Got a tip for us?

I hate threads like these on forums cause I go chasing down YT videos that I’ve found over the years. There is so much great music out there!
Gotta give a nod to these kids because they absolutely rock and they cover The Who’s timeless anthem, “Baba O’riley”

I attempt to announce a new album on this thread by a classic rock band or solo performer I think needs a listen.
because there really is not that much support online or in media anymore.
Home, home again
I like to be there when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

This was Hella/Hallo-fun! Loved the TH reference in the middle.
The last band I was in closed our shows with this song. I was the keyboardist, and a patch in my latest synth said to me, "Ooh, this is the opening acoustic geetar riff to this!" It took me a couple minutes to figure it out (a flatted 2nd wasn't a common figure in any music, but I soon figured out that both Metallica, and Slipknot, used it to great effect). I played that riff at the next rehearsal, and by the end of the week it was a permanent song in our show, soon moved to the closeout position.
I find myself coming back to this video time and time again. Dunno why. Great tune? Massive amount of talent playing beautifully together? Who knows?
Luigi Boccherini - Guitar Quintet in D Major, perhaps better known as the "Fandango".
One relies on a different sense when reacting to the falling temperature, than one does when listening, in an awed and rapt silence, to a timeless piece of music.
Think I've posted that I never was into streaming until a year or so ago, when I bought a streamer/DAC for my home system.
I started college in '78, and was suddenly exposed to so many different forms of music (I grew up on an isolated farm in SD, dug my Mom's big band records, my Dad's trad country radio not so much, and did get into Chicago and the Doobies via my AM radio). I couldn't really afford many albums, but by my sophomore year I had a nice stereo in the room with a cassette deck, did record a lot of "Greatest Hits" albums from bands in the 60s and 70s, but not a lot of "landmark" albums that were not GHs.
Now, I'm making up for lost time, listening to a lot of older classic albums that I never recorded or even heard: Zepp, Stones, Joni Mitchell, EW&F, Beck, ToP, Hendrix, maybe I should post the list I'm keeping in Apple Notes.
I did have most of Elton John's albums, being a bar musician pianist myself, but this one had escaped me until 3 days ago:
...and I've listened to it a couple times a day since. Wow, this is great; I've always considered Goodbye Yellow Brick Road to be his masterpiece, but this one is right up there. Most songs on this album could've been singles.
So, sorry about the blablabla post, but I'm really loving this album.

Nice album. My wife is a huge Elton John fan and I enjoy him as well. Also just got a streamer and signed up for a Qobuz trial. This is one of the first albums I streamed and it was 24/192. Sounded "Fantastic". I own the SACD, multi-channel and stereo. I want to compare but unfortunately I needed to advance exchange my streamer after 2 days and my replacement was supposed to be delivered Thursday yet is still in the Louisville UPS limbo. No complaints, lives are more important than my new toy.
Queen released “Bohemian Rhapsody” on October 31, 1975, so I ordered a record that included the song. I have it on CD but didn't in the "best" format. Party on Wayne!
format. Party on Wayne!

I'd rather listen to my LPs but i've no good space, and no decent turntable system, to set up anywhere.
A friend bought me a cheap turntable a few months ago but I've nowhere to set that up.
William Walton - "Crown Imperial". Heard this at a concert recently. Pompous as hell but glorious music. Seems appropriate with all the news about the British monarchy these days.
A night of the wonderful - brilliant yet timeless - music from Dire Straits.
