Rock song building of the late 70s. That was the greatest time.

What folks sometimes miss about the "corporate rock" era is that it involved a lot of extraordinarily talented people.

I would say Heart belongs on that list, too.

ETA: Tom Petty and Peter Frampton as well

I can't imagine having to record on tape in that era. When you're paying outrageous amounts to even be there. I couldn't do it like the older guys did it, I require more takes than 2 or 3.

My whole basement would be garbage bags of clipped tape.

Modern recording methods have had to have made a mental impact on all musicians. It's a strange comfort in knowing you don't have to nail it by the 2nd attempt.

I used to burn through cassettes with my Tascam Portastudio 414 4-Track.

The outro guitar on Peace of Mind is the greatest ever. Encapsulates the late 70’s.

Stick to your cheesy 60’s unknowns Kafka. The adults are talking here.

Any love for Mountain? I just started listening to more of their stuff because I watched the Randy Rhoads documentary on Amazon and they talked about how Randy really liked Leslie West.
