You just KNOW the sitar was his influence. Don't discount George Harrison. Dude is still responsible for some of the greatest rock licks ever.


George Martin? Would we even recognize their sound without him?


George Harrison was great. He wrote two of my favorite songs in My Sweet Lord and Here Comes the Sun
"Something" is a great one too.


Yep. That's another top five Beatles song for me

The wife and I were on a road trip through Indiana a few years ago and realized since we were fairly close to French Lick, we'd make a slight detour and check out Larry Bird's hometown. Had to be some kind of big time memorial or something there. At least a sign saying "Hometown of The Greatest Baller of All Time" or some such.

Got there and drove around and not one mention in that entire town of arguably the greatest basketball player to come out of Indiana. Not one mention.

On the way out of town, I told my wife that I needed to know what the deal was. Stopped at a convenience store and was told by a lady that Larry wasn't held in high esteem in his hometown. Seems he came back with some big money Indianapolis developers and tried to sell off the town to these guys. The town folk didn't go for it and it created a wedge between him and his hometown. Interesting story.

But he could fill it up.

Let's just go for the greatest Beatles album. I'll get a lot of grief for this one but I'm voting for Rubber Soul.

This is cheating, but I have a compilation album that I've had for probably 30 years, "1962-1966." My new favorite is also a cheat, but it's LOVE. I saw the show in Vegas, and play it so often that my 13-year-old is a Beatles fan.

French Lick is actually somewhat of a resort spa destination. I didn't realize that before seeing the town. Guess the folks that were already there and had an interest didn't appreciate him trying to redo the town with out of towners.

Abbey Road and it's not even close for me. Not that any of the others aren't great but Abbey Road is just a masterpiece from beginning to end

even Ringo got in a pretty good song in octopus' garden

I'd love to amass a big vinyl collection. To have a space full of vinyl like Rob Gordon in High Fidelity would be the dream.

A few gems from my small collection:
Grace - Jeff Buckley
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Revolver - The Beatles
The Chronic - Dre
Some Girls - The Rolling Stones
Nevermind the Bollocks - Sex Pistols

Good movie and a solid list you got there

Some of my prized vinyl is
Bad Company - 10 from 6
Rainbow - self titled album
Led Zeppelin - Physical Grafitti
Jimi Hendrix - Are you experienced
And a copy of Third Eye Blinds self titled album that I bought in Japan.

Airheads... Lemmy is God. Bs. Dio is mf God. Saw him support maiden with motorhead as the opener in the early aughts.

Great sample. Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow is soooo good.

Fun 80s songs?

Rock Me Amadeus comes immediately to mind, German gibberish mixed with a wild ass music video and a catchy hook.

Bring the King His Kaleidoscope is still on my top 10 album list. Play it weekly. Saw them many times... Bill Bills, Waterworks, Sigma Nu rush event, in Dallas... So sad when they hung it up as I think they
could have really made it big.

I need to find it on Youtube, but Mike Crawford is still making music as part of his ministry.

Don't know if that's what she was talking about, but I understand we've made a selection, to be announced in a couple of weeks.

This person would have been my first phone call, and is one check-mark short of perfect. Not a name often heard, but think everyone should be pleased.
