    What band have you followed the longest without having seen them live?

    I started following a lot around the same time, so I'll go with The Who, Aerosmith and ZZ Top of those that are still where I could go. JcS

    My Interview With Allan Kozinn, author of GOT THAT SOMETHING

    Part 2: JS: Why is this an ebook? AK: The New York Times has a book division that publishes both physical books, and lately, a series of ebooks and what they're calling ebook singles -- fairly short books that are meant to be read in a couple of hours on your Kindle, iPad, phone or whatever...

    My Interview With Allan Kozinn, author of GOT THAT SOMETHING

    I recently conducted an interview with Allan Kozinn, author of GOT THAT SOMETHING, currently available only as an ebook. Mr. Kozinn has been with the New York Times since 1977, and is currently a cultural reporter. Over the years, he has been assigned to cover The Beatles and their various...

    I took "Baby Blue" in a tight match over the Stones. JcS

    Don't Look Back...Unless It's 1978!!

    With what methods did you listen to music from 1990 to 2000?

    As the decade started, it was mostly vinyl; I got a CD player in 1986, but didn't have a ton of CDs yet. I'd make tapes for my car, because I didn't have a CD player in it. As the decade ended, I had a CD player in the car, and had a 2 year old that could do damage to vinyl if left where...

    Steely dan

    Re: Let's Talk About Steely Dan!! I saw Steely Dan in Memphis back in August. Good show, but a little short. No "FM," "Pretzel Logic" or "Deacon Blues." With a catalog this deep and this good, they could have easily played more than 2 hours and I'd have still wanted more! JcS

    The telecaster is the greatest axe of all time no matter what you say

    I don't have a Fender of any sort. But since you said it didn't matter what I said on the issue, I'll comment no further. JcS

    How Many Albums In Your Collection

    I'm not sure--I'm guessing 1200-1400 vinyl albums and 900-1000 CDs. JcS

    Zappa, anyone?

    I'd say APOSTROPHE is the best place to start. It has some hot guitar playing (especially the title track) and some examples of the Zappa humor that don't plunge into the depths of the sophomoric realm. Well, OK, "Don't You Eat The Yellow Snow" is pretty juvenile, but FZ did much worse...

    Zappa, anyone?

    I have owned or heard about 30 Zappa albums, and find him to be one of the more frustrating artists of our time. He needed someone like a George Martin or Lennon/McCartney to help him curb his excesses. The juvenile jokes and smug humor wears thin after awhile, and for such an enlightened guy...

    Underrated bands of the 80's

    Re: Who is the most underrated band of the 80's? Crowded House. But then, they are often an answer to a question about the 80's! JcS

    what year or with what band did "classic rock" STOP for you?

    I'll be arbitrary here and say the golden era of "classic rock" ended with the debut of MTV. That is, the emphasis shifted from the musicianship to the ability to look good in a video. That's not to say there wasn't some good music created after that time, it's just the marker I use to divide...

    the best concert you've gone to

    A concert can be memorable for any number of reasons, and thus become a favorite. Either the music can be great or the show itself can be exciting--just a thrill to be there. Sometimes, it can be both. I therefore answer as follows: Best musical performance--Little Feat, Tulsa, 1990...

    Ages for classic rock listeners

    48 here. I'm always encouraged to learn that younger listeners enjoy classic rock. Not because it validates my tastes in music--I don't need that--but because it means (a) there will probably be radio stations playing it around here and (b) it may encourage bands from the next generations to...

    Bob Dylan - "Modern Times"

    Re: Dylan Goes "Modern" All in all, I like MODERN TIMES very much, but can't quite go so far as to say it is better than LOVE AND THEFT. Not yet, anyway--more listens behind me (I've got five so far, I think), and I may change my mind. JcS

    Thread Closed What Are You Listening To?

    MODERN TIMES by Bob Dylan. Two plays into it, I'm thinking it's just a shade behind LOVE AND THEFT, but then after two plays, I hadn't fully appreciated that album, either. JcS

    What are YOUR profound losses

    In addition to the usual suspects, many of which are already mentioned here, I'll add two names. Jim Croce--three albums into his career, he was hitting his stride. I'd have loved to have heard a fourth album of new material. I remember when he died--it was during the county fair in 1973...

    Oasis Beats Out Beatles

    Interesting item down in the article: only 2 American acts in the top twenty. Putting aside for a moment I can name plenty (read: HUNDREDS) of American albums better than NEVERMIND and IS THIS IT, and even taking into consideration that it's a NME poll, that was just stunning. And should have...
