My granddaughter commented that I wasn't listening to Christmas music in the car... so I found a few of my favorites on Spotify to listen to at work since I forgot to load them on a USB drive for the car:
And I already own several of the separate releases with "complete" artist shows - Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Joplin, Sly, Airplane, Santana, CCR, and the MP3s of BS&T (and I really wish they'd release theirs on a separate disc outside of a box set). There aren't many of the other artists who I...
The is the 6 disc CD set from Rhino consisting of tracks from almost all of the acts which performed over the 3 days in order of their appearance on stage. I'm on the Arlo Guthrie tracks on disc 2 and so far it's quite good. It sounds significantly better than my old, original, 3 disc vinyl...
I think that's their first album - from 1972. While looking at what Spotify has of theirs this one jumped out:
but...
I sampled "Avalon." Nope... I like it even less than their debut. It has that early 80s disco/pop sound with typical 80s production and instrumentation (the sound that...
:laugh: No - that's this week, starting with Monday and going through the time I posted.
I ripped my collection (~1400 CDs) when I purchased a new car 3 years ago as it didn't have a CD option, just USB. I have the stuff I listen to most on several USB sticks and use those in the car -...
Al Green:
All I've ever heard from Green prior to these is his hits on Top 40 radio in the 60s/70s. I've looked at several "Greatest Albums" type lists and some of his hit many of them so I decided it was time to give them a listen. They're quite good. He's also from a town about 50 miles...
Quite a few today...
In a first time listen:
They were surprisingly good on that show. This, unfortunately, is only available as MP3 - but it's their full show. All the discs I've seen just have a few numbers they performed that day.
And Walter got some Badfinger stuck in my head so I had...
OK... That's just a bit funny... I had a hankerin' to hear "Domino" by Kiss (one of 3 or 4 songs they did I'll willingly select to hear) so played "Revenge" today which has their remake of that song. I came here to post that and a few others and see your last listen posted. :)
I prefer...
A few weeks ago I used my daughter's vehicle to pick up my grandson. She had her SiriusXM on "The Beatles Channel" and a cover of "Two of Us" came on. OMG... it was *horrible*!! Incorrect lyrics and poorly played. I didn't see who it was but it immediately soured me on that channel. Why...
I discovered and listened to this today:
Some good stuff. I was surprised at how long it ran - about 4 hours at work and it wasn't done when I went home.
Well... turns out the Dylan song my grandson had heard is "Blowin' in the Wind" from:
We'd gone through GH2 and GH3 and this one was next. "Blowin' in the Wind" started and he goes "That's it!" Sad part is I don't own a copy of GH1 as I have all the albums represented on that one...
My grandson (16) got in the car, looked over what was on the USB drive, and selected:
He'd heard a Dylan song he liked and wanted to hear more. I'd been waiting for Dylan as I feel he's somewhat an acquired taste. The 8yo has liked most of the songs on that album. At that age, her mom...
My 2 oldest granddaughters (ages 12 & 8) asked for so I've played:
This weekend Spotify, I believe, played a "listener's best of The Beatles" and the 12yo was devastated that "Hey Jude" wasn't #1 (it was #2 - "A Day in the Life" was #1). That's her absolutely favorite Beatles song...
Interesting that you listened to "Big Balls" Jr. I started this one yesterday afternoon and "Big Balls" played this morning on the way to work/taking the grandkids to school. My 15yo grandson said this afternoon "I've never heard that 'Big Balls' song before. It's... interesting..."
