Wow. Thanks....so many great suggestions.
Espcially many I have loved in the past and haven't listened to since I have been so into jazz the last 15 years.
Just a couple that I immediately want to get having been reminded of you nice folks...
Early Young, and always meant to get a CD of On the Beach
Ry Cooder, definitely
Stevie Winwood
Dire Straights
Dave Mason
Birds
Joni Mitchell
David Lindley and Richard Thompson definitely, DL is killer on JB
CSNY .... I just recently got a CD of Crosby's CD ...If only I could remember my name...
Have recently got back into Little Feat
Have never stopped listening to the Dead
Boz Scaggs
First two doobies...
and I need to go get the Cars, and Tres Hombresl
And I never stopped listening to the Stones, well got a couple CDs a couple years ago...or Henbdrix, or Floyd, or AC/DC. Or Stevie Ray.
Need to check out Hornsby and the Jayhawks...
Just that I've been getting into Petty and Browne as some less heavy but just really good rock, and would like to find some more.
Last night I went to Hastings and got 461 Ocean Blvd, listening to now; Boston (the one where Tom Scholtz played everything, never knew that), and The Alman Brothers at Filmore East.
And the Alman Brothers and Clapton raise the point:
I really long for great rock that is recorded well. The cymbals are non-existent on these CDs. And the Clapton says "Clapton Remasters." I guess they just didn't lay the info down back in the day. After spending much time in the last couple months listening to Stanley Clark (jazz in the garden), Best of the Modern Jazz Quartet, Tethered Moon, and a few other jazz CDs that are so incredibly well recorded, in the process of selecting speakers, I miss the cymbals. I ended up with ProAc One SCs, and what they do with cymbals is a big reason.
And I just am not connected with more contemporary rock, to know who I'd like, but would be really well recorded. I love Nirvana but have not gotten into a lot of the alternate rock from Seattle and since, like...huh, can't name any.
Anyway....thank you!
Can anybody loan me a couple hundred bucks?
Jim
