I think I agree with all of your assessments, Jim.
Second that opinion on Black Noise - the thing about Surveillance is that three or four of the songs are better than BN (Seventh Heaven, for instance is the best song they ever did), but the rest don't compare. Reminds me of a BOC record.
As time passes, I'll see what happens with Gambale, Vai, Ozrics, and do a separate thread if needed (see below). It's good to see you're on top of it. Excellent to see that the other requests are in the works.
The Montrose is a lost gem.
The CTS is tough to get. I had to get it with Animal Notes on the same CD.
Didn't see a reply on the Wilding & Bonus. It was only one record, and was a hybrid of artists. Note - this is why I didn't want to start a thread for each item I mentioned, I just really wanted an update on the requests. I'm aware of the "one band per thread rule". If I see an artist underrepresented in the future, yeah one per is fine. But again, it was just an update request.
Rush is very interesting in that you will get so many differing options. I've seen some outrageous statements about different Rush output, so maybe it's time to resurrect the debate (did we do a thread once)? There's so much Rush on AM, so having one of my favorites excluded doesn't bother me.
Thanks, Jim for the quick reply - all my questions were answered. And good to hear from Bob again!
