    Jethro Tull - J-Tull Dot Com

    I like this one. Good songs, and about where you expect Tull to be in 2000.

    Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition SACD

    4ab2bd0496.jpg

    Absolutely awesome SACD! I have the regular SACD.

    I have several copies on vinyl too but only comes close to the SACD . . . how's that for a switch.

    TV in the background. I plan on listening to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody in SDA goodness with more detail than I have before, right before I go to bed. But, only after I shut off the fans and other crap off. It's been a long time since I have been able to just sit and get an SDA grin.

    I want a vinyl copy. Give me one, now! :p;)

    Will do but ya gotta give me a chance to dig through all the vinyl I have to find them. My vinyl collection is in no way shape or form cataloged or in alphabetical order. I just always kept it in my head where everything is, that is until my wife went into the 2ch room and MOVED EVERYTHING!!!:mad:

    Hey man, I shoot from the hip. It is what it is. Now if they come out with a heavy vinyl version, let's say, Classic Records 200 gm reissue pressing then I may have to change my tune.;)

    Eagles - Long Road Out of Eden. I prefer the songs on disc 2. Like all Eagles albums, excellent music and amazing recording quality. I wish music today sounded as good....

    The entire The Black Keys - Brothers album... on repeat for a couple weeks now.. incredible album.

    Really cool blues-influenced rock.. has a good retro-feel, but these two guys are in their late20s or early 30s and only been making records since 2000-ish. Fairly spartan feel, mostly just a guitar, drums, and vocals.. occasional organ/keyboard..

    Been a fan for years, but this album is gaining steam and some much-needed notoriety.
