Kaukonen?

Yes. I am fully aware of his work.

I still think that the very best music came out of the 60’s and 70’s from San Francisco and the Bay Area. The Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead and all the bands that came from them, Country Joe and the Fish, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Doobie Brothers, Santana, Steve Miller, Norton Buffalo, Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Janis Joplin, Hot Tuna, Journey, etc.

I saw kmfdm live three times in New York back in the early early 90s (late 80s?), I don't think I've listened to them at all in 30 years. Same with skinny puppy. Skinny puppy put on a hell of a theatrical show every time though. Demented fuckers.
Maybe I'll have to bust out the cassette tapes for some nostalgia.

Props for having a working Cassette Deck. NIHIL is the greatest Album ever created. ATTAK was an amazing rebirth of the group after a brief break up and reorganization, WWIII was a masterpiece, as was the following tour. The ultra heavy beat keeps producing, but the split from Raymond Watts after WWIII meant less killer tracks on the 11 Albums that followed. Nevertheless, absolute legends like Hell Yeah and Let Go, do occasionally surface.

In a world of deceit, open your eyes. Don't be afraid, and you'll realize...
 
I still have my cassette deck. It’s a Nakamichi ZX7. Perfect condition. Unfortunately it resides in its original box in my garage, along with my Thorens turntable.

I have a few old crumbling cassettes in old boxes somewhere, but that media was not a good size and shape to survive a long term in my lifestyle. I effectively gave up on the medium when I started using mp3 & wav backups to CD's like 25 years ago.
 
I used AI to distill the tracks listed here into a Spotify playlist. Enjoy!



(I used this prompt, and https://www.tunemymusic.com/home to do this in about 2 minutes.)

Scrape the page at https://www.bayarearidersforum.com/...ngs-require-you-to-turn-up-the-volume.568077/ (all three pages of it) and extract all of the artist and songs listed in the page. Create one entry for each song, with the artist attributed in each entry, and if a posting says "the entire album" pull the top three most popular songs from that album and add them to the list; if it says "the entire artist catalog" pull the top six most popular songs from that artist and add them to the list.

  • Not recoverable: About ten YouTube embeds, including littlebeast’s two Led Zeppelin songs, only came through as video links, so I couldn’t read the titles.
  • Overlaps: I counted the Iron Maiden and Van Halen entries toward their top-six totals even where a song was already listed, so those two artists contribute fewer new rows.

  • Not On Spotify: Paul Butterfield Blues Band East West
 
interesting … Ai seems to have dropped the classical music tracks listed in this thread—guess that is the feature of distillation, after all. :laughing :clown
