Fabulous Album, No Doubt. Might I say a Classic?
The wife and I played in a band in the South Beach Miami club scene in the 90's. We performed several of the songs off Tragic Kingdom. This album brings back some memories I'll forever treasure. The Bassist is quite good.

Sorry man, there are a lot of greybeards on here. We never forget anything except to pay the phone bill

The album cover made me feel like I'm gonna... I'm gonna.... aagfhagfhagfha



Hysterical! And right on the money as usual!

I’m mostly with @gimmeheadroom on this one, except he said it much more nicely than I ever would. Lots of great headphones, not so much interesting music on this thread. I mean, Tapestry was (is) a great album, so is Physical Graffiti, but we were done with them 40 years ago. Certainly don’t need megabuck headphone systems to hear them now. It’s like my DeadHead friends who know nothing but Grateful Dead. Sure, I love my Dead, but put on a Thelonius Monk album once in a while, for Pete’s sake - broaden your horizons! Everyone knows Boston was corporate, artless junk when it came out in 1975; it doesn’t deserve high end treatment now!!

Whatever, just being curmudgeonly. I apologize. To each his/her/their own. Listen to whatever gets your boat afloating’. No judgment from me. So it goes…

YMMV, Just my $.02, etc., etc., etc.

Blasphemy! I happened to like Boston's first two albums (and "Walk On"). Tom Stolz fought against the corporate machine, even re-recording the first album in his basement.

I’m not saying it wasn’t a fun album (the first one; g-d knows, and you know I suppose, what there is to like about the second one ), just not breaking any new musical ground. My opinion. Not the gospel, and I am NOT Caesar’s wife. If you like it - spin away. Don’t listen to my old man’s rant.

In any event, I violated the cardinal rule - I really do not mean to question anyone else’s taste in music. Rather, my intent is to get people to listen to music they might not be as familiar with but might enjoy. I expressed it rather poorly and for that I apologize. I’m on my way this morning to get my elderly father discharged to hospice after 10 days in the hospital, so I’m crankier than usual, and also, therefore, giving myself a pass. This one time.

You quoted me before I finished rewriting/editing my apology, but thank you for approaching my bad manners with your usual good humor, @jonathan c.

 

[jonathan c]

…IT* doesn’t deserve high end treatment now (or at any time) !!

* IT equals: Captain & Tenille, Ray Coniff Orchestra, Paul Anka, Brasil 66/77/88, Bobby Goldsboro (the crappiest song of all: Honey [1968]),….

Fellow thread-fiers, feel free to add to this list of undeservings .

I have to remember to read this thread on an empty stomach. You guys are really pushin' it!

I call B.S. on the bad manners comment. We're all friends here, you have nothing to apologize for.

I wish I could say the same for @jonathan c post regarding Captain & Tenille, etc.

My reaction was the title to this track

And now, payback time:

No offense but $.02 dosen't buy much with today's inflation rate.
My thoughts
Music is alot like food. Some like it spicey and some not. Some can eat pizza everyday and be content.
Not everyone has access to an infinite library of music.
People listen to music for all different reasons here.
I for one enjoy listening to some of the great classic rock albums from the past. I listen to what makes me happy. That's what it is all about.
First off. As you get older your memories fade and I find that music from my younger years brings back some special moments and feelings that otherwise would be lost without them. Music is More Than a Feeling it keeps my Peace Of Mind for a Long Time.
Secondly, The old stuff that we are familiar with is a great way to evaluate a new set of Headphones. Maybe the only way.
My third comment would be

ROCKS forever!

The recording is quite good and the music is solid. Very nice album, I have it on SACD.
