Some of my parents records that I liked:

-Herb Alpert - Whipped Cream (I can't tell you how many hours I stared at that album cover)
-Nat King Cole
-John Denver
-Kenny Rogers
-Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water - I practically memorized every word to every song on that album, because it had the lyrics on the back
-LOTS of traditional Irish music records. My dad's parents were both from Ireland. The Irish Rovers were one of his favorites.
-Dean Martin

Ditto! Just replace Styx with Jethro Tull and Kansas with Motorhead, Maiden, and Priest. Prior to that it was my parent's records, Fats Domino, Beachboys, and Johnny Cash.

Did you ever have an extension cord for those big puffy cans? I had a 25-foot extension cord for my phones, so that I could wander all over my bedroom while I rocked out on "Glass Houses", my very first vinyl record. Followed by:

2. Styx - Paradise Theatre
3. AC/DC - Back In Black
4. Styx - Grand Illusion
5. Rush - Moving Pictures
6. Pink Floyd - The Wall
7. Van Halen - I
8. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
9. Pink Floyd - Meddle
10. Kansas - Leftoverture
11. Pink Floyd -Wish You Were Here
12. Rush - Permanent Waves

And the rest are kind of blur after that, but those were my first 12 disciples. I'll always remember.

You may be right, I may be crazy.

Nor did I fall asleep every night wearing big puffy headphones with the curly cord listening to an 8-track copy of Songs From the Attic that I bought at Bradlees with my lawn-mowing money. If you ever hear this rumor it is a complete fabrication.

Someone should let him know there are new cameras that are capable of recording moving pictures.

As a fellow sifter of the moving pictures. I feel it is encumbent upon me to reflect that: I at one time was also a crocodile. And IMO, what that jaguar did would have been totally ineffective in a real street fight!

The moving pictures. He thinks they be gifs. I think too.

I found part 8 of this, not posting it though. Hope you guys don't either. You're welcome.

5 or 10 years ago Sky News was a pretty classy news channel. Now its kind of "The Sun" (a Murdoch tabloid) with moving pictures.

Awesome, it's been a blast posting here on the sift, about two years ago I came to the simple conclusion that watching video on the Internet was a better way to waste my downtime then watching TV. I still enjoy numbing my brain with moving pictures, but I also like the option to play around with the media and share videos that my blog viewers will enjoy. It's brought me far including three paying jobs ( Submitting videos to Netscape, blogging for Newsbloggers, and now doing internet research for Mahalo.) Literally all this by just "sifting" videos out of the major embed sites. The sift features the best video researchers on the net, as far as I'm concerned, our breed is in demand by the "guys with money", but I certainly enjoy the down to earth atmosphere we have here and I most of all I want to help bring traffic here for Brian... Which reminds me, thanks to Brian, James and all the accepting sifters for helping me out when TayTV crashed.

old_spider...roll the bones was quite a while ago. You should pick up or rent their DVD "Rush in Rio" which came out in 2003 and you'll see them at the top of their game! It's quite something to see.

Also, back to this video, this was filmed at the same time they were actually recording the album "Moving Pictures"...so you're basically seeing them making this song in the famous recording studio "Le Studio" in Quebec. Learn more about Le Studio at Wikipedia.
