| Best Christmas music, CD or album on your list ? Elvis. Carpenters. Beach Boys. Linda Ronstadt. Selected tracks from various other LPs/CDs. | |
| What brand is most recognized by non-audiophiles? BW, that's just it--my ears tell me that the Bose Wave does not compete with my system (which is rather modest but well-chosen IMO).I'm not saying the Bose isn't better than a lot of other stuff at that price point--just don't fool yourself as to ... | |
| Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's I guess I'm ignorant--since mono is one (or perhaps, two) dimensional how can there be the illusion of space or depth? | |
| Elvis Presley's Albums - Recommendations needed One problem with the 60's set is that it does NOT include the movies music (some of which is great, much of which is decidedly not great) which is available in a separate set. So, with the 60's set, for instance, you will not get Viva Las Vegas.BT... | |
| What brand is most recognized by non-audiophiles? Well said, Mapman. | |
| Elvis Presley's Albums - Recommendations needed I'm a big fan of the 50's masters set--5 CD's with some fantastic outtakes and alternate versions. I think it's called The King of Rock and Roll.Other than that, the #1 hits or the top ten hits (probably worth the extra investment) PLUS The Sun Se... | |
| Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's I know KOB sounds great in stereo--how are the mono versions superior? | |
| Your First Concert was..... Joe, I wouldn't say "needless to say"--when I saw the Doors the band was great but Morrison was not very good. He spent a lot of time under (yes, under) the stage babbling into the mic while the other guys cooked away. | |
| Jimi Hendrix on PBS "American Masters" French fries,well said all-around. Mitch Mitchell (drummer) was at the very top of his peer group. He gets far too little attention when people are naming the best drummers in rock history. I thought Noel Redding, on bass, was okay but not great s... | |
| Does anyone like country Martykl,I think you nailed that.In a bluesier realm, a list of guys who use a good dose of major pent/major blues along with a lot of minor pent/minor blues would include T-Bone Walker, B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn. It sets them a... | |
| Jimi Hendrix on PBS "American Masters" Wish I'd seen this yesterday--will hope for re-broadcast.Thanks. | |
| Does anyone like country Tubegroover,I'm well aware of the use of the pentatonic scale worldwide. I was talking about rock music more or less.I find the Allmans to have some country in their sound, esp. on "Lord I was Born a Rambling Man" and "Little Martha."And "Sweet Ho... | |
| Rush Live in 2013 - Clockwork Angels Cymbop,I'd expect no less from a band that's steeped in the music of the Dead, who more or less invented good sound at large venues in this country.Would love to catch Phish some time. I like the guitar player's work with Oysterhead. | |
| Best Recording of Scheherazade It's my understanding (just "the rumor," I guess) that he didn't fit the mold of what they were looking for off the podium as it were. I heard the last straw was when he stood up for the players who refused to take their best instruments out for a... | |
| Best Recording of Scheherazade Brushilow turned out to be quite the conductor himself (he could play, obviously!) but never had the career he deserved.Dallas politics are to blame for that. |
