The first years the playlist for me always sounded fresh and exotic with a great mix of classic and new songs. Now it has become very repetitive for me. When I listen to XM's Loft I am constantly hearing new songs. I only listen to that in the car though. The selections on The Loft are not that great but at least they are new. They talk way too much on XM and they are really banal. I think your critique is helpful and I hope others make this point. RP needs to pick more cuts off more albums, even albums from the past, it doesn't matter. Just as long as I have not heard it before. I often think we are limited to hearing only what Bill likes. His skill is what makes this a great station but it could be improved by trying out some other songs that he may not like so much and letting us decide via the rating. I've been listing to RP for, what—12 years?—and I can't disagree more. RP is always fresh. In the car, I'd rather the frequent dropouts on RP from the poor cell coverage in the Portland hills than anything on XM, including The Loft. It's missing something essential that is definitely there in RP—no doubt Bill's magic touch. |

Awesome, one of those songs that always resonates in my head. And Stairway to Heaven is LedZep, not the Who.

... when logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead.
It took me all of these past 46 years to finally hear this lyric for what it is.
Yes, indeed ...

Same blowing effect
As for the other songs, Pink Floyd, the first time I listened to "Wish you were here", The Who's "Stairway to Heaven" , "Say it ain't so" by Murray Head I think, Rolling Stones' Angies, Lou Reed's perfect day...oh I realise this list could be endless. These first times all occured in the seventies. Some of them lasted, others didn't as if time erased their power. Or may be going from teen age to adult hood changes the ears? Repetition is a factor too.
I had the same effect with some classical music too Casta Diva by La Callas, Mozart Concerto for Clarinet & Oboe Adagio(Out of Africa made it famous), Astor Piazzola, Coltrane, ...and so MANY more!
Nice call
Bohemian Rhapsody, Sultans of Swing, lust for life, common people, it's a long way to the top... |

This song is very short and totally magical and can not get tired of it. I guess they made it on some magical thing too :).

This song blew my mind when I first heard it. I only wish I could recapture that "Holy $Hi!!" moment when the song ended and all I wanted was to listen to it again.
Other songs that have done that over the years:
I Am A Rock by Simon and Garfunkel
More Than a Feeling by Boston (crazy, I know)...but I was a kid
Black by Pearl Jam
You?

as a bonus the vinyl has that tube dynamic range and grain-less sound that lets you turn it up and up w/o distortion

Tippster wrote:I'd also like to ask you when the last time was that the US military actually defended against an attack on the USA from an outside force. Some say its the current War on Terror, but that's a rather shallow argument. I think it was the war of 1812. Just to nitpick, the War of 1812 was initiated by the US so arguably one might have to go back even further. Although, the fighting did happen on North American soil and obviously there were military attacks on the US over the course of events. Still, I agree with the overall thrust of your post. Interesting insight re: freedoms. |
