Who are your ten favorite/best/most-influential, etc..guitarists of all time. The Rolling Stone top 100 guitarists list is a ridiculous joke. I'd like to see what serious music lovers (like those on the Naim Forum)consider to be their top 10...

Picked this CD up a couple weeks back and it's quite good for the genre (blues/rock). I never heard of this guy, and the notes in the case have very little information/credits/etc. Much of the material was recorded in the 80s/90s, but it was being...

Can anyone recommend well recored R & B CD's. Not the current chart type stuff but old / older great artists that sound great on a good spec Naim System. I have bought a few CD's recently and have been very disappointed with the quality of the recording. Any offering greatfully received. Regards Chris

Recently I bought the album Never Never Land on CD as I was enjoying an MP3 of it that a friend gave me. I noticed some strange things about it: 1) the Ozzy sample on the first track has now gone, and 2) there's an additional track at the end.Some...

I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of this the other day and can only 100% recomend it to anyone who in the slightest bit likes them. Its fantastic and sheds even more light (if needed) on how great they were. It has such a live feel and far...

Whilst driving to work I heard part of 'pictures at an exhibition' on the radio and said to myself this is a must have. I don't know who the artist was, so am looking for suggestions. Having always heard the orchestral version, I didn't realise that...
