| Well recorded solo piano and solo acoustic guitar? +1 for Pink Guitar--every track is a different performer, each one great. | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Certainly each of the three Brits in question were influenced somewhat by each of the three Kings--listen to how much Strange Brew sounds like Albert's Crosscut Saw, for instance--and by other early blues artists as well. I hear a ton of B.B. in P... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Marty, FWIW, John Mayall considers only Clapton to be in the Freddie King mold. He says Mick Taylor is more like Albert King and Peter Green is more like B.B. King. I don't know Mick's style as well as the others but I agree about Eric and Peter.I... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... They were more than interesting--they were an amazing blues-infused rock band. You can still hear echoes of them today in certain tunes by Los Lobos and ZZ Top. | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s I wouldn't throw Cream in with Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, etc. but they certainly had songs with a nod in that direction--As You Said, Passing the Time, Deserted Cities of the Heart, for instance. The use of orchestration and time changes is cons... | |
| Audiogon has no 'likes' Isn't ironic that so many are "liking" the absence of a one-touch "liking" system? I'm okay either way--I use the system when it's there but there's something a little queer about it. | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s Jack Bruce once said (on film) "Cream was actually an Ornette Coleman band, with Eric as Ornette--but neither Ginger nor I told Eric."FWIW, I liked Blue Cheer but understand why they weren't everyone's cup of tea. Sort of proto-punk in a way. | |
| How did you contract "Audiophilia" Danoroo, you're thinking of Audio Concepts--it was in Dobie Mall at 21st and Guadalupe. As Sfar pointed out, HiFinc was on Lavaca, around the 1700 block I think. Later they opened another store on Anderson near MoPac and eventually closed the Lava... | |
| How did you contract "Audiophilia" Around '73 or '74 I walked into High Fidelity, Inc. in Austin and walked out with a Mac 2300 power amp for our band's PA. I had a pair of Advent speakers and then graduated to Mac ML1's and Mac preamps. I loved their "thump" for loud rock but was ... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... The numbers also say Bieber is a pop wonder. If he stays in the business and continues to sell will you put him up there with Bruce? | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Whatthe, those of us who do not care for the music of the E-Street Band are not necessarily missing out on an absolute truth. It's a relative thing. You like what you like, you don't like what you don't like. I wish I liked everything, life would ... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... I have to say Petty is another artist who had me scratching my head over his popularity. It's not bad stuff, just not the stuff musical dreams are made of (IMHO). I like the guy as a person, from what I've seen, and I think he has good taste in mu... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Bdp, I have a friend who once announced he was going to release an album entitled "Songs in the Key of E." He did not follow through on the promise, but I thought it was a good title. | |
| Diminishing hearing ability? You can have your ears cleaned professionally.You can't do anything about bad source material. If it's not recorded and copied well you are SOL.You might be surprised and disappointed were you to listen to your 5k system today. | |
| What drives your music and live show preference? After 50 years of concert-going (from classical to pop), I rarely go to a live performance anymore due to high ticket prices, the talent available, and the hassle. I've already heard most of the folks I would want to hear (often multiple times) bu... |
