Take 'em to the bank Satch! dB

Nektar anybody? I guess they were more psych than prog, but I remember them from the '70s.

Sounds like they ripped him off. dB

There is no such thing as too much cowbell, every song should have cowbell. The cowbell is the symbol of unbridled passion. (Frank Zappa, on "Bebop Tango", on the "Roxy and Elsewhere" album) How could I forget? Triangle. Imagine Mississippi Queen with a triangle.

Saw, conch shell, ocarina, celeste, clavinet, cello, French Horn, violin, glockenspiel, oboe, bassoon, rocksichord.... Cowbell.

I like uncommon instruments in music, but if someones tone sucks I don't want to hear it! dB

Surfin' dood. dB

Way cool!

In the next world! dB

I think it depends on who is playing that guitar and what the rock tone is. There's a lot of guitar players out there. Organ??? I prefer the sound of guitarists like Tal Farlow, Sal Salvador and the like. The rock-influenced sounds make me run in the opposite direction Being a guitar player, I'm really picky. That thin nasally pre-amp tube tone, I'm not too thrilled about. Big warm power amp tone is a different story - I like that. But still, it depends on the player. I generally dig a nice Jazz tone... A hoot!

Mike Stern's tone. Too much chorus...I think I've mentioned this before. dB

That's a mid-1980s reissue of half of the tracks that appeared on The Complete Braxton 1971. Any good? Hasn't come yet... It's the material that was left off the Braxton Mosaic.

Im really interested to hear you elaborate further about this. I would be too but I don't think he can, as I suspect he knows jack shit about what he is talking about. Yeah...whatever. What about this? Boing! Jelly Bean Bones was Meg Myles childhood nickname. 42-24-36 was the score.

Bah! I never did that to anyone, I don't even like it all. I remember back in the pre-y2k Internet days, whenever someone would poll to rate his albums in popularity, my favorites were always listed at the bottom - the ones without much comedy. I even have my own opinions about politics and religion. Imagine that... I do like discovering a photo I've never seen before.

I'm pretty bummed that I missed this anniversary. WTF is wrong with me? This won't happen this year. I'm pulling out my copy of Civilization Phase III a day early.

I guess we're referring to Moondog, The Viking of 6th Avenue. I'd check it out, but funds are low. I'm interested. dB

That's it! dB

I'm glad you started the thread, I didn't want to risk it. Happy Birthday John Michael Osbourne! I only heard him perform when Randy Rhodes was in his band. I love the Black Sabbath albums he was on.

Today is Anton Webern's birthday, if he was still alive - he would be 125. He turned out to be incredibly influential...Morton Feldman owes a quite a bit to Webern, I think. dB

This is my pick:
