Whats playing on your system today?

Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.

I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....

Then I pulled out "Gamma". 
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....

Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

Spocks Beard, Day for night. 

Spocks Beard as you know is progressive rock. The band has evolved several times over the years. IMHO, each albumn was different and great in its own way. Some of their songs are like small journeys. They wind you through different melodies and movements. 

I think the one of the best songs that demonstrates their talent and to take you on one of Neal Morse's journey is "The Healing Colors Of Sound". 

(ghosthouse, if your out there try this last one before you make your final judgment)

falconquest, 

I watched your Patricia Barber link for a again time. She sounds wonderful and a great recording, (for youtu.be). I don't have any of Patricia on CD but I do have a few Diana Krall. Female voices can reveal flaws in ones hi fi. Thanks for the recommendation.

ghost, 

Finally finished the Zappa you posted about. What else can be said about Zappa and the talent he attraced. He was a genius. It's not what I normally gravitate towards musically. Now on to Sugarcane. I replayed Keyzop, that is more my speed. 

Thanks for the enlightenment!

The Who, Who's Next. Quite possibly one of the best albumn covers by one of the 
Greatest band of all time.

Hey nutty - a couple of things. I appreciate the ongoing dialog here. On too many A’gon threads, it’s like people posting are just talking to themselves. No responses. No interaction. Like hollering down a well.

Glad you checked out that Zappa showcasing Sugar Cane. If you liked Keyzop, Sugar Cane’s Got The Blues would also please you, I think.

I’m not a huge Patricia Barber fan but the 2 CDs of hers I own are very well recorded. Great sound quality and some interesting music too. Good "side men" accompanying her. The 2 are: Cafe Blue & Modern Cool.

That YouTube link from falconquest is a bit of a revelation to me. Had no idea she was that good on piano. That performance is quite a bit different than the rather concise, more conventional song structures on the 2 CDs I own. The CDs focus on voice more than instrumental jazz solos. OK. Later.

PS - nutty - just saw your Spock's Beard "Healing Colors" link...have the Patricia Barber playing but will try that SB recommendation later.
