| Music, Theater listening chair Depends on what you prefer as far as listening posture. If you like semi-reclined, here's a recliner you may find interesting: http://www.tema-usa.com/Chwks/Ch3445.htm. I personally don't do HT at all...only 2 channel. And I'm addicted to near-fie... | |
| Best female vocals on CD If nothing else, this is going to help CDNOW.com secure more of my beer money. Lots of artists mentioned I don't have yet. I concur w/ Diana Krall, Ricki Lee Jones as well. Would add Jane Relf (recommend "Out of the mist" by Illusion, an old Renai... | |
| Worst Music of All-Time Lance12000 - I respectfully disagree with you re: SOB. Listening to it now, in 2000, it admittedly sounds a little dated and cheesy. But you have to remember it in its historical context (this is meaningful to me as a classically trained studio mu... | |
| BEST HEAVY METAL BAND Is it a faux pas to use proper grammar and syntax in response to this thread? "Alternica"...first time I've heard that and I'm still laughing over that one. I agree the early stuff including "Puppets" and "Justice" qualify. Perhaps my age is showi... | |

| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Agree w/ all of the above. Also, not a band, but Eddie Money (Mahoney) is one of the worst contemporary examples of talentless joe getting foisted on public by Bill Graham's promotional machine. Was a period in the 70's you couldn't go to any big ... | |
| Best musician in the world? Jklotch - Never heard Victor Wooten, but will check him out w/ Fleck and Flecktones. Metheny's first great gift seems to be melodic improvisation, but recent discs display great compositional skill as well. I haven't heard Stanley Jordan for 10 ye... | |
| Best minimonitors in range of 1k -used? I might suggest a listen at Von Schweikert VM-2 mini's used if can be found. | |
| Best musician in the world? Have to agree w/ observation we're talking "favorite" vs. "best". All of the following, of course, simply IMHO. Guitar players? I cast votes for Allan Holdsworth, Eric Johnson (I opened for him several years ago in CA...amazing player), Satriani, ... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Albertporter - here's a few more: Thomas Dolby - "The Flat Earth" - We know him from the novelty hit "Blinded Me with Science", but in that whole new wave mileu he was actually a good idiosyncratic composer. This, his second release, demonstrates ... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Here's a few of my favorites: Pat Metheny - standouts are "First Circle" (wonderful sense of composition and performance aesthetic, but only average sound quality) and "Secret Story" (widely eclectic mix of styles, very detailed production). Liqui... | |
| Honest Reviewers ? Well, as a musician once said, "writing about music is like dancing about architechture." There comes a point where searching the lexicon yields diminishing returns and futility, especially when trying to describe the elusive properties of sound a... |
