    5150 0r OU812?

    I dislike less songs on 5150 than I do on OU812, so 5150 gets my vote.

    List Your 1st Music Purchases by Format

    • The very first "album" I ever bought was Abbey Road on 8 Track tape probably around 1974 when I was 14. • I think the very first vinyl album I ever bought was Who's Next after I had bought my own stereo for my room when I was 16. • I was never big on 45s, but I was a huge Stones fan in the...

    Battle Of The Rock Operas

    I voted for Tommy, not because I think the concept is necessarily better than the other choices, but I can listen to Tommy pretty much all the way through, whereas Quadrophenia and The Wall are really hit and miss with me. If all three were pared down to a single album (of songs of my choosing)...

    Ted Nugent - Dog Eat Dog Vs. Nazareth - Hair of the Dog

    I went with Teddy Boy. Nazareth just isn't my cup of tea. At. All.

    Newbie, but raised by the sounds of the guitar my loves

    Well if you like the sound of guitars, I think you're in the right place. Oh, and hello and welcome.

    Queen and Styx songs knockout?

    I have a 15-song "Best of Queen" cd, and a 15-song "Best of Styx" cd and song-for-song I like all 15 of Styx's songs over all 15 of Queen's songs. So there. And "March of the Black Queen" isn't even on my Queen cd. So there again. :D

    First heavy metal song?

    I know Blue Cheer and The MC5 are both frequently mentioned retrospectively for perhaps being Metal before Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zep were recognized as being Metal, but I'm going to go a year earlier to 1967 and nominate Jimi Hendrix with "Purple Haze" (but even "Foxy Lady" could be...

    The Stooges - I Wanna be Your Dog VS. Ted Nugent - Dog Eat Dog

    Another vote for The Nuge

    Best Kick Off On A Debut Album

    "Foxy Lady" is another good one and so is "Welcome To The Jungle"

    Eddie Van Halen or Brian May?

    To be quite honest, I always thought Queen was the sort of band in which each musician was remarkably unremarkable.

    Cultural Unity

    I read that Kapernick was passed over by the Texans to replace their QB who went down with a torn ACL. Karma really is a biotch, bay-bee! I wonder if Kapernick kneels during the National Anthem when he's watching the games on tv at home?

    Do you have one top favourite music act?

    For me it would have to be Van Halen's classic years of 1978-1984. The ultimate party band. They never (outwardly) took themselves seriously, they had tons of energy, they never disappointed (on record, on stage or in the media), and there's no question that Mr. Fingers was an overnight...

    70's or 80's Judas Priest?

    80's for me.

    Cultural Unity

    The simplest way to end NFL player protests is keep both teams in their locker rooms until after the National Anthem is over. See how I help people? In fact, add it to the NFL's list of rules and regulations beginning in 2018 so the player's union won't have grounds for a lawsuit against the...

    Jefferson Airplane, Starship & Beyond (Official Thread)

    I like Jefferson Airplane's classic 60's San Fran/acid-scene stuff for what it is, but Jefferson Starship really got melodic and rocking when Craig Chaquico and Pete Sears joined the band.

    1 Hit Wonders Of The 80's

    Here are three more One Hit Wonders of sorts. I don't know their chart positions when they were released, but they all got plenty of airplay on the New Wave station out here in Los Angeles. These might not be National One Hit Wonders as heard on Kasey Kasem's Hot 100 on Sunday morning as much as...

    Who is the greatest musician who died before reaching his full potential?

    I thought about Ritchie Valens. Buddy Holly, too. They both had upside potential, but I also think they both would have become victims of the British Invasion in the early 60's. I think The Beach Boys were about the only American band that held their own to the likes of The Beatles, The Kinks...

    A Whiter Shade of Pale or Nights in White Satin?

    Another vote for "Nights In White Satin" here. Both songs are way long in the tooth, but I'm more apt to change the radio station if "Whiter Shade Of Pale" were playing.

    Who is the greatest musician who died before reaching his full potential?

    I don't know if Randy Rhodes is the greatest musician who died before reaching his full potential or not, but he's the one who comes to mind. He seemed to me to be rather one-dimensional on Ozzy's first two solo albums, and I'll always wonder if he would have matured as a songwriter and guitar...
