I wish I still had room for a killer sound system. City living and kids have their disadvantages.
Thats good. I would just suggest be open with technology and be willing to give it a try. Some of it is dumb but it can also be really cool I love that you are learning new ####, that is very cool.
The accessibility of music is incredible now. To be able to listen to pretty much whatever I want wherever I want is a music's fan dream come true.
Yea it is pretty bulky. I really wish I had done what my buddy did. While we were all spending our money on stereo equipment he was buying Krugerrands. I wonder who was smarter? He was buying them for about 140 bucks a pop. Thing is if I remember correctly as PFCs we were only making about 90 bucks a month.
I love Spotify for this reason. I do miss the relationship I had with physical albums, the liner notes, pics & lyrics. All can be found online , can really deep dive for info but it’s still not the same. Probably just the nostalgia
It's one of the reasons I still search for "albums" through Pandora (and I'm sure others). Nothing like knowing ahead of time what that next song is going to sound like. I can remember any time hearing some of the albums I played out expecting to hear that next song. Nothing beats it, the way music was intended to be heard.
Funny story on Stranglehold. I teach HS and our former gym teacher played this song at the start of every gym class. It was their warm up run. Everyday, Stranglehold blaring in the gym, kids running laps. He always joked that one day a former student would be crossingt the street, hear Stranglehold playing from a car, and the kid would sprint into traffic. It's not funny, but it is.
Beat me to it. If I’m going to listen to Nugent, my preference would be via the Amboy Dukes. Maybe even Damn Yankees. Just not a fan.
Really liked that White Stripes song. Really bluesy I like that. Reminds me of someone can't quite put my finger on it.
LOL yea I am going to miss the boat on that one too.The Bitcoin of the Classic Rock era
It has some great stuff, but, like many double albums, is very bloated. Kashmir is the obvious classic, and I am a huge fan of Ten Years Gone, Down by the Seaside and In My Time of Dying, but a lot of the rest seems like middle of the road Zeppelin stuff. As a whole, it just doesn't stack up to I, II, IV or Houses of the Holy, but hey, it was Led Zeppelin and who was going to tell them not to do a double album?
Dang, if that ain't the truth. I remember being a kid praying a song I liked would come on the radio so I could quickly hit record on my cassette deck that I had waiting. And then I would listen to that crappy recording ad nauseam.
Yep, I get it. I don't pretend to be a music connoisseur and I would get laughed at too for some stuff I like (and lose my man card in the process). Art is subjective and all that. We like what we like.
Sheesh how did I forget that when I was listing great songs off PG
Ten Years Gone is one of my favorite Zep songs. Embarrassing They have so many good ones its hard to remember them all.Sheesh how did I forget that when I was listing great songs off PG
I don't want to give people the wrong impression of me( was a long time ago ) but one word hallucinogenics. Nothing makes a lasting impression like tripping your balls off for the first time in the back of a VW listening to Dark Side Of The Moon. Not that I would recommend that for anyone now,but every time I hear money I think about that. It may not be number 1 but it has to be right up there in the top 5.
One of the only things I collect these days are off-brand Chinese in-ear monitors. I order a bunch of different IEMs from Chinese e-commerce sites based on what the
at head-fi.org are currently touting as the price/performance champs. It's fun when they magically appear at my doorstep 2-4 weeks later. There a re a variety of small unknown companies who pack a lot of technology into tiny form factors for very little money. I've gotten IEMs with dual dynamic drivers _and_ two balance armatures for 15-20 bucks shipped. The sound quality measures favorably against my Sennheiser Momentum over ears. Cans will always give better soundstage but IEMs offer intimacy and convenience. Plus I don't look like a huge dork when I'm walking the dog.
Interesting. Any offbrands you recommend? I have a pair of Audio Technica and imo they are perfection.One of the only things I collect these days are off-brand Chinese in-ear monitors. I order a bunch of different IEMs from Chinese e-commerce sites based on what the
Classic rock is still better though when played through a killer sound system with big woofers and tweeters.
I'm not obsessive enough to spend much time on Head-Fi but I'll lurk around there before placing an order.
I’ve been given the same argument about, among other things, James Joyces’ Ulysses, the art of Jackson Pollack, and the New Testament. I’ve never “gotten” any of them.
Agree with this. I've listened to it hundreds of times easy. It's an introspective work of art, the quintessential capture of the human condition. Great Gig in the Sky still gives me chills, my favorite track. Like a defiant howl against the tragedy of mortality (how's that for pseudo intellectual teeny bopper analysis
)This song is amazing too, especially played really loudly. No way is this remotely a weak or middle of the road LZ song. So many great songs on PG.
I'm glad you started it. I have been listening to new tunes all day plus some old ones. You are wrong about Dark Side of the Moon though.
