awesome:  Thanks for the finds.  I haven't thought about Emerson, Lake & Palmer.  I have them on vinyl.  They really were great!  Also interesting about Jimmy Page pretending to play Beck's parts.  Huh?

nivabef:  Dixie Chicks have been great all these years.  This CD is really a departure for them.  I got it the first week as a gift, and have enjoyed it over and over and over!

Check out this video! http://mp.aol.com/video.index.adp?mode=2&pmmsid=1483086

I bought the new Dixie Chicks CD a few days after it was released, but for some reason put it aside and didn't open it until this week. It's so good I can't stand to take it out of the CD player. I just dropped $125 on two tickets to see them in December! I haven't seen them since Lilith Fair in 1999 and I can't wait.

Also, I don't think I will ever fully get into this downloading music thing. I do download songs when there are only one or two from an album that I want, but if I want the whole album, I'll definitely buy the actual CD. There's just something about opening a new CD, looking at the cover art and studying the liner notes that's just heaven to me.

not bad, for 36 yrs. ago.......

Cream

thanks to darksideclown for sending me this, it's slow loading, and unfortunately has an ad infront of the clip, but it's worth waiting for.

and pulled down the play list of his greatest hits.  I'm in heaven!

One forgets what control he has over the guitar, and how rock solid a musician he is.  Wow!  It was great being reminded.  *goes off in search of more*

You missed it a few years, but we won't tell, will we? 

In answer to a query from a shy pawn:

Curved Air

Nirvana: Yes,my (semi-retired) comment was based on the lack of any recent activity on his website since 2005

Haridaspal:

I asked the BBC and was shown this:

Alvin Lee

Haridaspal: Ten Years After reformed (minus Lee)in 2003.Alvin seems to be semi retired at this point.

apart from me heard of the Irish group the Saw Doctors?

Haridaspal: owow

Nirvana: Talking of Arthur Lee, what happened to Alvin Lee (10 Years After)? Is he still around? Perhaps I'm 30 Years Too-late to ask this, but he was a fantastic lead guitarist.

Love singer Lee dies aged 61
Arthur Lee, the singer and songwriter with the pioneering Sixties band Love, has died aged 61 after a lengthy battle with leukaemia.

The musician died on Thursday afternoon in hospital in Memphis.

Love's most famous album was the 1968 bestseller Forever Changes.

Lee, who is survived by his wife, Diane, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in February and received a rare umbilical cord blood transplant in May at Methodist University Hospital.

But a hospital spokeswoman said he never left the hospital after that.

He formed Love in Los Angeles in 1965 and the group released their self-titled debut album the next year under the newly-formed Elektra Records.

They released a total of three albums fusing rock, blues and psychedelia.

In the 1990s, Lee spent time in jail for illegal possession of a firearm.

But he made a successful comeback in 2002, touring the US and Europe with a new band line-up.

Jim Dandy:
really ?

nobleheart:  I understand.  I just felt the urge to warn you.  Collecting music is fun, and I wish you the best.  We'll help you all we can.

TexasToest: ty but for now I'm just making a list of music in several catagories,not concerned about debating the legalities

awesome: I never considered 2525 to be a love song or easy to dance to It always struck me as a bit of warning to mankind kinda tune

  nobleheart:  Yes, they do.  But, U.S. attorneys are also filing law suits against those who do not pay for their downloads.  There are several legal sites where you can download music for a small fee.  And, check the artists' sites.  There are often free downloads there.

people download music all the time I hear

nobleheart:

artist:Zager and Evans
song:In the Year 2525
subject: it's a thought provoking love song that you can also dance to.

nobleheart:  I might come up with some ideas for your CD, but I'll have to answer to that this weekend. 

As for the CD you want to compile, I'd advise you to check copyright laws before getting too deep into the subject.

I have an idea,I hope its not a prob with anyone,I think we could ALL benefit from it,well here goes.

I an a pro at visual multimedia,but I confess I am a newbie just getting into the audio end as far as how to download & burn to CD..music(mp3's or whatever)
any tips on "how to" in this area,please post here to help me(and anyone who could benifit from this)
---
ok now my idea:
is to complile a list of songs to burn to CD in several subjects(thus several CDs)
subjects:
-love songs
-thought provoking(social-political songs)
-dance music
---
anyone got any songs they want to suggest,please note the song and its "subject(add a new subject if needed)

TexasToest: I'm pretty simple when it comes to listening or watching to things online.I saw all those fancy shmancy download options and decided to just listen to the stream provided.I'm already having issues with my quicktime playback so I doubt I'll be entering the world of "FLAC" anytime soon
Thanks for the tip on the cd to look for,album art seems to have been a very ignored pleasure since the demise of the LP

Jim Dandy: In moderation, all music is my favorite music. My own collection is various and assorted. Ketchup on eggs.? mmmmm

Jim Dandy:  I should have responded yesterday, but you sent me off on a quest.  I had to find out what FLAC files are, and how one plays them.  I found it's site, very easy, just Google it, and I got the names and URLs for decoders.  Then, to clarify my new-found knowledge, I had to check it out with my favorite geek.  Well, you know how geeks are, and I'm still not sure.  I've heard a lot about the decoders not working.  Evidently, most of FLAC is free technology.  WuHu!!! (Loved that!) - just like the old Internet. 

But, FYI, if you like Big Wu.  I have discovered the CD of theirs I like the most (mainstream stuff here) and that is Spring Reverb.  They have the Dead sound, but their harmonies are sooooooo lovely on that CD.  And, their album art?  Gauguin-like - really fun to stare at.

(gawd - I wish I'd proof before I hit enter)

boop2004: music is sometimes like ketchup on eggs,some people love it and others can't get into it,I'm happy you enjoyed it

Wu Hu is right...
I never heard of that- thanks guys : )
I don't know if U Tune is tied to WMP...just recently discovered them..

and yeah, Jim Dandy- any Dead song will do....can go on forever...and ever...and ever...

I think I hit the motherlode with is site.Here's a whole bunch of Wu concerts,not to mention a whole bunch of other bands WU HU!

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=mr%20big%20wu

Jim Dandy:  There is a clip of them on U Tune.  I didn't put it up here, because somehow it sounded distorted on my system.  It might be alright, but either way, you could check them out.  I can suggest their album Tracking Buffalo Through the Bathtub, recorded in 1999.  I've been meaning to download it for a long time.  They bear watching as far as I'm concerned.

Does anyone know if U Tune is tied to WMP? 

TexasToest: I hadn't heard of them till now.I just checked out their website and from what I read they sound pretty cool
