thebes Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Well there are two things you can do after loading up with turkey and all the fixings, watch football or throw on some tunes. I know which one I'll be doing. Format's simple: Name of artist or group, name of album, type of music as best you can (rock, blues etc.), and recording format (cd, lp etc.) As usual I'll start it off with: Little Feat, "Time Loves a Hero", lp, rock Picked this up at an estate sale over the weekend along with a few others. Forgotten how much I enjoyed Little Feats music. Vintage 70's rock with a bit of blues and country sensibility throw in. I wouldn't rate this group as hard rockers, more balladers than anything. Still very pleasant and well recorded. So what do you have to share this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletcherkane Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 How 'bout some good Christmas music.... In the CD Player as I type....Manhiem Steamroller--Extraordinaire.

Speedball Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 The Best of Earl Klugh..... Don't let the title fool you.......It is some pretty good guitar playing. Klipsch speakers and acoustic guitars go hand in hand.....may not be for the Holiday though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skonopa Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 How 'bout some good Christmas music.... I hear yea, and on the subject of some good Christmas music... I am going to recommend Trans-Siberian Orchestra - The Lost Christmas Eve. I find this one to be quite good (although everybody says thier first one, Christmas Eve and Other Stories is thier best one). I especially love the second track, which is is the title track, "The Lost Christmas Eve". The recording quality is also very good on this disk, which I seem to notice on all of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

space_cowboy Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 What I'm listening to right now is: Happy Mondays, "Pills 'N' Thrills and BellyAches", CD, rock Crossover rock or something, I don't know, good party deck. Connected a small sub for reinforcement. All tracks are good, one of my fave CD's. Hat's off to thebes for Little Feat, Time Loves a Hero is a classic. Lowell George is one of the best male vocalists in history.... Cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
