| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? Here's a twist: How about best debut that's also a swan song? My kick-off nomination in the only-one-album-but-oh-what-an-album-it-is sweepstakes is The La's self-titled (and self-tortured) minor masterpiece from 1990 (hit that's endured: "There S... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? "The Audiogon Matchmaker. Only $6.00 per post"Umm, I think that's going to have to be ammended to Ladies Free... ;^) | |
| Bose Wave Music system Point well taken Eldartford. But in mild defense of the high end, I'll note that in the long run, although the audiophile marketplace doesn't demand that price be reasonable by mass market standards, it does demand that price should correlate in s... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The two-fer package listed above collects albums recorded and released in the early 70's. His next two albums are also available on another double, which I need to get, based on this one. Johnson's 60's work on Twinight and other small labels is m... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Albert, I actually prefer Carmen's deeper, burrier voice at these more advanced years than when she was younger, and think she'd matured into a better artist as well. One of the live cuts, track 12 "Suddenly" (AKA "In Walked Bud") has become one I... | |
| Re-issue vinyl vs. the original pressing Cello: Perhaps you're not familiar with Audiogon's (*) button at the top of each thread? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Been breaking in a new pair of small monitors by playing CD's almost continuously the past few days. The growing stack includes:The Flaming Lips -- At War With The MysticsHovhaness/Magic Mountain -- Reiner/ChicagoWondermints -- BaliSloan -- Navy B... | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? Arnold_layne: You would say that! ;-) | |
| Bose Wave Music system Audire: Sorry, no recent experience or intent on my part. When I wrote "category" I was probably being too narrow, considering that I was also thinking of more boom-box and shelf-system style devices as well as plain old table radios from various ... | |
| Personal amp evolution In my last post to this thread back in Oct. '02 I had moved to a bigger room and switched from a CJ MV-55 to a pair of VTL MB-185s. These were the only tubes left in my system after changing to solid-state pre and phono amps. Latest power amp swit... | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? Well Slothie, sorry I reminded you of that :-) | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? Perhaps not. Even though I was only in 6th grade at the time, I recall it being damned hard to find anything I wanted to hear on the radio in 1976. (Kind of like now, come to think of it.) Some other tunes that felt like an absolute plague then we... | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? I remember when "Boston" came out, I was in junior high school and everybody loved them. I once talked this girl I liked into leaving the school grounds during lunch and eating with me at my house instead. As we walked we talked about music, and s... | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? The Monkees rule. (Incidentally, ever listen closely to the lead break in "Saturday's Child"? Presages Page in late Yardbirds, "Dazed And Confused"-era early Zep. Not that anybody in The Monkees played it, but I'm not picky.) | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Kittyprincess88, meet Joeylawn36111. Now if those aren't compatible handles, I don't know what is.Geez, I just thought about how expensive it would be to have a household full of little audiophiles running around upgrading and tweaking their littl... |
