Need help putting together a better Let It Be/Get Back set
The press release on Let It Be...Naked has been a bit disappointing so far. Unless there's some crucial information being withheld, there seems to be only 50-60 minutes worth of material spread out over two discs, and unless some radical new mixes or different performances are being used, all but 20...

You know, I just came across this old post and I have to say one thing - what the fuck do I have to apologize for? "Lack of knowledge" my ass you arrogant prick, this is a discussion on rock guitarists. "Andre Segovia"...how about naming more than one classical guitarist? What is that, your token cl...

Geez, man, you don't have to be a snob about it. Just put your own 15 together and post it. First of all, I'm not that well-versed in classical guitar (is too dum, I suppose), so I'm not going to put Segovia on my list even though I've heard only a few recordings he's done that weren't even his best...

Best guitarists in rock n' roll
Yeah, I bring this up 'cuz of Rolling Stone, but it's a pretty popular poll/list to conduct. Everyone's done it, the best being Mojo. I believe I'm thinking of Mojo's; it was a great list because it listed an excellent example of each person's guitar work. So in that spirit, how about posting a list...

I don't trust AMG, they're like the Roger Ebert's/David Fricke's of music reviews. Richie Unterburger (sp?) is the only one I can think of who seems to know what he's talking about. Robert Christgau at his worst is an arrogant, pretentious jerk, but at least he's honest and to the point in his Consu...

$9.99 sale price at Best Buy
If anybody's looking to buy this, Best Buy's got it marked down for $9.99, at least in the Chicagoland area. Pick it up sometime this week. (For what it's worth, Bob Marley's "Legend" - remastered with two bonus tracks, is also $9.99. I mention it because you can't get the remastered version in any ...

For the Who, unfortunately, there are fewer, really outstanding live concerts to chose from. "Tommy" established them solidly and lyrically in the public's mind, and after that, they were only parodying themselves. You know, the windmill, white jumpsuit stuff, and the frizzy hair with suede fringe....

Luke, did you make this?
There's a bootleg called "Next Sessions" that I've read about, and here's what one guy describes it as: Details: Some Who's Next remixes, as well as the studio outtake 'Time Is Passing.' The latter was put together by an ambitious fan using two mono recordings, one from the Odds & Sods reissue and t...

I forgot, Dylan/Dead just SUCKS. The only good thing is Before the Flood, but even then, that wasn't the best show. I think Clinton Heylin was right on the money. Dylan's singing toward the end of the tour is too over-the-top. The one great thing from the LA Forum shows was Mr. Tambourine Man, and t...

I think I know what you mean. I was stunned by the remarks, too (though to be fair, I don't know if Dave Marsh made them; he edited the book with someone else, and there seems to be a lot of input from various individuals). Maybe it was in reference to the older, abridged Lp, but personally, knowing...

The Who and the Rolling Stones: best live documents
I've traded quite a bit over the years, but with the possible exception of Bob Dylan, I don't really specialize in one artist; my tapes/CD-R's are spread out over a large number of artists. I always thought Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out was disappointing on two counts: the performances weren't their best or m...
