    Msabot1: Rio Grande Mud and Tres Hombres are both full of great stuff. I feel about ZZ Top kinda like I feel about U2, I know some will disagree, but Boy and October I find to be their best albums. When those albums came out in 80 and 81 they were fresh and alive. I was lucky enough to pick up Boy right when it came out and I looked forward to their next album with great anticipation. Same with ZZ Top, they had a newness about them in the beginning, everybody I know played Mud and Tres ALL the time in high school. I've seen both bands live several times but their success made them less appealing to me. Although the last time I saw ZZ Top a few years ago, they played a whole bunch of early blues.

    Not an argument there pal...Boy is classic...even now I Will Follow cranked will get you off your keister.....first time I saw ZZ..I had only vaguely heard of them..played a tobacco warehouse in Ky in late 72... Opened for Bob's silver bullet band...floored the crowd too...Saw them twice since..last they were promoting Hombres...nothing like em back in the day...no bs...just jammin...solid sets...

    Joey Ward, that Steve Young is a re-release double CD of Renegade Picker and also No Place To Fall. Excellent. One of the most under-appreciated musicians of all time.

    Was listening to this one:

    51_JHm_SLNGs_L_SS400.jpg

    Gary_Numan_The_Pleasure_Principle_Back.jpg

    One of my top 10 best recorded albums, as well as being a fantastic album. If you don't own this one, go buy the 30th anniversary CD now!

    Japan needs to get on the ball and release this one on SHM-SACD.

    Just Ordered it on Amazon I'm a prime member so will have it friday did listen to the free mp3 version that you get with the CD purchase totally forgot about this it's been a heck of a long time. I can't wait for the remastered CD version cars is one of the weaker tracks on this but weak in a good way.

    Now amazon did deliver this today listening to it now.

    I agree Steve Young is most under appreciated. When I heard his Seven Bridges Road back in 1971 for the first It was a keeper along with Link Wray self titled release Link Wray. Pick up both Steve and Link lp's the same day new back then and came home and listen to both, Wow two fines back to back.

    MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR by Beatles
    Note...Saw the fab four at the Hollywood bowl in summer of 1965 when I was12 years old. Really didn't hear much of the Beatles because of all the screaming girls. I remember the announcement of the BEATLES, then a concert of screaming girls, then it was over. All I can say about that concert is, I was there.

    Joey Ward: lucky man, lucky man. My cousin saw the Beatles in '64, that concert you saw in '65 must be the "Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl." In the summer of '65 I was at a boys camp and everyone was waiting for the "new Beatles record." Some kid had a battery operated Singer record player that he played 45's with in his cabin. Finally, we heard "Help" on the radio and nobody was wondering anymore if the Beatles still had it. Lol.

    Thanks Dromunds, Beatles were something different than the rest of the bands then and now. They had something about them. Even there recordings had clean sound for the time in the 60's. They used horns, cello's etc.......And they new when it was over and time to move on.

    Yeah, and not only that but the Beatles were true artists in the classic sense. When they stopped touring and went into the studio as a full-time job, they upped the ante for all musicians and really started putting out some unbelievable stuff. Considering the recording equipment at the time, The White Album, Sergeant Pepper, and other material was so far ahead of its time its not even funny. The fact that they could afford a blank check as far as studio time helped make that possible but also the fact that the Beatles lived their music. That's not to take anything away from their early stuff, as most of that also holds up incredibly well even after fifty years.
