What are some of your favorite "COLD" songs?
@edcyn The Gordon Lightfoot song is another one that is too subdued musically for a cryo session. I will probably eventually drop "Icy Blue Heart" (John Hiatt) for that same reason. I guess it takes a mid - tempo and/or up - tempo song to effectiv...

@simonmoon Wow, I have not heard Terje Rypdal's name mentioned for almost 40 years! "Dead Man's Tale" might be a cryo contender.  
What are some of your favorite "COLD" songs?
@bluorion Thanks for the Annie Lennox suggestion, that certainly will be a cryo contender. I considered "Under Ice" by Kate Bush; but, I found it to be a little too subdued musically. Plus, at only 2:21, it is too short for a 3 minute cryo session.  
Buy Back Old or Move On?
If I were in your shoes I would go back to the Coda for the following reasons: 1) Since this is your retirement system, it's probably time to get off of the "upgrade merry-go-round." 2) "Peace of mind;" you know and like how the Coda sounds. 3)...

Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good

@dmlaudio Thanks, I think Alvin Lee might have been sending a message with his opening guitar chords on the first song of the album. (One of These Days)

Since it took 150 - 200 posts before "Court and Spark" (Joni Mitchell) or "For Everyman" (Jackson Browne) were mentioned, I wonder what else we've forgotten?. So, here's a few more that have not been mentioned yet: Jim Carroll - Catholic Boy Ll...

Great thread with lots of good choices. Guess I'll have to go obscure, or at least semi - obscure, to try and not repeat anything: JJ Cale - Naturally Rosanne Cash - Interiors Lloyd Cole & Commotions - Rattlesnakes Crack The Sky - Animal N...

RIP oregonpapa
I was stunned and saddened to hear the news that Oregonpapa passed away. My condolences to his family and friends. Frank's curiosity, knowledge and passion about audio and music represents many of the things make this forum great. I wish I could'v... 
Would you sell for cash?
On a cash deal, I'd request a cashier's check for at least 50% of the sales price upfront and with enough time for the check to clear your bank before meeting in person.  
Bands/artists you never got to see live in their heyday, but would've liked to.
While I've seen Steely Dan multiple times, I sure wish I could've seen the 2018 tour with Larry Carlton as Walter Becker's replacement.
