I looking for some suggestions on albums to listen to. I've been frustrated with the music being released these days so I have been looking to the 50's, 60's & 70's for music. I've been listening to Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, the Beatles, early Steve Miller Band, Cat Stevens, Marvin Gaye, John Coltrane & early Led Zeppelin. Right now I have a rotation of Stevie Wonder's 'Songs in the Key of Life', Cream's 'Disraeli Gears' and the Yardbird's 'Roger the Engineer' on the iPod. Any and all suggestions would be welcome.
not new but not mainstream music that I recommend, Railroad Earth, Galactic, Government Mule, moe., phish, Gogol Bordello, Mop Mop, Pogues, Quantic Soul Orchestra, Ween, Primus
As for older music you may have forgot. Temptations, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, J.J. Cale, Talking Heads,
just off the top of my head. There is mucho music out there, the problem is the music you like and I like is not pop, so it gets very little radio attention, but there is lots of music out there

I know that I am in the minority on this, but I wonder how the young players and draft picks would have developed over time instead of using these assets in the trades that were made. Clearly, some players needed a change, including Stafford and Grigorenko, but I continue to believe that we overpaid in some of our trades, particularly for Lehner. I understand that O'Reilly and Kane are quality players, but it seems that the trading of a significant portion of our assets has left us with a weak defense with few options in free agency. Of course we could make more trades to upgrade the defense, but do we really want to use our remaining assets to do so?
The rebuild has been painful, and fans of the Sabres should not be happy about the last few years, but I was willing to be patient for a bit longer.
You want quality assets you need to give quality assets.
Buffalo does not have the patience to wait 5 more years for all that young talent to possibly develop. If the Sabres were to take that route the majority of fans would of revolted.
At this point we are dwindling on assets, but if the goal is to start winning now then there is little reason to wait.

Sorry friend the Grateful Dead ceased to exist after 8 9 95. You saw 4 greedy old men driven by Jill Lesh. Also Earnie can't shine Jerry's shoes
ROTFLMAO
nothing could be further from the truth. Tickets for these shows were still cheaper than the majority of big name acts playing these sized venues. Hell even the stones were charging more for their tickets, and everyone who went to the stones says it was a great time and worth the price. The last 4 members have been playing shows ever since Jerry passed, what could possibly be wrong with them recapturing that on their 50 year anniversary??? Man that is hilarious, those 3 shows were FANTASTIC. still have goosebumps from them. I saw more than 80 shows pre-95, and the 3 in Chicago last weekend are up there with my favorite Dead shows ever. The whole weekend surpassed my expectations and I would gladly see that band play again
but you've made up your mind so the debate would be useless. and I can tell you the more than 70K who were attending that show and most all that streamed those shows will tell you it was worth every single penny
let me guess you are one of those Trey haters that just needs to whine about something.
If you are even a fan I strongly suggest you watch the shows the music was fantastic, and that is the only thing it was about.

We're not moving on. there is nobody out there worth pursuing accept Oduya at this point. If it is not Oduya then we wait for training camp and see who becomes available at the last minute

hopefully there will be some vids to share afterwards
enjoy that gin and tonic.

Just got back from Chicago for the last 3 Grateful Dead Concerts. Pretty amazing weekend. So many friends made the trip, and we broke the attendance record for Soldier field 3x's. Musically is was fantastic, Chicago was very laid back in regards to fans. Parking lots were a huge party and the streets of Chicago near the arena were going strong till daylight every night after the shows.
Trey filled is quite admirably at guitar.. I left wanting more... "They're a band beyond description, like Jehovah's favorite choir, people joining hand hand, while the music plays the band, they're setting us on fire"
There is lots of good music to be found out there

Bold move by the NHL I love it. Vegas will produce positive revenue for the NHL IMO
-
How about Resurrection Day.
How about Erection Day. because after these latest moves I swear it moved
-
no thanks. Don't see the value here as our team is built to grow together. We already have O'Reilly and Kane don't see the need to toss away Reinhart who should have a better career then both of those players early in his career and should blow them both away when he hits their ages

Something Murray said while talking about the Lehner deal helped me to soften up on my reaction to it; he said that every player in the league has had
that kind of injury at some point. I figure that's probably more true than hyperbole.
I'm guilty of looking at some of these moves in a vacuum at first, but I'd like to think I can be reasonable enough to look at the big picture. After I took some time to absorb the Lehner trade, and after hearing Murray talk about it, I'm good with it and believe it makes a lot of sense. I decided not to react to the O'Reilly deal until I had some time to absorb it.
Upon further reading, taking into account the details of the trade, and taking into account the opinions and viewpoints of those (here) whose hockey-think I respect, I like the move.
And then, again, stepping back and surveying the big picture, Murray's vision is becoming crystal clear and I really, really dig it. Each move, on its own, is a potential head-scratcher or cause for consternation on the surface, but after digging into the details, and looking at the moves together in context, I agree that there is absolutely nothing here to complain about. Indeed, I am in awe, for the most part.
Add a good UFA D man and this team looks poised to way surpass the projections saying a 20 point increase would be an improvement. I feel they could contend for a wildcard slot, if not better. And I believe that the vision is large enough and bold enough to make them Stanely Cup contenders. How can anyone complain about that?
that is the most well written recant I have ever read on a sports forum
-
no way anyone could be upset.. We look like a team ready to be a force IMO
-
OK -- let's keep track of this one (trading the draft pick, not making the playoffs, which I expect we'll be tracking anyway). Bragging rights at stake here.
Right on.. I'm just an optimist and I like what the Sabres have on paper with Kane and Bogosian and now Lehner added. Add a 2 way player like RoR to this mix and what is not to like. Thats a team ready to make a significant step up IMO
-
I don't think the Sabres will pick that high next year either, but it's certainly possible, and 6-10 is reasonably likely. Either way, I don't think GMTM will trade next year's #1. (Of course, WTH do I know?)
I think we will be a surprise team and we will squeak in the playoffs. And I do think next years 1st is completely on the table for the right player.
If RoR can be had then next years 1st is most definitely in play IMO, better next years 1st then another prime piece that is already in our system and ready to contribute this year
-
As in (Risto or Zemgus) plus (Zadorov or Pysyk) plus (Griggy or McCabe).
FWIW, I don't think GMTM will give up next year's #1 because he knows there's a real chance that it's a top-5 pick.
No way we pick top 5 next year IMO. and even if we did what are we going to do with that pick.. We would be better off with RoR as the team will be hitting its stride and established players would be more useful
-
Oh the comedy coming from the lone Reiger supporter
-
No, they weren't. He made a choice to do that. Remember "Suffering"?
Of course, the Sabres got cold feet and decided to fire everyone and hire old fan favorites (Ted Nolan and Pat LaFontaine) to fix things right away but it's not like sucking wasn't the plan.
So far Murray's two best moves are drafting Reinhart and Eichel -- the two critical parts of Regier's plan.
Evander Kane and Bogosian don't factor in ?
Your clouded hate for TM is affecting your ability to reason
His ability to trade away a guy like Moulson and get him back for nothign doesn't figure in ?
He made great moves loading us up with more top draft picks as well, and he is using those assets to bring the team out of the cellar sooner that later. I'm more excited for Sabres hockey future than I have been in awhile
-
Happy Eichel day boys.
Eichel Eichel All Day,
Jockamoa fee na all na nay
A very happy Eichel day to you to sir

Darcy did build the best Sabres team of all-time though. And we know his plan was to draft 1-2 overall in 2014 and 2015 (i.e. "Suffering") so it's likely we'd have Reinhart and Eichel even if he'd never been fired. We don't know what moves he would eventually try to make to build around them but presumably it would not have been just to keep all of his prospects.
Reiger is long gone and good riddance.
MUCH MUCH MUCH prefer Tim Murray at the helm
