| Eric Clapton covers Robert Johnson I like my acoustic blues on the raw side and although I respect ECs ability, guitar more than vocal, he has a tendency to be smooooth. This tendency has the effect, at least for me, of homogenizing what should be a gritty experience. The devils mu... | |
| what are gold cd's IMO: The gold was a marketing gimmick. Most gold CDs were released by MFSL and DCC. In many cases they do sound better than their aluminum cousins but not because of the gold. They were generally remastered from original tapes by some great master... | |

| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts Saw The Doors twice, great both times. Country Joe and the Fish put on a nice concert, at least what I could remember through all the smoke. Ricki Lee Jones was fantastic! | |

| Best single-malt Scotch... Had a bottle of 25yr Talisker recently. Unbelievable!!! Very tough to find as only 3000 bottles released. A friend tasted it at Talisker before release. Felt lucky to find a bottle. I'm usually an Islay guy, the older the better. But this Talisker... |
