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

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
