"Hallelujah" is a great, great song....may just be my favorite Leonard Cohen song...but I still think the best version is by John Cale. Never appreciated Jeff Buckley....too much hype about how he was even better than his dad (Tim Buckley). Sorry....nowhere close. None of these kids ever come close to their parents....I'll always take Richard over Teddy Thompson (although Teddy is getting better....), Bob over any of the assorted Marleys, Frank over Dweezil Zappa........and don't get me started on Rufus Wainright!!!! Take care, Eric
 
Rufus Wainright! You don't like Rufus Wainright???

Eric, did you ever think the problem is that the kids should not be compared to their parents? I mean, Bob Dillon is great and all. But I think his son has a better voice. Bob is the poster child for lazy singers everywhere. I would never compare the two because even though they are related, they are apples and oranges musically.

And Jeff Buckley was good. Overhyped, maybe. But he died before we got to find out.
 
This one is for Heather.

Greatest 80's duo, hands down. The 'stache will not be resisted.
 
That really is the problem....these kids should change their names so nobody compares them....Jeff Buckley was overhyped...but I think he died at the same age that his daddy did...I don't know which is dumber...a heroin overdose just as your'e getting your health together, or wading out into the Mississippi into strong current with your boots on...well, maybe I do know which is dumber......and yes, I really, really hate Rufus Wainright! ( although my children hate him even more than I do...)...I love Louden Wainright, and I love the McGarrigles....but Rufus.......no way...I saw the Leonard Cohen movie, where all those different people do his songs, and without a question Rufus was the worst...really ruined those songs even though he was reading the lyrics from cue cards...(Antony was the best, but the camera wisely focused on his face....not his weird arm movements...this guy makes Joe Cocker look poised.....)Take care, Eric
 
Wasted Time by The Eagles

Insane by Fleetwood Mac (the live version w/ a solo Lindsey Buckingham)

Take the Long Way Home by Supertramp



I created an oldies playlist on iTunes. :)
 
Right now a Miles Davis concert from 1969, recorded in Paris...great sound..and I just finished listening to an unbelievable 1980 concert with John McGlaughlin and Larry Coryell, recorded in Japan...Take care, Eric
 
Got another Miles Davis concert...this one from the Fillmore East (ahhhh...all those memories...though I never saw Miles there...) from 1970....Incredible concert, great sound...surprised that it was never released...Take care, Eric
