Lately it has been some Marian Hill, Yosi Horikawa and Billie Eilish. Streamed from AppleMusic.

I'm a big Van Halen fan and this isn't anything new but ... 316 is an awesome speaker demo track on the RAALs. Just passing along!

If I didn't recommend it already Mammoth WVH's album it is also pretty good if you want bass. If you don't like it it's at least got a giant crab picture on it so that makes it worthwhile for that alone. Curious to see what he does next.

I treated myself to 2 full albums of Robin Trower earlier today, Bridge of Sighs (2007 remaster) and Where Are You Going To. If you are not familiar with Bridge of Sighs - it is a must listen.

Great choices, Dave! I first saw him in 1987 at Mud Island in Memphis, then; Redondo Beach, CA @ The Strand (1988), back in Memphis during Memphis In May Musicfest around 1993. Finally in 2006 or so @ The New Daisy Theater. Unbelievable artist, and in concert; hang on!!! Lol!!!! Amazing!!
"Bridge Of Sighs" is Legendary!!! All his albums are good. The first several are essential! I don't yet have his latest. It's on my short LP list.

On vinyl, I have, 'For Earth Below', 'Bridge Of Sighs', 'Caravan To Midnight', 'Victims Of The Fury', & 'Passion'.

My daughter is a huge Billie Eilish fan, her music is basically streaming in my home 24/7...

You are a wise person laserllama. Van Halen is IMO the greatest American rock band ever, and Edward Van Halen is my all time favorite musician by a long shot. Like many kids who grew up in the 80s, EVH was the main person who inspired me to learn the guitar. Van Halen always gets regular play on my home stereo. In fact, this mini statue in the picture here resides atop one of my speakers.

The Pineapple Thief "Versions Of The Truth" LP

Stared on another thread and maybe mentioned already, but on the new ELX Towers so far the Blue Man Group's "Complex Rock Tour" album is about the best percussion demo track I've found, with all of the PVC pipes and toms and bass and stuff.

SOOOO good on the ELX's. Needs to be in your demo track rotation IMHO

Awesome! It looks like it's sitting on top of a big Marshall stack.

And totally. They were my first favorite rock band and are still my favorite. His synthesizer stuff stuff (not so much Jump, but like everything) is good too. Got to see them a few times, first time being rather late in like 2006. So good and MUCH heavier than expected!

Eva Cassidy - Live at Blues Alley on 45 rpm vinyl, based on recommendation elsewhere on this forum. Really good album although I'm done ordering vinyl from Amazon - first one they sent the wrong album, second time there was a big scuff on one side. Re-ordered from Elusive Disk and a very good pressing (albeit not 100% perfect - I'm guessing it's the manufacturer)

Thanks for this recommendation. I just purchased this CD
