We have a very similar music aesthetic.

 

One of the very first  concept-album bands I ever listened to was Wishbone Ash. Who's Next gets better the older you get, Jethro Tull pre-Brick is pretty fugging good also. 

 

Did you know Rare Earth was the first rock/R&B band signed by Motown? They had a definite R&B funk/groove to them and I still listen to their early stuff (69-74). I saw them as the opening act at the first California Jam in April 1974...

 

 

 

 

Cassette tape became the rage when I was 15, CDs years later, so all of my music until I was into my 20's was vinyl. Hell, on Friday nights, we'd go to the Tower Records store and just go through the row upon row of albums they had, looking for the next buried treasure. Unfortunately I lost my entire record collection, probably close to 400 albums, in 1988 in a fire.

I have 300 albums from the 60s through the 80s.  From In-a-gadda-da-vida by Iron Butterfly to House of the rising Son-from The Animals album.  Fleetwood Mac- self-titled to Saturday night fever.   Unfortunately, many of them got some water damage when my basement flooded.

That is awesome man.  Very cool stuff.

 

Rare Earth and Wishbone Ash are two amazing bands and I totally agree about Who's Next.  I used to be more Zep but have really transitioned to The Who recently.

I've noticed a decent amount of hip-hop when I've gone to stores recently and was wondering how some of it sounds on Vinyl. Nice.  

 

My dad still plays his so he's not quite at the point where he's ready to give his 100+ to me haha

Yeah especially this one cause it has that grainy sound already in the music production. Playing it on vinyl gives it a really cool feel.

Nice.  I never really gave his album a full listen but being a J. Cole, Black Star, and Big L fan think I'd like him.

i'll gladly take those dead vinyl's off your hands if they're causing you too much pain :D

 

 

my father in law passed last april and my wife and i got all of his stuff... The Band, anything with Jerry Garcia, Dylan, Zeppelin, Hendrix... all amazing stuff

 

the new stuff I've bought include Jack Johnson's new album and some of his older stuff, Railroad Earth's latest album, The Avett Brothers The Carpenter, The Lumineers (if you don't know this, look it up - AMAZING), Lotus, STS9... I'm sure I'm missing some

    • If he doesn’t say it’s about money first and foremost then it doesn’t really matter what else he says. The international games are not good for the players or teams or overall product as far as quality of game. Same for Thursday night games. And they clearly start the scheduling process by looking at which games/teams/storylines they can make the most money on, then the rest of the schedule just gets shoehorned in from there.
    • Ask around on here to see if someone is selling…ie a PSL Owner!
    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
