Well, golly, I get VERY tired of what’s on FM radio, and both most FM stations & Sat radio have such lousy sound quality these days, and You Tube is “variable” to say the least... I occasionally go for a random Internet Radio station just to hear something a little new (at least to me).
That doesn’t mean it’s “new” in age, of course, tho’ most is.
The funny thing is, I lean “Classic Rock”, but (aside from the horrid, mushy, compressed sound on FM), how many times can one hear some of this stuff w/o more variety? I mean, geez, throw in Robin Trower “Bridge of Sighs”, or INXS “To Look At You” (Extended version), or Real Life “Burning Blue”, or Red Rider “White Hot”, or Uriah Heep “Stealin’” (huge catalog of great stuff!), or Badfinger “Baby Blue”, or Styx “Crystal Ball” or “Suite Madame Blue”, or Strawbs “Heartbreaker”, or, or... (about a million suggestions!). How long has it been since I heard Steppenwolf “Magic Carpet Ride”, or Three Dog Night “Out In the Country”, much less any of the longer tunes that once were plentiful on college FM stations.
“In the Court of the Crimson King”, anyone?
I was more of a "21st Century Schizoid Man" kind of guy but "Court" was great also.
Just yesterday I was looking up Quicksilver Messenger Service and am amazed at how good it sounds even with no external stimulants...and nice to be able to enjoy all of that now just for the music and not the trip.
