yes, but we never heard yours Joe. All the guitar players on the board seem to like this guy. 'course I like him.... I taught him everything he knows! :rsmile: Joe, did you ever give those discs (of the ABB) a listen that I sent you? What do you think of Derek Trucks on those?

Well put!

lung cancer is like any other cancer. you dont have to be a smoker to get it. It is rare, but it happens.

Wow. Sad

I'd have to say no-Between Arc/Weld and the next live record, Year of the Horse (from a tour, so the Unplugged disc doesn't count) there were 4 studio records, plus a Geffen compilation and the Unplugged-then the CSNY disc came after Year of the Horse, followed by Silver and Gold, then Road Rock (which sounded nothing like any recent studio record, so it's not like it was live document of the recent tour like the Who/McCartney ones). Neil is anything but predictable!

as usual Clementine is RIGHT ON-I have seen year of the horse and it is one of the great rock documentaries. Very raw, like his Dead Man soundtrack, which was also a Jarmusch project. Red Rocks is tedious, with perhaps one of his very worst songs. Motorcycle Mama done live with his wife screaming the female vocal. I think Neil is one of the best but I just cant listen to that one; however, Words and Cowgirl in the Sand on that disc are very good. I recommend to anyone even remotely interested to seek out any bootlegs you can find-every record is represented even better live, especially the 80s material (check out the live versions of the Life songs-excellent and very vital!). The live version of the Trans stuff that I have heard are so good-well worth the comparison. Makes you realize how good those songs were; it's all in the presentation. If Neil ever releases his vast Archives project, it will be like the Holy Grail for his fans-supposedly multi-DVD volumes will be released of all live & outtakes

oh yeah, one more- the weather thread that I started!

Funny Rat-I want to but it is way too long, and there's no point in jumping in at the middle

pick a song from each era of King Crimson-that would be interesting! Actually, I think the Crimson Jazz trio has already done this How about Neil Young-Down by the River? It's practically jazz soloing by him anyway!

I have everything by him plus many bootlegs. You are scraping near the bottom of the barrel by starting with Are You Passionate! One of his weaker albums. I would go check out On the Beach, Tonight's the Night, and Time Fades Away (which is out of print and only ever available on vinyl, so good luck!) for his absolute peak. All dealing with personal loss-riveting music. Check out Sleeps with Angels, too for a similar themed album, from 1994. Actually, everything he did in the 70s and 90s (and 60s, which is the Buffalo Springfield period) is worth checking out. Skip the 80s (except for Freedom, which came out in Oct 89, so it's almost 90s)-he was disinterested in making music and the results are clearly not his best. The records in the 2000s so far are uneven-Silver and Gold is nice, a countryish, mellow acoustic album, AYP sounds like it was left over from the 80s, Greendale is very good, full of long guitar led jams; there is supposedly a storyline but the music is the point, and Prairie Wind is a better take on the Silver and Gold theme (reflections on aging, mostly). Overall, Neil Young is one of the greats, and everything he does is worth at least a listen. I think he's underrated, actually-you always hear people worship the beatles, dylan, etc, but not as many for Young, who has had the longest, consistently interesting career of them all Oh yeah, he makes CSN sound good too!!

favorite is hard to answer. however, least favorite would be easy-all of the 80s!

It's only been out for 2 months!!

whoa! Where did that come from? growing up in Canada, I knew maybe two, three people who were "stoners". I see a LOT more young people doing that here in Michigan than I ever was aware of in Canada

The American version of The Office maybe, but not the British

quite embarassing showing by canada today in hockey. how they got shutout by the swiss is a mystery. maybe they have too many older players, and not enough dynamic younger players like crosby. it should have stayed amateurs only anyway

Jumping the Creek is the best of the ECMs that I have heard (which is everything from Voice in the Night on)

you hear him on the radio??

my grandfather was supposed to have it done. he refused, and it eventually killed him. so go do it

this is not global warming. Global warming isn't predicted to suddenly make everyone's heating bills more manageable-it is a gradual (over decades, centuries) warming, not noticeable to people from year to year. This winter is most likely a La Nina effect, that's all. And no, my pockets are not lined by any corporate interests, and they never will be; I'm a chemist working in biotech.

The Dylan and the Young are both excellent, if anyone was wondering....

YES!!! I saw this group in Ann Arbor in 2004-excellent concert!! I will be getting this one on release day

That surprises me a great deal. I would have thought that the Coltrane and 65-68 Quintet boxes would have far outsold the IASW box. I suppose that the IASW box is the best seller because it is only three CDs, and therefore the most affordable. Anybody think it's because of the music? Yep. Big chunks of the rock audience probably bought it

The Stones crowd was definitely a prop. they advertised for locals to rush in at halftime, show some love, and then get the hell out of there at the end of it. the ads stated "no one over 45 please"

I'm more outraged at the unfathomable, persistent popularity and worship of all things U2/Bono!
