As I look over the list again, I'm wondering two things: 1) Why is the overrated, justly obscure band The Pretty Things on this list? and, 2) How badly am I going to get flamed over this post?

Holy catfight, Tom! Don't get me wrong; the wife's CDs and my CDs are in completely different rooms! Furthermore, any old commercial-type R&B and soul I have is located on her shelves rather than mine. (I get to keep my T-Bone Walker and Parliament with no arugment, but the Jackie Wilson and O'Jays have been kidnapped!) This is just the stuff that only I listen to...

Omigod...get this puppy to the caption thread, fast!!! The ideas are absolutely exploding in my head!

Well, in the interest of full disclosure, so is my vote for the Kinks. I had no interest in rock at all until 1968 when I heard Lady Madonna. You have no idea how radical that song sounded if you'd grown up in a country/western household with little or no exposure to rock. It sounds awfully tame and contrived now, I guess. But at the time, at least to my ears, it sounded as subversive as anything I could name. Certainly stood out in comparison with supposedly harder groups doing stuff like Hello I Love You and Magic Carpet Ride... If I had to go by what I actually listened to in the sixties, it would have to be CCR I suppose.

Yeah, we'll show 'em where to stick their hat racks!

You bet yer ass I can! Oh; you want names? Well, stick to Lola and older, and there's just no way you can go wrong. Classic stuff! (And a big wave of the moose's antlers to the other two voters for this group!)

Well, I got a wild hair up my ass (or is the expression "hare"? Didn't notice any ears...) and reorganized my CDs, completely alphabetically, with no regard to genre. I found that I really wasn't listening to the rock stuff at all, because I never made it over to that shelf, so I thought I'd give this a shot. But the placement of certain acts seems rather odd. Such as: Organissimo is now next to the Offspring. We've got Roland Kirk next to a Carole King disc. Ella is now surrounded by the Firesign Theater and Flatt & Scruggs. Run, Ella!! The answer to "Who's Next" appears to be Baby Face Willette... Milt and Joe Jackson are having a strange "family reunion". Sorry; no point to this thread...I just never realized how odd this would look!

I'm completely unfamiliar with it, but I'll add it to my "music" bookmarks, and check it out.

I'll be damned...sometimes my memory actually works! Classic Game Shows

Wait a minute; didn't catesta or Jsngry post these here many moons ago? Those bastards are stealing our material!

Shut up, damn it! (To jazzmantom: sorry; just kidding...he's right, of course! By the way, going the eBay route wouldn't be the worst thing to do with the Mosaics. Jazz fans know that the sets will be for sale on the site, so plenty of us are looking. )

Oh dear...you mean I have "smooth jazz" on my shelf?

Sorry; apparently my "</rant>" tag didn't work, and I was blinded by "posters' rage"...

Spoiled brats? Odd, that's one of the reasons I like hockey; it's the only pro sport left that isn't dominated by spoiled brats. Hockey players don't act like the world owes them whatever they want just because they can play a sport the way basketball and baseball stars do. If you asked a hockey player for a political opinion in an interview, they'd probably look at you like you were stoned, rather than think they have something meaningful to say just because they can run fast or hit a ball. I really can't defend the fighting, but lets be real; people are rarely hurt badly in a hockey fight. It's cheapshot shenanigans like the one discussed here that make the sport look bad, and hurt people. Personally, at the very least, I would suspend any player who hurts another player in any way that involves a rules violation, and they would have to sit out until the injured player returned to the ice. Then they would get their suspension. One more point: Comparing hockey fighting to a fight in any other sport (except baseball; those idiots wouldn't know how to fight if their lives depended on it!) is unfair. Come on, Jim, people don't drop to the floor because they've been beaten senseless; look at their feet! In case no one has noticed, these people are trying to fight on skates! They drop to the ice because you just can't do it.

<rant> What the hell do you mean, "Hockey reaches a new low"??? Give me a break! Professional boxing, which has become no more serious than wrestling without the masks gets treated with seriousness on this site. Steroid gobbling freaks have taken over baseball. It's normal for football players to be crippled for life after hanging up the spikes (life being to about the midfiftes for them...), and yet we see an announcement that "hockey reaches a new low". What a load of crap. Yeah, this asshole deserves to be suspended for 20 years; screw the 20 games. Dale Hunter ought to be driving a taxi. And the NHL needs to get serious about curbing this kind of shit. But to dump on the whole sport because of this prick is ridiculous. </rant>

I can't be the only guy who would kill to see this guy play for New Jersey...

Happy birthday, guys. (Gee, "Joe"; I didn't know you were a young'un! Not a nice, dignified age like Free For All!)

Same here. I've run in to exactly ONE person who was into jazz in "real life", a guy who was sent to our store for me to train for one day. Best day of work I've ever had. We spent all day in my office with KCSM blaring out, talking about every artist we could think of...didn't get much training done!

Gads...I can hear the voice of Milhouse in my head talking about "the one with the long sideburns". But that was one of those godawful '72s, wasn't it?

Congratulations, Jim, and with those birth weights, my condolences to your wife. Ouch!

Well, I know this board has always done rat by me...

It would drive me nuts. Of course, I don't even have a car right now, so... My wife's car has the factory supplied stereo, which sounds pretty much the way you imagine it does. Oh, well; they're better than they were 20 years ago, anyway...

It sounded like they weren't into jazz themselves; the seller may bear watching for a while as it sounds like they may have more to sell.

And now for another round of the exciting game show, "EXPOSE YOUR IGNORANCE!" Today's contestant wants to know, what the hell is a "jim-jim"...Jim?

I figured I'd better quote this one, Rainy Day, as apparently you missed it. It is illegal to lie to the feds and hamper their investigation. You are by no means required to help them, but you can't mislead them either. Better to tell them to buzz off and find the dirt on their own than to lie to them. This is what she was convicted of. IT IS A CRIME.
