  1. I was in the last half of my senior year of High School when this song was released. It was huge. "Losing My Religion" as a phrase is very Southern. All your beliefs set out in front of the world. It's all laid bare. BTW-"Automatic For The People" is one of my favorite albums of all time.

  2. I heard about when Donna Summer recorded "I Feel Love." She did the entire vocal in one take!! Back in the 70's, if there was one mistake, you had to sing it all again. So you would have 20-30 takes easily. Donna Summer doing an amazing vocal like "I Feel Love in one take? I just can't process that. I am floored.

  3. Here's the kicker about The Frankenstrat Bumblebee. When Dimebag Darrell was murdered on stage, Eddie Van Halen went to the funeral. Eddie took his original Bumblebee guitar and had it buried with Dimebag in his casket.

  4. My favorite Elton John song is “Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters.”

  5. "Rockin in The Free World" Neil Young

  6. The song that always gets me is "Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters." It was also in "Almost Famous."

  7. He's more punk, but Peter Hook of Joy Division/New Order is a great bassist. Listen to "Transmission." Listen to "Age of Consent" or "Regret" by New Order.

  8. Stevie Ray is one of my favorite guitar players. I was a kid when "Let's Dance" came out. I worked for my dad's DJ company then spent 5 years at Tower Records, so I really am passionate about SRV. Anyway-I was listening to this song about 20 years ago and when the solo came on, I knew it was Stevie Ray by tone-dead on. Jackson Browne was also at Montreaux in 1982 and gave Stevie three days of studio time. That became the basis for Stevie Ray's album "Texas Flood."

  9.  @deadsirius3531  "Find The River" all day long. Once in a while, I listen to "Automatic" and it's like talking to an old friend.

  10. One has to be "Kick Out The Jams" by The MC5.

  11. I grew up listening to WHFS near DC. They were definitely alternative in the 80’s.

  12. I was 17 when I saw "Bill and Ted." "Play With Me's" shredding solo blew my mind. I immediately got The Extreme solo CD. Extreme were my favorite band from 1990-93. Guitar heads knew Nuno was the real thing. But he was underrated by the public for years. Nuno's thing is that he is also so humble. The spotlight found Nuno, he never really searched for it. I heard "Rise" and was stunned. Good lead vocals, The Extreme staple of great vocal harmonies and Nuno's face melting solo.

  13. I grew up listening to WHFS. Thanks to that station, I adore stuff like this one.

  15. One of my favorite songs!

  16. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" better be on there.

  17. Great album with bad timing. Released in 1992 as Nirvana had transformed the scene.

  18. Someone once said that XTC were God's apology for The Beatles breaking up.

  19.  @ArbeiterInnenlieder  Good. I remember my mom playing it all the time when I was very young.

  20. I am a huge New Order fan. I know they are not Classic Rock, "Age of Consent" is a great bass intro.

  21. What gets me about "Operator" is that it's in a major key. The lyrics and phrasing just intensify the heartbreak. Croce was able to tell a story in a straightforward way where no one was to blame. As I have grown older, I realize that bad things "just happen" even if I do everything just "right." Jim Croce had that sense of world weariness that made him seem like he was talking just to you.

  22. I love Johnny Marr and loved The Smiths in High School. I came this close to seeing Marr at The 9:30 Club in DC in November 2014. I was about to pull the trigger on tickets when I saw a presale for Stevie Wonder at The big hockey arena in DC. Sorry Johnny, I had to see Stevie-bucket list. His band did "Songs in The Key of Life" from front to back. Just incredible. India.Arie was the backup singer in Stevie band. Wow. The encore? "Superstition," of course.

  23. 25 years ago when I got into Bowie, I remember hearing "Let's Dance." I heard the guitar solo and that was SRV! I knew by tone. Similar thing happened in 2005 when I heard "The Real Thing" by Gwen Stefani. The bass line was super high and I knew it was Peter Hook. Just by tone.

  24. I grew up near DC listening to WHFS. Every English Indie band of the 80's and early 90's. One day, a DJ said that Andy Partridge was having an identity crisis. He swore he was Paul McCartney.

  25. My dad had a DJ company for 40 years. I worked for him for about 10 years. I would dub music and I always watched the volume because I have sensory processing issues that leave me vulnerable to sensory overload. Always had ear plugs at concerts and hockey games. I am 50 and realize that I am lucky.

  26. Keidis sounds like he is doing stream of consciousness-really

  27. I have Gould doing Bach's "Goldberg Variations" in 1955 and 1989. Just sublime.

  28. I have always had a soft spot for Beethoven's 7th Symphony. The last movement of the 9th? Words fail to describe it. It's all "locked in." Other favorites of mine in classical music are the last movement of Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony. Pure despair. the second movement of Dvorak's 9th Symphony. Rachmaninov's 3rd Piano Concerto as performed by Martha Argerich and The Radio Symphony Orchestra of of Berlin. Wow.....

  29. I worked at Tower Records for almost 5 years. New releases dropped on Tuesdays. So every Wednesday and Monday morning, the label reps from Sony, WEA, UNI, etc would call and have me look up sales of new releases in my store.

  31. Duh, Duh, Duh, -Duh, Duh, Da, Duh. One of the first riffs that anyone wanted to learn first.

  32. The pressure to get "a hit" has always existed. Studio musicians like The Wrecking Crew, The A Team, and Funk Brothers were always used. You had Brill Building writers and so many more. It was that way 60 years ago and nothing has changed. Now, the need for "the hit" is just more obvious.

  33. My favorite cover is "Eight Miles High" by Husker Du. Bob Mould just sings with all of his soul. Also, for those like the song "Hallelujah" read "The Holy and The Broken" about Leonard Cohen, how "Hallelujah came to be and how it became a standard that everyone covers.

  34. I was working at Tower Records about 20 years ago and a huge SRV fan. I found "Born Under a Bad Sign" by Albert King. I look at the band. Duck Dunn, Al Jackson, Booker T, Steve Cropper. I got the album because I figured with those musicians, that album could NOT suck. "Born Under a Bad Sign" is great.

  35. 5 seconds and and Rick discusses THAT riff. About right.

  36. I discovered Argerich while working at Tower Records. Filing classical was not A-Z by artist. There was also period, then composer etc. I was one of the few clerks who could file classical "correctly" At Tower, classical and jazz was in its own room with doors separating it from the Rock/Pop floor. I could set the play pile and file by the truckload. One CD I always played was Argerich with The Bavarian Radio Orchestra (I think) conducted by Riccardo Chailly. It was Rachmaninoff's Third Concerto and Tchaikovsky's First. Argerich was playing with her hair on fire. It seemed like her fingers were alive. Going quickly and keeping things on track. Many have technique only . Argerich has technique and soul. Argerich doing Rachmaninoff's Third is my favorite classical recording.

  37. I waited on Robben Ford when I worked at Tower Records. He was playing with Greg Allman at Ram’s Head On Stage.

  38. Sting hooked me because he gets great musicians in his band. Saw Sting about 20 years ago. I was stunned by his sax player. It was Chris Botti.

  39.  @blairhelsing630  Sting's first solo band had Kenny Kirkland and Branford Marsalis. Wow.

  40. Tom Morello always got me with his ability to play guitar and just use pedals-very few tricks.

  41. i was working at Tower Records when "The Man Comes Around" was released. One day a record label rep has the staff meet in our art room-it had a VHS player. The rep pulls out a tape for us to watch. It was the video to "Johnny Cash's "Hurt." The video was so affecting that I had tears down my face. Amazing. June Carter Cash died 3 months after the video for "Hurt" was filmed and Johnny died 4-5 months after her.

  42. I love how the intro was also used in "Stacey's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne.

  43. There's a movie called "Tom Dowd and The Language of Music" from 2000 (ish?) all about his career. Anyway! Tom has a section where he explained where the "Layla" piano section was made.

  44. Ahh, my high school years.
