Yeah, we were just joking around about computers because of the all caps text. Didn’t mean to start in on computers.

You know, Judas Priest sounds really great over the Cayin RU6 portable DAC/Amp with pretty much all my headgear it can comfortably drive…

Piece Of Mind is my favorite Maiden album, but maybe it’s because it’s the first one I listened to. That whole string of albums from the first to Seventh Son is so consistently good that it’s hard to choose a best one.

My favorite song from Somewhere In Time is ‘Sea Of Madness’. And I might be in the minority there.

I just spent an hour looking for some new music and found a few new bands that I liked with new releases. Sadly I ended up buying none of these because of the super distorted and compressed goo for a sound from all of them. It makes me sad for the bands but I cannot enjoy the music with that type of sound anymore, it just annoys me.

Sorry for complaining.

Who does the best cover of “Hot Rod Lincoln”? I used to favor Commander Cody, but today I listened to the Asleep at the Wheel version and I think it’s better.

I challenge you to find one that tops it.

I don’t know about “best,” but Bill Kirchen’s take on LIVE! at the Krush might be the longest (9:52), and has to be near the record for most references to other musicians in one song. It’s a lot of fun, anyways.

Might as well post this here as well…

First impressions are that it wasn’t worth the hype and 12 year wait. I need more ear time, though.

Personally, I like all her pants just the way they are. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t jump at the chance to get her out of them…

Oops, did I just go there? :flushed_face:
