Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
In 1971 I saw this new band on UCLA’s campus (for free) called Earth Wind and Fire.  I enjoyed the sound and I went out and bought their self titled album.  It sounds great especially a tune called “Bad Tune”.This one is almost impossible to find,...

Krell upgrade mistake?

Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations?
Lots of good names mentioned.  I used to play jazz guitar (before an infection impacted my left hand), and my favorites are as follows:Charlie Christian.  He basically put the electric jazz guitar on the map.  He was the original guitar hero.  By ... 
Cover songs that are better than the originals.
Another vote for Hendrix and All Along the Watchtower but I also like Bobby Womack's version.  Thr Troggs Wild Thing by Jimi.  I Heard It Through the Grapevine was originally sung by Gladys Knight and the Pips.  I think the versions by Marvin Gaye...
