I have really enjoyed this thread. Now I know the group I need to consult when choosing music to test my next pair of speakers (they will be bigger Klipschs to be sure)!
To those who experienced the 70's (and you know who you are) you guys know some fine music. Although nobody mentioned Little Feat, this omission will be overlooked. My favorite stuff, the stuff I keep in my iPod, would be from the 80's. Light happy stuff like Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, SOD, MOD, Flotsam and Jetsam, Exodus, and Testament (the last two are not CCM, if you were wondering). I have seen Metallica about 18 times. Every tour from Hell on Earth on. I will try to see them on this latest tour, I just hope they don't play too much new stuff. Not that its bad musically, it just doesn't seem to be all there. Kind of like Jello that didn't set right. You just can't get out of rehab and make the same great angry stuff as you did before. My other favorites are the guitar gods of Stevie Ray Vaughn and Joe Satriani. I have almost their complete discographies in my little friend. I am still kicking myself for missing the G3 tour last year. Just having Satriani, Vai, and Malmsteen on the same stage should of compelled me to miss my business trip the next day, or at least flown out of Detroit. Satriani is my favorite musician to read sci-fi to. Good movie soundtrack material there. About that grunge thing in the 90's...most of the bands from the 70's were musically superior. It just seemed that lyrical anger was more important than musical ability. YMMV. Although it was nice because it was the only time my ugly flannels I wore in high school were in fashion. >From Vinyl to iPod, Matthew Bos _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
