| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? @jkf011 "Saying it was "the best" means you only like that music and you are making the point that the year of any work of art you love was the high point of art. " No. It certainly does not mean that. What it does mean is that I have a long a... | |
| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? @fred60 Actually, I did include.... Imagine by John Lennon Ram by Paul McCartney The Yes Album Madman Across the Water by Elton John | |
| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? @vair68robert @stuartk is 99.7% correct that the music between 1967 and 1977 was magical, but the point of my comment was the picking of 1971 as its apex. Of course I knew that there would be pushback because there is a tendency for people to b... | |
| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? @gowanus Fifty years from now they will still be listening to music from the 60's and 70's. Just like they will still be listening to 50's and 60's jazz. This is because what lasts is music that contains innovation, creativity, musicianship, dy... | |
| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? @ghdprentice Earlier, maybe. Later, I doubt it. A creative peak is just that. A peak. There was a build up to it and a fairly sharp decline after it. Since then, there have been fabulous records and fabulous performances, but the overall quali... | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? I am "on" when I'm awake and off when I'm asleep. The rest of the time I am ambivalent. | |
| Martin Logan vs. Everything "I love Maggies, I dislike MLs." This type of response is why I hate forums sometimes. Why is their opinion so important to them, that they need to dump on someone else's joy? | |
| High End Repair in Phoenix Not a good sign when you can't get a response, but I wouldn't hold the appearance of the location against "James". Can't see someone getting rich doing repair work on a variety of makes and models. I'm up in Vancouver and the options here are sl... | |
| Garrard 301 motor and rumble I appreciate your frustration, but isn't complaining about the high volume rumble of a vintage Garrard 301, kind of like buying a vintage British sports car like a Lotus Super 7, then complaining that you can feel every bump in the road? Isn't it... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. @zlone "Allman Brothers Fillmore East" Great choice. | |
| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? Where are the blue VU meters? | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? @jtcf I agree about the repetitive nature of some topics, which is why spend more time just researching products and finding answers to questions. That being said, I do wish the software used to search the forum's database was a little less "ba... | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? Since retirement, I have some extra time and have therefore been on here more than previously. I do find it very helpful in amassing background information about products, brands, processes and trends. What I dislike is how some members use the s... | |
