CD/MP3 player check

[Teh]

Went on an iTunes binge this weekend and picked up a few that I had on vinyl but never found on CD:

Steve Hackett (Genesis Guitarist) -- Please Don't Touch and Voyage of the Acolyte

Rockpile -- Seconds of Pleasure

Also been getting back into some Joe Pass (In Hamburg), Wes Montgomery (Smokin...) and Herb Ellis (With Oscar Peterson) lately.

Chris -- I'm a major Pat Metheny fan too, but never got into the "Song X" phase of his career. Maybe it's time I give it another listen...

It's certainly not for everyone. I'm way into the improv thing and it's almost too much for me. But the CD brings back memories of the live show. We staggered out of there as if we had just been worked over by Mike Tyson.

allan holdsworth - 16 men of tain : dunno why i bought this, i learned long ago that i love his solos but hate his tunes. nothings changed.

Tell me about it! I downloaded that album a few weeks ago and that was my exact reaction Ah well.

seek out holdsworth's sideman stuff from the 70's;

bruford, jean luc ponty, and esp tony williams lifetime.

I have some of that stuff, but probably not enough. My favorite album of his so far is Secrets, which I think has some great compositions and awesome guitar work (and drum work for Vince Colaiuta (sp?) as well).

Beatallica - A Garage Dayz Night - all the tunes might still be a free download at beatallica.com - killer McTallica/Beatles parody.

Still Free. That's some good stuff. That guy sounds like Hetfield and on And I'm Evil, that's a great Glen Danzig immitation too.

My Mp3 player stays on shuffle but it seems to have it's own preferences.

I just picked up an Ipod about 2 weeks ago, I only have about 60 CDs on it right now, and keep it on shuffle most of the time, and it's odd that it seems to have it's own favorites.

Neil Young (Like a Hurricane comes up alot)

Bob Marley

Lucinda Williams

Booker T and the MGs

Lyle Lovette

Muddy Waters

I just ripped my entire collection last week, and will probably load it up tonight. I'll have about 450 CDs worth of music. It'll be interesting to see if it's taste changes.

Been listening to:

Dream Theater - Score

Vanden Plas - Christ 0

[BadgerDave]

Me too on Bob Dylan's "Modern Times".

Also:

Best of Buck Owens

Rhino's ""Rockin' Bones" Punkabilly sampler

Tried to listen to Eric Johnson's last disc all the way through again. Didn't make it. I'm a huge EJ fan, but the material is lacking. I'd love to hear him do an "all covers" set.

i'll check that out. rockola emailed me a tune from "metal fatigue" (w/ yngwie keyboardist & drummer the johansen brothers) that was really killer.

Comes With The Fall - The Reckoning EP.

Hey Badger Dave, +1 on the EJ observation. I like his stuff a lot too but the new record can't keep my attention at all it's so lackluster and SOS.

Haven't listened to a CD in a while. Been watching Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD. The more I study Gilmour the more amazing I think he is.
