When you pulled up the Black Sea

[@mikeace5831]

You know your stuff

[@jbsvinylcassettes8585]

Great take my dude! Many phenomenal choices….”Songs For the Deaf” is one of my favorites as well!!👊🏼

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

When I first heard it, I couldn't stop playing it!

[@johnsimmons5056]

What a great selection of music...I think they are all great and listen to them as well.

[@willhouse]

My Mom-in-Law saw Zappa on that Roxy/elsewhere tour, & was one of the gals who tried to dance with their freaky noodling onstage. My partner always said that she'd danced with Zappa & I was always like, "Coooool" but a couple years later when I realized that she was dancing during *that* section it was a major 😳🤯🤩🤩🤩 moment. She saw Iggy Pop roll around in peanut butter, too. Cool lady, that Mom-in-Law.

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

Definitely!

[@bonejangler3431]

I was just listening to "Spectrum" last night. Great album!

[@faulrevere8938]

Great list, by the way...all great albums for sure. I love Spectrum as well...utterly bad ass record.

[@vinylspin]

That Yes has shifted to my favorite/most played album too. Too few (if any) ever show BOC. Great album, and band! Have you heard Buck Dharma's 'Flat Out'? I hated that Devo freebie cassette from the RCA Music Club so bad I recorded over it, now I regret it. Love their videos. Are you a Spark's or Residents fan? Zappa has grown on me after seeing '200 Motels'. I prefer his complex proggy excursions of virtuosic genius with his band mates.

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

I love Sparks, I need to do a video of their catalogue, and I reviewed their most recent LP on my channel. Thanks for the tip on Buck Dharma. Also, check out my Residents collection video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6LKcmaOhr11r6s

[@vinylspin]

@@BillsBoxOfSound Wonderful, sure seemed logical. Dharma was a curiosity grab, and though perhaps not BOC par level, still fun. I thought their earlier studio sound needed more expansive sound to liven their deserving songs' impact as heard later. Thanks Bill, and congrats on your new album, I'll check all three out!

[@paulayers1111]

I play more of Close To The Edge by Yes and Secret Treaties by BOC. My favorite by BOC , although my favorite Yes is actually Tales…

[@DarkSideOfThePepper]

Great tunes.. I Listen to Floyd & Yes every single week, BOC is great, my favourite is Secret Treaties...Then comes Mr Zappa, I just listened to Roxy again last week...side 3 nice and loud. Leland Sklar runs a great YT Channel..what a down to earth guy

[@ELPCOTILLION-SD1970]

If The Summer Changed To Winter...Yours Is No Disgrace...

[@dixielandfarm]

I used to say Fragile or CTTE was my favorite Yes album, but I actually listen to The Yes Album the most

[@SpenceCurry]

Spirit blackfield the bears lilac time victoria Williams Roger Whittaker. Al de miola. Roy Harper. David sylvian gracepool. Too many favorites . These artists will have to do

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

Whatever turns you on is good. Crank it up....Roger Whittaker? No shame, sir.

[@rednoiseful]

Be Bop Deluxe "Sunburst Finish" ❤

[@pmoran7971]

The best album is easily Electric lady land and yes I love the Yes album and all the early Genesis material and Desire by bob Dylan what an album!

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

Gotta admit I did pull out Foxtrot a few nights ago.

[@watdanuqta-mf5ms]

Always loved the Yes Album and no Rick Wakeman in sight. Excellent in every way. If you haven't heard the Friday Music 45 set, it's even better and I'm not a big fan of 45RPM reissues but this one shines, even clearer, looking into the performance, you would think Steve Howe is performing "The Clap" in your space, his footfalls so clear at first I thought it was a scratch. If you like Cobham, check out "Crosswinds" LP. I use the cut "Storm" a short but powerful drum solo as one of my reference recordings on a very ordinary pressing, simply explosive. Must play loud! P.S., I remember your cleaning videos from years ago and didn't know that you were still around.

[@matbasterson520]

I got my copy of BIH! I like this record a lot! It's well done and not like anything I have. Fair price too.

It’s all about looking cool. It’s KZbin!!!!

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

Just trying to communicate with people. The cool ones respond.

[@ChrisPropfeMusicallyObsessed]

I really like XTC. Haven’t listened to them in awhile. The Yes album rules. I like Tormato too. I know that’s an unpopular opinion…but I don’t care. Coltrane!! I saw BOC live and they rock!

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

I finally saw BOC live in 2022. Loved it! No shame in showing love for Tormato.

[@chrisshill5044]

I'm an old fart so here are my picks. David Bowie. Hunky Dory. Elton John. Caribou. Yes Fragile. T.Rex. The Slider. Sparks. Indiscreet. Edgar winter group. They only come out at night. Mr Big.

Let's hear it for us old farts. Raise one cheek now...

[@Matasky2010]

Hendrix ‘Smash Hits’, really? As a huge Hendrix fan I’d have zero reason to put on that album. Ever.

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

It's a time capsule for me. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@davidstanton1261]

Thanks again Bill! For turning me on to some new and old things and reminding me to listen to Black Sea again!! Which I did followed by the 4th side of Funky Nothingness, which just ended, Peace!Btw I think I have to vote for Drums and Wires as my Fav, XTC LP⭐!

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

Drums and Wires was my first taste of XTC and I still love it.

[@davidstanton1261]

@@BillsBoxOfSound Gonna have to put Drums and Wires on the table tonight!

Aw, man! I used to have a copy of Mirror Stars.

Some all time jammers. Not a Queen Of Stone Age fan but I respect the effort. Definitelydo a part two.

[@thevinylvault]

I found a copy of that Jimi hendrix LP a few weeks ago.

[@faulrevere8938]

Since virtually every single participant in this exercise claims that the records they listen to most are NOT their FAVORITES, please explain this phenomenon...seems illogical and disingenuous.

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

My Favorite Devo LP is Duty Now but I just end up pulling out the first album more often. Go figure.

[@faulrevere8938]

@@BillsBoxOfSound Then the debut is your favorite 😎

The Yes Album[1971]Is A Splendid Choice...One Of The Best Most Splendid Progressive Rock Record LPs About...

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

Interesting eclectic mix Bill. I do love Agents of a fortune , need to check out the BOC you showed. Love that Devo album, such a great album.

[@vinylrichie007]

The Yes Album was the first Yes album I heard. It is still my favorite.

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

We'll send you a copy of our stuff on vinyl ❤️

[@paulayers1111]

Really looking forward to the arrival of my BIH vinyl! I’ve been listening to the download lately and it gives lots of Devo, Residents vibes. I think “human race” is my favorite so far

[@paulayers1111]

Actually, the rhythm of the versus on “human race” reminds me a lot of the rhythm of the versus on Devo’s “red eye express”

[@ricklanders]

That Yes album is on my list for sure, although tbh it would be hard to say if I listened to that more or Fragile. Never heard that Zappa cd that I'm aware of, will have to check it out, thanks

[@grownmanrecordnight]

This was a killer list. I almost included Spectrum on mine, as well. Can never hear that album enough.

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

Yeah, 10 is too small a number when you dig the music that much!

[@RocknRonni]

All the early yes albums are all very very solid choices and then I saw the Coltrane and I said oh he's just trying to be cool lol. Then we see tyranny and mutation and I say this guy is cool very cool and then spectrum omg two of my favorites here. I didn't know there was a Kevin Gray remaster of spectrum I have a Japanese original but the Kevin Gray is now at the top of the list. going to eBay right now have a great day.

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

Thanks for watching, Ron! I like how you show a lot of obscure 70's and 80's psych and prog LPs that have a lot more musicianship going on under the surface(Example: "Ben", Vertigo, 1971). But of course you remember to respect the basic repertoire. Stay cool yourself! LOL😄😎

[@RocknRonni]

@@BillsBoxOfSound wondering about that Billy Cobham record is the catalog number RCV17268 looks like it's been reissued on clear vinyl by rhino 75th anniversary series just did a video of rare records part 1 have two more parts coming up in the next week or so and a couple of shootouts

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

@@RocknRonni Yep, RCV1 7268, Bar code 603497838202. Cut by Kevin Gray, Pressed at Optimal, and they used an analog master as far as I can tell. I tell ya, when I bought that Music On nVinyl version and they cut off the spoken intro of Quadrant 4, I knew they weren't using the original master. The Friday music version is not much better. The Rhino one is the one to get.

[@RocknRonni]

@@BillsBoxOfSound thanks bro yeah I saw the Friday music reissue was mastered by Joe roganoso so that's not so good then MOV reissued it but you know they do digital stuff and then I saw this one the Friday music European pressed one on clear vinyl and it is the Kevin great cut just wondered if they had ever issued that in the United States and was pressed at RTI because if they did I missed it thanks for your help bro.

Holy Shit...A SOUND GIZMO!! haven't seen one of these, other than mine, can be heard being played by Cris Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets on Victory Acres Joke Flower lp.

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

One of my favorite noise toys.

[@mikewatkinson1996]

Queens of the Stone Age is one of my favorites. Deaf is decent, but dont limit yourself to it! Rated R and Era Vulgaris are my personal favorites. IMO Era is their best work for a number of reasons. But i love all their stuff. Kyuss is one of my favs too. Desert rock just rules in general.

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

Oh yeah! I eventually wised up and got those QOTSA albums on vinyl, and one Kyuss compilation.

[@Vince_Tasciotti]

The German version of Smash Hits was where I first heard 51st Anniversary. I was stationed in England and Had heard Are You Experienced, Axis As Bold As Love, and Electric Ladyland. The German Smash Hits contains single A Sides as well as a few B sides too boot. Returning to the US, I was relegated to the US version of Smash Hits and I went on a search to find 51st Anniversary. I finally found it on a CD reissue of Are You Experienced? Boy Did That Make My Day. I have the vinyl issue of Roxy and Elsewhere, but I play the Barking Pumpkin CD reissue of it almost endlessly.

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

Thank you for commenting!

Must be a getting old thing

Great list . Thank you 😎👍

[@chrislarsen4938]

The Yes Album is a must!

[@ionfarmer]

Wow! European Smash Hits was my first album. Came from my cousin Mike who was stationed there. My aunt gave it to me for my first straight A report card in first grade and continued that tradition through out grade school to seed my record collection.

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

Funny how those records just keep popping up. Like "Boogie With Canned Heat", for instance.

[@ionfarmer]

Hooker 'n Heat never gets old for me!

[@mlblue5355]

Great selections!

Thanks!

[@augustonistal8200]

Really great selection!!! I own and i actually listen several of those albums. Songs for the Deaf is one of my favourites. I'm also a huge Hendrix fan. Congrats from Argentina.
