Guess the Beatles Song (hearing only isolated guitar)

Brian's composing means nothing in that scenario? ? -

These are not YouTube vids they are links within Microsoft Start. I do have YouTube Premium.

That works in Edge. Nice.

But Brave will simply not import all my Favorites etc. I choose the option (with Edge closed) and Brave immediately shuts down. I open Brave again it says it shut down unexpectedly "Restore Pages?". If I say yes I'm right back to choices page, if I say no I'm at the main Brave page with the option (again) to import all my bookmarks/favorites. Rinse and Repeat ad nauseum. A circle jerk if I've ever seen one.

$1500 or $1800? Hard pass.

So I use Microsoft Start as my main news feed/home page in Edge. I'm comfortable with both and I don't want to change them. What is annoying is that any vid links I click on, they are interrupted with ads that I typically have to wait anywhere from 10 to 30 secomds before I get the "Skip Ad" button. What do I need to do to (I'll even pay for it) to stop these ads. Help @craigb, I just know you know the answer to this cr@p.

PSA: Amazon has become a dumping ground for cheap Chinese crap
Bapu replied to bitflipper's topic in The Coffee House
Oooof. Did you know you can get a Shure Beta91A brand new for ~$90 on ebay from about 20 vendors all in China. Legit retail price is $249. I wonder if those ebay 91A's are actual Shure products? ? -
Isn't this just simple every six months 'phone home' scheme in use since BandLab took over?

My work day ends at 3:00PM. Typically that is nap time. The Lovely Lady says I cannot start a nap after 4:00PM because I end up keeping her up until midnight. My typical nap time is 1 hour, but occasionally (weekends) I can grab 2 - 2.5 hours especially with a raging migraine. -

For his impact I'd agree. A plethora of pro drummers love Ringo to be sure. I do too. If it had to be only 5, I would easily drop Charlie for Ringo. Only because Ringo covered more diverse styles than Charlie, IMO, even though Charlies was far more technically competent than Ringo (again JMO).

+0.8 Yeah but.... did he really make classic rock classic? In the top 10 best rock drummers of all time, probably I'd agree.

This popped up in my newsfeed. Back in the 1960s and ’70s, classic rock was big, and the spotlight was usually brightest on the guys with the mics and/or the guitars. We think the ones in the back, sticks in hand, setting the rhythm to every tune should get a lot more attention. The drummers who helped make classic rock, well…classic were so much more than mere background noise; they kept the beat, set the pace, and brought that raw energy that is essential to classic rock. Here are five drummers who didn’t just play the drums—they helped make classic rock classic. 1. John Bonham of Led Zeppelin When you’re talking about classic rock bands, Led Zeppelin belongs at the top of the list. And when you’re talking about classic rock drummers, well, John Bonham is up there too. Bonham was the thunder behind the storm known as Led Zeppelin. Take “When the Levee Breaks,” for example. Is there a more iconic intro than that one? Also, in “Good Times, Bad Times,” Bonham nailed those ridiculously rapid beats with just one bass drum. Go ahead and try that. It’ll take you all of three seconds to realize how talented Bonham was. 2. Keith Moon of The Who When you think of energetic, frantic, absolutely crazy drumming, Keith Moon comes to mind. The man was an absolute whirlwind behind the drums. His playing style was wild, full of life, and full of power. Imagine a song like “My Generation” with a different drummer. It just would not be the same. Sure, he was a bit of a loose cannon offstage, but his drumming was that of a creative genius. 3. Neil Peart of Rush If Moon and Bonham were the fire-breathing dragons of classic rock drummers, Neil Peart was its wizard. He mixed rock and jazz to make Rush that unique entity in music: something that no one, anywhere, ever, could sound like. We suggest listening to “YYZ” as a case study. Peart was also the brains behind Rush’s thought-provoking lyrics. That is something that not a lot of drummers could say. 4. Ginger Baker of Cream How committed was Ginger Baker to expanding his musical horizons? He moved to Nigeria in the ’70s to seek out new styles. Of course, Baker had already reached classic rock bliss as the drummer for Cream. Before Peart, Baker blended jazz and rock drumming to create Cream’s distinct sound. 5. Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones The endurance award goes to Charlie Watts. The Rolling Stones’ super chill drummer was the steady heartbeat of the band for more than 50 years. And while his style was less showy, his beats in songs like “Start Me Up” fit like a glove. Watts loved jazz, but it’s his legendary impact on classic rock that earned him a spot on our list.
