| Yes "Fragile" How great of an album is it? I love the Yes album. I like Close to the Edge and I think Tales from T.O. is good but I haven't spun it in ages. Fragile just never did anything for me for some reason. | |
| "Stairway To Heaven" Plagarism court case onhwy61, I disagree ("the feel can now be infringed")? I think the jury ignored the letter of the law in the M. Gaye case and I predict the ruling will be reversed on appeal for that reason.Otherwise, expect inmate Phil Spector to sue Brian Wilso... | |
| What is your go-to online place to buy physical medium of music? And why? CDs--AmazonLPs--Half Price BooksWhy? I'm a cheapskate | |
| "Stairway To Heaven" Plagarism court case And the new case over the Ed Sheeran song is another one without merit. It's a pretty common chord progression, and more importantly, it's only a chord progression. | |
| "Stairway To Heaven" Plagarism court case It's a small portion of the song overall. It's accompanimental and not melodic. There shouldn't be much of a case here IMO but look what happened with the Robin Thicke/Marvin Gaye suit--those people on the jury must have ignored every instructio... | |
| ( Vinyl) Your latest purchase and where? I forgot to say where I purchased: Half Price Books. | |
| Which rock is the best for you? For me music peaked and then began to decline after 1973. Since then there are many artists from various styles (most of the ones you mention) that I like, but I haven't found myself drawn to a certain style in general since that time. In genera... | |
| For Old Timers who experienced the "Golden Age" of Audio of the 60s and 70s. One thing is for sure: even given the blinding number of options it's easier to research equipment now than ever before. The harder part is the live audition. | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll bdp24, yes, we get spoiled here. Redd is guitarist in Heybale. He tears it up no matter who he's playing with. Until recently we had (lap steel guitarist) Cindy Cashdollar living here and they sometimes appeared together. Add in Hot Club of Co... | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll I like Heybale, a local Austin band with some veteran sidemen from the likes of Merle and Johnny Cash bands. But I'm not sure if the "rock" part applies. Certainly the guitarist is virtuosic and loud, so maybe so. | |
| ( Vinyl) Your latest purchase and where? Yesterday I picked up "The Art of the Spanish Guitar,"Julian Bream, used, my second copy, and Bill Evans/Jim Hall "Undercurrents," new 180g. | |
| Pet Sounds at 50--NPR video In an earlier tune, Brian asked the question:Will I joke around and still dig those soundsWhen I grow up to be a man?The answer, 50 years later, is "yes, absolutely." I still dig those sounds. | |
| For Old Timers who experienced the "Golden Age" of Audio of the 60s and 70s. Dynaco electronics were sold as DIY kits that could also be purchased pre-assembled. I know that the sound of the Dynaco PAT-4 solid-state pre-amp couldn't touch the sound of a Mac C-26 or C-28. The stereo 400 SS amp did much better against the... | |

| Best Country/Rock - Poll Los Lobos, when they're in the mood, is a fine country band. Such tracks as "One Time, One NIght in America" and "Evangeline" qualify. Also worth checking out is their cover of the Dead's "Bertha."Several tracks on Judy Collins' "Who Knows Where... |
