Yea, vinyl only sounds great through great speakers. My dad's speakers keep ruining his new amplifier tubes, he spent over $100 on them :mad:

[QUOTE=Woodstock]Yes, but if they were never used, that's what would happen.[/QUOTE]

Then what is the point. Vinyl gets scratched just as easy as CDs.

I'm listening to the Grateful Dead cover Not Fade Away. Its good.

Wood Speakers>Yours.

The version on Skull and Roses is great.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]Then what is the point. Vinyl gets scratched just as easy as CDs.[/QUOTE]
The point is that over time, vinyl is the better choice.

[QUOTE=lunch998]Wood Speakers>Yours.[/QUOTE]
I want some very badly.

Let There Be More Light is a really cool song.

[QUOTE=lunch998]Let There Be More Light is a really cool song.[/QUOTE]
By who?

NP-Grateful Dead-Dear Mr. Fantasy

Actually I have heard various times that Vinyl wears down, causing one to have to buy another copy of an album.

Pink Floyd on Saucerful of Secrets.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]Actually I have heard various times that Vinyl wears down, causing one to have to buy another copy of an album.[/QUOTE]
Probably after intense playing.

[QUOTE=lunch998]Pink Floyd on Saucerful of Secrets.[/QUOTE]
That album I dont have.

I want it though.

Np-Grateful Dead-Hey Jude

[QUOTE=Livewired]That album I dont have.

Np-Grateful Dead-Hey Jude[/QUOTE]

I could send it to you later, or many other people probably can.

Well, I've listened to some of my albums hundreds of times, and they are in good condition. Most likely because to play, they do not need a sharp need running on them.

But whatever. Let's drop it.

[QUOTE=lunch998]Let There Be More Light is a really cool song.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. I love that song.


I mainly listen to vinyl. I think one of the main reasons vinyl can last much longer than CDs, is just because you don't carry your records around, or use them in your car and stuff like that. Very rarely do my records venture any further than my basement. CDs always just get wrecked from carelessness, if you can treat your CDs with respect, they will last just as long as vinyl probably. (sorry to bring up a dead topic)

Every year in a city just south of me there's a blues festival, and it's one of the biggest in the nation. I've never gone, but I think I might this year because the Levon Helm Band is gonna be there. It should be awesome.

What are your favorite classic rock albums?

Mine:

Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix Experience
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Animals - Pink Floyd
Back in Black - AC/DC
Revolver - The Beatles

Too many to name.

Here's another question. What city do you believe spawned the greatest bands?

My answer is San Francisco or course.

How similiar is Captain Beefheart to Frank Zappa? Or does he just sing on Willie The Pimp and isn't very similar at all?

[QUOTE=magicbus]How similiar is Captain Beefheart to Frank Zappa? Or does he just sing on Willie The Pimp and isn't very similar at all?[/QUOTE]

He isn't that similar. Frank Zappa's music (With possible exception for early material) is very structured and usually clean. While Beefheart's music is very Free-Jazz influenced and messy.

Beefheart and Zappa were chilhood friends, btw.

I prefer Beefheart though.

I loved listening to vinyl until my dad stole the amp back...

Argh! I can't find an accurate tab for Iggy Pop's-Gimme Danger. That has one of the best acoustic riffs.

Interesting. Thanks for your input. :thumb:

Any songs I should hear first to start with him?
