Fleetwood Mac - Hypnotized
(Oct 23, 2006 - 06:12) | Before Stevie Buckingham joined the group I really thought Bob Weir was the answer for these guys....he got all slick and now resides in the "what happened?" canister. This album/song spent a lot of time on my turn table back in the day....good choice.

Much agreed on the cover art....one of many examples of how much we've lost going from "12x"12 presentations to drink coaster size....ah I miss the "days of vinyl roses"...

If you can't steal from yourself, who can you steal from? Come on...Rock and roll is all of 3 chords...it's inevitable to bump into yourself if you write tunes for 30 yrs. Get over it.

Not even close. I can think of possibly hundres uglier. Besides, I never caught myself listening to an album cover. Well, not straight anyway.
Hey, I always thought it cool that Neil was giving that old lady a ride in his back pack.

Dire Straits - Once Upon A Time In The West
(Jul 12, 2006 - 12:50) | Some of Mark K's most lyrical playing....he stole from himself when he re-visted some of these licks on Dylan's Slow Train Coming album.....good stuff!!!

You can really feel the emotion in a lot of the songs on this disc. I went out and bought everything they ever recorded after hearing this record (I discovered them quite late).
Gotta love the note in the jacket: "This album was engineered to be played loud so turn it up".
Wow the cure and Stink Floyd in the same sentiment...it's a great country....I bet there is some music we might agree on...glad you love music...just wish you had better taste

The Cure - Disintegration
(Jul 08, 2006 - 14:00) | Wow.. I may piss people off, but the old codger in me never got the whiney (there's that word again) laments of Morrisey and these guys...I never had teenage agnst that needed this belly aching..

U2 - Walk On
(Jul 04, 2006 - 11:53) | I get so tired of the petty b-s that folks spew about these guys....listen....chuch...IRish soul...gospel...."good news"...who else is doing stuff with their celebrity as meaningful.....if you don't like this ...or this band...WALK ON... peace be w/u

The Kinks - 20th Century Man

|
Crowded House - Weather With You
(Jun 28, 2006 - 13:08) | Ok...it's a sing-off...in one corner Squeeze...in the other these guys....it's close but Crowded House wins on a family vocal chord just by a note....both quite good..
|
Nils Lofgren - Girl In Motion
(Jun 26, 2006 - 07:30) | I really love his thin yet soulful voice....he's been great for years...can I get a Grin??? Springsteen realized what valuable player he is....thanks Nils!!!
Any Crazy Horse there in paradise???

The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows
(Jun 25, 2006 - 11:40) | I remember when this sounded like the most exotic, dangerous piece of music ever....and coming from my fab 4 no less...still feels surreal...and that's a good thing 
|
The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon (live)
(Jun 25, 2006 - 10:16) | Ray and the boys are always short changed when it comes to discussing the "british invasion". He is the best writer...very Dickens like...

The Pretenders - Back On The Chain Gang

The Pretenders - Back On The Chain Gang
(Jun 25, 2006 - 10:06) | What a great crusin' song!!! Try this rumbling down the highway and watch your speedometer and check for speed traps....but this will get ya where ya going with a smile and a tune in your head.

Spirit - Animal Zoo
(Jun 25, 2006 - 08:21) | I saw Spirit headline over Cactus.(1970)..remember them...they had Vanilla Fudges's rhythm section. and Jim McCarty a good vocalist out of Detroit...Bogert and Appice later played with Jeff Beck...wow am I free assoicating or what???

I thought it sounded vaguely familiar - now it seems really obvious. Anyone else know what I'm talking about? Am I making any sense at all? Been staring at a computer screen, working, for way too long . . . I may well be hallucinating the whole thing. I didn't hear the Powaqqatsi part, though. :)
It's there man....trust your ears.

Jayhawks - All The Right Reasons
(Jun 22, 2006 - 11:25) | Sometimes sweet simple tunes settle sizzling sentiments. On some days this might seem cloying....not today... 
|
Thunderclap Newman - Something In The Air
(Jun 22, 2006 - 07:48) | One of the great over looked one-hit wonders. Appreciated most by film makers (cameron crowe,etc) rockers with cool record collections (Petty); and frustrated revolutionaires (yes that is my hand in the air).
Right arm....farm out....power to the peep-hole

Sonny Landreth - Congo Square
(Jun 22, 2006 - 02:10) | Man I love Sonny's guitar playing, but once you hear the Neville Bros. do this classic.....why would anyone else bother. Love his slide work though.
|
Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World
(Jun 21, 2006 - 12:26) | This whole set was great in that it revealed their influences and a glimpse at Kurt's record collection. You can hear the respect he has for this song.
|
Talking Heads - Psycho Killer
(Jun 21, 2006 - 12:20) | The best opening song ever used in a concert documentary. FA FA FA FA (Otis R. would be proud!!)
|
Dave Matthews Band - Digging A Ditch
(Jun 21, 2006 - 12:13) | Being and old codger (52) this is one of those bands where I see and hear the talent, but there is a drone factor that is beginning to get annoying. The band can cook though...
|
The Who - Quadrophenia
(Jun 21, 2006 - 11:50) | Always thought this piece of work was/is so much more powerful than Tommy. Gotta go catch the 5:15
|
Paul Kelly - Won't You Come Around?
(Jun 19, 2006 - 13:14) | Man where's this guy been. He put out some great records (yes wasx!!) with the Messengers. Long time no hear....thanks.

Alabama 3 - Woke Up This Morning
(Jun 19, 2006 - 06:37) | Often overlooked.....the Rice Krispies intro....good to hear Snap, Crackle and Pop in the house. Man I miss wax records.

ZZ Top - La Grange
(Jun 19, 2006 - 06:34) | For many of us old codgers this was the first BOOGIE we heard on the car radio....thank god we finally made our way to John Lee Hooker and the sources. (I must say Canned Heat boogied too...but not on the radio...they were busy "Going Up the Country" when it came to any air play at all.) 
|
Rolling Stones - Time Waits For No One
(Jun 19, 2006 - 06:12) | What a great album cover!!! I forget the guy's last name, but artist Guy (P...something me thinks) had a great style (see Bowie's Diamond Dogs Cover) and his stuff was everywhere in the mid-70's
|
Rosanne Cash - House On The Lake
(Jun 18, 2006 - 11:37) | This comes from a real powerful record. Mark my word...it will do very well at Grammy time. (and yes I know that can be a bad thing...but in this case trust your ears)....concept record about loss and renewal.
|
The Jam - Town Called Malice
(Jun 17, 2006 - 15:39) | It was here the Jam took a soulful turn that was to inform Weller's solo career for some time. I'd love to hear this live with a solid horn section.

David Bowie - Starman
(Jun 17, 2006 - 12:33) | One of the best albums (yes albums!!) from side one to side two....bring back vynyl!!! 
|
Bruce Springsteen - All the Way Home
(Jun 17, 2006 - 12:23) | This was originally recorded by Southside Johnny and the Jukes with a great horn arrangement and a kind of Drifters/Ben E. King sound and is much better than this. I can't fathom why he decided to do this arrangement. As for you bloviating fools....no one cares more about or has more passion for his music than this guy.
|
Los Lobos - Peace
(Jun 17, 2006 - 00:53) | I've always thought the Neville Bros, The Band, and these guys are the best groups ever. They can play any kind of music and play it well. Hildago's tenor is butter.
|
Hellecasters - Peter Gunn
(Jun 16, 2006 - 23:38) | I've never heard a bad version of this....guranteed bar band pleaser...."and the crowd called for more"
