Harry P. Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Thanks, Harry, much appreciated! BTW, a couple albums (yeah. I still call 'em that) that I seem to click up on my iPod as often as any these days are "Under the Covers" Vols. 1 and 2 by Matthew Sweet and the still-magically babe-a-licious former Bangle Susannah Hoffs. As the the title implies, both are all-covers albums _ Vol. 1 is '60s tunes, Vol. 2 '70s. Some of their choices are songs you've heard a million times, i.e. "You're So Vain" and "Monday, Monday." Others are a bit more obscure, and all were obviously chosen because of the pair's love for them. The two really don't try to better the originals, but, sometimes they manage to _ for example, Hoffs is sublime on "Different Drum." And, their take on Yes' "I've Seen All Good People" is wonderfully weird! I still call them "albums" too! In fact I still call them "records!" Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs? Now there's an "odd couple!" Ok, my faves (not for listening to when building models, but for listening to and paying attention)... First and foremost-The Beatles. Head and shoulders above anyone else. Truly in a category all by themselves. Their musical talent and creativity is just staggering. To think that the same band put out both "Blackbird" and "Helter Skelter" is amazing. Nobody that's come along so far in my lifetime even comes close to what they accomplished. As far as the "mere mortals," Bruce Springsteen is number one. Again, the scope of his music is amazing, from the starkness of the "Nebraska" album to the personal and emotional songs like "The River" and "Brilliant Disguise" and "Something in the Night" to the all-out rockers like "Born to Run" and "No Surrender." As for the rest of my all-time faves... can't possibly rank them in any order; they're all great. So in no particular order: The Eagles The Byrds Led Zeppelin Tom Petty/Heartbreakers Fleetwood Mac Rolling Stones Pink Floyd Pearl Jam Jimi Hendrix Boston (guilty pleasure!) and maybe Sheryl Crow makes the list, too. And many more just a hair below the top ten, like Creedence, The Doors, Elvis Costello, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Motown (Supremes, Temps, Four Tops) etc. And then of course, the hundreds, if not thousands of others that I like to one extent or another...
Edward Gore Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 The CB radio and/or scanner is on in the build room here
B_rad88 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) hey Khart: Edited March 11, 2010 by B_rad88
Pete J. Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Personally I am kind of partial to Winton Marcellus both his classical and jazz albums. I personally think the "Gabriel's Garden" is an incredible exercise of the piccolo trumpet. If I don't have a CD on then the tube is on speed or history channel. Both are good for the concentration.
Railfreak78 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 The CB radio and/or scanner is on in the build room here I gotta get my CB's back in the cars and going. I've never had a base however I have had some great mobiles. Frankly give me a classic Trucker style Cobra not the new black plastic ones and a Firestick and you'll find a happy Railfreak. Now I really need a scanner for the railroads and I'd be even happier.
B_rad88 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Thanks. I like this one better, though ... http://www.youtube.c...h?v=P2XH5KrrPw8 nice, thats another cool one, but my fav is new fang, i really like that one! LOL

charlie8575 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 When building, I like either light jazz or classical on. I find it helps my mind function better and concentrate more. When I had my apartment, I built in front of the TV set, so I'd build/watch, and do the delicate stuff during the commercials. Sometimes, I'll put on an Internet station. I like WEIB in Northampton, Ma., which is a nice smooth jazz station with an excellent Internet broadcast- it doesn't balk, scramble, stop, fade, etc. Good thing, because eastern and central Mass. don't have smooth FM anymore.

showrodfreak Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Classic Oldies , Ted Nugent, Santana , Lynard Skynard, Grand Funk RailRoad, lots of Funk too oneyed

Harry P. Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 so harry should i listen to Insane Clown Posse and talk radio at the same time then ? No, no, no. Do that and your head would explode!!!
Jairus Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Put in all the links you guys want... I won't listen to ###### no matter how it is presented. I listen to classic Rock (Everyone knows that Rock & Roll was perfected in 1973 - Homer Simpson), Jazz, Blues, Classical and Talk Radio all day regardless if I am drawing, building models or slots. Best music resides on vinyl and the names of all the artists and bands would fill a 5 gallon bucket so I won't bother mentioning even a few or posting links. Very few of the "popular" artists today will be around even two years from now due to a fickly public and a money greedy music industry who wants nothing better than to make millions by "discovering" the next Beatles or Elvis. Not to mention force feeding it down the publics throat like the stillborn "Back Street Boys".
B_rad88 Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 No, no, no. Do that and your head would explode!!! thats right! and harry, go check out "lex & terry" i have listend to them before, they are funny! lol
Harry P. Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 thats right! and harry, go check out "lex & terry" i have listend to them before, they are funny! lol No thanks, Brandon... I'm not a fan of "morning zoo" type radio. Believe me, we have plenty of it here in Chicago (well, used to have a lot more than we do now... it's a format that's not as popular anymore). I've heard it before. Which is exactly why I'm not a fan!
Edward Gore Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 I gotta get my CB's back in the cars and going. I've never had a base however I have had some great mobiles. Frankly give me a classic Trucker style Cobra not the new black plastic ones and a Firestick and you'll find a happy Railfreak. Now I really need a scanner for the railroads and I'd be even happier. I run an old mobile Realistic w/ SSB powered with a Radio Shack power supply connected to a base omnidirectional Antron. I rarely talk but just listen to stuff On the scanner, I've got two banks of 20 channels each for emergency freqs, 3 channels for railroad, a few for marine band for the local port activity, and a few for listening to HAMs. haha good stuff
Jairus Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Wow, I really liked how this thread had progressed with no one insulting anyone else's musical tastes. Note the use of the past tense in the previous sentence ... Hahahahah :lol: :lol: That is funny coming from such a Drama-queen such as yourself Ken. I just feel that those who want to post what they like should say the name of the group and song instead of adding a link to "freaking who knows what" to support their odd preferences in music! Nice post....
