Really Ray ? I mean look at ( and listen to if you can ) Preservation 1 & 2 , Soap Opera, Schoolboys in Disgrace and then tell me Revolver sucks ??????????
Forum: Tell Me

Oh my Ray-- so wrong on so many counts. I mean I love the Kinks but even on their best albums 50 percent of those albums were nothing but filler. My Favorites were Kink- Size, Arthur, Muswell Hillbillies ( which I always thought was their Beggars Banquet ) those were probably the most realized of their releases ( to me anyway )

Briam Eno "Music for Airports" -- after this week in the States I need something quiet and soothing.... !
Forum: Tell Me

I am just amazed at how much stuff Hendrix actually put down on tape ! He must have turned on his tape recorder the minute he woke up and let it record all day ! Or at least when he walked into the studio the tapes must have been tolling-- how do you amass enough material to be released 50 years after you are gone ? Wow- impressive ! And most of it is good !

Give My Love to London & Easy Come Easy Go are really excellent albums from an artist late in her career-- well worth a listen to !

I think Charlies drumming on "Exile" is perfect ! Also his drumming on Pete Townsend / Ronnie Lane's "Rough Mix" is awesome ! And for Charlie purists, "One Charlie to Another" the drumming is excellent

Saw the American Masters LENNONYC and thoght they did a really good with it-- believe or not, even Yoko came off as being pretty sane. They did a nice job, PBS. As far as the "NEW" Lennon release "Gimme Some Truth" goes, why why why why did they let Sean Lennon remix the thing ? I mean, if they felt they had to, how about someone with some experience and talent do it ? Did

The other track they did together "Burn Your Playhouse Down" was even better !!!

Love love love Nashville ! Try to make it down there every year-- so much musical history !
Forum: Tell Me

GHS is what it is-- warts and all. You take it for what it is. Cant re-write history. A classic album. Most bands would live their left nut to produce an album as good as this.

Never missed an issue of Creem ! Loved it-- also Rolling Stone when it came in its newspaper format-- back then it was a great magazine. Circus too was a cool magazine from that era. Crawdaddy, too ! Hit Parader too !!!!!!!!! Wow-- those certainly were the days, my friend.

I would go with "If Not For You" George Harrison 'Wild Horses" could be a good 2nd choice

Peter Green influenced so many musicians -- even the Beatles. John Lennons "Sun King" on Abbey Road was his take on Albatross-- He even said on that track that the fabs were pretending to be Fleetwood Mac

I like Lanois a lot, but he would never fit with the Stones. Jack White maybe, but at this point, they should just do it themselves. I don't know if any outside guy would be able to do anything -- Don Was has been with them now for so long, I don't see it changing

The Mothers also backed up Lennon / Ono at the Fillmore in 1971 NYC which is heard on Lennon;s Sometime in NEW York City album--- was really good !

Johnny Winter And .. Live is one of the greatest live albums of all time. Still Alive & Well was also incredible. His performance of Dylans "Highway 61" at the 30th anniversary Dylan concert literally blew every else off the stage that night Wow, he was good
