I have developed a deep appreciation for Brian Wilson. A complex person and a musical genius. The Beach Boys were my favorite band until 4 mop-haired kids showed up from Liverpool.

I could never warm up to the BB's for some reason. I was, still am, a big Beatles fan but when the Stones covered "Little Red Rooster", "I Want To Hold Your Hand" seemed kind of lame !!!!

Very true, and then The Beach Boys put out Pet Sounds and The Beatles followed with Sgt Peppers and music took off in a whole new direction

Playing now

Looking forward to seeing them Feb 6

September of my Years
FRANK SINATRA | Format: Vinyl

Well, music may have taken off in a whole new direction, but still something to be said for the classics.

This hits close to home.

Badger – One Live Badger Atco Records SD 7022 US 1973

an interesting live 1st lp from a UK band that didn't stay together . . . one of the founders was Tony Kaye Ex-Yes keyboardist, well worth the $2 I paid for it last year

Gene,

About 3 years ago I bought 6 or 8 boxes of LPs at a yard sale. I didn't want them all, I wanted to cherry pick the albums, but it was all or nothing. Turned out I'm glad as I like a lot of what I didn't have or hadn't heard. In one of the boxes there were about 50 78's, and in another were a couple of Ink Spots records, Handel's Messiah, and a bunch of Sinatra. Although they are still in the box, one of these days I'm gonna clean a couple and throw them on the TT and see if I have a new found appreciation. In the meantime, rock on

I've been developing an appreciation of classical, have 3 different Messiahs, can't say I like any of them.

As for Frank, it's hit or miss, but when he hits, I do enjoy it.

Once again Jim you've got this Brit stumped on a UK band

You've already given me plenty of homework and keep on topping it up

It's a fun topic though

Try the later stuff like Pet Sounds & Smile. Very complex music with incredible harmonies and lots of different instruments. The Beatles said Pet Sounds was the most influential album they had heard at the timw and directly lead to Sgt. Peppers.

WOW! I have this on CD and the vinyl just sounds so much better. I just sent the band an email through their website thanking them for releasing this album on vinyl and asking them to release the first two on vinyl.
