The Stones version of Around and Around is excellent, and much better than Chuck's (IMO their best cover).

Why were the 80's so bad for a lot of these bands and acts in the 60's? Was it that they couldn't change with the times? When they did change, was it that fans weren't accepting of the changes? A lot of the output of these bands was subpar (Dirty Work, The Who's it's Hard and Face Dances, most of Dylan's music, even Floyd's Momentary Lapse of Reason (while

QuoteTurner68 The "all time" part of the list is a joke. Obviously it's for the rock era until present. I'm not sure the glimmers deserve higher. They were only writing great songs for 7 or 8 years - 65 til 72. I felt the same thing about the "all time list". If you took music as a whole then most of these people wouldn't even hold a candle to the greats l

I think what's cool about the Wrecking Crew is the wide variety of music they played on. They might play on a Beach Boys record, a Byrds record or a Doors record, and then play on an Elvis record, Sinatra or Dean Martin record. Truly some talented musicians!

I have read of several cases in the 1960s where producers replaced the bands drummer with a studio drummer. This is notable with the first version of Love Me Do where Ringo was replaced. On several early Kinks songs (including You Really Got Me), Mick Avory is replaced by a studio drummer. So was Charlie ever replaced with a studio drummer by a producer in the 60's?

QuoteTate To the contrary, I think the "live album" is going through a sort of renaissance-like transformation. There has been a huge amount of live material released in recent years-- from the Stones, from Dylan, from loads of other bands... Live archives, new live material, and yes, there are those bands out there releasing every show. Dylan's bootleg series is absolutely brill

I was thinking about this other day. It seems like more groups are releasing each concert on a tour as a cd or download. With the advent of cell phones people can record and release a concert bootleg within a matter of a couple hours of its performance. Thus it no longer seems that a traditional Live Album (e.g Ya-Ya's, Leeds,etc) is neccesary. In the past artists released Live albums for

It shows that they don't need to trot out a well worn song and try to recapture past versions.

I've always liked Division Bell and feel it captures Floyd at their most Floydian since The Wall. When I became aware of the album I read about the creative process and wondered if there were outtakes floating around on bootlegs. Since there weren't, this is promising for me. IF the instrumental tracks on Endless River capture the same ambient and atmospheric sound on the Division Bell

As a Who fan, I gotta say: I don't need another compilation/greatest hits. The new track will probably be available seperatly on itunes. However what makes this intriguing for the casual Who fan is it reads more like a singles collection (I'd hardly call The last Time, Zoot Suit, Dogs or Postcard hits). But it does put The Relay on a compilation for the first time since Maximum R and B
