| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One I feel very strongly that this category must be split into two categories, soundtracks of existing recordings and soundtracks composed for the movie. I think the first is relatively simple to do (see both "Dazed and Confused" and "Almost Famous").... | |
| Isn't it really about quality of recording? I like chasing tail. Even managed to catch a few along the way. | |
| Full range speaker recommendation I bought my Magnepan 20.1s ($12,500 new) used on Audiogon for $5,500. I absolutely love them. Definitely keep the REL subs for some extra bass punch and with those mono blocks, you have plenty of power to drive the Maggies. I see a few other sugge... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? My Cherie Amour - Stevie Wonder - It's just so damn melodic. A close second, Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen - The energy he adds with that pounding piano nearing the end of the song is so powerful. | |
| Politics and Music @bdp24 A lot of Democrats were Reagan Democrats, so don’t hold that against Neil. Reagan won 49 states in the 1984 election and you don’t do that without a lot of support from the opposite side. Why did so many Democrats like Reagan even though ... | |
| Politics and Music I have always enjoyed "Wake Up Everybody" by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes featuring Teddy Pendergrass. It contains an unexpected and seldom heard dig at the Beatles (who I also love) with the line "The world won't get no better if we just let i... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding @shtinkydog Agreed, forgot about Duran Duran. My list wasn't meant to be comprehensive, just representative, but Duran Duran would have been a good inclusion. Never much cared for them either. | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding I agree on Graceland. Good, but far from mind blowing and hardly worthy of the massive praise it received. If you jump around to different tracks you can hear Simon using identical phrasing on many of them. Gets a bit repetitious. One genre that ... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers After having read most of the posts regarding subs and despite what mijostyn wrote about REL subs, I can state unequivocally that the one thing almost everybody seems to agree on in this forum is that REL subs are very good. A negative comment abo... | |
| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation Get a new wife who will let you do home theater. I apologize because I have no real advice to give as I've never even considered sound bars. | |
| Why Do You Post? I feel like I'm fairly knowledgeable about music (I play music trivia at a local bar once a week) so whenever there's a post about music I might chime in with an opinion. I also like to tell a joke so if there's an opportunity for that, I might ch... | |
| Favorite religious song Christmas with the Devil - Spinal Tap | |
| Let me explain something to you jive turkeys. doug10457 You said: "To provide some perspective: A young person in 2022 saying they enjoy listening to The Doors’ “Light My Fire” (1967) is equivalent to a young person in 1967 saying they enjoy listening to Al Jolson’s “You Great Big Beautiful ... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? Having read many comments on this discussion forum I can say that about the only thing that most people agree on is that REL subs are really good. I have yet to read a negative comment about an REL sub (let the negativity commence). I say go for it. | |
| What is your favorite cover? Somebody mentioned Susanna Hoffs but forgot about The Bangles version of Hazy Shade of Winter (Simon and Garfunkel). Somebody else mentioned Little Wing but forgot about Sting's version, which is truly ethereal on a great imaging system. Nobody me... |
