It's not as effective with Digital music. CD and digital music has homogenized to the point much of the joy and wonder is gone. The Vinyl and Tape medium was a listening experience that CD just can not match. Every time you play a CD it sounds exactly the way it sounded the first time you heard it. That's why when CD's first came out, everyone thought it was great, because they never heard those tracks that way before. But by the 3rd or 4th time you finally realized how flaccid the medium was.
On vinyl every time you listened to it, you were attuned to a subtle nuance in the mix you may have never noticed before, and the pops cracks and hisses also made a random experience out of it. I don't think I have ever once told others in the room while a CD was playing. "Shh hey listen! This is my favorite part..."

All you get with digital music is notes and beats, nothing else. And it's always presented the same every time you play it.

So there's nothing to explore with heightened awareness that smoking pot can provide, because you've heard it before. It sounds the same straight or high.

If you like, I can digitally add that distortion in, can also change the speed of the playback to simulate variation of a record motor, even warping of the record. I can also simulate skipping of the record.

People whine and moan that "it's just not like the old stuff". What you're actually complaining about is the loss of exclusivity. Record players were expensive, there were quality variations, you had to adjust the damned thing, you had to spend heavily on speakers..

Well no more. $50 prepaid phone and $10 headjacks give you the same experience..

The whole point of digital is fidelity reproduction. If we had not invented this technology most music, from before 1980 would have been lost. Nothing is lost now.

Oh boo hoo, now we all have PERMANENT preservation. The horror.....

I love vinyl, I hate the hassle of playing it is all. My main listening spot is at this computer with studio monitors or over ear headphones. I also prefer live music.

There are great albums and some bands did first take tracks live and nailed it. Nothing can beat recorded live music in my world though. I like a little imperfection here and there, but when a band nails it, it's fucking phenomenal. Especially if recorded well. As a drummer I have to give mad respect to anyone that can nail a live performance. It's not easy with 3-6 people in your typical band.

I think replay of music is more about speakers and any equalizing you prefer. You can play digital through quality vintage speakers and get a sound you like. Vinyl also kind of fucked music if I'm being honest. I don't like formatted songs that were created to fit on the A side of a record. Radio didn't help either. The majority of my top 10 bands (always changing) generally play 7-15 minute songs.

Think of orchestral music as well. Music wasn't meant to be played in 2:30-3:30 minute time span. It told a story. Go listen to Pink Floyd Animals with a beer or bourbon and maybe a puff of weed. That's music to me. Not shitty short pop songs.

Get your ’70’s on. Hot Tuna songs from the Burgers album. Yep, that is Papa John Creach on the live version.

When I worked at RCA, as a junior engineer, although I knew about Shannon's law and the Nyquist theorem and so on, I wasn't convinced that in 1995, that digital could perfectly replicate analog because in THEORY analog was said to have infinite fidelity.

Well, that's not true. I've seen this shit on a scope, where we were comparing original analog data to digital data recomposed from MP3, which is basically the signal broken down into Laplace transforms.

A lot of you guys think "I prefer analog", well since the 1980s, and EARLY 1980's, it's been digital. The analog component was just the consumer version of it. Masters have been digital for like 40 years.

The RIAA fucks up music now, just to get you to buy another version of it, over and over and over again. A CD of Pink Floyd in 1995, doesn't sound the same as one today, because they are FUCKING with the master to distort it, because it has to be different to sell it, not better, just different.

The MPAA does the same thing, constant re-releases, director's cut, director's new cut, now it's Blu-Ray, they change color and saturation levels.. I just want to see 1080p digital reproduction of the film that was shown in theaters, except in rare exceptions. The director's release of Blade Runner was better than the theatrical release. I've learned to ignore color and saturation levels. You can adjust that digitally now anyhow.

What a Jesuit education, psychedelics, and the Arizona desert can wrought: The Meat Puppets.

Saw this band in the misspent days of my ute, at a small club in San Diego. Was expecting mellow psychadelic rock, like in the Up On the Sun album. But just as the psychedelics were kicking in, they came on the stage and played their songs in sped up hardcore punk style, and the crowd went crazy.

I like long form songs is my problem. Anything under 5 minutes just doesn't do it for me generally unless it's a really well written song. With digital downloads I feel like we need to break out of the vinyl timing and CD timing or radio timing.

I've gone to live shows where they play a one hour song, no stops or 2 minute drum solos either. I honestly feel like short songs are lazy. Orchestral pieces are almost never under 5 minutes. I'm not into it, but respect the work that went into making it. I don't mind listening to it, but can't do it too much.

A song like Bohemian Rhapsody is a decent example. I get sick of Intro, verse, refrain, verse, refrain, bridge, refrain, outro format. Hell if there's even an outro. No one listens to music on radio anymore that I know of. So let's get rid of the 3m songs. Some of the most iconic songs made are all 5m plus. They just had to make single takes of it like Free Bird. Radio cut was 4:41, but it's actually a 9m song. And not saying I like that song. Easy example. People will listen to long songs and yell it out at every show.

Sorry for the rant. As a drummer I HATED starting songs. It's like let's just play. Sat in with some new guys and buddies out in Montana in January and played 30 minutes straight. It's just more fun that way for me. In high school we got our hands on a projector and played to the entire Alice in Wonderland movie just jamming. And yes, we were high as a kite. It was okay for being 17. I think my buddy has the recording.

From the top comment: "When you are able to bring the actual band members of Led Zeppelin to tears over your stairway cover, you know you’ve done something right."

This is one of the most popular songs of the sixties. California Dreaming by The Mamas & the Papas.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-aK6JnyFmk

An earlier recording of California Dreaming by The Mamas & the Papas had different lyrics!

The lyrics in the earliest version of the song say...

"Stepped into a church I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
and I began to pray"

Vs the popular sixties version that says...

"Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray"

Note that this latest version is grammatically incorrect because it is mixing the Past Tense with the Present Tense.

See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPSQHipkfGA

Here Michelle Philips is singing with the Beach Boys and she [IMO] says "began to pray." Note that Michelle Philips is the author of the lyrics.

God bless you Michelle!

"Are you going to Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
she once was a true love of mine"

Scarborough Fair is another song - an old English ballad - from the sixties made popular by Simon & Garfunkel.

This rendition is by Sarah Brightman in a clip from The Lord of The Rings!

Broke my heart to see him go,
And only time will heal my woe,
Johnny has gone for a soldier...

• This Land Is Your Land -- Woody Guthrie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo_A-7Pespg

This land is your land and this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
Saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me...

• America The Beautiful -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCQq6HzcXI8

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain

America, America,
God shed his grace on thee
and crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea...

• God Bless America https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohxDqJCI3yY

God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above

From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home...

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads...

• Oh My Darlin' Clementine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twRr3ygK3TM

Oh my darling, oh my darling

You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorrow, Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty-niner
And his daughter, Clementine...
