I have a Beach Boys box set that has several different iterations of Good Vibrations showing the stages of how the song was built.The box set also has an entire CD of the outakes of what was to be the Pet Sounds follow up before Brian Wilson had his nervous breakdown which scuttled the project

I also have a bootleg box set with three whole CDs full of nothing but fragments of the song "Good Vibrations". 3 hours plus of take after take after take, of all the different sections! It's kinda hard work to get through, but it's a fascinating listen and the sound quality is really excellent. |

My all time favorite bluesman is Howlin' Wolf. I highly recommend picking up the compilation His Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection).
One of my favorite songs on that record is his cover of "Sitting On Top Of The World".
There are a couple versions of "Built for Comfort" but this is my favorite.

I've been on a bit of a Queen kick lately. Me too. I'm not a huge fan of the band or anything, but I do enjoy some of their music a fair bit. I have the A Night at the Opera and Flash Gordon albums, along with their Greatest Hits Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. I just listened to A Night at the Opera this afternoon actually. Such a great album. I love that they're such a theatrical sounding band and the fact that they never took themselves too seriously means that their more over-blown productions and more pompous concepts come off as charmingly cheeky, rather than insufferably over-earnest, like so many of their contemporaries did. All in all, they're a great British pop band. Yes, I said "pop"...to me Queen have always been a pop band first and foremost, but with some heavier rock influences on display from time to time of course. It's unfortunate that, in this country at least, certain men of a certain age (and they've got large beer bellies), consider Queen to be the gold standard of a kind of blinkered, backward-looking, testosterone fueled rockism....you know, the whole dunderheaded "Queen, now that's proper music" mentality. I can't stand those kind of blokes. |

Few years back the ACCEPT guitarist released a solo CD titled Classical, where he covered some timeless pieces with blues flavor. Here is his rendition of Ravel's masterpiece. It was considered controversial at the time. Even the Maestro himself described his work as : "I am going to try to repeat it a number of times on different orchestral levels but without any development" No wonder I used to listen to this song for years before I went to sleep.
Wolf Hoffmann - Bolero

Smokestack Lightnin' is one of his best. I was pretty shocked a few years ago when I heard it being used in a Viagra commercial. |

Wildfire2099. He's here, but unlike me he seems to have a life & I don't think has posted a whole lot lately ... or at least not in the handful of threads I've kept an eye on (busy at work after a week off, & of course falling further behind pretty much by the minute).

Pharozonk, Confessor & I have a bit of a running joke over Wildfire's unfortunate assertion in the old forum's version of this thread that the Stone Roses were a grunge band (& Oasis a synth-based act). He's a good sport about it, though.
