Hey there Bryan, ltns! I remember you saying a while back that you're legally blind. I'm interested to know, what does this mean, exactly? Obviously you can see well enough to use a computer (well enough to post on TB, anyway) - how much can you actually see? Does it stop you from reading...

I'm with Mike - Edgar Allan Poe. Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary...

I don't actually have the live album :eek:

...Prince was born in 1958 :hmm: I was reading the liner notes of his second album, and it says he learnt to play 26 instruments!?! I haven't even tried to think of what those could all be, but I reckon he must be cheating by counting each kind of drum in the drumkit separately or something :D

Goodness gracious me, that really does have everything on there, doesn't it?!? (Except Two Against Nature and Everything Must Go, obviously). Although it seems like a bit of a gamble, if you're not familiar with the band, I think I'm with Bruce on this one - buy the box set. Though, it...

Yep, I think I'd put my top three in that order too, actually. For me, Gaucho would come just behind Aja because, although the first five tracks are great, I don't think the last two are as good. Whereas, on Aja, all seven tracks are great.

One of the greatest bands in history. Get all of the albums, now! :D Personally, I would recommend getting the albums in chronological order, which is as follows: Can't Buy A Thrill (1972) Countdown To Ecstasy (1973) Pretzel Logic (1974) Katy Lied (1975) The Royal Scam (1976) Aja...

You mean that notation is used on some specific lead sheet of those tunes? I wasn't referring to the idea of specifiying that a chord is thirdless as clumsy, I said I think that saying "omit 3" is clumsy - mainly because of the word "omit". IMO, chord symbols should be short.

It's a possibility, but I wouldn't notate it that way. Personally, I think it's a little clumsy putting "omit 3" in a chord symbol - JMO. A(add b9 omit 3) may not be the most appropriate chord symbol here - because it really depends on context. Looking at the chord on its own, I can...

I prefer the mid to late 70s stuff too - but, I do think Dog Eat Dog is fantastic. Wild Things Run Fast and Chalk Mark In A Rain Storm are good, but Dog Eat Dog is Brilliant.

1. Difficult to say. Are those the only notes - is there a bass note under that? A A# and E alone don't really constitute any nameable chord. If there was a C underneath it, for example, it could be C13. 2. It stands for No Chord. Maybe this explains question 1 :D

In general, I don't find myself wanting to do illegal things anyway, because most things that are illegal I probably wouldn't choose to do. Underage sex might be one exception (if I were younger that is!). If I were 15 or 16 or so, I think I might well refuse to have sex with a 15 year old...

The Beatles - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Why has no-one mentioned this already? Anyway, the album is a fictional concert put on by a fictional (and somewhat psychedelic) band called Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. By this point, The Beatles had stopped touring themselves...

Speak for yourself :D

Yeah, whatever. I know what I saw.
