Sticks, your are a gentleman for that!
Arctikdeth, Thin Lizzy is such a great sounding band. All of their albums sound clean and clear. There a a couple of DVD concerts they have that are really great.

Remember the single 'No Rain' from Blind Melon? The one hit wonder whose lead singer Shannon Hoon died way before his time? Kind of a soft spot for me since he and the band are from my home state. And on a side note, from the same town as Axl Rose who helped Blind Melon get a start. Hoon also sang backup on a few tunes on Use Your Illusion from GNR. I'm not a big fan of GNR, but still interesting! Going through my collection of CD's to find something that I used to listen to that might sound new again, boy did I find it! Funny how that happens. I find it happening alot with early 70's rock, and also with early to mid 90's rock. For me that is when the music is REALLY good. When it becomes timeless. About the time when 'grunge' ended, something different emerged.
Blind Melon- self titled. They only managed to get one album out before the lead man OD'd. The second album was released after his passing, but the real deal is with the first album. A true one of a kind voice with a very cool stage persona. This album has some very cool tunes that easily were much better than the tune that made them famous. Give it a spin if you can. Something different and refreshing. One thing is for sure, he certainly had a huge amount of soul...

Man, do these re master sound wonderful. I picked up this one and MMT (which is next for me to listen). I am amazed at the quality of these in stereo and I wish I had the chance to audition some of the mono versions for comparison purposes but hey, I'm not complaining. these are very well done recordings.

They sure are - I was just comparing my CD of Sgt Pepper to the remaster, and the remaster was much nicer. Now I plan to compare that to my LP (which is on some very nice vinyl - not the usual garbage pressings cranked out in the US).

I have mentioned this band before and I own pretty much all their works. This one is pretty good too! It is not my favorite for some reason although All Music has it as the top pick.

well, I dunno.
I am a staunch free speech defender but there are limits, aren't there? I mean, we really don't think its OK to use racial slurs under the protection of free speech, do we? I don't think so anyway. In your own home, sure, you can say what you want but in a public setting, I think free speech is not a license to say whatever you wish, is it?
Hell, why are we talkiung about this . . back to the tunes. ,
Re: Currently Playing « Reply #1399 on Nov 14, 2009, 8:21pm »
For me, it's ok for anyone to say what they want in whatever forum they choose - even if it's a racial slur or whatever. That just helps me (and others) know where the person stands.
I would not agree with what they would say, but I would rather know where they stand and have that be out in the open. Then, everyone can choose how much weight they put in such comments. And, I have found that the hidden hate is the most dangerous. That said, I find any racial/homophobic/other slurs highly offensive and indicative of the originator's intellect.
And, I am with Rather...now...back to the tunes...or, for me...I'm watching the Crimson Tide right now. "Rollllll Tide!!!!!!" (I am an Indiana native with a Mom from 'bama...the Tide tugs at my heart!)
