We have a very similar music aesthetic.

 

One of the very first  concept-album bands I ever listened to was Wishbone Ash. Who's Next gets better the older you get, Jethro Tull pre-Brick is pretty fugging good also. 

 

Did you know Rare Earth was the first rock/R&B band signed by Motown? They had a definite R&B funk/groove to them and I still listen to their early stuff (69-74). I saw them as the opening act at the first California Jam in April 1974...

 

 

 

 

Cassette tape became the rage when I was 15, CDs years later, so all of my music until I was into my 20's was vinyl. Hell, on Friday nights, we'd go to the Tower Records store and just go through the row upon row of albums they had, looking for the next buried treasure. Unfortunately I lost my entire record collection, probably close to 400 albums, in 1988 in a fire.

I have 300 albums from the 60s through the 80s.  From In-a-gadda-da-vida by Iron Butterfly to House of the rising Son-from The Animals album.  Fleetwood Mac- self-titled to Saturday night fever.   Unfortunately, many of them got some water damage when my basement flooded.

That is awesome man.  Very cool stuff.

 

Rare Earth and Wishbone Ash are two amazing bands and I totally agree about Who's Next.  I used to be more Zep but have really transitioned to The Who recently.

I've noticed a decent amount of hip-hop when I've gone to stores recently and was wondering how some of it sounds on Vinyl. Nice.  

 

My dad still plays his so he's not quite at the point where he's ready to give his 100+ to me haha

Yeah especially this one cause it has that grainy sound already in the music production. Playing it on vinyl gives it a really cool feel.

Nice.  I never really gave his album a full listen but being a J. Cole, Black Star, and Big L fan think I'd like him.

i'll gladly take those dead vinyl's off your hands if they're causing you too much pain :D

 

 

my father in law passed last april and my wife and i got all of his stuff... The Band, anything with Jerry Garcia, Dylan, Zeppelin, Hendrix... all amazing stuff

 

the new stuff I've bought include Jack Johnson's new album and some of his older stuff, Railroad Earth's latest album, The Avett Brothers The Carpenter, The Lumineers (if you don't know this, look it up - AMAZING), Lotus, STS9... I'm sure I'm missing some

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By strato · Posted

      Well yeah. Last time vs NO if we had had good QB play and half ass pass pro it is a different game. And that is the story more often, in point of fact, than the two or three hero games everyone wants to use to define the player.  That box was so stacked against the run it was basically impossible to break through it, you had to go over and around. It is what we knew was gonna be employed by teams and we were unable to stop them from doing it.    I am real interested to see the first 3rd and 8 and see how NO defenses it in the back end. Because they can look at that Rams tape and learn, but will they have enough fear/respect that it can happen to them or will we need to prove it again before they do?   Most people don’t learn from others’ mistakes and  need to make their own.

      Interview Tillis with Jordan Rodrigue on team building. Interesting

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      I like that Tillis is so down to earth  we will see where it goes ill say something controversial on a day that, along with next week, determines the panthers 2025  and 2026 fate  he referenced ‘money ball’, statistics and self scouting multiple times. it really makes me feel that Bryce will be back regardless of what happens over the next 4 games as that is the smart move for financial stability but by no means does that guarantee Bryce anything past that.  They will improve year over year regardless of position or who is affected       however, they will do the appropriate diligence and not cut off their nose to spite their face….it won’t be an emotional decision…unlike us Huddlers….for example, if Young’s happy ass shits the bed today, I’ll be less than pleased ..particularly having seen what they will do and having a bye week.  Brandon Staley is a good defensive coordinator and former HC.  His defense is aging but he can still develop a good game plan
