Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass.
I, too, find the first Lennon solo studio LP self-indulgent but I still like some of the songs.  "Remember" and "Working Class Hero" are two examples.I have the Giles M. version of SPLHCB but not Abbey Road.  I like it, but I'm long since oversatu... 
What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To?
"Marie," Randy Newman.  Achingly beautiful, a man sings his lover's praises while laying bare his soul with nothing held back.

How old are you?

Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable
Canare star quad.  I've tried two different Kimber models for possible upgrade.  Could not stand the sound of it. 
I love sad music

The value of a good FM tuner?......, now and in the future...
I prefer listening to my tuner to streaming the same program.  It has more body.  On the other hand, while it's great for classical the commercial rock stations sound like garbage (same stations are listenable in the car) 
1st Album you Ever Owned?
The Beach Boys' "All Summer Long," in mono.  I got in in stereo a year or two later.  Some great tracks on this one.  I was probably 12.  Some filler tracks as well, but it mostly holds up for me today.  I think this might have been their last ste... 
l just discovered another one of the record companies dirty tricks?
Just pretend you’re actually on stage with the band--then everything is right, and, wow, what a rush to be on stage with Led Zep!I’ve experienced this same thing with classical piano recordings. It seems sometimes the butt end of the piano is faci... 
Bob Dylan - new album just out on Tidal - Rough and Rowdy Ways
Wanna hear the Band show how well they can play rock and roll? Check out Moondog Matinee, their album of cover songs, especially The Promised Land, Ain’t Got No Home and Mystery Train.   I can’t sit still when I hear those tracks. 
CD/DVD/Blu-Ray Players with RCA outputs
I love the sound of my OPPO 83SE.  I wish it displayed the same track info as a CD player,  but I can sacrifice that for the sound I get versus what I paid for it (used, 100 USD).   
What was your most disappointing album purchase?
Exile on Main Street. A few good tracks as opposed to earlier Stones albums. I think Sticky Fingers was the last great Stones album and that Exile set the new low bar for their ensuing LP's (not that they didn’t still produce the occasional great ... 
Most amusing album or song titles
Of course, Dan Hicks" "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away" and Lyle Lovett's "I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You" should be mentioned.The Austin Lounge Lizards had a song called "Dallas."  The line from the chorus was "I'm Going ... 
Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer
richmos, that was the best Zappa band ever--Jean-luc Ponty, George Duke, Ruth and Ian Underwood, Bruce and Tom Fowler, and was it Ralph Humphreys on drums?  Much better than the band that recorded "Bongo Fury" in that building, IMO. 
Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz.
