Almost forgot! Neil Peart, the nonpareil drummer of the legendary rock band Rush, turned the big 6 0 today. Currently Rush is on tour but off tonight so I'm sure Neil is having fun wherever he is. :beer: Happy birthday to one of the best drummers the world has ever known (I was just kidding...

The classic Rush album turns 30 today. Widely cited as a dividing point in the Rush community between Rush's classic rock/hard rock period and their more synth oriented material of the mid to later 80's, it is also oft referred to as "the last good Rush album" by those who prefer Rush's...

I've been needing a place to post some of my 90's material as I listen to it that doesn't really fall into other genres/playlists (at least specifically so) so I finally decided to start this thread. So all 90's music lovers post away and enjoy! :music: I'm going to start with one of my...

So I've been looking for a place to post albums in this genre when I listen to them, so why not make a thread for this purpose? :D My main focus will be on the "traditional" acoustic based singer-songwriter/folk rock from the 60's and 70's, but artists from any decade are welcome, just as long...

So having gotten into the mp3 scene only really in the last couple of years or so, it has dawned on me that I'm sick of waking up to a traditional annoying alarm clock and would like to wake up to music that I like instead. :yes: So I was wondering if anyone knew of a good/decent sounding mp3...

So I'm getting back more into my cycling recently (since it's finally not so hot and muggy here and I don't mind the cold: I'll be riding all winter--except when there is snow and ice--and into the spring until it gets too hot again) and I brought my little Cowon I Audio F2 mp3 player out with...
