fini Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Pink Floyd and the Beatles were good, but lacked the stylish depth of bands like The Fugs. fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMcD Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 It occurs to me that we're talking a lot of money here. It would take a lot of cash, and time, to listen to a sample of them all. Let me suggest you pick one group which appeals to you and listen to series of the releases. It would be difficult to go wrong with The Beatles. You'll be listening to a couple of decades of the music which predominated the times. The downside to The Beatles, The Doors, L&S, CSN&Y, etc. is that much of their work has been terribly overplayed on FM. Over the years they've gone from current to classic to oldies. You though may not have heard some of them the first and second time around; as I did. None the less, a deeper study of one or two groups may be more entertaining than a survey of them all. You can find coffee table books at Borders which set out any given group's history. It might be entertaining to read and listen. Best, Gil Edit: L&S should be L&M for Loggins and Messina.

garymd Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Gil, Just out of curiousity, who is L&S? Maybe I'm braindead right now but I can't figure it out and it's driving me nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any - some folks mentioned Yes. I have thier YesYears box set that came out in the late 80's. Quite a collection of some of thier best stuff - on four CD's! Others to think of: How about: Styx The Cars Asia Aldo Nova Rush (Chronicles is a pretty decent collection of a lot of thier stuff) Toto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Yes, you're correct. I messed up. I also failed to consider, as others have pointed out, that many box sets are available. Some don't appeal to me in that sometimes they look like expanded "best of". The original sequence is burned in my brain and any departure gives me musical whiplash.

Marshal Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 There's a new 22 song collection of the Steve Miller Band's Greatest Hits that's been digitally remastered and appropriately titled Steve Miller Band: The Complete Greatest Hits. Just bought it yesterday but haven't had a chance to give it a spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthfreek Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I have to throw in a few cds by one of my favorite acts, The Orb. I've suggested the albums UFOrb and Adventures From The Ultraworld to MANY Pink Floyd fans and they've ALL loved these discs. I can only descibe this as some of the trippiest, colorful music I've ever heard. Crazy 3D soundscapes with a Floyd feel but an ambient/electronic production. Lots of NASA dialog/samples. Deep reggae/dub basslines that will shake your house's foundation. Psychedelic guitar work from 70's underground guitar guru Steve Hillage. Don't try to listen to a 30 second snippet on amazon. It WILL NOT give you the big picture of their sound. They even spoof Floyd with a lot of their album artwork. BUY THESE 2 ALBUMS. Try to locate a used 2cd version of UFOrb and avoid the watered down and edited single disc version Adventures...Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Add It's A Beautiful Day_."White Bird" was a defining song for it's era.What a great list of music.I just ordered four remastered CD's by Moody Blues. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 ssh, Thanks for the reminder about White Bird. Adding to the list, Renesance and the Tale of Sheherzade (sp?). The female lead had perfect pitch and a magnificent voice. The guy is a bit flat. A nice bit of opera in the time of expanding rock.
