The funny thing is in the past some of those actual artists played at the fair, including Elton John. I was gonna see Bob Dylan there last year but we all know what happened there.Flex wrote: ↑10 Jun 2021, 1:09amOh damn, I should just set up camp there for the summer.revbob wrote: ↑09 Jun 2021, 9:08pmMassive Flex bait at the local fair this summer

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
What was that crucial, yet probably benign at the time, fork in the road where one chose incorrectly and ended up in a Dave Matthews cover band?

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Yeah but as Wolt pointed out no way in hell should Stryper be considered on the better side of shit let alone great. And I think Ozzy had somd good solo songs early on but instead this guy picks some latter day crap. I will say I dig Highway Star, a great song to play at high volume, especially while driving on an open road.Marky Dread wrote: ↑10 Jun 2021, 5:00amA couple of okay(ish) bands.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I agree mate and Highway Star is solid. The first couple of Blue Oyster Cult albums are also solid. Think there is just too much crossover with metal/hard rock etc.revbob wrote: ↑10 Jun 2021, 8:18amYeah but as Wolt pointed out no way in hell should Stryper be considered on the better side of shit let alone great.

$225–$245—these things are getting to be seriously ugly class-based things. Whatever aesthetic, archival value these things provide, the absurd price tags on this stuff says it's an elite item. Fuck that on principle.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Yeah, I've gotten really turned off by a lot of the sets lately. Just getting absurdly out of reach. I choked it down and shelled out for the beach boys new set coming out (which is less than half what this harrison set seems to be going for) but a bunch of these are coming in at multiple hundreds of dollars which is just insane.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Jun 2021, 1:42pmhttps://ultimateclassicrock.com/all-thi ... s-box-set/

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
another issue with at least some of these sets - I know Marky has complained about this before - is that while they may include a bunch of additional music that's highly desirable if you're a mega-fan, a lot of times the remastering is complete garbage so if you're someone who pays attention to such things, it still probably doesn't replace your old CD or vinyl. And if you just want the music of the proper album as good as it sounds, you can probably pick up a cheap $2 CD or keep an eye out for the vinyl in a used record bin or whatever (not to mention downloads or streaming).
