| Record collecting versus hoarding I think the one important word that has not been mentioned yet is "completist." That obsession leads to collecting and/or hoarding; so, different people will define those two words in different ways. I think there are probably more "music colle... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding 1) There are always exceptions to every rule. 2) My exact quote was: "Within my circle of friends." That's what's known as a "small sample size." | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding @sokogear , I think that the equipment hoarder is a very rare beast when compared to the hoarders of the physical music media (albums, cassettes, CD's). Some of the things that perplex me about the music hoarders are: 1) How do you find the space... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding Within my circle of friends it is evenly split between the hoarders/collectors and the audiophiles. The one thing the collectors have in common is that they own a lo - fi or less audio source (in one case only a boombox), while the audiophiles ten... | |
| Why does rock concert sound suck? After attending a couple of terrible sounding shows at an outdoor venue in San Antonio, I swore I'd never attend another show there. That is until Steely Dan was booked. I figured if their sound guy couldn't tame the sonic issues there, then no on... | |
| Why does rock concert sound suck? The larger the venue is, the worse it will probably sound. When you add in the stratospheric prices at most of the larger venues, this is not a good mix. Learn where the good sounding venues are in your area and support them. In the past year I'v... | |

| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? Am glad to see somebody finally mentioned Roxy Music (Bryan Ferry as a solo act got mentioned early in the thread). A few others that have slipped under the radar include: Art of Noise, The Beautiful South, Bow Wow Wow, Jim Carroll, House of Frea... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? edcyn - One of my favorite quotes is from Ralph Waldo Emerson: "All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients." A big reason why I liked the music of the late 70's thru the 80's was that I thought those bands were taking their influences and c... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? The new bands of the late 70's and early 80's had much to rebel against, whether it was disco, bombastic prog rock (ELP, etc) or what was being labeled as corporate rock (Boston, REO, etc). Many will argue that rebellion of some kind is essential... |
