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

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
