    why so few overlap in these two lists?

    the first link is the most recorded songwriters (i.e. music written by Irving Berlin has been recorded over 8000 times) the second link is the best selling artists of all time (i.e. the beatles have sold 183 million albums).

    weather patterns

    I remember getting into weather history ten years ago as a way of disproving or proving global warming. I'm of the view that it is mostly real but that it's actually a good thing (the less subzero temps the better). Looking at the warmest and coldest records set in Des Moines - what do you think...

    car center consoles

    thanks. That was definitely the best reply. My question is this: why can't the interior be a custom thing that each car can have? Similar to how you can swap out keyboards and not change computers. Also why do they have to keep changing the interior? Is a brand new fender strat that much...

    car center consoles

    I'm pretty clueless about cars. My question is if anyone knows if there is such a thing as a custom center console. I'm slightly autistic and am extremely fussy about the operational part of the car being the same. It's why I always have a kb2521 keyboard because I can't type on anything else. I...

    hot take

    what if the never discuss politics/religion rule is missing the point? I can imagine two guys chatting at a foundry in 1948 asking who the other was voting for. One would say Truman and the other Dewey. It would be as if they were talking about if they were rooting for the vikings or the...

    english vs american music in mid-to-late 60s

    Comparing mid-to-late 60s American music to its uk counterpart shows some differences. Like even psychedelia meant a different thing in the us than the uk. In the U.S. psychedelia meant something like this: In the U.K. it meant this: So if you take these two examples as representative of...

    reading up on plane crashes

    have you guys ever got the impression that crashes involving a landing are more survivable than those during takeoff? Like if you hit something while taking off and you can't abort and barely get above ground - not only are you basically an unguided missile but no one is going to survive. (see...

    anyone heard of Tame Impala?

    surprised he's playing a rickenbacker in that video. I would assume that sort of spaced out type of sound they're known for would be via a strat.

    Dave Mason

    I remember getting into Traffic around 2013 or 2014. As you know, Dave Mason was on the band's first few albums. It was hard to categorize them but I would place them somewhere around the Moody Blues early Pink Floyd or Procol Harum. Not only proggy but a type of band that could only exist in...

    why did great britain have so many more

    all of those guys were good guitar players but a lot of them were A) from different time periods (Berry, Eddy, Montgomery, atkins are 50s guys) and B) session musicians and C) different genre I'm not sure what genre you want to call it but the type of genre the guitarists I mentioned above were...

    why did great britain have so many more

    guitar legends than the states? At least in the mid 60s through early 70s. The U.S. has/had way more people than britain yet the number of guitar legends in britain was way higher. They had: Richards Page Beck Townshend Clapton Blackmore Gilmour Green Marriott Davies the U.S. during that same...

    any of you guys heard of matt gaetz

    he's the us house member from nw florida which ironically is scarborough's old district. I disagree with him on probably 90-95% of all issues - but it's entertaining to watch him self own. I'm not sure who the better comparison to him is - AOC or swalwell.

    question about Lynyrd Skynyrd

    i think it also shows how much the music scene and society itself had changed between 1967 and 1974. SAC, while it had a psychedelic flavoring to it - was basically a sunshine pop band along the likes of the turtles or the association. Sort of an upbeat sound to it. Skynyrd had much more of a...

    question about Lynyrd Skynyrd

    I remember watching a documentary of the group last year and they mentioned that one of the guys in the group had been in a flower power band before he was in skynyrd. Why on earth would he want to join Skynyrd? I mean its like a 180 degree change in music style.
