I just bought the Orbison today because Costco had it for $25. The reviews of it at AMG were pretty good as a retrospective and I don't have any of his stuff so I decided to make the $25 investment. I can't wait to start listening...
2 - Glen Boyd
It's high time you discovered Orbison then Mr. Josh, being the Bruce fan and all around music guy that you are. I was fortunate enough to see Orbison shortly before he died and his voice just...well, you know, "does something" to you.

3 - Mark Saleski
i have no Roy Orbison. never liked him.
4 - Tom Johnson
I've never been an Orbison "fan" (not that I had a problem with him, but you know what I mean) but I still highly recommend Mystery Girl even to Saleski! If you don't fall in love with "California Blue," you are filled with nothing but crusty old scabs and earwigs inside.
5 - Donald Gibson
"A Love So Beautiful" off of Mystery Girl is devastatingly gorgeous.
6 - Glen Boyd
Orbison's voice is an amazing instrument, one of the most haunting yet beautiful I've ever heard -- I'm actually quite surprised that some of you haven't "gotten" him. I realize music is a subjective thing, but I mean what's there not to like?

I picked up the new Todd Rundgren album, Arena today, and it blew me away. It's energy packed rock and roll, powerful guitars, driving beats, fire you up! music and great vocals. Definately one of his best.
8 - Josh Hathaway
Not to pick, Iguana Glen, but I was in 8th grade when Orbison passed. Orbison wasn't 8th grade music. Well, he wasn't for me.
I've gotten to listen to a good bit of the first of the four discs on the set and I like it.
9 - Tom Johnson
Glen, there's simply not enough shredding in Orbison's stuff, that's the problem. Oh, and no drum solos.
10 - Josh Hathaway
And there are no melodies or actual songs on any of his records. ;)

Orbison, Creedence and Rundgren in one week. There really is hope for the world. Orbison had one of the most unique voices in history. Just check out any of his early Monument label albums.
