My3Sons said:My kids were talking about vinyl records making a big comeback. I understand from people that supposedly can tell the difference that vinyl is a richer sound or fuller or somehow more. It’s funny to me because as a kid I felt albums were so fragile and prone to little scratches that would lead to noise artifacts. Cassettes we’re ok but a bit hissy. When CDs came out I was in heaven. The best sounding one to me when they first came out was Peter Gabriel’s album from 1982. The drums on Lay Your Hands on Me were so clean and powerful. It was a game changer for me. I can’t imagine going back to a vinyl record.
OK Lets continue, the other thread about nothing was HOT lately !!
Jim I got that Black Sabbath tribute album when it came out was a little bit disappointed in it though. I remember it was released shortly after the Led Zep tribute album Encomium, which had some good covers
I'll tell you what got me pumping more iron in the gym (my garage) was Dirt by AIC, that was a heavy album
I dont like the new re-mixed versions of any song/album really, definitely too slick, and they take out those little nuances like hearing the singer chewing gum, or I remember on Physical Graffiti (vinyl) before Black Country Woman you could hear an airplane in the background and one of the band members said "nah leave it" then the song started, on the CD they cleaned it up and removed it, but I liked it! I guess for new fans it didn't matter cause they never heard it anyway. Yeah I hate when they "remaster" thingsgetting back to the old thread you mentioned CDs vs vinyl…….
anyways, im an LP guy and one thing i noticed was that london calling is not a great sounding record in terms of the the recorded sound…its off in some way
… there was a remastered release on CD years later (which i borrowed from my brother just to listen) and i found it as bad for completely different reasons….way too slick and the stereo mix was not at all what i was used to hearing
with its warts ill stick to the LP

yeah I just went and listened to it, and especially with live music, those little sounds are part of the song, you wanna hear that stuff, its like when you see a photoshopped picture of someone and they removed the lines and wrinkles from their faces, it's just a bunch of bologna!nirvana unplugged …the feedback on the mic at one part during the bowie cover (around 1:58)

It was a brand new album by a band I didnt really know, thats one reason I loved it, plus it reminded me of Sabbath and Zepplin etc, it really pumped me up, plus MTV was playing songs off that album at the time, remember MTV !!Maybe tomorrow morning at the gym I'll listen to Alice in Chains.
Not enough rage for workout music though
Another dead singer from that time frame...It was a brand new album by a band I didnt really know, thats one reason I loved it, plus it reminded me of Sabbath and Zepplin etc, it really pumped me up, plus MTV was playing songs off that album at the time, remember MTV !!

I remember my wife showed me a post from Reddit, I think it was after Chris Cornell died that said something to the effect "Eddie Vedder singing " I'm still alive" just seems like bragging at this point"
Not enough rage for workout music though
Metallica might be the best for me. Battery is my favorite in the gym.workout?...

I'm going to take that AIC gym advice today.Jim I got that Black Sabbath tribute album when it came out was a little bit disappointed in it though. I remember it was released shortly after the Led Zep tribute album Encomium, which had some good covers

yeah finding a good cover of Sabbath is hard, I mean Ozzy's voice is just the right fit for Black SabbathMy issue with covers is do they offer something I enjoy apart from the original. I struggle to hear covers of Led Zeppelin material that I find worthwhile. Same for Sabbath. I’ve typically found the original still holds up. Beatles stuff is old enough and can be roughed up to offer something different. Like Gary Clarke’s Come Together. Nirvana’s Bowie cover unplugged had that different atmosphere. I am pretty sure I posted the Bowie cover of See Emily play which updated the sound and production to mid 1970s versions and really changed the song for me and also suggested to me the direction Syd Barrett would have gone if he hadn’t struggled with mental illness.
I'm borderline more a fan of Disturbed's version of The Sound of Silence than I am Simon and Garfunkel's. And I really like Simon and Garfunkel.
