles had to release music specifically for individual markets. (UK v. US) With all of the pressure that the record c...
