Whats playing on your system today?


Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.

I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....

Then I pulled out "Gamma". 
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....

Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

slaw,

The baby's? I have got to locate my copy of Union Jacks! You have inspired me.

N
Tull is a genius, with over 40 albumns in his catalog. He is playing in at the Aronoff center in Cincinnati on April 12th. Just miles from my home. 

Listened to Rick Braun, "Full Stride". And I just finished Russ Ballard, "Barnet Dogs". Ever heard it?

N
oleschool, 

Thanks for the correction. I got ahead of myself. Ian Anderson is obviously the man. The tour is currently billed as Jethro Tull With Ian Anderson.  So it should be fantastic. 

slaw, 

You've been busy today ! I've heard some but not all of your list. I'll give thsm a listen. 

I also need to check out the Marsalis/Clapton. Thank you.  

So far today I've listened to the self titled "Joe Satriani". Great sounding on CD. Has anyone heard it on LP? And also Faith no More "The real thing".

N


slaw, 

I'm with you on Rush. One of my fav albumns. 2112 next. 

How about The Cult?  Any fans. Ian Astbury is a total rock star. Billy Duffy, (under rated.) "Sweet soul sister", " Love removal machine", "Edie ". The list goes on. 

N
radfrad,

This a.m. I began with Radiohead ", The Bends".
Iron Maiden’s first albumn , "Killers".
Counting Crows, "August and everything after".
Robert Cray, "Strong Persuader" is up next.

N
slaw, 

Please reconsider your decision. Your knowledge and experience will be missed.

Best regards, 
Nutty
 I would like to thank everyone who takes time to participate in this activity. 

N
This afternoon my wife took over the remote. Here was her play list.
Marvin Gay, "what's going on".
Stevie Wonder "Songs in the key of life". 
Diana Krall, "Love scenes". 

N

If your into the Spocks Beard album mentioned above,  check out the bass guitar licks on track 6. The leads of Neil are great also. Neil plays the lead without a pick!

N
Started the day with-
Spocks Beard, "Breif Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep". Entire albumn. I've seen Spocks beard with Dream Theater at Bogarts in Cincinnati. Amazing show.
Chicago, "The Chicago Transit Authority". Entire albumn. 

N
bg1968-
The Cult is touring promoting their new albumn. I don't have it yet. Have you heard it? 

radfrad, ghosthouse,
The closest to me that Trower will be touring is over two hours away. Unfortunately I will miss him this time around. Don't know how much longer the guy will be around. 

ghosthouse, 
I'm still glad your digging Glenn Hughes. He's one in a million. 

facten,
Im unfamiliar with your selections but I am going to check them out.

sotaphile, 
I'm  a big Santana fan. Even with Neil Sean. I've seen CSN twice. 

raymonda,
As I've stated earlier in the thread, Tommy Bolin was great. I like the "Private eyes"
albumn also. However for some reason "Lotus" from Teaser speaks to me when played at an appropriate level. Not the best recording on CD but it still rocks.

N


Check out the bass licks on track 7 also at 1 min and 30 sec. Sounds a little like a Rush song.

N
Lena Horn, " Love".
Kenny Wayne Shepherd, "You can't judge a book by the cover".
Mark Ethdredge "Connected".
Acoustic Alchemy, "One for Shorty".

N

I downloaded the Continental Drifters, "Vermillion" last night. Listened this morning. I like it a lot. Going to give it a few more spins over the next few days.

Also this morning...Ambrosia, "One Eighty ". 

N

asvjerry,

I have great respect for variety.  We have the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.

Thanks for mentioning The Tubes. I saw them years ago at Bogarts in Cincinnati. Fee Wabill came into the audience during the performance and took my friends Fosters Lager from him and chugged it, autographed it and went back on stage.  

Also a big NIN fan, Little feat. Dire Straits too. I'll explore some of your other selections as well. 
 
Today I listened to Toto, "Hydra ", entire albumn. 
Also Candlebox  S/T. I particularly like the song "Rain". 

N



The Reverend Horton Heat, Smoke 'Em if you got 'Em. (and various others)
Kind of like Brian Setzer. 

N
I agree, Lindsay Buckingham is a great musician and song writer. I believe Rolling Stone magazine had him listed in the top 100 best guitarist. 
Though I didnt follow him far from Fleetwood Mac, I do own "Buckingham Nicks", (1978) and "Go Insane", (1984). 

I've been listening to the Buddy Guy stuff. Excellent. I really enjoy listening to as much of the media mentioned as time permits. Thanks for the education. 

This afternoon I listened to Blue Oyster Cult, "Secret Treaties", entire CD. I really ennoy "Dominance and Submission ".

N
rubent, 

Unfortunately did not catch the show. In fact, I was not aware he was even performing in the area. Huge mistake on my part. Was there an opening act?

I saw Steve Morse there a few years back.  

I should consider going the Dayton event. 

asvjerry, 

I watched the YouTube link for Deadmau5. It is a great show and the song is fantastic as well. Never hear of the artist prior to your post. Yes, artist! Thanks for the recommendation. 

Hello tfl303,

I took your advice and listed to Duke Elington, "Live at Newport". I did enjoy every minute. Very nice recording. 

N
 
After listening to David Gilmour and Pink Floyd yesterday I was reminded of a song by Paul Rogers and the Law.  "Stone", and it features David Gilmour. There is other talent on the albumn as well, Kenny Jones, Pino Palladino and Brian Adams. 
"Stone" is my fav cut though. 

Aslo listened to a cut by Riot, "Shadows". 

Then a song by Tony Iommi featuring Ian Astbury, "Flame on". Great stuff.
Ian Astbury also has 2 solo albumns. Not great but worth a spin if your a fan.

Now I'm tracking "Just Tonight", by The Pretty Reckless, just for fun!

N
radfrad, 

Great set last night. I read that DP was going to be inducted. Took them long enough. Did Tommy Bolin get mentioned? I know Glenn Hughes was slated to be included.

Today so far I have listened to Max Webster. The albumn is called Universal Juveniles. The particular song is "Battle Scar". The song features RUSH on the recording!

Next was Hero Jr. A Grungy little band! Songs were a cover of the Beatles "Eleanor Rigby", originals "Bottom of the end", "Graveyard of mirrors" 

N
radfrad, 

About 6 months ago, a local radio stagion, 89.1fm was discussing Chicago and Steve Miller and why they were not in the Hall of fame. Good to hear that Cheap Trick got the nod as well. Big fan of them as well. 

My system has been on 24/7 also. I've been busy as well.

N

boxer1,

I've not heard Mark Lanegan solo work or Do make say think. Need to look into it. 

Today so far:
Slash, "By the sword" featuring Andrew Stockdale.
Tool, "Sober".
Coheed and Cambria, "Welcome home".
Genesis, "The knife" and "Turn it on again". 
Dream Theater, "Illumination Theory".

N
So far today-
Tears for fears, "Songs from the big chair". Entire CD.
Judas Preist, Sad wings of destiny ". (Amazing) entire CD.
Bobby Darin, The song, "Mac the knife". (Played it twice) On CD. This is perhaps my favorite song ever! Any genre.

N



Steve Morse, "New Years Day". (U2 cover)

For all of the Glenn Hughes lovers out there, there is GH Holiday music available. 

N

Today I started with Alice Cooper, "Hey stoopid". (1991)
It has a long list of guest appearances.  
Ozzy, Joe Satriani, Slash, Vai, Vinnie Moore, Mick Mars, Hugh McDonald and Nikki sixx.

Listened to "Styx Paradise Theater". I remember the albumn/vinyl had a picture on it. If your a Styx fan, as I am, I wonder if you ever realized that track 4, "Nothing ever goes as planned" is almost entirely "Reggae? 

(Oh, one more item. Rory Gallagher is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, yet. Go figure).

N
Zappa was a gunies!

And to think, The Rolling Stones asked Roy Buchanan to be in their band and he declined. Buchanan is one of my faves. 

Dont hate me but Prince did a pretty mean cover of a Beatles song. 

N
Akron, Indy, Ft.Wayne. That's as close to Cincinnati that Trower will be. I might make the trek if I can get a couple of friends to embark on the trip. Definitely ordering the new albumn. 

Today I've only listened to Joe Bonamossa, "Slo Gin".

N

Any ambrosia fans out there? Classified as progressive/soft rock. Big fan. Some of the recordings are better than others. I do recall some of the vinyl sounding pretty good. I pulled out some of my favorites today.

I listened to several CD'S but some of the tunes that are stuck in my head are-
"How can you love me", "For Openers", "Holding on to yesterday" and Nice, nice very nice". I really anjoy the vocal harmonies. 

N
Back on 4/6, just a few post above, I mentioned Candlebox. I know they are just another Seattle band in a long list of them. Not the best not the worst. But the song "Rain" stands out to me. It's got a blues groove that is different from the rest of their music. 

I saw them years back live at the Univercity of Cincinnati.  A fan tossed a Viking helmet with horns on stage. The lead singer duct taped it to his head and performed the next several songs. It was a good rock n roll concert, in my opinion. 

I found this link on YouTube for "Rain". It.was captured live in seattle.

N
Actually Mr. Sammy Hagar wrote the song "Bad Motor Scooter ". That gives us a perfect segue into his career.

N

radfrad-

Amen! I've ordered the new Trower from Amazon. But right now I'm spinning Ronnie Montrose, "Open fire"- Town without pity.  The Levinson has been spinning the electric utility meter into overdrive. 

N
lezdam, facten, martykl-

A lot of good music mentioned this morning. Some of it I was unaware of and have been listening to it already, Thanks! Like "Stray Dog" and "The rides".  Both are great. I see Stray dog did a Beatles cover of Drive my car. 

I have BBM, definitely a supergroup. Moving onto Jeremy Spencer and Brett Lucas. 
Gonna see what their about. I haven't listened to Mr. Spencer sine the Fleetwood Mac days.

N



Good morning-

So far- "Eight Star", Toni Iommi featuring Glenn Hughes. Guitar hero, vocal legend and excellent bass man. 

N
Hughes/Thrall, S/T entire CD. (MTV had a video from this albumn) Hughes was also in a band called Trapeze. If your interested, a link to YouTube for a compiation of Glenn Hughes' finest, vocal abilities. Its about 16 min.
