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

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Im not angry. Im disappointed. I want to win. Anyone who has watched Bryce play the last 3 years and thinks that this team has in any way seriously addressed the glaring deficiencies in our QB room is deluding themselves. It's been explained ad nauseum how our FO has protected Bryce from feeling even slightly challenged or pressured. A GM without an interfering owner would have brought in another QB to at least give the team a better chance at winning. We just gave an extension to a QB that only got 3k yards on the last play of his 16th game of the year. Indy admitted AR wasn't good enough by bringing in Jones to compete for the starting role. Tennessee drafted Ward to replace Levis. Stroud hasn't repeated his 1st year and Mills' performance was decent when he filled in after Stroud's injury and some were calling for him to remain starter. His future there is still in question even with a 5th year. We should have done the same, especially given that Bryce was benched.  Bringing in Grier is just another glaring billboard pronouncing the obvious. Dave Tepper still has his hands in the daily operations of this team. He controls the QB room because Bryce was his pick. Until Tepper finally admits that Bryce has barely lived up to the standards of a NFL Qb, we're going to spend our days reminiscing of when we were mediocre and finished 9-7.  It's just discouraging. We'll address every position on the field except the one with a glaringly obvious shortcoming. I had hoped Tepper really had backed off. Bryce's 5th year, Dalton's 2 year contract then trade, Kenny Pickett, Will Grier, Jack Plummer, and  Hendon Hooker say otherwise. It already feels like it's going to be a hard year of Panthers football to watch.
