    Gillan/Blackmore reunion? Forget it!

    I'm not reading anything into that except two old guys realizing hanging on to ancient grievances makes no sense at all, especially after Jon Lord passed away not too many years ago. Events like that tend to bring old friends back together and can lead to a reconciliation of hard feelings and...

    Most Overrated Artists/Bands of 70s?

    I thought Marc Bolan and Bowie were early pioneers of glam as well, it's hard to pick just one artist/band that started it all, granted I am not a massive fan of glam generally but there was a lot of good music that came out of that genre.

    ^^That's way too hot for me, and most people.:eek: Cool this morning looks overcast I hope we get a shower or two otherwise I have to water all the plants which takes over an hour. Should hit the mid 20's after lunch our normal late summer temperature.

    Most Overrated Artists/Bands of 70s?

    ^^Considering who got in the dubious RRHOF before many more deserving artists I wouldn't lose sleep over it if my band got snubbed, there are many legendary bands who still deserve recognition and haven't received it yet. KISS seems to generate controversy either by their own actions or from...

    Will Malcolm Young Return to AC/DC?

    If he quit drinking that's a good thing, but if he kept on smoking Riff that is probably what contributed to his stroke, it's common medical knowledge smoking increases all kinds of health risks including strokes.

    Big thunderstorm last night not much rain to show for all the wind/lightning/thunder which is too bad, now I have to water the plants.:nw: ;) Cool in the morning, high 20's later today August is always like this for us.

    Legendary DJ Alan Freed’s Ashes Removed from Rock Hall as Beyonce Exhibit Moves In

    That is one weird situation...I wouldn't want my ashes on display in any public gallery no matter how famous I was or how much of a footprint I left behind when I passed on.:nw: I think the RRHOF just continues it's pattern of bumbling along making gaff after gaff in this case putting his ashes...

    New Foreigner boxset released in Oct.

    And yet another "Collector's Edition Boxset" drops...I'll pass thanks the CD's and vinyl records I have now sound good enough to me and besides I think Foreigner lost something after IV was released never quite reaching the lofty standards they set early on.

    Gillan/Blackmore reunion? Forget it!

    First time I ever heard Steve Morse play guitar was with his old band Dixie Dregs, and I was blown away with "Dregs Of The Earth" when I bought it and so were all my friends. I respect Ian's stance when it comes to the current band, combined with Ritchie having found contentment with his wife...

    Will Malcolm Young Return to AC/DC?

    I'm hoping for the best for Malcolm and his future well-being but am prepared for the announcement that he is retired as an active member of AC/DC. If he spent the last 20-30 years drinking and smoking then suffered a stroke which seems to be the case then I cannot see him ever regaining the...

    Robert Plant is disappointed by Jimmy Page's Zeppelin push

    Exactly people will have to eventually realize that the 'one of concert' a few years ago was probably it for Led Zeppelin and a fitting way to bow out. Robert knows his vocal limitations now would definitely affect performing the old songs live in front of an audience, unlike Jimmy who's guitar...

    Congratulations Soot and Stars

    After talking things over with Shaggy the last couple days it's my genuine pleasure to announce that our venerable super-mod Sooty who has been with Magic and I from the very beginning of our tenure at CRF has been promoted to Administrator. I can't think of anyone else who has done more for...

    What Is Americana?

    ^^I've only heard of 2 artists off your list...:peek Then again I don't listen to the radio anymore or watch streaming music online either so a lot of new bands slip past me until someone mentions/posts about them in the forum.

    Best album of the 90s? (with bonus Radiohead discussion)

    Have to think about this one for a bit...:think:

    What Is Americana?

    So you don't like what 'country music' has become Randy, by that I mean all the crossover pop/rock artists that moved into the Country where they felt more at home than the alternative rock scene. (By that I mean are you a traditional country music fan, Haggard, Cash etc.)

    The best producers in rock history

    Every album I've ever listened to that had Ted Templeman listed as the producer was very well done, from a technical standpoint which to me no matter who you are producing/engineering is of paramount importance along with the artists having a solid set of songs and performing at the top of their...

    Have you ever become obsessed with an album that changed you socially

    I'd forgotten about that part, him being deported from the US, I think he would be happier back home anyway. Nobody knows where life will take them, in Cat Steven's case his journey has been fascinating after achieving fame and fortune at a young age to give it all away and search for a deeper...

    Have you ever become obsessed with an album that changed you socially

    I don't remember what I said about Cat Stevens...except the part about him giving up the lifestyle of a famous musician and returning to the Middle East and ended up as a beggar for a while. He seems to have come full circle, I'd call that period in his life a "walkabout". Another very...

    Thread Closed What Are You Listening To?

    Last week it was almost impossible to get a good nights sleep it stayed hot all night which is rare here, but now we have swung into August which means cooler nights but not cold enough for the furnace to kick in just yet.;) Patchy today, sunny periods with overcast chance of rain but nice all...

    The best producers in rock history

    Yep he was going to be the next one I posted Bob D. :hab: Another of my all time favorites, Ted Templeman who worked with the Doobie Brothers and produced Van Halen's best albums as well.

    The return of...Savatage

    I never thought of the band name in that way before, Savatage doesn't sound bad to me...it certainly wouldn't put me off giving the band a chance so I don't understand why radio/programmers would have been so weird about playing their music.:dunno: I think it's great they are playing Wacken...

    Elton John not retiring

    Thanks for the information Sunny, I didn't pay too much attention to Elton's personal life when he finally found someone he could raise a family with, I just assumed they adopted their kids.
