O.k. folks - which blank CD's do you recommend for burning high quality
Music? I just finished the last of my Memorex CD-R and thought before I
buy more, I check with you on what's better. Memorex has been fine, but
maybe there is something better?

Thanks!

After the dust settled, the clear ones appear to have the best archival

You might want to check into the web site, digitalfaq.com. I'ts actually more about video and DVD's, but does have an interesting DVD media faq section.
They list the rankings of the blank media and the actual manufacturer. Memorex as well as others can change vendors at any time. Note the blank media at the bottom, listed as land fill material only.

At one time, Mitsui and Taiyo Yuden were considered the best.

In my experience, the most stable CDRs use a phthalocyanine dye. I avoid
the cyanine types, which can be identified by their light blue color. At
one time there was some buzz about azo dyes, which were supposed to last
hundreds of years. I've never tried one.

I've seen the commercial for it on TV, and just the though of it

playing the "Cream of Clapton" CD is all the fix I need.

My favorite concert-type DVDs are these:
1. Anderson, Bruford Wakeman and Howe
"An Evening of Yes Music Plus"
2. The Doors
"The Doors Are Open"

Depeche Mode 'One Night in Paris'
Shane MacGowan 'If I Should Fall from Grace'
The Fall 'Touch Sensitive'
Philip Glass Koyaanisqatsi/Powaqqatsi
Michael Gondry 'The Work of Director...'
Bob Marley & Wailers 'Live at the Rainbow'
Britney Spears 'Greatest Hits'

That's quite an eclectic list. Bob Marley followed by Britney Spears.

It's a good thing these DVDs are so cheap, as compared to
laser discs which used to cost a small fortune. If you play it
twice, you'll have gotten your money's worth out of it.

They may be hard to find now. You gotta grab them when they
first hit the shelves, otherwise you might never see them again.

Two other music DVDs you ought to scoop up if you get the
chance are by Steely Dan: "Two Against Nature" and "Aja."
The sound is very good and the music is great on both of them.

Chosen based on quality of content rather than genre.

The Talking Heads DVD was a disappointment after the big build up. The
whole thing seemed contrived, sterile and boring. Yeah he wears a big

The last best thing they probably ever did was that funky little song titled
"Genius of Love" by Tom Tom Club.

I have watched quite a bit of it. Those guys can still make

make music and they watched the DVD with me. In fact
they put it on. They appreciate it. Ginger Baker did a
LONG drum solo that showed he definitely still has it.

If you like Ginger Baker's personality you should listen to "going back
home" the CD he has done with Charlie Haden and Bill Frisell.
Certainly not a jazz chef d'oeuvre but a very good relationship, very
friendly.
