So I built the sheet and entered all the recommendations up to this point. Included artist, album, pressing recommendations, who recommended it and whether I currently own it or have purchased it based on this forum and then a spot for any comments on the album.

I have purchased 6 of them so far, and will report back with my thoughts once I get them!

Keep em coming!

Thanks!

Definitive Audiophile pressings

Hey All, I've got a couple of pre-orders coming in a few weeks. They're Definitive Audiophile pressings of Getz/Gilbert & Coltrane Love Supreme. Has anyone got records from DA? Are they worth double the money of standard 180g newish pressings? I'd hate to think it was a massive con. In my head...

We should definitely make some kind of searchable record of all the titles mentioned in there!
 
Classic rock seems mostly to be a catch-all term to describe rock music from the 60s and 70s, but as newer generations are born and grow up, their definition of what "classic" means obviously changes. I don't know what the cut off for being considered as classic rock is tho. If Nirvana is considered classic rock, then by that logic Radiohead's "Creep" would probably be considered a classic rock song by the same people.

The classic rock station we have here seems to play Livin’ On A Prayer and Comfortably Numb on repeat in some kinds of deadly rotation of the damned. Man do I hate that station.

We rented a car the other week and put the radio on. The "classic rock" station near me was playing The Wallflowers - One Headlight. I turned it off immediately and we sat in silence for the next 40 minutes.

Its so bad that I listen to current affairs talk radio and man can the Irish talk. Still better than that tripe.

I don't even honestly hate the song. But just the idea that a song that came out in the late 90s is now "classic rock" really depressed me.

Honestly I feel old and knackered enough that I can accept that the music of my youth is no longer the zeitgeist and so belongs on such channels, I just really can’t stand 80s hair metal or prog, which seems to pose a bit of problem lol.
