Because we weren't discussing jazz let alone Polish jazz. ;) Jazz is a whole other argument. We were discussing why the industry feels it necessary to release buckets of "classic rock" and not release something like Coldplay who won 2 Grammys, is a critical success as well as a sales...
Rich - And to use Peter Gabriel as an example. Do you believe that Peter Gabriel's recording quality, mixing technique, and his overall palette he's working with screams for hires/MC music more than say Jefferson Airplane? That is what I've been trying to say. New is good in many cases. :)...
Al - I'm sure I would enjoy Heathen to some extent. I said the same thing with Tin Machine for about a month. Its nothing against Bowie - I think he is brilliant and I absolutely see him as a major influence but his later work just doesn't do anything for me. Lee - thats one Beck CD. and...
Rich - no, your selection of the handful of bands is a strange mix. That being said, it is a tiny handful and I'd have to put Gabriel and Roxy Music and Bowie into the "Same old stuff" category at this point. George - I don't know. I have the DVDA by Glen Phillips (formerly of Toad the Wet...
Raul - you're right. I attempted to make my point without clarifying where my musical experiences are coming from. Apologies. The post was prompted by other threads exulting the releases of CCR and Heart on SACD like this was some coup for the format! Rich - Bowie definitely is adventurous...
Rich - because I listen to and appreciate those bands as well. Geez, I'm glad I don't like in your black and white world. You are grouping Coldplay with Insane Clown Posse on an artistic level? And you keep insisting that Coldplay and the like don't care about recording quality and only skate...
George - you are 6 years older than me. if you are saying that no one in our age group can appreciate Wilco -AND- Jimi Hendrix, then I completely disagree as do most of my friends. Its funny - I'm definitely getting the my music rules and all new music sucks vibe. There is a lot of stuff...
Rich - Linkin Park? Please. Don't group me in that category. As for OK Computer, how do I know what all the orginal masters sound like? I'm not a recording engineer. I want modern acts in multichannel mixes - THAT'S IT. And I don't begrudge CCR - I've listened to my vinyl copy of Cosom's...
Please people, no need to have a generational flame war. George - if you read my profile and my previous post you would know how old I am. I am 35. Of course Creedence is great. I have 500 vinyl albums. Blah blah blah. I am not too close minded to value and RESPECT current stuff as well...
Is this format dying before it even started? I was very interested in these formats until I decide to peruse some titles. Is there anything recent coming out on these formats? Where is Wilco, Radiohead, Coldplay, Phish, Flaming Lips, or ANYTHING recent? Does a hi res copy of a Creedence...
