I like it when Pete says "alright."

My favourite things nowadays is watching one of your top 10 songs or ranking the albums videos and check all the songs you mention and praise (that I'm not familiar with) afterwards from Spotify. Found a huuuge amount of killer tunes and deep album cuts, thanks to you. Keep up the good work and thanks for great content!

You're doing a great job Pete, keep up the great content 👍

I'm one of the ones that asked Pete about why he doesn't cover punk bands like The Ramones and The Clash. I'm a punk fan and former bass guitar player for a punk band called The Shitbirds. Look on KZfaq. 👍 That being said.. I love classic rock! And Pete really covers classic rock . And he covers that topic VERY well! Look at him wearing a Foghat shirt! 😀👍 Love me some Foghat! Yes I own music from them! So let's take a "Slow Ride" and enjoy Pete's videos here! He's turned me on to many cool bands with his videos! Rock On Pete! 👍😀

Pete, your vids are perfect as they are, enjoy them immensely. People need to do a little bit of work if they want more info. We live in the age of the internet, it's not that hard.

I'm one of those new subscribers from about 2 weeks ago. Absolutely love your show Pete. I really like Progressive Rock and just Rock in general. I'm 72 years old, so it's a long time love affair. Keep up the great work.

Pete I have a few questions for you: 1. Can you show your stereo you play your music on? 😜😬 2. How many CD's do you have? 😂 Just kidding. Thanks Pete. I will say the more people the more problems usually and less intimate. I can see it already but that's the way it is. You do a great job. Been a subscriber for well over a year. Great stuff always.

The downside of popularity is that you inevitably attract a lot of casual viewers who aren't on the same page as your hardcore base and sometimes are just pure trolls. The only way to deal with them is to simply not acknowledge their existence . Totally 100% ignore them. Period. I've seen other content creators get consumed with their critics and haters and it just leads to an overall unpleasant and negative atmosphere on the channel. Remember that they are a tiny minority and most of your subscribers are very grateful for the work you put in and they should always be the focus.

You’re superb at this Pete, been a subscriber for best part of a year and I don’t think I could listen to any other KZfaqr (don’t mean that term disparagingly as you’ve obviously got a life outside of YT) for the 30-45 minutes that I do with your uploads. You are a natural communicator with an extensive knowledge base which is a rare thing to find on this platform. Quick apology as I realise I am one of those people who asked you to do another bands worst to best on the Deep Purple upload. I think we are all quite anxious to hear your take on our own favourite bands, so in a way it’s a compliment, but I understand where you are coming from and not to take things off topic considering the effort you’re putting in. Perhaps you could do one of those very quick written posts just briefly outlining what’s coming up? Might help but I dunno could just be creating extra work for you! Keep it up though Pete you’re doing great and thanks

Spending the day sick in bed binge watching your stuff. Could watch you talk about music all day!

I still get pissed when I see thumbs down on your videos, your contact is top notch, I might not agree with all of your opinions, but I think thumbs down are uncalled for. That’s my rant

As always, rant justified. I've been listening to you for...I think 2-3 years now and do exactly as you just suggested. In fact, I have had a great time discovering music I never knew existed just by opening a new tab and giving a listen. Super job!

Good heaven's, people!! Just watch the videos and enjoy the content. Leave the guy alone, he isn't your personal entertainer...LOL

I love the top 10 albums and songs because they introduce me to bands/albums/songs I haven’t heard before (or haven’t really explored a ton)

You're one of the few KZfaq channels I'm subscribed too where the second I get a notification of a new video uploaded, I immediately drop what I'm doing, race to my computer, and watch the video. Keep doing a phenomenal job !

Would you be willing to showcase your guitars? I love that Les Paul in the background. Is it a goldtop? Love your channel, Pete. Have a good day :)

Pete just keep doing what you're doing. Its great listening to you about this music and you do it so well. Don't change a thing. Much respect for you. Thank you for getting me into new bands over the last 7 months.

I stumbled across your channel a week ago, and I think you do an outstanding job - but I happen to like the music you do. Your rankings of albums - I like at least half the artists that you have covered. I would never think of asking you to cover artist X next. I appreciate the fact that you did this rant video, and your frustration. You are a victim of your success. Keep doing exactly what you are doing - this channel is awesome.

This channel is one of my favorites. Keep up the great work!

You should do a top ten rock n roll movie list. Here's my top five...... 1. Spinal Tap 2. Song Remains The Same 3. School Of Rock 4. Fast Times At Richmond High 5. Magical Mystery Tour

Love the show Pete. Came across it accidentally but I view it regularly. Always something interesting. Thanks.

Nice one Pete, I see in you what I have with me, a passion for this great music. And as you know this music is not just for Christmas, it is for life. Keep up the good work on your great channel that is much appreciated by those who watch and listen. Rock On!

I appreciate all your reviews.🎤🎸🎵🥁

I became a subscriber in late-2018, after watching my 3rd or 4th video of yours. Love your channel, and will continue to be a proud subscriber and watch you. You don't owe us anything, Pete. Just keep doing what you do. 🤘🏻

Thanks Pete for being you and what you do for us. Love your channel. Keep it going! ;)

Pete, your content is beast, and you're one of my favourite youtubers. Ignore all the ignorant business going on in the comment sections, as the majority of us love what you do

I’m a couple months in. Love the channel. Deep Purple is my favorite band so I really relate. I also love a lot of the lesser known 70’s bands that you touch on. Captain Beyond, Be Bop Deluxe, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band (they were my first concert age fourteen love Alex). Keep it up 👍

Well said Pete. Keep up the great work and do whatever you enjoy doing...it is clearly working!

Pete, I just wanted to say thanks for all the great recommendations. People when Pete puts songs/albums in his top lists your best bet is to look them up individually on youtube. From him I have gone looking for songs and discovered many gems that I have never heard of before - Journeys 'Edge of the blade' 'Of a lifetime' all the deep cuts from 'Infinity', Whitesnakes 'Forevermore', all the great songs from the Foreigner debut album and many many more

...does this mean we're grounded for the weekend ? ... Pete , you're credibility is in your content...keep on pushin'...

Love being part of the SOT family! Love all this stuff and the content you put out!

I'm a new Lister / watcher for two months now . Way to go . Fantastic show love it. 49 years old grew up a hair band fan but you have kind of turned me a little . Very interesting just throwing it out there !

I enjoyed this video, also the Hudson Valley one where everyone talked about how they knew each other, and for how long. That shed a bit of light on a few folk for me. I'll post my other comment on the appropriate video as soon as i can find it. Keep it up, Pete. Good job.

GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND! It amazes me how many people are useless at finding things on the internet. Thanks for all you do! I've been a subscriber for a little over a year and love what you do. I'm not into all the genres that you are but that's ok. Maybe I don't watch a particular you've done then. It's like TV....if you don't like what you see, change the channel. I particularly like when you feature new music. I've checked out some new to me bands based on a recommendation from you. So keep this channel going! I really appreciate what you do and the dedication you have to a quality product. Ingore the haters and trolls. They're usually closed minded people anyway.

Thank you Pete for what you do. To do something just out of the love for the subject means it is pure and honest. Thank you for the time you take and the work you put in for OUR enjoyment and entertainment.

I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I’ve been binge watching the rants, reviews & the hudson valley squares videos. Great stuff! Will keep watching 🎶

I’m digging your channel and I like the way you express your opinions, even when I don’t agree. And you’re right, some people get way too worked up about differences in opinions about music.

Pete, I was pleased when you responded to a question about the band 'Hands', but realized that you can't always do that, so I've refrained from asking more questions. Well, except for one about Porcupine Tree. I love your channel, and the info gleaned from it. Keep up the great work.

So I guess no ‘Flock of Seagulls’ album rankings? 😂

I am a new subscriber - so glad to have intelligent commentary on the music genres I love most by someone who knows a hell of a lot more about them than I do. Your Top Progressive Rock and Top Jazz Fusion albums of the 70s videos turned me on to a lot of bands/albums I wasn't familiar with. I have a lot of listening ahead of me. Thanks!

Pete, I love listening to your channel because you have an ASMR quality! Very relaxing!

Happy for your success, love your show Pete.

Recently, stumbled on your channel. Love your insights. You are more heavy rock/metal oriented than I am. But, I love all music. I also love the classic rock and more of the acoustic singer/songwriter stuff like Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Dylan, John Prine, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne that may not be your top genre. I also love lots of the progressive rock and heavy stuff like Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. I can tell you love music and its an important part of your life. Same for me. Keep up the good work. You have gotten me to check out certain music I otherwise would have forgotten about or dismissed. I am always open to bringing new music into my life.

Pete, you are doing a great job! Thank You

Much respect! I appreciate your taste in music. You have widen my interest in some popular bands like Chicago and turned me on to King Crimson. Thanks!

It's your show, your channel. Do what you want. Simply as that. Nobody is being forced to watch. I enjoy what you do. Keep up the great work!

Great channel, I tune in frequently!

Started watching Pete's videos a few weeks ago. Already I've started listening to a band he mentioned and I'm interested in several more. Looking for their music on KZfaq was all I did to see if I was interested in their music or not.

I just wanted to say I love your channel & I think your doing a great job. I love the album ranking & top 10 songs & hope to see the albums of my favourite bands. We are all allowed to have different opinions. For instance if you do a ranking of albums by a band I don't like I don't watch it. Keep up the great work Pete.

Keep doing your thing Pete. I enjoy your videos and though I don't always agree that's part of the reason I watch. You've exposed me to some artists and albums I ignored for some reason but now I enjoy alot. Thanks

Great show great content, thanks for the time Pete, firing up the memory receptors. 👍

Pete every word that you say in this video is 100% true :) ... Regards from Croatia ;)

Thank you for bringing undiscovered music to my ears. Between your reviews and your ranking videos I have found so much new and classic music to enjoy. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Your videos have helped me through a very hard year. Thank you thank you for providing us with consistently entertaining material. Your passion for music makes you so interesting to listen to. Keep up the great work Pete!

I just did a CD/Vinyl LP inventory and it’s just north of 500. No way that I’ll ever catch up to Pete. I will say that if you stay with this channel and pay attention to the long time viewers you’ll accomplish two things. One, you’ll make better decisions as to what you buy and two, you’ll need a second job to fund your new music purchasing. Keep up the great content. Thanks!

I discovered your shows on KZfaq absolutely by accident, and right away I became your fan. As much as possible I’m trying to watch a good part of your reviews. I really dig prog-symphonic rock for over than 40 years, and that's a great oportunity to exchange experiences and, why not, improve my english (I'm from Brazil). Long live prog-symphonic rock!

Pete I’ve found out so much excellent hard rock music just by listening to you n going to KZfaq, thx for all you’re work

New subscriber from a casual viewer. Couldnt agree more on your way of handling your channel. Its good to hear different points of views especially on music that i dont necessarily listen to. Sometimes SOT brings up points that I may have missed. I appreciate that. :)

Agreed. When talking about music and ranking bands, songs, albums, etc., it's meant to be fun and to engage in civil discussion. I like connecting with people through the internet but some places are real snake pits. Thanks for providing this forum.

Worlds of respect for you good sir and what you do. I'm a fairly new viewer over the last 3 months and I love your channel. As a child of the 60's, you are talking about the musical world i live in. I also have seen a good number of these bands live over the 70's, 80's and 90's and up and i love your reviews. A lot of times your videos make me revisit stuff i haven't heard in years. Kudos to you sir!! Keep up the good work!!

Subscribed and been watching for a month now and it took me a little time but I figured it out now I just KZfaq SOT and the group and see if you made a show of it. Keep up the great work.

Been loving your videos and channel! You've opened me up to so many amazing acts. I always make sure to have a pen and paper during your vids so I can check out a band or album after, usually just youtube it and if I like it, will see how I can go about getting the album. STILL so thankful for finding out about Budgie, Warhorse, and a bigger appreciation of groups like Renaissance.

It was in December or January that I first visited this channel. Sort of by accident. All it took was a couple videos to realize I had found a kindred spirit with his love of old school metal. I admit I am guilty of not listening to the newer stuff by legacy bands but perhaps that will change over time. It's just hard to beat the classics.

Hi Pete, I have subscribed to your channel months ago and I enjoy watching your videos and really enjoy it, Learning a lot about bands. thank you.

We are roughly the same age and you talk about my interests and have turned me on to some bands I've never heard of also reminded me of some forgotten music.thanks pete

Very fair comments Pete. Your channel is great and the diversity of material covered is excellent. The great thing is that most people appreciate your insights and the insights of your excellent range of contributors. I really enjoy the fact the you are into metal, hard rock, fusion and horror films - all areas that I have had a long-time interest in. I have even discovered a renewed (if still tentative interest in progressive rock). I have also discovered so many great bands and albums by watching SoT. Great stuff.

I've learned about so many bands that I would've never known about were it not for Pete here! Budgie, Wishbone Ash, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, Gary Moore, Bloodrock, Sir Lord Baltimore, Moxy, Baker Gurvitz Army, Legs Diamond, Captain Beyond, Atomic Rooster, Max Webster, Detective, Toad, Gillan, Three Man Army, Groundhogs, Bang, Tempest, High Tide, Fuzzy Duck! So many bands that I'm so glad I have heard of because of Pete's videos! Pete you have influenced my music taste so much I cannot thank you enough! If anyone reading this doesn't know about some of these bands you have to check them out! Keep doing what you're doing Pete I love your videos so much!

As a relatively new viewer, I was over the moon to find a channel like this. Keep doing what you’re doing, and screw anyone who can’t be friendly and respectful. As far as viewers threatening to stop watching because of the comments...wouldn’t the simpler solution be to keep watching the videos and stop reading the comments?

Yup, subscribed. Thanks to your recommendations was able to enjoy music I have never paid attention to, and that's awesome.

Excellent rant! It doesn't get any better than this, folks... all right? My only gripe is that every time I watch a Sea Of Tranquility video I almost always end up spending money because I get reminded I am missing something in my collection. I dig the answer to what you listen on. I used to have the big expensive stereo system but nowadays all I have is a mint 1959 stereo console I bought for $65 at an antique store. I didn't even care if it worked I just liked the way it looked. When I found out it worked I hooked up my CD player (now also my docking station) because it sounds 20x better than any digital system. I even use it when I want to fiddle around on my bass. I come here for the fun. It's cool to see what others taste in music is. There is no such a thing as a bad list, even if it has Cher's 'Greatest Hits' on it (okay I will deny ever saying that after this). It's cool that you love a lot of the same music I dig but it's just different enough to make it interesting. Keep it going, man!

My favorite Albums Ranked videos are the ones where our lists are totally different! Our Kansas lists only had two differences and it was kinda... not as fun. I like the ones where my top are in your lower half. It makes me re-visit the ones I don't rank higher and sometimes changes my own lists. Keep on doing exactly what you do, Pete. I love your videos. Thanks for all you do for us.

pete, just to let you know your channel is superb. I first came to your site when I came across you unboxing the Hendrix box set songs for groovy children, and I have not stopped since. I love your ranking the albums and reviewing albums. your passion for music is very infectious. Thank you for all your hard work. The deep purple live albums reviews was very welcome as I have been looking to get some more live purple for some time. look forward to what you have in store during 2020.

I'm one of your newer subs, love what you do here man

I’m fairly new to the channel so I’m not that deep in the well of videos but I’ve enjoyed every one of them and always look forward to the next. Has there ever been a video on your guitar collection? Cheers,Pete!

Also love you content you've turned me on to a lot of bands some I have some I haven't like just enjoy your opinion and knowledge of rock thanks and keep up the good work

Pete, you are a good dude. When it comes to music, your channel is top-notch. I respect your opinion because your knowledge of and live of music is obvious. Keep it going, bro.

Absolutely love this channel. I’ve learned lots from these videos Keep them coming

I really like your videos, and I have discovered a lot of new great music! I think you're doing a great job!

Hello Pete. I’m a new subscriber and really enjoy your extensive knowledge and opinion about the various prog rock, classic rock and metal bands that are out there. I noticed some guitars hanging in the background of your videos and wondered if you play guitar or any other musical instrument? If so, have you ever played in a band?

Hi Pete. In all honesty. I'm not really a fan of heavy metal or prog-rock, but I love your channel and watch your videos regularly. Your knowledge in those areas is very impressive. I've learned a lot. Keep doing whatever you want to to do. Unfortunately, we live in very weird times. 'Aggro' levels are high and tolerance levels are low.

Hey Pete I’ve been watching your channel for about a month or so now and I really like your show keep up the work!

Personally I love your Channel. We are around the same age and like the same music. You're doing a great job man keep it up!

Really enjoy your channel, sir. Yes I am a January convert and subscriber and as you said, I love just listening to talk of metal, prog and classic / hard rock.. So kudos. And how can opinions offend? That baffles me.. So keep up the great work.. In fact it amazes me HOW MUCH you do! This has been a godsend to me.. I wish I had found it earlier as I have been off work with heart failure ( no violins needed!! Leave that to Kansas) 😁 and this is exactly the kind of thing I love but I will be a regular viewer from now on and I know a few friends to recommend it to. So greetings from the Midlands in England ( birthplace of Metal) and horns up \m/ Aaaaaand GO SEAHAWKS!! 🤘 Oh. OK. Wrong Superbowl 🙄. But We will be back.. Mwahahaha

Congrats on 20K subscribers, Pete!

I dig your channel Pete. We are from the same planet. Thanks for the work you put into your channel. Really enjoy it.

Hi, I found your page not long ago and enjoy it. I will readily admit that these types of bands aren't generally my favorite bands and many others I'm not as familiar about but am learning things I never did before. I am a fan of Punk/New Wave bands and that's my favorite types of music but I know a lot about those bands, and not as much about bands you mention. I completely understand sticking to music you prefer and like the most, it gets boring when people have to talk about things they aren't as into. Ironically, Styx is from my area and growing up it was common to see a band member in the store or out and about and briefly attended school with one of their kids. Finally, I agree about Big and Whitney Houston not being Rock but disagree with Duran Duran. I say that because they play instruments and many of their songs are guitar based. I understand why many think they aren't rock.

Great vid! Love this rant!! Amazing to see the growth of the channel since this vid was posted. Keep it going Pete

Do you realize that you're funny? You really have a good sense of humor. This is a cute show that you're doing for all the new people. I had no idea people were bombarding you with all these questions. Thanks for doing this. it's great

Hi Pete. I can't say I always agree with you (re: Death, Megadeth...) but really enjoy your content! Please keep up the great work! I've discovered some great albums from your videos and avoided some clunkers thankfully! Thanks!

Fantastic reasoning from a fantastic guy. Pete. I appreciate who you are. Your channel is a beast. You are at 60K right now. (2021). Definitely no slouch. ;)

I wont ever argue the best albms.. i might tell how i feel differently, but thats what makes it all the more interesting.. now my DAD on the other hand.. oooh boy.. he be the argueman of da WORLD.. i LOVE to hear different interpretations.. besides, if ya put your Rush favs, which ive seen, and it was same as mine, i wouldnt need to watch anyway.. i love the channel by the way!

Come to Greece. You're invited. Great job, manners, everything in order. Keep up

You go Pete, I have learned much by watching your videos.

New subscriber here and guilty as charged on the t shirts annoying questions..Love the channel.Thanks!

Currently watching your post...I concur with a lot of what you are saying. Trying to reach out and tell certain people and getting them to understand can be DAUNTING. LOL...keep on keeping on Brother...Those of us out here who have been around the block a few times know what you speak of...Rock On!

Love your show! New subscriber here, just found your channel couple weeks ago. Good taste 👌

Just found your channel. Thank you for introducing me to Brandy (You're a fine girl). Heard you talked about it in one of your videos and I decided to hear it. Great song. I knew it before but had never paid attention to it. Now I hear it constantly. Also found a great version by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Hope to find more gold in your videos. Greetings from Denmark.

Well said, thanks Pete !

Straight to the point and it's a good thing what you said you know you get tired of question

Hi Pete I am one of the new guys from the past month or so, its great
