| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Not really sure if this qualifies as obscure. Perhaps less known and certainly underappreciated. One of the finest voices ever."Greetings From LA" Tim Buckley Unfortunately, there is no video from this album, but I did find this gem from his album... | |

| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? I understand exactly where you are coming from. Despite what some of the jaded members might say, common courtesy shouldn't be dismissed as you being too "emotionally invested". If the seller is providing "wiggle room" in either the selling price ... | |

| How eclectic is your taste in music? @three_easy_payments Couldn't agree more. Variety is the best thing about it.Tool, LP, Ronstadt, Coltrane, Puccini. As long as it is recorded well, it's all good. | |
