Perhaps the best classical work of all time. I like it better than Beethoven's Fifth symphony. The fourth and final movement is the best and speaks to the brotherhood of man. The words sung in the fourth movement's choral are from a Schiller poem that I had memorized at one time. The whole symphony gives me goose bumps.

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony conducted by Arturo Toscanini with the NBC Symphony

Edit: The music from the second movement was used for the famous NBC News duo of Huntley and Brinkley, aka The Huntley-Brinkley Report. It was the closing theme music.

I think Beethoven was the best composer of all time.
 
Foghat is actually a British band and was formed when 3 members left Savoy Brown and added Rod Price on lead guitar. I wonder if maybe they set up camp in southern California during that time. They were a great live band although 2 of my favorite live acts was Ten Years After and ZZ Top who at the time was an opening act for Rare Earth. Felt sorry for Rare Earth as ZZ TOP at the time was relatively unknown but blew Rare Earth away.


...love Alvin Lee "A Space in Time"...been to 2 seperate ZZ Top concerts, one was one of the worst concerts I've ever been to and the other was one of the very best.

ZZ Top became too commercialized for my taste although still liked many of their songs, but the early years, especially the first album was awesome. These are two of my favorites from ZZ Top's First.

...Tres Hombres for me.
 
My wife loves them. I grew up listening to alot of old school Jamaican reggae, so the Californian pop-reggae stuff is kinda hard for me to get into. They have some stuff I like tho. I'm sure you've heard of them already but if not, check out the bands Rebelution and Iration I'm sure you'll dig them.

I have heard of them and like them but not nearly as much as Dirty Heads. I really like the sublime feel of Dirty Heads that those other bands don't seem to capture as well. I'm also not a big fan of Dirty Heads new album, I hope it's just a off album. The other SoCal stuff I am into is Social Distortion, Big B, Whitey Ford/Everlast and of course Sublime. The Moonshine Bandits are pretty good also, not sure if they are SoCal tho. Your wife has good tastes in music, mine rolls her eyes everytime I play Dirty Heads.
 
Ronnie Montrose, very underrated guitar player.

Definitely. I think if he would of stuck with his original rock and roll music with Hagar or similar singer, he would be up there with many of the other rock guitar legends. A little side note. Montroses band Gamma (post Hagar) had a lead singer named Davey Pattison who later went on to sing with Robin Trower. I always felt Sammy Hagar was one of the best true rock and roll singers and was actually a damn good guitar player in his own right.
 
another couple oldie but goodies



and one of my favorites from the 70's with Michael Schenker ex Scorpions and brother of current Scorpions Rudolph Schenker on lead. UFO was a great live band

That was a good movie.
 

It's too early for this, I’m still having my morning beer and cigarette. Lucky me, I found a half full bottle of beer left over from last night. Had to fish a cigarette butt out of it first.
 
Trying out a new (to me) table with a couple different cartridge/stylus options. So, putting it through it's paces with some of my favorite/best vinyl:

I recently found out that a favorite song of mine is a cover. Never knew Otis sung this.
