Neither really. Dick Tracy.

Post by erik on Jan 27, 2019 13:14:04 GMT -5
Tough to choose between the two, but I'll go with THE SHINING (close)

Dolly in the early 70s: "Joshua" or "Coat Of Many Colors"?
|
|
|
Post by egoodstein on Feb 23, 2019 19:37:23 GMT -5
Another toss-up. But coz COMC is so well-known, I'll opt for Joshua today, Bobby Gentry 'other' albums: The Delta Sweete or Patchwork?
|
|
|
Post by erik on Feb 23, 2019 22:30:56 GMT -5
Delta Sweete (close)
Joan Baez albums: Any Day Now or Diamonds And Rust?
|
|
|
Post by egoodstein on Mar 2, 2019 23:16:00 GMT -5
Any Day Now-- my fave of hers after the 1st one. D&R pretty good too, but uneven some IMO.
More Joan Baez albums:
Joan Baez 2 or Baptism: Journey Through Our Time?

Joan Baez 2
Covers of Dylan: "Tomorrow Is A Long Time" (Elvis Presley) or "She Belongs To Me" (Rick Nelson)?
|
|
|
Post by egoodstein on Mar 12, 2019 17:47:44 GMT -5
She Belongs to Me. I like Sandy Denny's cover of Tomorrow Is a Long Time more than Elvis's. Don't even mind Rod Stewart's either . To Daddy: Emmylou Harris's cover or Dolly Parton original?

Jimi Hendrix: "If 6 Was 9" or "All Along The Watchtower"?

Post by egoodstein on Mar 17, 2019 14:10:30 GMT -5
Unlike most probably, If 6 Was 9.

Post by erik on Mar 17, 2019 19:35:54 GMT -5
Younger Than Yesterday (close)
Classic West Coast instrumentals: "Wipe Out" (The Surfaris) or "Pipeline" (The Chantays)?
|
|
|
Post by egoodstein on Mar 24, 2019 22:39:22 GMT -5
That's tough, both fine. I'll go w. Pipeline today.
Parades: Tournament of Roses in Pasadena or Macy's Thanksgiving Day in NYC?
|
|
|
Post by erik on Mar 25, 2019 22:42:19 GMT -5
I'm biased, but it would be the Tournament of Roses Parade.
Somewhat lesser known Ravel: "Le Tombeau Du Couperin" or "Gaspard De La Nuit"?
|
|
|
Post by egoodstein on Apr 6, 2019 13:00:31 GMT -5
Tough one there. Gaspard-- more often anyway.
Ravel Daphnis and Chloe or Debussy Afternoon of a Faun?
|
|
|
Post by erik on Apr 6, 2019 17:07:56 GMT -5
"Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Faun" (close)
BANDIDO or THE WONDERFUL COUNTRY (films set south of the border starring Robert Mitchum)?

Wonderful Country-- today anyway.
Old TV Westerns: Gunsmoke or Bonanza?

Gunsmoke (close)
George Szell or (Sir) Georg Solti? (great 20th century conductors)
|
|
|
Post by egoodstein on Apr 30, 2019 10:22:04 GMT -5
Both great. Have to go w. Szell overall.
More conductors: Eugene Ormandy or Herbert Von Karajan?
|
|
|
Post by erik on May 1, 2019 18:33:15 GMT -5
Ormandy (close) (his not being a Nazi helped [IMHO])
