Thus ends tonight's run from acts announced for riotfest Chicago this year. I did also squeeze in a 45 rpm Blue Monday single by New Order that fits the bill.

Dude if you don't like it turn it into a clock.

The only time I ever bought an album based on the artwork, I ended up with Boston's Third Stage. Somehow, I'd managed to miss their earlier work entirely, so Third Stage was a real blast.

Everyone had the 1st album poster, Right next to Farrah.

Home at last. Now for some sounds...

Kevin, you've been out on the road for most of the last 6 weeks I think. Enjoy your downtime and thanks for keeping the product flowing.

I had a Farrah poster right next to my other Farrah poster which was next to a Cheryl Tiegs poster.

I thought I saw a Shadow Spirit lurking under those chaps.
The miles are so low on my '98 A.C.E. I'm not even going to tell you it's so embarrassing...what the hell, 12,000.

Get on that thing and set course for SWLA. DINNER is on me and we have an extra bedroom so you won't need a hotel. Put some miles on that thing!

Bro, you are off the charts out of control. I like it.

Cool Brother, I'm "OnTheBlitz" . It's all good....

Thanks, Frank. Yes, it has been a long time. I have tomorrow and Saturday off, then I'm back at it. This thread keeps me sane during the imprisonment.

It certainly works well going from an iPhone speaker to a pair of electrostats. I haven't forgotten your advice about the FM tuner. I just haven't had a chance to buy one yet.

LOL, I can put it above my man cave signs

I did that with Mahogany Rush's Strange Universe. After listening to it I became a Frank Moreno fan for life.

There's so much I could recommend that crosses the divide between classical and popular. It's a good idea to get it into your head at the outset that the classical guys were the rock stars of their day. Too often, classical music is painted as boring, old-man music. The truth is far different. Since no-one else has (so far) chimed in, I'll add another recommendation: Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition". And then if you want to cross the divide and haven't already got it, get Emerson Lake and Palmer's version. Then you'll see how our beloved rock is firmly embedded in a classical past.

Somehow I missed Speedy's original query, but I get the gist from Kev's reply.
I'd recommend J.S. Bach's complete" Brandenburg Concerto's" for a rockers classical primer, or perhaps Mussorgsky's "Night On Bald Mountain".

@NeedForSpeed is looking for "must have" classical pieces. I'd say you just hit the nail on the head with those pieces. I'm going to add my "up next": Beethoven's 6th Symphony, the Pastoral. It's one of my favourites, although it falls well short of the 9th, that I recommended earlier (but then, what doesn't?)
