    What Songs/Bands First Got You Into Music?

    There may have already been a thread about this but the question is pretty self explanatory. In this thread we will discuss not only our earliest musical interests but the conditions around us that maybe nudged us in a particular music direction. Please include any non rock early or recent...

    Review UFO 1

    If you like Schenker era UFO you might be surprised or even shocked by their first album which (I believe) was marketed as 'space rock' which is basically one of those somewhat descriptive terms for a form of psychedelic music characterized by effects laden guitar, vocals and even background...

    Letterman house band performing with guest bands

    I watched a clip of Screaming Trees tv debut and was shocked to see the band surrounded by various studio musicians and minus their drummer (who showed up at the end of the show to do a food eating joke Letterman was keen on. I'm wondering if anyone knows the details of how and why this strange...

    Single Disc - The Wall

    In this thread we try a what if scenario. What if you had to edit Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' down to one album. Here are the run times of each song. I believe the maximum length for a side is about 22 minutes (I know, I cheated on Physical Graffiti). Side one 1. "In the...

    Single Disc Physical Graffiti

    Imagine you work for the mighty Led Zeppelin in the mid 70s and the record company tells you they don't want a double album (super unlikely given the band we're talking about but please play along). Your job is to edit the album to one disc only. Which songs do you cut? What order do you...

    You Favorite Songs to Play and or Sing?

    Some of us here are musicians. Others - like me - are guys who like music so much we tend to hammer out whatever we can even if it results in arousing the neighborhood dogs into a frenzy. I have played drums in bands, sang for bands and on a few rare occasions actually played guitar, bass...

    Best Guitar Tabs Sites?

    It doesn't look like I'll be getting my house any time soon so I am doomed to the guitar for a while. I haven't ever had the ear to pick out many tunes on guitar (I did OK with She and a couple others back when I was playing a lot but nothing very complex) so I rely on tabs to present me with...

    Wing Men

    Who are your favorite accompanists without which a famous musician might not have sounded nearly as good? These can also be famous musicians in their own right but can also be rather obscure figures who might have greatly influenced but not even appeared on any known recording. I am going to...

    Review Jethro Tull - This Was (1968)

    I was a late comer to this album. Had I heard it earlier I Tull would have always been one of my favorite bands right up there with Sabbath etc etc. It is a rather straight forward sounding blues rock recording but with enough of a quirk and raw energy to make it even stand out among the...

    Who Should Have Replaced Ace?

    I had someone perfect in mind a week or so ago and meant to ask what other members thought but now I can't remember who it was. Joe Walsh would have been interesting. Rick Neilson I think could have handled it, but who I was thinking of was just about perfect.... Aaaaaarrrgghhh! I wish I...

    Review Accept - I'm a Rebel (1980)

    Accept: I'm a Rebel I've always heard that this album was the direct result of the record company and other peripheral people insisting that Accept needed a radio friendly song to really make it. By all accounts their self titled first album had made some waves especially considering the...

    Review Accept - Accept (1979)

    Accept is one of those bands very few people are ambivalent about. You usually either love them or hate them and I guess that's the way it should be. This album is their first studio effort and has been described by Wolf Hoffman (main guitar player and major song writer for the band) as a...

    UFO - Obsession (1978)

    Obsession is my favorite Schenker era album with numerous examplkes of fantastic guitar work coupled with readily accesible songwriting. The only reason I can think that this album didn't become extremely well known outside hard rock circles is that so much great music was done the same year...

    Crack the Sky - Animal Notes (1976)

    This is the second offering from the Crack the Sky and the one least sited by people likely due to it's lack of much radio airplay. It does feature a band on the rise in one sense (considering it was their second album and there were still high hopes for them) and decline in the other (creative...
