So, I've listened to them all a couple of times since posting this. @Chiliwailer - you were quite right, Blood Sugar Sex Magik all the way for me. I was going to re-iterate what I said on the FB post which was 'by a country mile', but I'd like to amend that. Badmotorfinger is actually a cracking album, but like you, I don't really care much for the production. Perhaps a better way to put it would be that it doesn't hold up very well against Rick Rubin's effort. I have nothing against Nevermind, there are some great tunes on it, but it doesn't feel (to me) like one cohesive unit the way BSSM does. I was once again reminded why I don't listen past Track #11 due to the drone of Something In The Way followed by that ridiculous ten minute silence and then the cacophony of Endless/Nameless. I very much enjoyed listening to Badmotorfinger again and if the production was just that little bit better, it would be right on the tail of BSSM IMHO. For me, Red Hot Chili Peppers just got better and better by the album. When Slovak died, I thought they were done; then Mother's Milk came out. I didn't think they would make anything better. I must have played MM hundreds of times in the couple of years after it came out and I still love it. Much to my surprise and enjoyment the 2003 remastered edition contained extended versions of two of my favourite tracks from that album, Sexy Mexican Maid and Knock Me Down. Nirvana indeed. I bought BSSM the week it came out and loved it. Subsequent playings have not diminished my opinion on the album, whereas as Nevermind, also bought the same week, now just feels a bit 'meh'. Let us not forget that the BSSM recording sessions also gave us 'Sikamikanico' (which sounds more like MM era RHCP to me) as well as the mighty 'Soul to Squeeze'. Right, I'm off to watch Funky Monks again 😀

😂

but but....I only added that to appease him, so I kind of opened the door on that one 😀

What are you talking about? The best of 1991 was not the point of this thread. Which of those three specific albums do you prefer (and why) was what was asked.

Nobody said they were.

I'm in the process of listening to all three again (not at the same time obvs 😀) and will reveal later.

Oh, go on then 😏

That happened three years ago and look where that got us 😂

You want me to add a ‘none of the above’ option to a poll asking which is your favourite out of these three albums?

The question got lost in me deciding to add the poll 🙄 All subjective I suppose, but the question was ‘what’s your favourite?’. (now edited)

What’s your favourite and why? I'm not going to vote as it will make it a bit obvious.

Most of mine do start life on paper, but as you’ve evidenced, a lot of songs multiplied by a few bands and it easily gets out of hand. I don’t play with some of the bands I dep for regularly enough to remember even half of it, so there has to be an accessible version readily to hand. Songs stretching to two or more pages just complicates things.

The limitations of them when both of your hands are busy.

Well, I charged it last night and hooked it up to my iPad this morning. Connection took seconds and it works like a dream. As previously mentioned in the thread, you can configure what the buttons do very easily. It comes set as turn page left and right with the two switches. The page flip is almost instant. Not only that, but paging right scrolls down if it’s more than can fit on the screen at the start and a further click right then moves over to the next song when it reaches the end of the tune. The left button undoes whatever you’ve done with the right. This is using On Song by the way. I’m not sure what other programs do. Very impressed by the build. Looks bomb proof and is very dinky. Much smaller than I expected, but functionality is not compromised by it.

Yes, Anderson’s did that to me with my Line 6 Relay G75. The box was astonishingly large. I’ve just checked the other much larger box that arrived with the B200S-2 and it’s the wrong product entirely. Someone was having a bad day at Thomann HQ last week I reckon.

I’ve had this happen to me before with Thomann, so I wasn’t overly surprised, but WTF are they thinking? 😂

Thanks @TrevorR - order going in tonight 👍

@TrevorR - yes, that works a treat. I’ve just scanned a multi page PDF and imported it to OnSong and it’s all there in one file. Quick question and I’ll stop pestering you 😀. So now it’s in OnSong, the pages are stacked on top of each other instead of scrolling left to right, which is fine. If I get the BT200 and turn the page with that, I assume it instantly goes down to the next whole page or does it scroll down for as long as you have your foot on the switch? I’m hoping it’s the former cos I’m going to want the next bar in front of me fairly pronto.

I think I’ve found where I was going wrong. There is a toggle switch in the scanning app for choosing either JPG or PDF. It was set to JPG which is limited to one page. PDF obviously allows multiples. Thanks @TrevorR 👍
