I did forget to list Albert Collins. Otis Rush but there are other phenomenal players like Joe Walsh, Vince Gill, Albert Lee, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, JJ Cale and many more It's funny how most people think "Cocaine" is Clapton's song.

ED13 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Tonight I have been doing an album shootout with nine copies of Tears for Fears, Songs From the Big Chair. Have a mixture of Canadian copies, US, UK and Europe pressings. Finished side 1 with a 1st Canadian pressing that easily beat all others. Currently working on side 2. Hoping the best side 2 is the same record as the side 1 so I can sell an additional album. Most often I will have a record for side 1 only and side 2 only as well. Not ideal but I am only interested in the best sound possible. Tomorrow I will do the same with 7 copies of Ziggy Stardust. I have a 1st pressing orange label original, early Japanese and 5 UK copies. Will be hoping for the best.

ChuckZ Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Radio is definitely out in our household. My wife listens to Sirius in her car and mostly oldies, she loves the Stones, Rod Stewart, Beatles, Eagles, etc. Me I download my favorites from the past out of my library which has close to 20,000 selections, on to a USB and listen to them on shuffle. Songs range from Glenn Miller, Guns and Roses, Elvis, Elle, Mozart, Bill Monroe, Allan Jackson, Lauren Hill and Clifton Chenier. Everything on the USB is handpicked, and as you can see, very diverse, and have close to 5,000 songs on it. Makes a long road trip more pleasurable except when my wife is with me, excuse me dear, she does not like country nor blue grass, which is my grass roots music. Music makes me smile and is my happy place. I also download songs I do not have, believe it or not, from our local library system every Monday, ten songs a week, onto the travel USB. Fun hobby. Also have one just for the holiday season of selection Christmas selections. Start about two weeks before Christmas not after Halloween, like the radio stations.

silver & black Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 All of the players that have been mentioned so far are great players. That's the problem...lol. There are so many really good players from back in the day and I would say there are even more very good players today. I like all of the players mentioned. A few of my own favorites not mentioned, in no particular order are: Michael Shenker Ulli Jon Roth Rory Gallagher Dave Hole Guthrie Goven Bucket head Joanna Connor Ty Tabor Manny Charlton Tommy Emanuel KK Downing of course - Jimmy Paige...lol. My #1 player is...... Frank Marino. I've loved listening to him since I bought 'Child of the Novelty' in 1970. Ben Joest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
