rediscovering old classics

[w_a_w]

while wandering in mexico recently I've started acquiring old cds I've long ago lost...
2 that have blown my mind again for the first time in maybe 10 years are:

santana - caravanserai
this cd was supposedly recorded live in studio while they were really fucked up on something...there is no finer santana cd...it mixes hard jazz with brazilian beats and has some of the most incredible ambience you will ever hear...try it, you'll like it...fyi, only about 3-4 songs on the cd have vocals

jane's addiction - nothing's shocking
I was in HS when this came out and it changed my life at the time...this cd was a huge nail in the coffin of 80's rock, totally throwing all conventions of the time right out the window...guitar work, drumming and songwriting are phenomenal and because such, it's whethered the test of time remarkably well considering it's now 18 years old...I'd say this is in the top 5-10 rock cds of all time

anyone else rediscovered some old favorites lately?

I'm downloading a film of the 1955 Rhythm and Blues Revue at the Apollo Theatre from archive.org. Does that count?

It's got Cab Calloway, Nat King Cole, Nipsey Russell, Count Basie.. this thing is gonna rock.

I got an assistant in Nov, and kinda had to share my radio at work. All he ever brought music-wise was Gov't Mule bootlegs and Grateful Dead. It was annoying at first then I started to like them. Still think Grateful Dead is extremely overrated though.

I wholeheartedly agree, back when I had hair I wouldn't listen to the Dead if you paid me - because EVERYBODY was doing it (I was a non-comformist to a fault)

Now I like their stuff, but wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it

I think everyone's seen that movie!

:heart:

I've never seen it. I don't recall if I've even actually heard of it. :O

I'm too young to have any of the music I like be considered old, or a classic. But then all I listen to anymore is what Knyte has on in the car or to whatever Disney movie Haylee is watching for the day.

[Sp`ange]

If you like Jane's Addiction, you should have a listen to 'Kettle Whistle'. It's a live album that's nice and trippy.

a few acquisitions from lastnight
The Police - Zenyatta Mondatta
The Police - Outlandos D'Amor
Lenny Kravitz - Mama Said (last good cd before he sold out to the man *shakes fist at whitey*)

U2 - War

[Arátoeldar]

I have that on vinyl too :D

And on CD so I can actually listen to it :fly: I 'rediscovered' that one I guess a couple years back

If you have have an original "This Was" on vinyl I'll be damn impressed. It is the only album that Mick Abrams appeared on and had a slight bluesy tinge to it.:cool:

[Arátoeldar]

well, at least it wasn't kenny loggins :fly:

Hey now, Hey now. There is nothing wrong with Loggins solo material but I prefer when he was teamed up Jim Messina.
