Oh let's just post the damn thing!
Geez, that really is an atrocious video. White people awkwardly moving around in front of a white screen...was the budget more than $50? And how many times does a male lead singer have to pretty much throw out jazz hands (WHILE WEARING GLOVES) before he's beaten to death with his own mic stand?

easily the best singing ever:

ROFL. I love the little kid in the ball pit. "What the...where did these adults come from? Piss off, I'm trying to play here!"
personally, I liked the random mortar they fire off in the middle of the video. I want to know who the hell approved a random live mortar shot for the purpose of a goofy video
something different. I'm not a fan of most hip-hop, but this was last week's freebie on iTunes, and I rather quite dig it
note there's a clean version out there, but this one includes the f-bombs
While the piece itself is obviously not native to the film, it's definitely one of my favorite movie soundtracks ever. (Incidentally,
Master & Commander is thus far my favorite historical-based film of all time -- which isn't surprising, considering the source material.)

There are actually a ton of European bands that fit that niche : orchestral bits, operatic choruses, power chords, strong female vocalist who also happens to be smoking hot. Nightwish, Epica, ReVamp, After Forever, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation, Valora, etc. They each offer a bit of a tweak to the model, but they all have work from that same base band structure.

Quote from: TheCommandTent on April 18, 2013, 05:36:45 PMYou want shredding how about this....
that honestly comes across almost as a Spinal Tap-ish parody considering how ridiculously and unnecessarily fast the band is playing underneath the lyrics. It's almost as if they got together and said "how fast can we play, just to see if we can all do it". It really has no purpose for furthering the song, other than to show how fast they can play.
I prefer this kind of shredding - which fits the song so much better.
(the song is a Thin Lizzy cover by an all-girl band, that - unlike Vixen - can actually play)

They were one of many bands I learned of thanks to the soundtrack for the show Rescue Me (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381798/). In fact, a series of posts may be in order covering some of the others...
And that's probably the first time I've listened to Crash Test Dummies in at least 5 years. That's a good song, too.
Okay, more Rescue Me stuff.
That's the TS song from the show. They're one of those bands that are really good, but that don't really have standout singles. But that'll do.
The Von Bondies recorded the opening theme music, but I'll put something else here. Kind of a sloppy mess of a band, but it works.
And I'll close it off with a massive style shift to Griffin House. This song burrows it's way in to my brain and refuses to leave for days at a time. Also personally memorable since I once got some girl's phone number after doing this at karaoke one time. So it has that going for it. ;D

Keith Richards has said on numerous occasions that he prefers that version.
Sorry AB. When it comes to the 'Stones, just about any rendition of one of their songs -- even when sung/performed by someone else -- is still fruit from the poisoned tree. :-\

Nope that came out in '87.
Closer to 8
Definately in the 8 range.
I had just been able to legally drink beer when Jessie's Girl first popped up on (then brand spanking new) MTV.
Heh. Nice.
When I was young and broke in the early 80's I drank Piels or Carling Black Label. If I scored some overtime I'd buy Rolling Rock. Then, one day I was introduced to English ale. John Courage I think it was, or maybe Bass. There was no going back after that.

if there ever was a letigimate man crush it is not Prince Harry, it is Josh Homme:
God, just realized I hadn't listened to this one in ages:
Something a little fast :
And something a little goddamn crazy :
this one always feels like the band is on edge, and about 1 measure away from just completely falling apart into improvising 3 different songs. I like this much better than Traffic's original or Joe Cocker's remake, or any of the other dozen or so versions out there.
Excellent tune-age, gentlemen. 8)

The Loveless
http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/loveless-tale/
Indeed, no videos for 'Sex,drugs,&Rock&roll' anywhere on line but here is a video for 'Return of the Ex-girlfriend':
The Loveless had 1 self-produced album that's a great f'n' album.
They started out as Candy out in LA in the mid-80s, with Gilby Clarke on guitar (yes, that Gilby Clarke and after Kyle Vincent left the band, Gilby took over vocals. He left to go play w/ Kill For Thrills, and the rest of them moved to New York and grabbed Ryan Roxie and Shane and became the Electric Angels. One legit and one bootleg album later - both awesome early-90s glam with incredible songwriting - Ryan left to go play with some other folks. The remaining 3 'borrowed' the guitarist from Jet Set Six and recorded A Tale of Gin and Salvation and there's about 8 great songs on it.
They'll never blow you away musically, but the songwriting is solid and clever and has some great phrasing. They play with some great conviction and put everything they had into their music.
The best stuff to track down:
Candy's debut album
- American Kix
- Turn it up Loud
- Last Picture Show
- Whatever Happened to Fun
Candy's Teenage Neon Jungle
- Weekend Boy
- First Time
- Kids in the City
- Electric Nights
Electric Angels' debut album
- I Believe
- Dangerous Drug
- Last Girl on Earth
- Home Sweet Homicide
- Whiplash <--- one of my top 10 or so all-time favorite tunes
- The Drinking Song
Electric Angels' New York Times (bootleg only, completely recorded but never released)
- Colour of Hate
- Def Generation <--- fantastic lyrics
- New York City Girl
- Hung Up On A Pinup Girl
- Cheap Lipstick
The Loveless' Tale of Gin and Salvation
- If I Only Knew Then
- The Return of the Ex-Girlfriend
- Lies My Father Told Me <--- more fantastic lyrics
- Postcards From My Heart
- Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll Are Dead <--- see above
You track down those 5 albums, and you can see the evolution of a bunch of kids from teenage power pop through glam hard rock to a solid concept album that shows a lot of maturity as songwriters and a great groove throughout.
Just started exploring this group, but I really like this song: Wintercoast from Touchstone. Stick with it, it changes it character a few times:
put three of the best shredders together and you melodic hard rock. Go figure
plenty of 90mph riffs, with a chorus you can hum along with... and who knew Ritchie Kotzen could sing?!
and as much as I loved the debut album from these guys... I really could've done without the cheesy video
Apparently I'm into angry rock at the moment:

Interesting sound. Kotzen's voice reminds me a lot of Chris Cornell's.

True story.
My mind was made up about New Orleans years ago when I saw on the news during Hurricane Katrina people hanging on to roof tops for dear life, all while a large number of people from a certain ethnic group stormed a closed Wal-Mart stealing big flat screen TV's. Priorities...

Or..... some decent music.
I've been on a serious Ozzy kick this week, slowly working through his solo catalog. This is one from the surprisingly good 2010 album Scream.
I always think of this version when I hear that song (I was a big fan of the show):
you really need to stop talking to yourself while people are talking to you.
Sorry, force of habit. ;D :-[

he's not used to anyone but Toonces being up when needs someone to talk to, and that might as well be talking to himself ;)
Was he talking to himself?
do you talk when making autolove?
maybe thats his foreplay to get in the mood?
Yes, that's Rick James & Neil Young in the same band...
An excellent choice, sir!
What I was listening to earlier this afternoon:
^ I always liked that song. Come to think of it I have a Chevelle CD lying around here somewhere
A little rockin' on Friday night is in order...
And
Time for a curveball! A bit of this one was in Blackhawk Down, which is where I first heard it.
And in another completely different direction, the most well known part of the Last of the Mohicans score. I warn you that if you listen to this it will be stuck in your head for weeks.
Not bad! That Last of the Mohicans piece almost has a Celtic sound to it.
Quote from: Martok on August 23, 2013, 11:33:38 PM
Not bad! That Last of the Mohicans piece almost has a Celtic sound to it.
It should! The piece is adapted from Scottish songwrighter Dougie MacLean's song "the Gael". As in the Gaels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaels).
Here's one of my favorite versions, posted a few times before:
When I think of BlackHawk Down, this is the one I'm thinking of
Here's the Chancellor, Head Football Coach, and current most famous student at NC State this past weekend, jamming on the unofficial school anthem
some good ol' protest rock
I win tonight boys... nothing is cooler than this one....
yup
I have to admit, I have always found this moving
A: bagpipes make anything martial moving
B: its frikin Spock thats dead
thats what makes the scene.
You do marital stuff to bagpipes????? ???
granted Im the last person who gives a shit about spelling nad whatnot, but really?

And now for something completely different.....

^ Epic.
For something a little different:
sorry to hear that Martok... as a stalwart grog I can only wish you good hunting
You finally picked a song and group that I know and enjoy BC. Of course this was picked up vicariously via my 25 y.o. son.
Ha, well, I'm not a huge Jane's Addiction fan. I really like the series Entourage, though. I saw them open for someone once, can't even remember whom now, but I do remember it being a good show.
I recently saw Pat Benetar at the Boston House of Blues. She put on a great show and even after all these years, she's still got it. So in honor of that performance here you go...
P.S. You're a true groghead if you can pick out the various things that are wrong with this video. ;)

you mean, besides the female "fighter pilot" trying to sing into a ground-radio mike while flying open cockpit with no hands on the controls?
perhaps the best song of the 80's.
"It ain't Coca cola- it's rice..."
I spent many hours listening to Combat Rock. Sean Flynn is another great but forgotten track from that album.
BTW, I have a vague recollection of meeting Joe Strummer at Toad's Place back in the late 80's. He seemed pretty laid back.
Actually, it could have been some club in Manhattan. Those times are a bit foggy now...
A friend of mine was in London the other day and posted a pic on FB of herself with Mick Jones.
This maybe the best song ever while muted!
The full screen option is also recommended.
A given.

And since
Banzai got me thinking about George Clinton, I've gotta post this one as well:
+1 Martok
Great piece, but how can you not post this one as well? :P
Don't have it on the playlist. I like the song but didn't like it in BG, don't quite know why.
+1 to Cat too,
BTW doesn't Bear compose music for the Walking Dead series too?
gawwwwd, from the more edgy to the commercial varieties of R&R.... nice

Just to catch up with a few posts back:
You had me until Asia, Cat. It is never, EVER time to listen to Asia.
We'll call this first one mirth's theme song. ;D
Aside from "Breakfast in America" (that one's always been like nails on a chalkboard to me :P ), there's been lots of good tunes the last page or so.
Right...right. You're bloody well right. You've got the bloody right to sayyyy...
Well I thought this one had already been posted, but I'm not seeing it now:
Best song ever, Martok!
Thanks! I'll admit I didn't used to be a big FF fan, but their music has really grown on me the last few years. (Also, I love the video's retro-early-80's look. 8) )

TOTALLY, COMPLETELY, UTTERLY NSFW. Also completely ridiculous. Oh, and tits. Many tits.
LOL! Most excellent.
I wish there was an official video for this tune...
of course the 'official video' for the first single on that album featured a very young Christina Applegate
Knowing me, I've probably posted this one before, but what the hell:
:o
Well that was interesting...
The Scorpion departs... .
This is a song that has haunted me since I first heard it over a quarter century ago. Phil Ochs' interpretation of what happened to the USS Scorpion is a disturbing mix of both
the Rime of the Ancient Mariner and
the Legend of the Flying Dutchman with a nuclear submarine as the doomed vessel.

he started a band in high school but during the time frame we were friends I never noticed any musical interest or talents. he has a fan page or something that I saw once and he credits his dad for getting him into music. I never saw that when I was around them. we played baseball together, we would play d&d, typical stuff 12-14 year old boys would do in the early 80's! parties, girls etc... not surprised he is a frontman because he had the looks and was outgoing but was surprised he was serious enough to make a career of it. last I heard he was still in the Cincinnati area and had his own band called noah hunt and the 420 all stars. not sure if he has a day job or makes a living just from music.
It's cover song time!
Adrenaline Mob and Lzzy Hale rock up Duran Duran :
And Lacuna Coil do Depeche Mode :
^ Love the Lacuna Coil cover!
Myself, I've been in a Pearl Jam mood today:
It's the long weekend bitches! Relax and enjoy life a little bit...
Continuing the cover song trend...
For those unfamiliar with Richard Cheese, he and his band (Lounge Against the Machine) do swing/lounge covers of other genres of music. They do everything from metal to country to rap. Here's their version of NIN's Closer.
NSFW language wise.
Ah yes, I've heard that one. Listening to it is quite a surreal experience.

Man, I haven't listened to RHH in ages; good stuff! I got to see them perform at First Avenue in Minneapolis many moons ago; they put on a hell of a show.
And now, time for an American classic:
I cannot believe you posted American Pie. Feeling like a chick today Martok? :P
Let's keep this Martok vibe going...
Bwuh?? Since when is "American Pie" chick music?! :o News to me.
In any case, it was not a fun night at work. I don't have alcohol in the house at the moment (and the liquor stores obviously aren't open yet when I go home), so comfort music was needed.
(If it helps, the first song I listened to when I got home was "Enter Sandman". ::) )
^^In that case, we gotta find something more suitable...
that works too. 8)
That's a pretty decent tune, Kenny. Thanks for putting it up.
As for myself, this is what I'm listening to right now:
Nice! I haven't listed to much In This Moment (aside from "Blood"), but I'm thinking perhaps I ought to rectify that.
Just finished listening to this one about 15 minutes ago:

I'm actually not a big fan of Blood, but a lot of their other stuff is really good and covers quite a bit of ground.
On a COMPLETELY different note...
Also on a totally different note:
I've always liked the Adama theme. It's probably my favorite piece from the BSG soundtrack.
this is probably the sweetest, deepest music i know about. if i wasn't such a badass i could just cry listening to it:
^ Heh. One can never listen to Beethoven quite the same way after having watched that movie.
While I felt
Man of Steel was merely "good", I absolutely love the movie's main theme:
I gotta pick up this record sometime soon

Yeah, yeah, I know. I chose the first one YouTube displayed. :P
Watched some of the Grammy's last night, and was blown away by the performance of a woman called "Lorde". As it turns out, she's only 17!!! The lyrics are those of a teenager, but the stage presence and performance (to me) are reminiscent of a younger Peter Gabriel/Kate Bush.

My step-daughter is 19 and only listens to music in her ear buds. My son is 10. He likes rock 'n roll (especially AC/DC) and Skylanders (video game). I had heard the song once before in the waiting room of my doctor's office, and I think that I've heard a bit of it on a Saturday morning commercial, being re-done by the Mini-Pops.

Star. I'm a little embarrassed to admit I'd never heard it before, but better late than never I suppose.
Was just listening to this an hour ago:
Of the latest Headstones album:
Very funny when you recognise the song.....
Revolting Cocks are right up there with the Crucifucks and a few others that don't come to mind. Stainless Steel Providers is one of the RC's best songs. :)
I'd never heard of the song "Down With The Sickness" until 2002. Went to the very first ever Houston Texans game and they played the intro to it over and over and over and over as they introduced the Texans players. Later when I looked up the song and heard what it was about ("I HATE YOU MOM YOU STUPID SADISTIC FUCKING WHOOORRRREEEEE"), I nearly died laughing.

not a half-bad song, but the video will totally give you some serious vertigo
Just play this version instead (good song, btw):
What I was listening to about half an hour ago:
I'm loving the techno, high nrg, trance, and even the Kongos. I'll have to check them out, thanks for introducing them to me.
Now here's something I stumbled upon recently that I can't stop watching.
^ Like! Thanks for sharing
W8taminute.
Have listened to this one several times now since yesterday (I'm a pretty big fan of FFDP):
Also been on a Seether kick lately:
Here's another for you. It's old but it's still good:
Just because some of you have no clue as to what the mid/late 80's were
really like:
I have vague memories of seeing this song live at the Ritz in NY City back in 88 or 89. The M'Bari haircut kid was there in some form or other as well as various cringe-worthy medical procedures projected on the screen behind the band.
The next week the Ritz had either Shriekback or the Lords of the New Church/Dead Boys. I don't recall now.

Rainbow's version is still the best, but the Curie twins are definitely better-looking.
someone's got his 80s goggles on... what's next Haircut 100? Wall of Voodoo?
and he picked some awful Adam Ant.
Should have saved this one for the weekend but ah, what the Hel...
OMFGG!! (OH MY F**KING GAGGING GAWD),
I am so sick to shit of your psuedo, hair-acid-goth-dark satanic-garage-southern-bullshit rock that has all the sophistication of a 19 y.o. pothead who thinks the Alan Parson Project is 'dah-bomb'.
I am truly sorry..... but most of you guys deserve this;
Whats with uou guys and the commercial crap.
.... I didn't have high hopes for that one star.... it was a great surprise.... going to look for it on itunes
Bauhaus, Tones on Tail, Dali's Car and Love & Rockets are all the same band from the same label.
I like songs.. not necessarily the band(s) that play them....
but that group has consistently put out good songs over a number of genres while still retaining its sound.
Bauhaus is the original Goth band. They created the entire Genre of 80's Goth, which is certainly not the Goth of modern popular culture.
I never knew Adam Ant was into the punk scene. I just thought he was a one hit wonder. You learn something new everyday.
Now for some Siouxsie Sioux because she just rocks!
And while I'm at it how about some The Damned!
Siouxsie and the Banshees you say?
Damn that brings back memories...
And then there was The Stranglers...

Stand and Deliver?
Kings of the Wild Frontier?
Strip?
Wonderful?
Viva Le Rock?
or are you just assuming Goody Two Shoes?
Nice selections Stagger. That one about Siouxies debut was particularly good. And now I know who sings Get a grip on yourself. I remember hearing that song back in the day but never did find out who sang it.
Bayo yeah I knew about Strip but not the others. I always thought of him as a one hit wonder wrt Goody Two Shoes.
post mid 90s goth sucks.
Late 80's Goth is to early 21st Century Goth as Industrial is to most Techno.
And some of that early goth actually rocked:
a good choice.
but again its got that commercial taint to it.
the genre can get pretty quick stepped.
it can also get full blown cut your wrists depressing.
but youve heard it in tons of shows and movies.
or it can give you that Conan under the mountain with a hot chick vibe.
Dead can Dance was (is?) a great band. Lisa Gerrard still shows up on 'Echoes' on a regular basis and she has done some amazing film score work.
I actually wore out my cd of 'Toward the Within'.
if you cant bed a woman with Dead Can Dance or This Mortal Coil you should just shoot yourself in the head and be done with it.
you have no idea how much this song has been remixed, cut, edited, sampled, covered and used.
i have at least a clue. ;) I may have even posted that video in the past. :D
There were some powerful versions of Alex Chilton stuff on This Mortal Coil's 'It'll end in Tears' as well. 'Kangaroo' stands out.
Let's shift gears here a bit as we are on our 80's retrospective:

You guys have excellent taste judging from the past page and a half of posts! Great stuff!
Dear gods it's going to take me forever to listen to all these songs and catch up
Danke W8. :D
College Radio stations and eclectic record stores were a Gods-send back in the 80s-90s. AFA I can tell from my area at least, both classes of entities are now either defunct or have been assimilated into the Bland Collective.
Makes me wonder how things would have been if the Internet was then what it is now.
I agree with you Stagger.
You're welcome Star! Your taste in music is as varied as mine is with similar interests.
Martok, tell me about it. There is a lot of good stuff here to listen and too little time to do it.

Another good piece on the Clash's 'Combat Rock' album is 'Sean Flynn', about Errol Flynn's son who was a reporter in Vietnam during the conflict. He went missing in Cambodia and has never been heard from since.
I don't come to this thread nearly enough. Anyway, check out this Irish guy, Hozier. Terrible name, great song...'Take Me to Church'.
Make fun of the movies if you wish -- I won't be offended (even I find the 2nd one to be horrible -- the 1st and 3rd ones remain guilty pleasures for me). ;) However, I love Steve Jablonsky's orchestral scores in these films, especially the first one.
Good one Windy! Haven't listened to that one in quite some time.
I dare you not to like this. Kongos, a literal band of brothers from South Africa. I saw this video for the first time an hour ago and immediately bought the album. I give you "I'm Only Joking"...
More unexpected cover song goodness...

Glen Frey
Henley, Walsh, Schmitt, and Felder all have solo tracks on the soundtrack
Hell, I didn't know that. I never owned the soundtrack...I might go give it a gander now.
With sincere apologies to all the Lynyrd Skynyrd fans here (which I strongly suspect is most of you), I like Shinedown's rendition even more than the original:
Summer is on track and on target.
and an awesome bitch slap to U2:
at least thats how I see it.

Married With Children's use of Glen Frey's You Belong to the City was the best.
Gus Trivia: my Mom grew up with Perry Farrell's family and she always refers to him as 'that nice Jewish kid in the band.'
I don't listen to a lot of electronic music. However, some friends introduced me to Covenant back in the day, and I've always liked their sound.
Good one Martok. The video that accompanies that song is good too. O0

I-95 here can really suck but late at night its fucking brilliant.

Definitely not .38 Special's best work, but I liked it just because I enjoyed the movie.
I even liked 'Back To Paradise,' goodness help me.
And finally, from the movie Rock Star...which was totally cheesy but brought back a lot of concert-going memories from the 80s...
One more, I lied. I really enjoy Tony MacAlpine's guitar and keyboard work.

One more from Toy Matinee. This one with Rosanna Arquette.
Hadn't heard this song before Guitar Hero and I LOVE PLAYING IT!! As a matter of fact, I am going to fire up my XBOX and pick up my (plastic) ax and WAIL!!!!!!
Good tune. But then, I've enjoyed a few of Smith's other songs too.
pretty damn good for what it is which is probably not for most of you. :2funny:
great music though.
That is the single worst video posted in quite sometime. Seriously. I'm not even fucking around right now. That's just horrible.
if your too old.....
I gotta go with Starfury on this one, Gramps.
Whatever only old men trying to fit in would ever think that is quality music sorry dudes.
the music itself is pretty damn good and shes one of the top vocalists thats currently singing. I'll give you that the guy can be hit or miss depending. do you even know who all the cameos on that video are? if youve got Flea, Aphex Twin and Marilyn Manson, among others, in your video its going to sell. in 2 months that will be one of the most remixed and played songs in club/danceland.

Ok. I'll agree. How about some of this...
Except for Matchbox 20 (the guy's voice is like nails on a chalkboard), some very decent tune-age, guys.
Am currently listening to Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba", which is something of a guilty pleasure for me.
Over 5,000,000 views?! Never heard of them.
Got there from here:
And here:
And just in case of Montreal doesn't sound familiar, watch this video. The video and the tune were used for a cell phone company ad.
I was in a Clash mood today. I'll let you all enjoy with me.
Good ones, although I'll admit I enjoy the Bobby Fuller version of the former more.
For tunes by Clash, "London Calling" is probably my favorite.
And while I enjoy this song, I almost like the video even more. Brilliant!
Good tuneage from Empire of the Sun. Never heard of them either but they're good! O0
Glad you liked it. I hadn't heard of them either. They were 'suggested' by YouTube after the of Montreal videos I was watching.
For some reason

I saw those cheese meisters FOUR TIMES!! And not once were they the band I went to see.
LOL
I could say the same about Queensryche myself...three times, not the headliner each time. ;D
Yeah. I'm not a Queensryche fan at all. I saw them open for KISS. Thoroughly not impressed.
The first time I saw Kiss live they had 2 opening bands. We missed Trixter (thank God) and were backstage while Faster Pussycat was onstage, so I didn't see either of their openers. Kiss themselves were pretty cool; it was general admission and we were right on the front-stage rail.
The second time I saw Kiss, they had Skid Row (sans Sebastian) and Ted Nugent opening. That was a pretty fun show. Skid Row wasn't bad, but not as good as previous times I'd seen them with Bas. Nugent was a blast. I'm not always a big fan of his politics, but his music was a lot of fun. Kiss was back in makeup on this tour, and they were a great show.

That's outSTANDing, Brant!! Had no idea you were a Van fan. That playlist is sweet. Although, I'm sad it wasn't Crazy Love. Moondance is one of my all time favorite albums and there's not a bad track on the album. Crazy Love is one of the highlights.

Check the liner notes for all the early CoC albums. The 'thank yous' include WKNC, which is the station I used to work at. We used to hang with them at other gigs on a regular basis. Their '92 Rock the Vote benefit at the Cat's Cradle is still the the best club show I've ever seen, hands down, and I've seen a LOT of club shows over the years (best arena show was The Cult in '91 in Greensboro, but that's another story).
Reed used to come by and guest on random shows, including ours, on a regular basis.
In '93, after the Blind tour wound up, there was a brief 'supergroup' called "Loose Cannon" with Woody & Karl & Phil, along with Jon McClain (from Picasso Trigger, and a fellow WKNC DJ) on drums and one of the guitarists from Overlord (forgot which one). They had some great tunes, and looked briefly like they were going to rival Drench as a local supergroup to get big-label attention, but then Woody got contractually pulled back into CoC, and they worked out some of the personality issues (I guess Karl & Pepper never really got along) and CoC kept chugging along.
Those guys were
everywhere when I was in college, and "Blind" remains one of the most under-rated metal albums of the 90s...

we'll trade band stories over beers sometime.
My QA guy here at work got drunk with Pantera here in town one weekend back in '98 (maybe?), and woke up in their van in Boston 2 days later. He was a roadie for the rest of the tour (about 5 weeks) until they got him home.
Evan Seinfeld and the rest of Biohazard came to the station for an interview one time, and they were the scariest, meanest-looking dude we'd ever had in there, and then they popped on the biggest smiles you ever saw, told us how glad they were to be there, and were an awesome interview.
Our chief engineer got Nico McBrain to wear a WKNC t-shirt on-stage durign their show in Charlotte, "from one drummer to another". No one noticed but the station crew that was at the show, but we all thought it as cool as hell.
The guys from Warrior Soul spent all night hitting on our station manager, even though 2 of them were married. The drummer (a Brit) was a tough accent for most of them to understand anyway, but when he was piss-drunk I had to translate for everyone else, because no one could muddle thru what he was saying.
those were some fun - if dead-broke poor - days back in school :)

and it's about the 46th best Triumph song, too.
I'd easily stack up Just a Game, Never Surrender, Magic Power, Stranger in a Strange Land, Little Boy Blues, Time Goes By, Mind Games, In the Night, Ordinary Man, When the Lights Go Down, If Only, Running In The Night, Suitcase Blues, Hard Road, or Fight The Good Fight ahead of it for sure. And that's just off the top of my head ;)
Anything to do with music, I generally exempt you from. Respect for the dj time you put in.

Triumph is the exception to any DJ rules I've got - I had the entire catalog before I was out of high school. And "Edge of Excess" doesn't count.
I've actually got a letter from Rik Emmett, where he replied to me when I sent him a letter back in '89.
I went to school with a kid who was a huge Triumph fan. My ex-wife loved 'Lay It On the Line.' She told me, repeatedly, that she used to play it for her (married) ex-boyfriend, trying to get him to commit to her.

I don't have a boatload of crazy exes, but, my ex-wife covers a lot of ground.

And this.........
Great tune! When much (very much) younger I had a cassette of ELP's best with that song on it. Back then it was perfect for long motor trips, along with Jethro Tull's entire 'Thick as a Brick' album and 'Terrapin Station' by some obscure band from SF whose name escapes me right now.
Rock on, Stagger! I knew bob liked fossil music like I do, but, I had no idea you did, too. Most excellent!
As with Grogheads, there are many layers to the Staggerwing Onion. :coolsmiley:
So how about an oldie but goodie :)
My favorite musician growing up. The folks had several 8 track tapes of the great Jim Croce.
Loved me some Jim Croce. Still know the words to a lot of tunes, and was teasing one of my former students with "Roller Derby Queen" (she was a member of the Carolina Rollergirls (http://www.carolinarollergirls.com), and her husband coaches the Raleigh Jr Rollers (http://www.raleighjuniorrollers.com), including the daughter of a good friend)
Gonna be playin' some spicy blues tonight, methinks..
Almost forgot this other live one:
I would be remiss for missing this, now that the box is open..
saw Primus 3 times in the mid-90s. Opening for Rush on Roll the Bones tour; solo at a local concert hall; 'headlining' Lollapalooza. They were awesome playing w/ Rush. They were absolute crap the other 2 times and I almost asked for my money back despite not even paying for either one.
They all sound bad live. Most more than the few.
Still gotta go with what you know..
Forgot this one..
Wasn't all that enamored when it came out, but it gets better with age like much of this old shit. The chorus is the sweet part.
I'm tryin to drink away the part of the day I cannot sleep away.
;)
My son went through a Modest Mouse phase. Heard this song repeatedly (amongst others).
Played some burned CD's on the way home from the GF's house tonight. I forgot how awesome my musical taste is ;)
And a modern day Janis. I swear if you close your eyes and listen, the spirit of Ms. Joplin just flows through her.
A little David Clayton Thomas and Blood, Sweat and Tears
This single, Make Me Smile and its B-Side, Colour My World were released in March 1970. If you have someone you love, play these back to back and she will know how good it is to be yours.
And now it's time for bed. Many is the night as a teen that I would put the head phones on, push Play on the cassette player and crank the volume whilst closing my eyes for sleep. I love this album! (Even if it's Phil and not Peter at the vocal helm.)
OK, MD. All good stuff. As per our conversation, here are a couple of stonkers for ya!
I've got a new passion - Dropkick Murphys. I had one of their songs on my running playlist last year but I didn't get into their music until just recently. This stuff is great for workouts.
Quote from: W8taminute on August 05, 2013, 08:25:46 PM
^Who sings that and what is the name of the song?
Sex & Drugs & Rock'n'Roll Are Dead is the last song.
Bob48 - That's a great call.
See My Way by Blodwyn Pig is superb.
Here's a great oldie - probably the only song in history to include the designation of a jet engine in the chorus (Junkers Jumo 004):
Yep. Also mentions R4M rockets.
"Goring's on the phone from Freiburg, says "Willi's done quite a job!"
The Secret Treaties album is the first record I ever bought, 1975 or 1976. When I saw the cover for the first time I was floored- Rock&Roll and WW2 Wunderwaffen combined! Not to be overly dramatic but I think that discovering that album let me know that it was ok to have deep interests outside the teenage mainstream (like WW2 aircraft) and still be a relevant individual. No doubt you RPG kids from ten years later will be able to relate.
A bit of synergy for you.
That song was on the jukebox in a bar near where I lived. I always queued up both that and 'All Quiet on the eastern Front' by the Ramones. The 80's were strange times...
I haven't seen Heavy Metal since the 80's. If the rest of the movie's animation is as terrible as that, I'm not sure what led me to watch it in the first place...

Well Dick, I'll give it a 6-1/2. It's pretty basic and the lead singer could be hotter, but it's definitely got a beat you can dance to just like all those awkward 7th-grade dances back in the '80s. They don't go out on a limb, and they color within their lines, but they do it well.
So the lead singer thinks he's David Coverdale, and the rest of the band can't decide if they want to be Nelson or Hurricane. It's a catchy chorus and the production is solid. But honestly, you've heard this same song 30 times under another name from 30 bands with different names - Rail, Law & Order, War Babies, Jeff Paris, White Tiger, Autograph, Giuffria, Icon, Keel - and you can't tell them apart. You won't change the station when it comes on, but you have no idea who the artist is, and pretty much forget it when someone cranks up AC/DC.
Admit it, you have no idea what, if anything, this band ever did other than this one song, but you know this one by heart.
It's 1981 at Seaside High. There's an awkward glance exchanged across the dance floor, and she's pretty cute and your friends are telling you to go over and ask her to dance. But you don't have the guts to ask her for a slow dance. So then this song comes on, and it seems safe, and you manage to get onto the dance floor by the time the second verse starts. And afterwards you dance a few more times before you have the guts to ask her for a slow dance. And you'd completely forget this song, except that you keep hearing it on the radio every other day, and it keeps sticking in your head as your 'first dance' song with her, until it finally grows on you and you can't help but hum along and bop your head as every time you're in the car with her cruising between McDonald's on Abrego Street and Dennis The Menace Park downtown where you go to sit on the hill and people watch.
You just like being able to say "sex" in his last name...
I could be wrong but I swear that Charlie Sexton played lead on several songs during David Bowie's Glass spider tour in the late 80's, though Peter Frampton was the lead guitarist of record for the tour. I saw the show in what was then the Hartford Civic Center. BTW, I caught the Serious Moonlight tour there as well. Good times. O0

per wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Sexton)
QuoteIn 1985, Sexton released his debut full-length album, Pictures for Pleasure. Recorded in Los Angeles when he was 16 years old, it yielded the Top 20 hit single, "Beat's So Lonely". Pareles of the New York Times described him as a teen idol singing David Bowie-style rock during the years he was promoted by MTV.
In 1987, Sexton was an occasional opening act for David Bowie on his Glass Spider Tour. Sexton appears on the Glass Spider home video playing guitar on Iggy Pop's "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and the Velvet Underground's "White Light/White Heat".
Though confused I may be about many things, guess just not about that. 8)

In a six degrees of Grogheads kind of moment, my step mom was at that show. You might have seen her. She was on crutches. And if it's not the Civic Center any more, what do they call it?
It's called the XL Center now.
Also, the entire Civic Center Mall that was the shopping half of the building was torn down about a decade ago. Now there is some kind of Office/Luxury Apartment/light retail complex located in it's place. I worked across the street from the Mall some 20 years ago but have not set foot in downtown Hartford since.
EDIT: One clarification- the actual sports/entertainment arena inside the XL Center is still called the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
I don't recall anyone in crutches but then everyone could have been on crutches at the show and I'd likely not remember now. :))
And now for something completely different (not a man with a stoat through his head):
MD - tell me you were at this show!
Never saw TSO, but, I've seen Styx four or five times. All in the last twenty years.
This one just screams "80s!" - and not in a bad way...
this one screams "80s!" in every bad way possible...
:-\
What's funny is that the lead singer reappeared in 12 years ago with the fantastic "American Hair Band" parody tune, when he should've been making fun of himself on this track.
and you thought this was a Tesla song...
(well, it was, but years later)
Any Muse fans here? Map of the Problematique is one of my favorite tracks

Great song. I've been a BOC fan since discovering their 'Secret Treaties' album back in the mid 70's.
Here's another Michael Moorcock penned BOC song...
... that's also written from the viewpoint of Elric of Melniboné, about Stormbringer, his demon sword.
Another band of Moorcock admirers. He was a quasi-official member in the 70s. This from the Chronicles of the Black Sword live album. The opening rant is Moorcock himself (in the flesh).
Here's a BOC song for the fans of the Hog Life, with an interesting thematic transition from bar tune to fated warrior mythos:
More BOC, this one with one of the most haunting bits of guitar work to make it onto pop radio:
Stagger,
I completely agree. Then Came the Last Days of May is their great unsung masterpiece. It is also a superb live song.
My favorite Blue Oyster Cult song. And a complete blast to play on Guitar Hero 3. Oh, and Moorcock wrote some of Hawkwind's songs. Strange dude, Moorcock, but I loved Elric!

which led me to some Nazareth
of course i had to grab another from the heavy metal soundtrack
Black Sabbath ....the Mob Rules
then i went into full 80's mode
Accept..fast as a shark.. a little Dieter
time for a double shot.....Accept ...Restless&Wild
they lost their edge when they cut Ace loose
K.I.S.S. ..... Hard Times
it's always good to end with eye candy
Styx...too much time on my hands
Been listening to this at work, now that I'm out of hours-long meetings, and have been very productive...
"SCREAM FOR ME, LONG BEACH!"
Shit i still have my ticket stub from that tour somewhere.....that was an awesome album
It's pretty sad but I was sitting here speaking along with Bruce as he spoke in between songs throughout the entire album..."here's what not to do if a bird sh&ts on you...THE RIME...OF THE ANCIENT...MARINERRRRR"
My son has a desk in my office and he was just ::)

Damn. Glad they caught that early.
and a clean recording of this song:
https://soundcloud.com/arumrae/somethings-happening-to-me
The video is a little goofy, but I haven't heard a bad song from these guys yet
Scott Ian + Fall Out Boy + Every Time I Die = killer heavy rock with great hooks
It's Adrenaline Mob with more hum-able choruses
An epic music video even if you mute the sound the like did.
Mirth works a pole better.

My favorite Thin Lizzy album, forgot how good this was....damn that smokes.
From Transcendence... Crimson Glory.....Masque Of The Red Death
From Awaken The Guardian....Fates Warning.....Prelude To Ruin
From Killers.....Iron Maiden... Wrathchild....Bruce just can't pull this one off, Steve and Clive kill on this one.
To be free.......I want out....Helloween.....Keeper of the seven keys pt.2
The first instrumental album I bought....this whole album just flows well. From Surfing with the alien.....Ice 9..Joe Satriani
I happened to be looking thru my cassettes, you know the ones from BMG and Columbia house where they screwed you with the shipping and handling, but hey 12 cassettes for a penny what the hell :o came across this band, which i had forgot about.
Self titled album i believe...War Babies...Hang me up....formed in Seattle.
Another Seattle band... the song is from 96 though. ..from Shot, Illusion, New God....Shot...Gruntruck.
From.... How will i laugh tomorrow when i cant even smile today...If I don't wake up...Suicidal Tendencies.
and just because Neil Peart is my favorite Drummer....Drum cam time.....YYZ Live in Rio..Rush is just so technically proficient.Man that crowd is having a good time, singing along with a song that has no words...classic.
Eye candy finish..from Wake me when its over...Where there's a whip there's a Way..Faster Pussycat.
another ass-kicking Gruntruck tune
IIRC they were an "all-star" band of a bunch of underground punk guys that were trying to bridge the metal-grunge divide of the early 90s.

Early or late wouldn't have helped, I didn't like any of it ;) I worked with a kid who was in to all that stuff. He was a pretty good guy. His girlfriend was generously endowed and liked to wear revealing shirts. So, even if he listened to The Cure, he was ok to have around as long as she was with him :)

and a live version:
The Cure had lots of great stuff. In the 80's they had an epic range of musical styles but I kind of did lost track of them after the 'Disintegration' album. Most of their 90's stuff was a bit light. How is 'Bloodflowers'? I've been meaning to get it one of these days since rumor has it the music is more like their 80's stuff.

You can certainly think so. I don't. Where I grew up, the kind of person that listened to this was not someone I chose to hang with. How they presented themselves based on the music they listened to was not anything I wanted to be involved in. That vampire/homo/emo vibe didn't jibe with the AOR/beer drinking/party time music that me and my buddies listened to. In the end, it all comes down to taste. You liked it, I didn't. I respect your opinion, but, the little I've heard doesn't impress me and all your offers for me to copulate solo aren't going to change my mind. And neither is what I consider crappy, whine ass music.
there's a half-dozen or so Cure tunes I really dig. Unfortunately, most of them were left off of Seven Nations cover album of Cure tunes :(

Please tell me that's not the first time you've ever seen anything from Zodiac Mindwarp... the over-the-top playing on cliches is their schtick
In high school I hung out with kids who like Van Halen, Led Zep, and The Who. In college I hung out with kids who were into The Cure, The Damned, and Siouxie Sioux. Each era was equally awesome in my book.

Does anyone remember Primus?
and my favorite:
yup
In many ways Primus was like the Butthole Surfers 2.0, just funkier.
Another one I learned from Guitar Hero.
Saw them 3 times
Opening for Rush at the Dean Dome. Great show - solid set, focused performance, rocking like crazy
Closing Lollapalooza - f*cking awful, but I thought maybe it was a residual thing from the rest of that show being awful. I liked Dino Jr, AIC, Fishbone (roadied them 2 years earlier), and Primus, and every one of them played like canned ass that night
Headlining local big-club gig - dreadful. totally, completely, absolutely dreadful. They were unfocused, tried to much to 'jam' extemporaneously and fail miserably, bass & drums totally unsynch'ed, and they actually argued with each other about what song to play next. The crowd was too drunk to notice so Primus just kept doing it
2 outta 3 was enough to make me not go back to see them again

the starter
Billy Thorpe...children of the sun
scorpions ..Pictured Life
A An,An,An,Another Piece of Meat

Opened up Rdio to listen to whilst I do a few chores. These are the albums on my home page:
Along with Donovan's Greatest Hits, which I can't find a copy of on YouTube.

As long as you're around, I'll never have to worry about being the oldest guy in the room ;)
Now, GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
I love Girlschool. The first time I heard them (probably around 1980) they were billed as the "female Motorhead" and, at least for a while, they lived up to that billing. Their early singles and the first 3 (or maybe 4) albums are essential. If you've never heard the split EP they did with Motorhead, you've missed out.
I saw them play in a bar Fayetteville NC (right outside of Fort Bragg) in the early 90s. The show was awesome, but the scene was dismal. There couldn't have been more than 50 people there, and my buddy and I were the only ones who actually stood in front of the stage. On the upside, it was like having them play in your living room. We joked with them between every song (and I apologized for our lame-ass town). A fantastic show from a fantastic band.
Here a a few (of many) favorites:
I covered Spin Doctors at a show on campus back in '93 or so. Fun gig
Bayonet,
I can't remember if I've asked you this before. did you work at WKNC?
si señor :)
in fact, check out the podcast we just did w/ my fellow on-air dude, Andy Martin!
http://grogheads.com/?podcast=the-grogcast-episode-5
At it's peak, the coolest radio station I've ever heard. Our Friday night was often dominated by Chainsaw Rock and vast quantities of malt beverages. Good times!
When I was there, Friday night was always Friday Night Request Rock, and Chainsaw Rock was on Saturday :)
Andy (see podcast above) used to do the Chainsaw show a lot. He and I were on Fridays leading up to FNRR. We had Backtrax and the weekly countdown.
theres a lot of elements from different styles in this one.
^ Hadn't heard that one before. Good tune-age.
You just gotta laugh, innit.
Tortelvis (the lead singer) was a hoot during an interview I heard many years ago, staying in Faux-Elvis character the whole time.
I could live for another 80 years, but I don't think I'll be as cool as this guy was. Ladies & Gents, now

I've played their version of Stairway to Heaven live, in front of an audience. Sober.
Well, the audience wasn't. That helped.

Just listened to the whole 'Last Waltz,' album last Saturday while cleaning the house.
And seeing as she helped on the last song, here's Joni Mitchell.

Does anyone remember Primus?
What kinda fucking question is that?!?
the musical wanderings of a distorted mind
the eye candy finish
I saw Primus 3 times - opening for Rush on the Roll The Bones tour, solo headlining a club tour, and Lollapalooza III. I cover them on the GrogCast with Andy when we talk music for an hour.
Nice set -budd-. Looks like a batch I might put together of a night.
Neil Diamond rocks!
-smh-
That's some good tune-age,
budd. O0
This is something you'll almost never hear me say, but I could watch this video just for the guy dancing. He's got some serious moves (would that I had even half his style & grace):
Black Keys are great O0
I'm sure it's been posted like three times in this thread already but just in case anyone missed it:
I also recently discovered the Kongos, from (iirc) South Africa:
(The last one recently incongruously popped up in a Universal Studios resort ad.)
Kongos are actually currently based in Arizona, where they graduated high school, but of South African heritage.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongos_(band)
Well The Kongos certainly are not your run-of-the-mill alt-rock bunch, that's for sure. Between the percussion-heavy sound and the accordion licks they certainly hold your attention.
For a change of pace- Leonard Cohen
Something classic:
Something edgier:
"Well, it's Father's Day... and everybody's wounded..." is a line that has stuck in my head since first hearing this song many years ago.
Watching Rock in the Range footage on AXS tv. Totally worth it...
The dangers of going to YouTube for one bad ass jam...and finding SO many more!
Further proof that Zappa is a genius. And Terry Bozio can play the fuck out of some drums!!!
And NSFW (language)
-snicker-
While I understand that many mock and/or revile the movie itself, I do love the orchestral score -- this piece in particular (I think I may have posted it before, but screw it!):
For the sake of completion here is
Book 2: Hemispheres, the 18 minute followup on their next album:
Back in the day we used to call stuff like that 'Head Music' (as in 'feed your..', not 'get some..').
Note that this album also had the Rush classic
Trees on it.

In all truth my favorite Rush albums are actually
Signals and
Grace under Pressure, specifically the songs
'Subdivisions',
'Losing it', and
'Red Sector A'. The latter song has an especially remarkable backstory.
I like all of them until Grace Under Pressure. After that, with rare exceptions, they lost me.
I actually really liked Presto, but Grace Under Pressure is probably my favorite album. Unfortunately, their album with my favorite song (Spirit of the Radio) is mostly crap beyond that.

Spirit of Radio gets cranked in whatever vehicle I am in as soon as the first note plays. That's not the case with almost anything from childhood any more.
I've just discovered a band called
Soen, said to be similar to my favourite band Tool. They aren't, really, but I can see why some people draw the comparison. Anyway...
If you dig Tool, Huw, have you heard of Maynard's other effort, A Perfect Circle?
I have yeah, MD. I find APC to be very hit and miss; for every good song (like Judith) there's an equally crap song. Not bad though. I'm dying to get the next Tool album though! It's been far too long.
My oldest is a big Tool fan, so, I heard lots of that as she was growing up. Then APC hit and I heard a lot of that, too. :)

loves Nirvana, Therion and Type O Negative. ;)
for some reason this one's been on the radio a bunch here lately
and here to re-heavy the proceedings
Lets get it started
Black Sabbath...After Forever
I pretty much like most of Maynard's stuff, Tool, APC, Puscifer, a new Tool album is over due. Here's something from Puscifer.
pick up it a bit

Bzzzzt....
Locomotive is a stellar tune
I used to play Breakdown in my live sets all the time, and my first internet sig (before I switched ti Heinlein) was from that song
Back of Bitch, Garden of Eden, Dust & Bones, Yesterdays, Get In The Ring - all great tunes
The Buick Makane segue into Big Dumb Sex was a great twist
Oh, and if you look in the original liner notes from Appetite, you'll see lyrical quotes from "You Could Be Mine" - 4 years before the Illusion albums were released.
The Chinese Democracy album leaves something to be desired, but if you can find the old bootleg demo tapes with Slash playing on the original version of Crash Diet, you wonder how that managed to never get on any album.
Sorry. The Gunners left me cold after seeing some terrible live shows and being force fed 'November Rain,' on MTV.
I can understand the hate; I'm just kind of a sucker for good piano parts and good guitar solos. 8)
Good tune-age, AC!
I still love you Dukes of Hazard even though TV Land is a bunch of pussies who gave into loud mouth nannies and pulled you off of TV, because of a stupid flag. This jackassery knows no bounds.
Well said, Bison.
A lot of this hate for the Confederate flag comes from groups that cannot justify their existence without latching onto something like this and making a huge stink over nothing.
We rocked out to Loverboy this evening at the 4th of July concert in our little neck of the universe this evening.
Due to the recent overabundance of shitty modern music I've been digging further back.
Into the "before time" when I was young and didn't know what the fuck was going on. Fresh from a uterus and lacking expectations. I've come to realize the chaotic beauty of this short period's music. Widely considered inappropriate at the time.
That generally means 70s (and early 80s) Punk. The basis for the rock revolutions that came after. My definition of "oldies". ^-^
And some modern wholesome stuff..
Can't deny some of the other greats from my extreme youth..
How 'bout that twist?

Yep. When I drink, I binge. Which means everyone else is long passed out, asleep, or gone home while I'm still going into the wee hours.
After 21 beers (Newcastle, Red Stripe, and one shitty tasting 7.2% beer) I decided to call it a night. Probably could've had a couple more. ;D My liver hates me, but not as often as it used to.
Thanks for reminding me about Taylor Momsen and Juliette Lewis, chaps. I forgot how good those two are.
By the way, if we're allowing covers of Black Sabbath, allow me to present the best Black Sabbath cover I've ever heard:
Solitude by Norwegian gods
Ulver:
Is that one of those 'Tile' finder app things around his neck?
I SO wish I was this young again. Or at least possess that energy with this age :)
This is much more my speed now:
Fatlip is a good tune, MD. I have it on a workout playlist.
Also yeah...those music videos aren't done in a short period of time, so a lot of those kids were jumping around for hours upon hours.
Heard it on the radio yesterday, B_C. There was a lot of good stuff coming out when my kids were growing up.
I love to play this song on Guitar Hero. And it's got some good anime in it, too.
I bought the album just for that song. Downloads were not an option back then.
I love albums and always will, but, I bought quite a few stinkers just for one song. Was the rest of the album any good, Stagger?
Sometimes I really love the YouTube wormhole:
Stupid band name, good tune
Love to karaoke this song!
Suicidal tendencies and Violent Femmes- two other albums I owned (really!)
The Suicidal Tendencies album I bought after hearing 'Institution' on the Repo Man soundtrack. Not sure what happened to it.
Violent Femmes debut album? Well, that was just a great piece of work. I still listen to it from time to time.
I should probably put all these in one post.
Nah.
And just because looking for a song from Guitar Hero started this whole deal, I'll end with one that I would never have known or liked if I hadn't played that game.
Something different. I don't usually go for this kind of stuff but these guys have got it going on. There is something strangely compelling about this style of hip hop and I'm not the only one who thinks so based on the comments others have made.

This is a fantastic piece of mellow jazz. 8) Might have to add this to my collection rather than just sponge off of Spotify. :)
Very nice. :smitten: Miles Davis did a wonderful cover of JoaquĂn Rodrigo Vidre's song as well.
Excellent! It is really interesting to hear how two different artists approach the same piece in a different way. I love Miles Davis. His "Kind of Blue" is one of my favorite jazz albums of all time.

That's one more than me. :) I just have Kind of Blue. I was starting to build a jazz CD collection, but then I discovered Pandora, JazzRadio.com and Spotify, and that was that. ;D
Having said that, my last album purchase was
White Heat. It is a collection of modern renditions of the jazz songs from classic films noir. Some very nice interpretations on that. You can search for it on Spotify. That is how I found it.
I've heard of those but I'm not familiar.
The only musicking I do online is youTube and occasionally buying an album on iTunes. I currently have 563 albums by 220 artists on my iPod. For some reason iTunes no longer lists total number of songs or total playtime and I can't figure out how to get it to do so. As of about seven years ago, I had around 12 days worth of music on it, twenty four hours a day without repeating anything. ;D There are still songs on there that I've never heard.

You should really try those online music sites. They are a great way of finding new music, as well as hearing old favorites. Pandora is great for exploring since it plays music
similar to what you tell it you like. Spotify is great for digging into artists you already like since you can listen to almost any album on demand (and for free - all these sites are free, albeit they all offer premium plans). And JazzRadio.com, the new kid on the block, is just great for streaming all different types of jazz (Accuradio.com is another good site with an excellent jazz section).

Wow, that is a lot of music! Based on my iTunes stats, I only have 159 songs and 13.5 hours of music. You put me to shame! :D To be fair, I have a bunch of CDs too that I never bothered to upload to iTunes as I usually can listen to them on Spotify or what have you. I only load music to iTunes when I want to take it along on my Nano, which is usually when I can't count on a WiFi network to stream my online music services.
BTW: in iTunes, click on "my music." At the bottom of the screen it should tell you the exact number of songs and hours of music (this is with the latest 12.2 update).
I did a Google search tonight and after about 20 minutes of trying different things :uglystupid2:, I finally got it to display again. Currently 6169 "items" (probably includes podcasts) and 18.1 days worth of content.
Thanks for tipping me off to those services.

Don't mention it! And I am glad you got your iTunes working again. Wow, that is a lot of music! ;D
Excellent, toe-tapping jazz:
I first heard this song in the excellent 1958 French film noir,
Elevator to the Gallows. Great song. Really, the contemporary idea that films noir routinely contain this type of sultry jazz comes from that movie. In truth, most films noir of the classical period (1946-58) either used uptempo swing jazz or boilerplate movie scoring.

He was, and Kind of Blue is just fantastic. Even people who don't like jazz usually have kind words about that masterwork.
Just now I found an interesting story and video concerning Davis' work on the soundtrack for Elevator to the Gallows:
http://www.openculture.com/2015/05/watch-miles-davis-improvise-the-soundtrack-for-elevator-to-the-gallows.html
QuoteThe modal experimentation in Miles Davis' classic albums Milestones and, especially, 1959's Kind of Blue seemed to come out of nowhere. Along with similarly groundbreaking releases at the end of the fifties, these records irrevocably changed the sound of jazz. But hardcore jazz fans, and cinephiles, would have seen the development coming, having heard Davis' soundtrack to Louis Malle's 1958 crime thriller Elevator to the Gallows (Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud—trailer below). As the story goes, Davis happened to be in Paris in 1957 during the film's postproduction to perform at the Club Saint-Germain. Malle's assistant—perhaps inspired by the moody jazz soundtracks of films like Roger Vadim's Does One Ever Know and Alexander Mackendrick's Sweet Smell of Success—suggested Davis to the director. After a private screening of the film, the trumpeter and composer agreed to take the gig. It was Davis' first soundtrack and Malle's first feature film....
^Nice find. Thanks for sharing.
That's a really great site. Lots of good articles.
Yeah, I was just poking around too and found some cool stuff. I knew the internet must be good for something else besides cat videos. :)
The Worlds Only Nedal Band
QuoteBut how did the band - consisting of members Head Ned, Bled Ned, Red Ned, Thread Ned and Stead Ned - come up with the Simpsons-based idea?
"Myself and our drummer were in line at a grocery store [Kwik-E Mart?], entertaining ourselves by coming up with really cutesy names for really hardcore, brutal bands," lead singer Head Ned told Rip It Up.
"The name Okilly Dokilly came up and was very funny to us - we ran with it. I contacted a few friends, and here we are.
"Most of us have played in other bands around our hometown. This is definitely the heaviest sounding project any of us Neds have done."

Well... I think they started in the early or mid 90s. So that would be around two decades.
I had no idea there was an official video for this song, much less that it would be a live version. Neat to watch though.
I almost posted that! How about this instead?
Why be forced to choose? In fact...

Rock myth:
Every song with "Easy" or "Black" in the title is a classic.
I'm still not averse to this thinking.
More direct back in the day. ;) Not a bad example of the difference.
Heard about this rock band in Noir City. I have to say, not bad. Only listened to a few songs so far, but I think there is promise here. 'Straightrazor" is pretty catchy:
Don't miss these ladies!
Srsly.

Wow, never realized how the film noir community has such a thriving sub-culture of its own. Here is another (see The Latenight Callers vid above) music video, this time from a German, noir-influenced "doom jazz" band. This is really good stuff.

Sounds good, right? Some great rainy day jazz right there.
I am not familiar with Neo-Lounge or Hollywood Chill. I assuming those are genres? Any good examples I should check out?
Actually I made those terms up (though I cannot be the first to do so) to refer to stuff like Ben Vaughn's Designs in Music album (evocative of 60's spy/jewelthief movies) and techno-tinged songs with crooning lead vocals such as Jes/Motorcycle's When the rush comes.

This one album of theirs was the only one I owned. I dug some of their other stuff, but only bits and pieces. This album, though, I love from beginning to end.

When I coached high school football one of the teams I coached requested this in the locker room before games. They were a solid bunch of kids so we let them play it. If their parents ever found out I'm sure we would've been fired. Solid kids that knew when to keep their mouths shut.

Had a sudden urge to hear these songs, dunno why...
Back in the late 80's I had a GF who was into the Dead. A teensie bit must have rubbed off on me...
My daughter was giving me crap the other night about these guys. Said to play her a 'good' Dead song. Took me a while to meet her approval ;) Went through some good tunes, too. Some of my favorites:
Not in the last two decades, no. We used to have random sampling at work until I left in late 2012.
Who knows if Connecticut goes the way of Colorado though.
I've never heard of the grateful dead before , but that's great music to chill out to 8) I like the art work on the covers , the middle one reminds me of an art project I did in highschool , only mine had a globe instead of a skull , but very similar .And the rose I would imagine would make a great tattoo , love the depth of colour used on that , and very cool writing font :)
Wow! I thought the Dead were a global phenomenon. Glad you liked them. There's a large catalog to look into if you like. I wouldn't recommend much of the live stuff. You can't always tell how tight the band is going to play. When they are loose, the music can play on for what seems like EVER! And not in a good way. So you might want to stick to studio releases.
Here's a few more of their popular songs here in the States:
And a really good album that would be considered definitive for content and style.
Here's a few more I like:
Here's every single Grateful dead tune I like
yep, that's pretty much all of them.

But I also liked china doll as well , and their artwork is seriously cool , wow !! Did their album title inspire the film by the same name "American beauty " with Kevin spacey , or is that just a complete coincidence?
So yeah , cool song choices guys , thanks O0
Glad you liked 'em!
I don't recall if the Grateful Dead had anything to do with the Spacey film but the 'American Beauty' is a breed of rose primarily cultivated in the USA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_%27American_Beauty%27 and frequently used in a symbolic manner.

The one thing I will say is, there's nothing wrong with what they are doing. Using music to make money doesn't have to follow any rules except, making money, if that's what you are in it for. At least, I hope that's their motivation. Otherwise, all the stuff in the article holds true. And that makes them poseurs.
A lot of people said the same thing about Stone Temple Pilots when they first came out.
I do have to say that Our Lady Peace pulled that sound off better:

Best laugh of the day, Brant!
Looks like the guy on the right didn't get the flag memo.
Not knowing anything about Nickelback except that they were widely hated for some reason, sometime last year I watched a video on YouTube to see what the deal was. It was about the most inane thing I'd ever heard. About like "I went to a party and saw my friends. It was fun. We hung out and partied and then we went home." If all their songs are like that I don't see the point of listening to them.
No offense intended, Emeraldlis! :) What song did you connect with? I'll listen to it and maybe learn something.
There are some of them that I like, and some of them that drive me nuts. Wife is OK with them, so I can usually sneak a couple of more rocking songs into playlists in the car and not get stuck listening to nothing but kids' stuff and airhead pop music on road trips.
I like Animals, and I actually like This Afternoon which might be the one you were complaining about. Next Contestant was pretty good.
Less of a fan of If Everyone Cared and Photograph.

None taken at all ĂĽbercat :) the world would be a very dull place if we all liked the same stuff !! The song of theirs I connected to is "you remind me " . This is how the song speaks to me , lol ............it's like this guy has been through a lot of s**t in his life which has given him a lot of walls and defence mechanisms , and he's in love with the woman in the video , and she keeps trying to get past those defences he's got up all over the place , but he keeps pushing her away . She try's everything she can think of to keep him engaging with her in that relationship , but in the end the choice is his , because she just stands there , like , " hey dude , you wanna talk to me , I'm here for you , but you have to talk !! " so his behaviour reminds her of who she really is , she's strong enough to take it because she's loves him ........she ain't going anywhere !!! She'll just wait it out until he's ready :) but she also respects herself enough to not keep chasing him , because she wants him to want her , not be forced by her ........that's how he reminds her too , that she needs to still respect herself .....don't be throwin herself at him !!!!! Anyway THATS what I hear in that song , lol , could be way off the mark !!!

I doubt that even registers on the list of reasons why people don't like them....
A fair chunk of the hate stemmed from the fact that not only were they inescapable on radio for a couple of years, but their popularity led to a whole brigade of soundalike bands who also became inescapable on the radio. You couldn't get away from it.

Played it to death over there then ,eh .......over egged the pudding .....made a perfectly good band with a great sound obsolete by radio stations doing overkill and playing it all the time !!! That all sounds familiar , do you remember Bryan Adams hit "everything I do ( I do it for you ) ? Well exactly the same thing happened in the uk with that song , I think it was number one for about 16 weeks ......sigh , couldn't get away from the flippin thing , and I'm a fan of Bryan Adams , but after that summer EVERYONE was sick of that song ....and it's a great song .......stupid radio stations :tickedoff:

I just love Jimmy fallons sense of humour , and he manages to do it with such a straight face, which just makes it even funnier , you believe the character he's sending up or playing , brilliant , just , just , brilliant :2funny: thanks for the laughs guys. You just made my night O0

Brant , that group was a cool find by you , I really like them . I'm loving the sound of the bass guitar on most of their tracks ...awesome ! Spent some time last night listening to more of their tracks on YouTube ......guess what I came across ......
They only did a grateful dead cover :D ;)
Thought this one was cool also ......
One of the best Allman Bothers songs of all time:

I really like James cordons carpools , I thought this one was. Really good :) James cordon is really well known over here for being an actor and he also hosts the BEST sports/game show on tv !! It's called "a league of their own " , and if your a sports nut , or just want to laugh your ass off , I highly recommend it , this is just a snippet , some funny bits ;D
I LOVE this song...

(Did I post that somewhere in the past year? Funkcheese if I know, even after checking)
I gave my heart to a simple chord... What ever happened to my rock and roll?
I've seen that before ;D I like this:
Welp, for better or for worse, my wife and daughter wanted to see Blink 182 when they visit town at the end of July. So I got tickets for the concert for them and me.
A few more bands are appearing with them.
All-American Rejects. I'd heard of these guys but was a little hard pressed at first to find some of their songs that I enjoy, but honestly I've listened to a few and they're actually pretty decent.
A Day To Remember. I've kinda-sorta heard of these guys but again, had no clue what they sing. I found a few songs that are pretty okay.
All Time Low. I've never heard of these guys. Not sure I can feel a vibe from their music as it sounds like so many other pop/rock fusion bands I've heard before. But, it's not terrible.
Then there's some dude I've never heard of calling himself "DJ Spider." I tried to listen to a couple of his "mixes" but they're pretty boring/awful. Maybe I'm just not listening to the right ones. In any case I'm not going to share any of that.
Then August 22, all four of us are going to see Def Leppard! I've not seen them in concert, yet.
Not sure I'm a big fan of their latest album, but it looks like their set list is going to be pretty epic:
Let's Go/Def Leppard
Animal/Hysteria
Dangerous/Def Leppard
Foolin'/Pyromania
Love Bites/Hysteria
Armageddon It/Hysteria
Rick Savage Bass Solo/Rock On / YEAH!
Rocket (Single Version)/Hysteria
Bringin' On The Heartbreak (electric)/High 'n' Dry
Switch 625 (Instrumental)/High 'n' Dry
Hysteria/Hysteria
Let's Get Rocked/Adrenalize
Pour Some Sugar On Me/Hysteria
Rock Of Ages/Pyromania
Photograph/Pyromania
Let It Go/High 'n' Dry
Also with them is REO Speedwagon.
If the setlist can be believed, here's what they might play:
Don't Let Him Go
Take It on the Run
Keep Pushin'
Can't Fight This Feeling
Tough Guys
Time for Me to Fly
Back on the Road Again
Ridin' the Storm Out
Keep On Loving You
Roll With the Changes
Sounds like a set list for the Yacht Rock channel on Sirius-XM, but hey, REO Speedwagon. Interesting that 3 of the original 5 are still touring, including Cronin, the lead singer.
Tesla rounds out the group as well. I'm not a big fan of them; some of their songs are okay. "Rock Me To The Top" and "Edison's Medicine," I've always kind of liked; "Heaven's Trail," "Modern Day Cowboy," and "Signs" were way, way, way, way, WAY overplayed on the radio and I'm sick of all three of them even to this day. I don't deny that Heaven's Trail is a pretty good song, but meh.
Rock Me to the Top
Edison's Medicine (Man Out of Time)
Heaven's Trail (No Way Out)
Signs (Five Man Electrical Band cover)
Love Song
Little Suzi (Ph.D. cover)
Modern Day Cowboy
"Rock Me To The Top" is a song I am okay with. But the others...I dunno.
My GF wants to go see that show. I've seen Tesla before and probably like them a little more than you, but, Def Leppard is the very definition of cheese and REO Speedwagon seemed like an old man's band back in the 80's. Can't imagine how much older they seem now. Enjoy the show!
There are so many better Tesla tunes like Yesterdaze Gone, and Paradise. I can't stand Heaven's Trail
I wish REO Speedwagon would bring back I Do' Wanna Know - killer guitar riffs on that one
Would like to see Run Riot and/or Lady Strange from Def Leppard, but overall sounds like a good show.
Going to be hopping on the nostalgia wagon this Friday. Big Wreck is playing Leduc's Canada Day stage. A few years back it was 54-40 and Glass Tiger. We seem to keep scoring old bands.
A bunch of buddies are coming down and we'll head over and spend an hour re-living our youth before fireworks start and we continue getting drunk. >:D

I had this tune on a mix tape for about11 years before I ever found out who it was, b/c it's not Ted's usual vocals, and the guitar solo/riffs don't scream "Ted Nugent" to anyone...

Parkway Drive is getting closer to a song I like. If they'd just get a halfway decent singer...
[yt]https://youtu.be/rc0F87ssVw4[/yt]
OMG. They burned a tree making that video.... the bastards.
here I thought early into the song I was going to ear-feast on some garage band metal.... sadly no.
FWIW, I agree, the lead singer needs to go .... and use some exlax
Solid attempt at a cover tune, but loses the crunch of the original with the dual guitars layering over each other

I just Googled the first line of the lyrics and added the game's name. Voila!
What I was getting at (while obviously being too obtuse) is that Gangsta Grass (an obvious play on 'Blue Grass') is the band that did the song used with the opening credits for 'Justified'. I was just surprised to hear them in a Farm Sim video.

Ah, okay...sorry, Stags. I never heard of them. And when I found the name Gangsta Grass I thought I'd found the wrong one, because the opening refrain from that song sure as hell doesn't sound like something a rap group would do. I had to listen to it a bit longer to be sure it matched up.

Darkest ocean is an awesome song , I really love that one too , I just had another listen a couple of times through :) the drums are a really cool sound on the track I think , and the line "do yourself a fn favour , build yourself a boat , hold your breath until you reach the surface , I know that you'll float " .....is a line that resonates with me , it sticks in my head as a powerful sentiment to live by .
It's cool your son discovered them , I wondered if they'd be heard stateside or the uk . I heard them on the radio in the car ...and was like , oh this is a cool sound , and cranked up the volume :smitten: no surprise to hear an Irish tune on Irish radio though , lol .

I'm sure I've posted this somewhere, but, I'm only human.
Woah.....MD ....that's an awesome sound on that tune :bd: definately one for my playlist !!! I really liked the other one as well , "in bloom" , great video too :coolsmiley:
Try this one, too, E. I'm sure I've posted this three or four times, but, in case you missed it, here it is (the video is cool as hell, too):
Yeah , i remember Lydia from the last time you posted it :) it's a cool video , but the song didn't immediately grab me in the same way that ,my name is human did . So I'm glad you reposted and put this band back into my spotlight , they have a very cool sound on that track , thanks MD :bd:
You seem to like woman in water , lol , so here's another one for ya MD ,you might not like the song , but the video might be just up your street ::)........
The song was alright. Pleasant, but not memorable. And until you mentioned it, I hadn't realized I was posting lady in the water videos. Wonder what that says about me? :-"

I used to work out to this tune back in the day , every time I play it I think of step up aerobics !!!! Great tune though Imo :)
I liked both of those tunes you posted Banzai cat and Bayonetbrant , great to rock out to O0

I like this version of the song better , I think some songs sound better live than studio recorded , I think it's just down to taste and the atmosphere of a live audience can pump up the atmosphere of a song more at times :) oh man ,The Graeme Norton show is brilliant , the red chair stories are just to funny, lol !!!! :D your hobbies sound like fun , have you been following the drama of the super moon ? Or are there more intresting astronomical delights going on at the moment catching your attention ?

August 21: Total Solar Eclipse
The year's fourth and final eclipse is a very special one. Whenever the Moon covers the Sun, the narrow path of totality can be anywhere in the world — often traversing remote locations. But this year's event is very close to home for many of us, because the 70-mile-wide path of totality stretches from the Pacific to the Atlantic across the continental United States. The Moon's full shadow hasn't passed over any U.S. soil since 1991 (Hawaii) nor across any part of the contiguous 48 states since 1979. Moreover, a total solar eclipse hasn't run coast to coast since 1918!Totality map :

This is a great garage band, alt scene song. Should be in everyone's bailiwick.
Made me look up the band and the word bailiwick :).
This song feels more garage band to me.
Both songs are earworms. Thanks for posting.
But when I think of garage bands I expect something more like this :
punky... grungy... garage bandy... like'em <:-)

Oh that's a great article , thanks for sharing that . It's a shame you're not in the states to see it in 2017 , I hope you've at least managed to catch one . I remember there was a solar eclipse in the uk a good few years back that happened in Devon/Cornwall if my memory is correct ! It was great to see in the article the track the eclipse will take across the USA :) I've seen a moon eclipse ....hope that's the correct term , it was either the end of '95 or beginning of 1996 . I remember it happened quite late after midnight-ish , I sat in the car with a flask of hot coffee and watched it , honestly it was beautiful and so peaceful , I'm glad I made the effort to see it :) last year I saw Saturn in the sky from where I live ...a lovely little orange dot in the night sky !!!!! Apparently Jupiter was visible as well , but I never made that out . I can't say I have this as a hobby , but it's definately a passing intrest , if I see/hear of something to be seen , I'll go have a look . And where I live , it's well in the countryside with no light pollution , so the night sky is spectacular , some nights the amount of stars in a clear sky is truly breathtaking :) and I occasionally see the odd satalite whizzing through the sky if I have a look up !!!
And on that note , time to stick a dime in the jukebox and play a night sky inspired tune ....... Also thanks for the link :)

Might well be - a lot of US southern blues rock doesn't make it overseas. The whole time I was in German schools, I never met anyone who had even heard of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
That's why I asked. I'm never sure what translates. Didn't want to post a bunch of favorites if she was already a fan.

They've sure as hel heard of Lynyrd Skynyrd in Finland:
I wonder if the guys in the army choir are part of the same unit that recently suffered such tragic losses in the recent Black Sea accident. :(
EDIT: found better quality clip
EDIT again: It
was the same chorale organization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandrov_Ensemble :( :(
That was pretty f*ing outstanding, Stagger! Gave me a Zappa feel with the vibes/xylophone in there and the choir at the end, too. :)
Glad to be of service. :)

Yeah , guys , that was my first time hearing an allman brothers song :) never heard of them before MD , and as Brant said I've never heard any southern blues rock before . Unless I have and just didn't realise it was that genre !but I honestly can't say that I remember ??? But yeah that track sounds awesome to me , if you guys have any other southern blues music to post , honestly I'd love to hear it :)
not necessarily the biggest hits from each of these, but a decent sampler of blues-based A-chord-loving Southern rock

Seriously loved electric Angels , awesome song 8) never heard it before . And red hot chilli peppers , I've always been a fan , I remember the first time I heard a song of theirs on MTV , I must have been about 13/14 and seriously loved their sound . That was a great song to listen to :D
I didn't know you could play guitar or sing , that's really cool :coolsmiley: I had piano lessons when I was a kid for a couple of years , I'm not great ....I just tinker , lol , I used to have a piano , but I can't have one here , just not got the room for one , but I still have a keyboard that I mess around on occasionally ....when life permits ...sigh ! Do you still play/sing ?.........dance around occasionally ? :) do you still have a guitar ? And what made you choose rhythm ? I'm firing a lot of questions your way , lol , but I'm just curious , I love music :)
I see you've posted some southern blues music , I SERIOUSLY want to give that a listen right now , lol , but I have to head out the door soon , but I'm really looking forward to sitting down with a glass of wine and giving it a listen , thanks :) what is really cool , is that it's a recommend from a guy who actually lives in the south , so in that way it feels like I'm going to get a much more authentic experience of that type of music . Thanks for posting it :bd: :)

Liked the intro to this track , I liked the stops and starts in the melody , guitar sounds awesome , good solid track I thought , I really liked it :)
Really cool to see an original MTV video from back in the day 8) just thought this was a really catchy tune , great to rock out to , wouldn't have thought it was southern blues rock if I'd have just heard this by myself , I would have just assumed it was rock .....
I've heard of this band before :) a good friend of mine played me a track of theirs ....back to paradise :) I still have the track , I think they're really good . I think this song is lovely , really nice lyrics . I think the drums drive this track ....it sounds awesome :)
I'm gonna be an allman brothers fan ....I can tell !!!! I love the intro on this track , the tempo , the rhythm, the guys voice .....everything !!!! I could listen to this on repeat and not get bored , it's a killer track with great vocals ......awesome :D
This track definately makes me think of what I'd call classic country music, more bluesy/country than rock , awesome . Loved the flute in the intro , grabbed me straight away , loved his gravely southern voice/accent ...very cool 8) loved the lyrics , killer track :)
I really didn't like her voice .....sigh . I could listen to the track all day long , the brass section was awesome , the sax and the trumpets were amazing ,that guy can play the sax ...woah !!!! I wish I could hear that song with someone else singing it ,she just sounded to me like she was straining to hit the notes , which I just found annoying , but other than that a great sound :)
Loved the story told in this song :) everything about this track grabbed me , his voice , drums and guitar awesome . I was sad when it ended , and I think if you want to hear more of a song/tune it's a good marker that it fits into your taste , wheelhouse O0
Loved the artwork on the cover , lol :) the line ,"sitting in the backseat drinking your liquor " made me smile ......ooh the bitterness , lol , I liked the track , I can't say it blew me away . Maybe it'll grow on me with a few listens , of the all , this is the one I could take or leave , but still nice :)
I really , really enjoyed listening to all of those songs , Thankyou :) I think I've just found a new sound to love ....*gasp*......*shock* .....who knew,lol !!!! Y'all have been keeping some great music to yourselves down south , it's a great sound ....I'm in :D :-" :-"

Southern rock has always had a country influence / overlap in themes, but the sound (especially in the mid-70s when that one was recorded) is distinctly different.

I play guitar, badly. I don't sing - that's part of the humor of it all. I'm a
bad singer, but we didn't have anyone else willing to do it, so I got stuck with it.
Probably the Allman's most famous song
One of my all time favorite Allman tracks
Followed by another
And another
Just a few more
There's much more, but I'll leave you to discover it yourself. O0
I have a love/hate relationship with Lynyrd Skynyrd. They are a great band with some great songs. They helped create and define a genre. My problem is they have played the living HELL out of them on the radio here and some of the songs have turned from ear worm to headache. But if you're not familiar with them, then you have a great adventure ahead discovering them.
And the song that inspires the cry, "Freebird," before the first encore of every concert I've ever been to
I would argue that Midnight Rider is more famous than Rambling Man, YMMV
My personal favorite is their version of Melissa from MTV Unplugged, with One Way Out as close second

Sorry it's taken me a while to reply to this ! My iPad keeps crashing on this thread and it's only just occurred to me to use my phone ...sigh , anyway , They are both great songs and do both sound very bluesy . The lynyrd skynrd one sounds more rock to me , smokey mountain rain sounds more country to me and made me think of John Denver for some reason , and it's a beautiful song :) and the way he says diesel is just to cool !!!

Quote from: Emeraldlis on January 20, 2017, 10:23:29 AMI didn't know you could play guitar or sing
I play guitar, badly. I don't sing - that's part of the humor of it all. I'm a bad singer, but we didn't have anyone else willing to do it, so I got stuck with it.
I'm sure you play and sound great :) and it definitely took guts to get up there and perform when no one else would :coolsmiley: I'd much rather be in the audience any day !!!!

I have a love/hate relationship with Lynyrd Skynyrd. They are a great band with some great songs. They helped create and define a genre. My problem is they have played the living HELL out of them on the radio here and some of the songs have turned from ear worm to headache. But if you're not familiar with them, then you have a great adventure ahead discovering them.
And the song that inspires the cry, "Freebird," before the first encore of every concert I've ever been to
Gimme three steps and freebird are both awesome songs MD , I can definately listen to them repeatedly and will do 👍🎼 I'd heard the name lynyrd skynrd before but for some reason always assumed they were heavy metal and just never bothered to check them out . I had to google them when you guys posted songs because I honestly didn't have a clue who they were !!!!....I'm gonna duck just in case that causes a bar brawl 😂 But they are a great band wish I'd have checked them out sooner . It's great you've seen them live , I guess freebird must be one of their signature songs then ?
Sorry, E. I've never actually been to a Skynyrd concert. I could see how you might think that with how I wrote my reply. No, what I meant is, that "Freebird," is such an iconic song, and encore worthy, it's really kind of a smarmy joke to yell, "Freebird," at whatever concert I am at before the band comes back onstage for their encore. Especially once all the lighters get lit. Or as nowadays is the case, cellphones. Which don't really produce the same effect as lighters, but, it's the thought that counts. Glad you liked the tunes, though.

Gotcha MD ☺️ Maybe I'll just go to a concert here and randomly shout freebird 😏...just to confuse people 😂 And yep , lighters are the way to go 🕯. I liked all of the allman songs you posted , but those three at the end were awesome , the harmonica on train train blew me away 💥And high tides and green grass is just epic , nice one MD 👍

Thank you, Emeraldlis. Believe it or not, I heard all those songs on the radio growing up. Along with The Kinks, Elvis Costello, the Tubes, Black Sabbath, Rush, Van Halen, KISS, The Cars, Talking Heads, R. E. M., ELP, Peter Gabriel, The Stones, The Who, The Beatles, Zeppelin, and on and on and on. I had no idea how good I had it until I lived through the last 30+ years of whatever new music came out. Which isn't to say that there has been no good music since then. Far from it. But the stations I get here now just seem to recycle what I've heard for my entire lifetime along with a lot of same sounding new stuff.
Oh! And you should TOTALLY yell, "Freebird," before the encore of the next show you see. Someone might hear you and laugh along with you. And even if noone does, you'll still be amused ;)

It's funny , but I never really listened to the radio until I was maybe 10/11 years old , not for music anyway . All of my musical taste before that was just mainly what my parents listened to , and that was mainly, Simon and Garfunkel, John Denver , Neil diamond .....music along those lines , and my mum was a complete Elvis Presley nut , lol , and I have favourites from that selection of artists , but when I started listening to radio for myself and discovered rock ....omg , it blew my head off :D And my older brother discovered dance and techno music, it was the early 90's , lol, and blasted it through the house most days every day , haha , so I picked up some of his taste in that genre ....pretty hard not to really !!!!
I think you're lucky that you had all of that music as your early influence growing up , and from the list you've given I really like Peter Gabriel and R.E.M , I've heard of most of the others ,never heard of rush or the tubes . and apart from the Beatles and the who , I haven't really explored much of the others . I think you have great taste in music though O0 whatever you post from the bunch of artists you've mentioned , I probably won't have heard of most of it .......but it would be cool to hear your favourites 8) I must sound as though I've lived under a rock ;D
I think it is hard to find new music when you've heard it all , I think the most you can look for is someone with a voice that impresses you , even if it's similar music .....music might be the same , but voices are all unique . I think it's the most you can hope for now ....sigh .
Thankyou for posting all the other music , It's been just really enjoyable listening to it all and exploring it for myself :) And , wow , lynyrd skynyrd have been prolific , which is awesome , but I'm still listening to their stuff and deciding what tunes I like . To be honest I think you and Brant have posted a lot of their best tunes already , but when I've had time to pick from the other tunes I'll definately post what's impressed me :)
And I am totally shouting freebird at the next concert that I attend ;D it'll be totally hilarious if anyone else gets it .....and if they don't , it'll be even funnier !!!!!! :DD

Music is the best. To have a thirst for it means always looking for something from it. Sometimes it's the old familiar. Hearing Jimmy Page with the opening notes of Communication Breakdown before Bonzo comes in and Robert wails out, "Hey, girl, stop what you're doin'/Hey, girl, you'll drive me to ruin," to Bruno Mars doing his best James Brown impression on, "Perm." Or going sideways and listening to twee. Or bluegrass. Or jazz. Or whatever comes on next and is interesting. The myriad ways artists continue to shape and mold and rearrange the notes so they sound good to the ear never ceases to amaze me. And it always seems like there is something I've never heard before, if I choose to go looking for it. Awesome.
Now that I've dispensed with the niceties, you have engaged the ol' vanity in asking me to post what I like. So, I will oblige.
He closed the show with this when I saw him and Sting together after Origins. Simply awesome.
And while it's a giant pain in the neck to go back through a thread to the beginning, I've contributed a lot of music to this thread. Should give you a pretty good idea as to my tastes. The avatar is a pretty big clue, too ;)
Spirit of the Radio has been my go-to 'headphones' song for the longest time
Spirit of Radio to this day never fails to get me up on my way.

Nothing wrong with that tune at all !!! It's just a very cool track , flippin awesome :-" O:-)
He closed the show with this when I saw him and Sting together after Origins. Simply awesome.
Wow , he has a great sound . I can see why he was paired with sting , similar sound I think :) that's cool that you got to see them live , your money spent seeing sting probably saved 0.01% of the rainforest , awesome ;)
Yeah , love this track from Peter Gabriel :) I think he did better stuff after he stopped being the front man for what became Genesis with Phil Collins . I have a feeling it wasn't called Genesis when he was with them , but love Genesis 8) phill Collins on drum solos are awesome !!!!
That's a really cool song 8) I liked the switch up in the tune towards the end , wasn't expecting that , it sounded awesome :bd:

These are a few I've listened to recently :
This always puts me in a good mood :)
Was listening to this last night , the title ,mo guile mear , is Irish Gaelic . I've heard diffrent translations , but the one I've heard the most is it means my gallant hero or darling . It's from a really famous Irish poem 18th century . But I think stings version is very cool 8) and the Irish language is lovely to listen to :)
I was in an Irish music mood , lol , but they have amazing vocal harmonies , and this version of this song is awesome :)
This album of Paul Simons , Graceland , is one of my all time favourites , it's one I go back to listen to quite a lot :) love every track on it , but love this song because it's completely unlike any music I ever grew up listening to , I like how diffrent it is .
So that's a bit of a mixed bag !!
I also gather you're a bit of a Zappa fan , your profile pic is a pretty big clue , lol ;)
OK, they're Welsh, not Irish, but there's only so much Thin Lizzy they'll let me post around here

A bit in a hippie mood today :

That's a super catchy tune , very cool 8) y'know I loves me some trumpet and a good beat !!!! That's got it all going on in that song :D I can't believe you've had a thin lizzy ban imposed :DD have you driven everyone demented with them or summat ;D shame no whiskey in the jar .........

I really enjoyed that song , reminded me of a bit of a blondie vibe going on :) I hope your other songs soothed your hippie vibe needs , lol , O:-)
I'm a huge Phil Collins /Genesis fan , and this clip is why , he's just a genius on the drums :wow: this is a drum battle/duel called a conversation with two stools :) to get the full awesomeness of it you really need to listen with headphones :) it starts slow and just builds and builds until towards the end it's AWESOME how he keeps time with the speed he goes , it blows my mind every time I give this a listen !!! And seeing as we've had Wales and Ireland represented , I just gotta fly the flag for England O:-)
Can't resist .....
Sure, he stole millions from his own "Haiti relief fund," but he's on YouTube so he must be an alright guy!

[yt]https://youtu.be/t2zqYC8xKwM[/yt]
I saw them in 1990 in OKC opening for Aerosmith on the "Pump" tour, which about their 8th national date. As good as Aerosmith was, The Black Crowes blew them off the stage that night.
I saw them again on the "High as the Moon" tour, when we were backstage for a bit at the meet-&-greet.
The last time I saw them was at Cameron over on the Duke Campus, and they played their asses off, but sports arenas are not the best audio venues for concerts.

[yt]https://youtu.be/mtLbE3IUY2U[/yt]
Audley Freed, who was also the lead guitarist for Cry of Love, went on tour with The Black Crowes for several years after they kicked Marc Ford out of the band.
Audley used to work at Harry's Guitar Shop here in town, and did the rewiring on my guitar when I had to replace my tone pot.
Cool 8) prefer the song hard to handle , are they southern rockers then ?

It's great to have a pro musician working in a music shop I think , makes you feel like someone knows what they're talking about ....and you know your guitars in good hands ;) did it sound just as good after repair ?

Advanced apologies...
There're more Jan Terri videos out there in the wide wacky internet in the event some of you crave more unseeable delights.
Used to play this for my baby momma.
The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion is one of the best albums I've ever listened to. I also really liked the By Your Side album.
This is one of my favorites from them:
Totally with you on that, B_C. Almost posted Sometimes Salvation myself. Was going to play My Morning Song, but went here instead.
Can only find the Amorica album cover on YouTube's version of P. 25 London. You should really go listen to it. All of you.
Dug these guys before there was a Black Crowes. The whole first album is lost gold. One of the many nuggets:
before there were The Black Crowes

you want some real fun? The Mynah Birds: Neil Young + Rick James
Then James got arrested, joined the Navy instead of jail, and Neil Young headed off with Buffalo Springfield on his way to CSNY
[yt]https://youtu.be/x29oJCS2r20[/yt]
Sounds like a typical mid-Sixties Motown offering. However, the implications of things that could have been had the band stayed together. At least Rick & Neil. MAN that mighta been really good.
A fun little song about car racing
The Texas blues masters playing Chicago blues
y'know, I can appreciate the talent, but I just don't enjoy listening to ZZ Top anymore. There's just so much other stuff I'd rather hear than them these days.
I feel that way about alot of music. Well put, Brant.
My list of "guys who can play but I don't enjoy listening to..." isn't that long, but it's some talented names
-- ZZ Top
-- King's X
-- George Thorogood
-- Mumford & Sons
-- Mudhoney
AC/DC & Lynyrd Skynyrd I immediately turn off.
Anything that's been played to death. For instance, 'Another Brick in the Wall, Part Whatever.'
Pretty much any hair metal.
Def Leppard.
It varies according to my mood. But that's most of it.

I found myself movin and shakin and boppin along to this track :) I thought it had a really nice groove going on 8)
I'm still in a musical Collins mood :) he's playing congas on this track , and FWIW I think George Harrison would have been damn lucky to have PC playing on his ,All things shall pass , track after he left the Beatles , 'cuz Collins can defiantly play them :)
This is the same song , but with a behind the scenes look at what's going on onstage during a live show , I think it's awesome to get a look at the set up and all the work that must go into that :) it's showcasing Chester Thompson the drummer with Phil Collins for 30 years . I believe he drummed for Led Zep and Frank Zappa :)

Not quite as weird as this one

which lead to this utterly immortal moment in parody TV, but only 3 of us here at GH will get it b/c there soccer humour in it...
skip to the last 90 seconds to see the parody
[yt]https://youtu.be/Jl9kLJSX5QQ[/yt]
I very clearly remember that eyebrow ad , mainly because every kid I know ...including my own, tried to copy it , it became a craze annnnnd it drove me crazy !!!! ;D
Soccer......uhm , don't you mean football ;) hehe , that was really funny :2funny: I don't follow the footie , as in I don't really support a team . But I will watch an international match , or the world cup ...definitely watch that , or if it's a match everyone is talking about and there are top class players in it , then I'll watch that too :) I grew up outside of Manchester in the U.K. , so I've kind of grown up surrounded by footie and talk of footie , in my school you either supported MAN city or MAN U . I remember one kid running through our school one day shouting EVERTON .....yep , never saw that kid again !!!! ;D took his life in his own hands , literally the whole corridor of lads chased him , haha , bonkers !!!! And to make it worse he was brandishing an Everton scarf :uglystupid2:
So yeah , I do know who's who in the world of soccer mostly.......so I got the parody , and it's hilarious :DD maybe Wayne Rooney can't move his eyebrows cos he's been using too much of Coleens Botox !!!! :D
Rugby was big in my town as well , massive rivalry between neighbouring town teams .....yikes !!! I used to go and watch a couple of matches b/c we knew the team captain on our team , and he was scarily big , used to intimidate the heck out of me , lol , :)
Hey Pete,

Yeah , I can see where you're going with that , she does sound failrly similar :) I think it's the low soulful sound she has in her voice that's very nice to listen to . I thought that last song you picked was lovely , I liked all three , but the last one with the beach boys sound was great O0 And I think it's great that you have a wide musical taste , I think sticking to just one genre would be really boring . I think most people around here would agree with that :)

^^Yep, it was a pretty sweet show. 3 of the 4 opening acts were good, too. That's an absurdly high ratio.
I'm now also seeing Ryan Adams in June, and will damn well be getting a ticket to Ben Harper in July once those go on sale. But neither of those fit with the current theme, so...

Some of the "driving music" on my gaming playlist.
Great for all the low-level dogfights in the hills on DCS mp. :arr:
Fell down the YouTube rabbit hole this morning:
And here are two songs that really want me to push to learn bass.
Need to fast forward to 3:09 to get to the part I'm talking aboot.
Holy crap, wish I'd known about these guys before!
I think I just found my new favorite screaming rock group. \m/
That's pretty good. I liked the second one a little better, but both are excellent jams. Nice find O0 \m/
Heh, thanks. I just happened to stumble across them whilst playing a mix of NIN and Pearl Jam, of all things.
attack of the 90s songs you forgot (or never knew)
Bloody hell, Brant. Just when I was starting to knock down the excessive number of tabs on my YouTube window, you go and do this to me (and I can't resist because your musical tastes seem to be approximately 85% in alignment with my own). Sigh. :buck2: ::)

I thought Soil's earlier stuff was far better than the other band he left to join (Drowning Pool). Soil just sounded more distinct, whereas the other just didn't stand out much to me. :-\

a little formulaic, but not a bad groove for a Christian metal band
[yt]https://youtu.be/M7lEbeejgOE[/yt]
Good variety.
I give the nod to the rock opera over the Christian metal... barely.
Best of the bunch imo is the Amaranthe video.
'Touch of Grey'- that song brings back jukebox memories of a cop/EMT bar my EMS co-workers and I would go to after 2nd shift finished. Most nights we closed that bar and headed to someone or other's house to keep going. Inevitably some of the female EMTs would drag a few of the younger cops along to the afterparty as well. That turned out being useful when some neighbor called in a noise complaint resulting in an authoritative knocking on the door... :))
New bands! Errr...new to me bands!
There. That should keep you lot busy for awhile. :)
I liked Creepshow. Their look is pretty cool and the girl can sing. I liked All Them Witches, too. But I liked the video better than the song. Very 'Heavy Metal,' look.
Great selection of tunes, AC!
I'm especially enthralled with Dorothy, who I'd never heard of before. Good sound, and I'm in love with the lead singer's voice; simply awesome. :smitten:
I liked The Creepshow and Dorothy; good tunes
He's been around for years, and he's sort of local, coming as he does from Teeside, which is 30 miles(ish) south of here.
Not greatly known outside of the UK, I think.

And since a few people liked them, this is a bit more typical of The Creepshow's psychobilly music style.

Best. Movie. Ever.
I finally figured out that this was the piece being used as the primary soundtrack for
Stellaris' "Star Trek New Horizons" mod; I absolutely love it:
Volbeat for evigt (Forever)
somewhere there's a video of me fronting a band covering this one. thank gawd it's never surfaced... I cannot sing...
[yt]https://youtu.be/-oB-l4t6Yiw[/yt]
pretty sure this isn't an 'official' video since was never released as a single, and none of the video really syncs up with the song.
the weird shit you find down a YouTube rabbit hole
[yt]https://youtu.be/C0X3CLJVMJU[/yt]
I saw that the other day. Bookmarked it for future hilarity.
Who knew a collaboration between the RZA and the lead guy from Interpol would be catchy as Hell?
And just because Volbeat is getting played constantly in the car...
it took me forever to get around toe giving Volbeat a chance b/c their name just sounded a little 'off' to me. Tough to describe, I know, but I like what I've heard from them now that I've given them a listen.

Wow. Not as impressive as some of his covers, but that one is pretty good. The other guy is a hell of a guitar player too.
Funny because Leo's fans have been asking him to do a cover of Africa for a long time.
these guys are coming thru town in a few weeks opening for Foo Fighters, and I'm trying really hard to figure out a way to swing that one.
they're also coming back around as a club headliner later in the year, and much more affordable tickets, but the show is in Wilmingon, and nothing good ever happens to me in Wilmington, so I'm trying to talk myself into going to that one even with the shitty track record of Wilmington behind me.

not a half-bad guess, but not correct.
That's Steeler, with Yngwie holding the guitar, and Ron Keel in the front right (some of you country fans might know his as Ronnie Lee Keel).
The guy in the top right is my former boss from Kinko's, but this is back when he was the publisher of Metal Rendezvous magazine, when he would show up in a lot of backstage documentaries and "behind the music" kind of shows in the early '80s.
If you look at the drummer's shirt, you can see some of the original "Steeler"album logo on it, through the bass player's hair.
Saw Yngwie open for Iron Maiden in '86. Way too flashy for me.
Courtesy of the 1995 Bracket research:
Another 1995 research nugget (Brant approved even!(And probably already posted on this site somewhere)).
yes, that's Dave Mustaine's daughter

I don't know if anybody remembers this belgian band from the early 60's, but the lead singer and gitarist André Van den Meersschaut died today at an age of 80.
This number sold more than a million copies worldwide and is covered many times. (Johnny Hallyday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXs_7vxhl1w / Leningrad Cowboys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn5mjVxnDAw )
Courtesy of 1966 and Stax. A song we wish a woman would sing like that to us and mean it.
A great song until it was corrupted by those damn Red Sox
The Standells were not even from Boston. They were from LA.
Excellent! Fool on them Sox fans!
One of the first 'psychedelic' songs I know.
Now there's a band I haven't heard mentioned in a quite a while.
I stumbled on them back in 1989 or so. My cable package had some weird video jukebox thing where you could call a number and pick one video for $0.99 or three videos for something like $3.99. This was about when MTV was starting to lose its music 'oomph' so sometimes I'd have this channel on. It was pretty random what people chose. I clearly remember I was doing homework at the table when this Kooler Than Jesus video came on and I was ??? through the whole thing, but I couldn't look away. I really like this song but can't say I know much else of their work.
One of my favorite Cream songs
^ I used to think that song referenced one of the band member's NSU motorcycle. I later read that Jack bruce said it was actually about Eric Clapton coming down with'Non Specific Urethritis'. ???
Is that what they called, 'The Clap,' in the 60's?
Quote from: MetalDog on September 23, 2017, 10:49:49 PM

If I remember correctly from my microbiology classes nearly 30 years ago, it actually means the
Not-Clap ('non-specific'). 'Gonococcal Urethritis' would be 'the Clap'. Could be Chlamydia I suppose...
Was trying to figure a way to include this in the '76 Feeder Bracket, but, it's so craptacular I had to share it now.
YOU WANTED THE BEST YOU GOT THE BEST THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD...KISS!!!!!!!
An awesome Warren Zevon tune from 1976
In case you missed him in the RIP thread
My grandpa, he's 95
But he keeps on dancing, he's still alive
My Grandma is 92,
She' loves to dance and sing some, too
I don't know, but I been told
If you keep on dancing you'll never grow old
Come on darling put your pretty dress on we're gonna go out tonight
And dance dance dance

Doing research for 1986. Came across Lilly Winwood's version of her dad's song, "Higher Love," with him on backing vocals and piano. REALLY good version. Check it out.
^very nice
The models are back for another go round with Robert Palmer
One for Brant. Sure he knows this version as well as the original.
Mark Kendall was an early guitar hero of mine. I loved the blues licks in the early/mellower part of "Rock Me" and on "House of Broken Love". Yeah, they were cheesy, but that dude could play.
Supergroup of two prog rock guitar gods (wish their songwriters/vocalists could have joined the project (the guitar parts are fine, but the lyrics and singing are pure 80's schlock))
I see your GTR schlock and raise you utter and complete 80s stadium schlock.
EDIT: yeah, this is probably NSFW as there are some bare bewbs in it, albeit briefly.
is it bad that I hadn't heard that song since about 1987 or so and still knew all the words?
(hadn't ever seen the video tho - I was in Germany when it came out and no MTV over there at the time)

Nope. I'd totally forgotten about this song too and hadn't heard it since friggin' high school, and found it on some random list out there in the interwebz. I played it and it all came back to me, too. :)
equally schlocky, with some Toonces-quality boots on the bassist/lead singer
[yt]https://youtu.be/YRblmA4BDq4[/yt]
^ Back when real men wore knee-high boots and mascara.
That lead singer has a set of pipes on him. I've not heard of these guys, though.

It was the Sunday night alt-rock equivalent of Saturday night's
Headbanger's BallAfter about 1994 or so, when "alternative" kind of took over the mainstream thanks to things like Lollapalooza, the show lost a bit of it's 'alt' edge

From '66, but I realize that i Included nothing from the first Cream album in that year. So, here ya'go. One of my fave Cream songs
I meant this one. But that one ^ is good, too ;)
This has to be my favourite Cream track. Jack Bruce was amazing!

Always liked The Donnas.
What I'd love to see some time is a girl playing guitar in a band that's not all girls. We've had bass players (Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Pixies) but it's really rare to see girls playing lead in a band that's not all girls (Donnas, Go-Go's, L7, Phantom Blue, Runaways)
I was crazyabout this belgian garage band around 1990. The had a female lead guitar and female bass player (picture), rest of the band were guys.

Yep, and Nancy was a pretty solid guitarist that played both lead and rhythm. But the fact that we're 10-12 posts in about this and have Heart, (sort of) Joan Jett, and a couple of Belgian garage-rock bands no one has heard of sort of proves the point, right? And Joan got her start in an all-girl group, too.

German powermetal for the season
I saw Helloween at a local German bierfest back in '83 or '84. One of the guys in the band (maybe one of the road crew?) grew up nearby and agreed to come 'home' for a gig as a favor to his mom. No one knew who they were back then, least of all the horde of Americans who had descended upon the fun.
There was a GREAT documentary on Netflix about Twisted Sister that I watched earlier this year/late last year. Not sure if it's still on...
...oh yeah, it is! :)
TS was the first concert I ever went to.
Wish I had seen them myself.
I got 'Stay Hungry' as a Christmas present in 1986. I loved that album.
Haven't forgotten the '77 Bracket, just had a bunch to do this weekend. Here's a plum to hold you over until the main course.

I grow weary of the battle
And the storm I walk toward
When all around is madness
And there's no safe port in view
I long to turn my path homeward

One of my favorite Skynyrd songs
Mirth with a special appearance of .... I don't know ... maybe .... BoB????? >:D >:D
EDIT:
NSFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember lovin' this song when I was little...Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah
that classic Nile Rodgers guitar sound.... hyperactive strumming, basic chords, syncopated rhythms...
He made a sound that people have been digging and copying for 40 years. I'd say that was pretty good.
MD, Moondance is a fantastic album...thanks again for that recommend. I'm assuming I can't go wrong with any of his other albums, right? Which one do you recommend next?
Glad you liked it! Astral Weeks is considered a masterpiece alongside Moondance. Personally, I am partial to St. Domonic's Preview. I really like Hard Nose the Highway, too.
^ Oh yeah. ABC was an 80s staple.
Part of the good MTV did for me was putting songs in front of me that I otherwise wouldn't have listened to. Doing so, I found a lot of stuff I liked. ABC was one of them.
That's true, though early on you didn't have much in the way of choices. I remember very clearly those first few weeks when it came on and I'd watch every music video multiple times, even the awful ones.
Quote from: MetalDog on October 31, 2017, 08:21:24 PMAnybody remember this?
We had just landed in Dover AFB (Delaware), late at night, rented a crappy Chevy Corsica to drive over the Philly to catch a flight to New Orleans to spend the summer with family in '87. We'd hopped a space-A MAC flight from Rhein-Main to Dover, but still had to get the Louisiana from there. My folks were leaving me and my brother with grandparents for the summer for an extended visit.
It was dark, I was wiped out because of how late the flight way, there was waaaaay more traffic than I'd ever seen, and waaaaaay too many radio stations to mess with - I was working the radio while dad drove b/c mom was crashed out in the back seat w/ my brother. Theoretically, I was 'navigating' but I had no clue where the f&$% we were going, so I was playing with the radio. The DJ had made a comment about "coming up now, the new single from ABC..." so I let it go, and that was first time I heard "When Smokey Sings"
I didn't see the video for maybe another 2 years, but I remember
exactly where I was when I first heard it.

"Why don't you listen to me when I try to talk to you
Stop thinking of yourself for just a second, fool
Shut up, shut up, I don't wanna hear your mouth
Your mother made a monster, now get the hell out of my house
Can't stand it for another day
I ain't gonna live my life this way
Cold sweat, my fists are clenching
Stomp, stomp, stomp the idiot convention
Which one of these words don't you understand
I'm caught in a mosh
Talking to you is like clapping with one hand"

IIRC, that was one of the first songs to hit over 10 million plays on the radio. My former colleagues still working in radio were driven crazy by the repetitiveness, but pointed out that it is one of the very few songs that crossed as many genres as it did, b/c it could be played on lite rock, top 40, adult contemporary, Jack, and even lighter hip-hop stations.
Looks like jacksonville is the place to be in April ;) LOVE that Donna Lewis song.... A LOT :)

You can laugh if you want because it's Creed, but, this album was huge when it came out. And this is a really good song.
Some awesome blues guitar
I know there's plenty of chicks that rock a mean lead axe. My point (like 200+ posts ago) was that most of them seem to be in all-girls bands.

Many guys I know who played in a band did it (at least in part) because it seems to attract women.
Maybe this explains when they start a band it is an all girl band. Would you like to be the only woman on a tour bus amongst a bunch of guys ?
My daughter has been dancing around the living room to Leo Moracchioli covers - Let It Go, Uptown Funk, Shake It Off, Titanium, Bad Romance, etc...
Show her the video of this Gorillaz cover where he dances through a mall in a bunny suit while playing the guitar. ;)
The 'making of' video is interesting, too.
she doesn't know the original Gorillaz song well enough to get into that one
she's also in bed now :)
I just thought she'd find the bunny costume amusing.
And the cover isn't half bad, though I'm in the same boat as she - I know of the Gorillaz, but I couldn't name one of their songs, and I've not heard the original of this one.

Feel Good Inc isn't a bad tune. Dirty Harry isn't bad, either. The others seem a little derivative, like the schtick is only 2-3 songs deep

Not one bad song!!!!!!...... Mind...... Blown :D
My favourite so far is, crash into me. Closely followed by grey street :) :smitten: I can't choose between the others, they're all just equally as good!! And the Dreaming tree is epic!
I can't find some of the albums mentioned, they don't seem to have been released here :-\ I've found only three albums, live in Europe 2009, live in Italy and rio, and one called 'away from the world'.Needless to say, I have those 3 albums now :smitten:
I can't believe they weren't mainstream in the UK! I certainly never came across them, and I followed the top 20 in the UK pretty closely. I think I just found a new favourite band though.... I'm in love with this guys music :smitten: I hope I get to see these guys live one day!! :)
It seems to me that you southern boys sure as hell know good music ;) you guys have definitely produced some awesome bands /music/songs :) thanks again MD for posting their music :)

Ok. Here goes. A couple songs from each album starting with the Under the Table and Dreaming album.
Wow.... Just WOW!!!!! I LOVE EVERY SONG ON THAT LIST :clap: :smitten: thanks for putting that together for me MD O0 it's rare that I like every song that an artist puts out, but every track his band have done that I've listened to I've loved or liked.... Not one bad song!!!!!!...... Mind...... Blown :D
My favourite so far is, crash into me. Closely followed by grey street :) :smitten: I can't choose between the others, they're all just equally as good!! And the Dreaming tree is epic!
I can't find some of the albums mentioned, they don't seem to have been released here :-\ I've found only three albums, live in Europe 2009, live in Italy and rio, and one called 'away from the world'.Needless to say, I have those 3 albums now :smitten:

You are quite welcome! I'm always glad to share music I dig with other people. Especially if they dig it, too O0 You should track down the albums on Spotify or iTunes or something. The album that made him a hit is
Crash. I think it spawned five singles here in the States. And the material they didn't make into singles was pretty good as well.
^^ thanks MD :) I've got those albums I've mentioned from Spotify, but I'll try iTunes as well O0 I'm loving playing his music, and getting acquainted with all things Dave Matthews Band :D

Good job by me, guessing that and all ;)
Between my EMS career and my entry into the field of opticianry I had a series of jobs in bookstores, culminating in my managing one of them. We had a sizable magazine rack with quite a few titles including one called Peterson's Hunting. This was always shortened to 'Pet Hunting' on the invoices :o. One day back then I was shelving 'Pet Hunting' when I happened to flip a copy over and saw a product advert with a row of guys' pictures in mossie oak 'n whatnot with endorsing quotes printed underneath them.
Guess who was right there with a beard, pony tail, and camo baseball cap?
No doubt in my mind O0 :)
A blazing hot rendition of 'I Ain't Superstitious,' by Jeff Beck (with Rod Stewart on vocals) from the seminal album,

Wow..... Really like their sound :D I've never heard of 'blunk' before, but it's awesome, especially loved the last song, bridge to your heart... Very cool 8) it's nice to hear the accent too :) And his female backing singers sound a little bit like Cher I thought, they've got great voices.

Anyone for a "classic" rock tune..... I prefer to think by using the word classic they mean timeless, not old ;D I love this song, but can't seem to find a version of it on YouTube with good sound quality, which is a shame, because it's a bangin' tune otherwise :)

I used to love this song!
Robert Palmer's first hit in the U.S.
Used to love this song, too!
Some funky Earth, Wind, and Fire
Haven't heard this song in a million years!
An awesome song from and awesome movie
Two from Warren Zevon's awesome album, 'Excitable Boy.'
My favorite Journey song (of the two or three I actually like)
Two from one of the all time debut albums
A track I never remember hearing on the radio, but, have since discovered and dig greatly.
Not sure how big Jimmy Buffett is to any of you outside of "Margaritaville," but, if you know another Buffett song, it might be this one:
Two of the greatest live albums ever were released in 1978 just days apart, Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus, and The Band's soundtrack to the Martin Scorcese directed The Last Waltz. You should seek them both out and listen. Repeatedly.
One for my friend, Steelie
One for all of my friends

2. You were a graduate of Millbrook High School in Raleigh (those kids were seriously assholes)

Got something for ya', Brant. A Brooklyn/New Orleans funk/soul band called Pimps of Joytime. Found them on Spotify and they just cook! Couple of videos for example, including one featuring Rubblebucket, another great little band. This time from Brad Posey's, 'Invisible City' music program on the local NPR station. I'll throw one in by them, too.

That's a nice range of music. I've had playlists that had Frank Sinatra, George Winston, and Godsmack together.
Growing up by the beach in the 70s put a soft spot in my heart for Loggins and Messina. When I was about 18 (in 1979), I worked as a dishwasher in a restaurant that had a small bar. For entertainment, there would be a guy playing a guitar and singing mellow hits. He'd come on when the restaurant was winding down and I was finishing my cleanup, and listening to him helped me pass the time. I always cringed when he played G-L-O-R-I-A, and liked it when he played Margaritaville. He probably played Loggins and Messina, but I don't remember which song he played. These songs take me back to that time.

Gotta agree with Brant on this one. Phil has a pretty good ear for what is going to sell, and there's nothing wrong with that, but, the pursuit of sales usually coincides with some real stinkers that still make money some how. And I have nothing against a man and his piano singing. I dig Billy Joel, Elton John, Steve Winwood, ELP, Genesis, and a lot of others that have keyboards in them on and on. On top of it, Phil chose to cover a song where the original was better (and, mercifully shorter (kind of like Phil himself)).
How about some Smithereens?
Setting aside the OVER-THE-TOP DESCRIPTION ( ::) ), I'm rather enjoying this instrumental rendition:

Ok guys , I take your point on board that he might have had his eye on the cash here instead of the music . But I still don't think the song is as bad as you're both making it out to be .But that's probably because I'm a Phil fan ,and you guys aren't .which is fair enough :)

Yeah ,I think that's a great song too :) funny you should mention the drumming , because that's how I got into his music in the first place . My cousin married a drummer , and I have another cousin who is also a drummer . They both got me into genesis/Phil Collins when I was a teenager , because they'd play his music for me on the drums :) And they both loved him as a drummer , and a singer , but obviously they came at it from a drummers perspective . But to hear his music played live by two drummers is pretty flippin awesome !!!!! So I have those memories of his music burned into my brain 8) I'm always going to be a fan :)

Great band! I used to have 'Blood & Roses' and 'Wall of Sleep' on my VW Shirocco's default mixtape back in the day.

YES! Great band!
While I was doing the '88 research last night, I came across that song and I thought, 'Didn't they have a few songs I liked back then and why am I just now wondering that?' So I looked back to the first album and found 'Behind the Wall of Sleep,' and 'Blood and Roses,' and listened to them both all the way through (which I don't normally do as it would take me for EVER to do these Brackets otherwise). And I remembered that I really dug those songs. So, when it's time for some Spotify, I am going to track down the first two albums and jam O0

You're gonna ditch Phil Collins :knuppel2: And pray do tell me kind sir, what is wrong with a guy and his piano singing his heart out
nothing, when it's not cheap tacky chart-focused bubblegum crap
Gotta agree with Brant on this one. Phil has a pretty good ear for what is going to sell, and there's nothing wrong with that, but, the pursuit of sales usually coincides with some real stinkers that still make money some how. And I have nothing against a man and his piano singing. I dig Billy Joel, Elton John, Steve Winwood, ELP, Genesis, and a lot of others that have keyboards in them on and on. On top of it, Phil chose to cover a song where the original was better (and, mercifully shorter (kind of like Phil himself )).
Ok guys , I take your point on board that he might have had his eye on the cash here instead of the music . But I still don't think the song is as bad as you're both making it out to be .But that's probably because I'm a Phil fan ,and you guys aren't .which is fair enough :)
Pretty cool having musicians in the family. Even cooler that they turned you on to Genesis. But I am a Peter Gabriel guy, and in that Genesis, Phil is just the drummer. Don't get me wrong, I dig a lot of what came after Pete left,
Trick of the Tail,
Duke,
Abacab, all good albums with Phil singing. It's after
Abacab that I have a problem.
Genesis was the beginning of the end. There's some great songs on there, but, 'Illegal Alien,' is just a terrible song. Or at least say it hasn't aged well at all. And
Invisible Touch, outside of, 'Tonight, Tonight, Tonight,' and 'Land of Confusion,' is just pure cash grab. And it just gets worse from there.
"What's your favorite colour?"
Summer of '89, only had my license a few months... cruising out to Lake Lawtonka and Mt Scott and making s'mores over one of the built-in grills at the picnic area
It was the first time since 1981 - and one of only 3 times in my life - that I went back to the same school in the same town with at least half of the same people

Public Enemy in full effect
saw these guys live in Charlotte in '92, supposed to be opening for Pearl Jam, but Eddie's voice was shot so they refunded us half and let us in to see FFN
Couldn't go back when PJ came back thru to honor the original tickets

Public Enemy is just awesome. Good to see them being appreciated.
Two killer tracks from one of the all time metal albums (and the best show I ever saw).
A favorite of mine from a favorite of mine
Edited
"Antisocial" was the song that turned me onto Anthrax. My favorite tune of theirs from that era was "Indians"
But what do I know - I have no taste...
[yt]https://youtu.be/RzpRU347BDU[/yt]
I always thought 'Indians,' was kind of a response song to, 'Run to the Hills.'
you might be right - never really thought of it that way.
then again, Run To The Hills kind of answers itself w/ the 2 different parts of the song
True enough. Maybe a companion then rather than response.
Dylan's big song off the first Wilburys album
Heard of the band, never heard the song. The YT comments section says it's most prominent use is from, "The Mist." They call the style DarkWave. Not my cup of tea, but, something I am sure others here would appreciate.
A blast from the R.E.M. past
I have to admit, this actually is pretty epic:

The band has (had?) somewhat more approachable songs as well but each is still somewhat 'mythic' in overall style. One half of DCD (Lisa Gerrard) went on to write scores for movies such as Gladiator and LOTR. If you can find it, their live album 'Toward the Within' is very good.

Hi MD ,I didn't realise that you actually liked some of the songs that Phil has song before ...pre Abacab . Maybe you've mentioned this in the past , and I've just forgotten ! I have one hell of a lousy memory ! So I do apologise for my reaction ...I'm sorry :) I just get fed up of the hatin' on Phil , especially when I actually enjoy his songs /music/singing /drumming . I read his autobiography, and I just think he's been misunderstood a LOT ! I know he probably hasn't helped his own cause ,when he's maybe concentrated on cash sometimes rather than the music . But , the book gives you a true sense of how much he loves music ....he's a true music fan . His early life is amazing , just how many great musicians he hung around with as a teenager , like cream , like the yard birds before they became Led Zeppelin , the Beatles ...others that I forget now . But he loved those bands and wanted to emulate them . And maybe the music business sucked him in and made him lose his way a bit .....but his musical heart has always been in the right place I think . He holds his hands up in the book ,and apologizes for the times when maybe he made the wrong choices musically ......he has no problem admitting his own mistakes . And I'm not saying all of this to somehow make you come over to my point of view , because I do respect your opinion . But the guy isn't here to defend himself .....and that sucks :-\ Plus I enjoy talking music with y'all O0

Buick Makane segues into Big Dumb Sex at the end
Sweet Jane was recorded by Velvet Underground, tho Lou wrote it and played it solo a lot more than that.
here's one I forgot to include
[yt]https://youtu.be/NOOtzQ_mfKE[/yt]
T. Rex did Buick Makane. Don't know the rest of what you're talking about. And I almost said Velvet Underground, but, I know the song by Lou Reed (and I know he was in VU).
Quote from: MetalDog on December 04, 2017, 09:02:30 PMT. Rex did Buick Makane. Don't know the rest of what you're talking about.
The GnR tune is a medley of Buick Makane (T Rex) and Big Dumb Sex (not T Rex), which is why I was referring to partial credit O0
Quote from: MetalDog on December 04, 2017, 09:02:30 PMAnd I almost said Velvet Underground, but, I know the song by Lou Reed (and I know he was in VU).
Yep, Lou wrote it, and VU recorded it, and after VU, Lou played it a lot (and, IIRC re-recorded it at least 2x as a solo artist). But it was originally recorded as a VU tune :)
Yeah, the video said, 'Buick Makane,' so that's why I said T. Rex. If it had also said, 'Big Dumb Sex,' I would have said, "I don't know". You don't actually think I listened to the song, do you? ;)
Going to get these two out of the way from the beginning. These were super mega humongous in 1998. Not a fan of either, so, they will not be included. However, I do like to acknowledge music that is almost meta in its ubiquity.

well, that
was kind of the idea... you never know what you might like :)
I'll give you that. Doing research right now and by the time I get back around to them, they'll buried 10 pages back. Can I take your word for it?
Another one that's just got to go.
Here's a song that folks will have trouble pigeonholing:
I'm going to say the Everley brothers wrote little suzie. And the only reason I know that, is because I was deciding a couple of nights ago which version to add to my play list.... And it got me thinking, who the heck did write that song anyway????? Mr Google said Everley brothers :) And that's the only reason I know!!!!!!!
My take on desperado, is that I much prefer to hear a man sing that song. I listened to the Linda Ronstadt version, and it's good. I also like other songs that she sings, great voice. But I LOVE listening to the eagles do that song..... Nothing can top that for me :)
That was a great list of songs you posted Brant O0

Oh geez, yeah you're right... My bad :hide: I saw the tesla title and just assumed it was wake up little susie! I've listened now to the tesla track, and it's really good O0 never heard it before, so have no clue who did the original ??? You gonna tell us then or what ;D or am I gonna have to Google ;)
BTW... That version of tears of a clown you posted is Whaaaaaaaaaay better than the original by smokey Robinson. That version drives me insane, can't stand it #:-) I heard it so much as a kid, I think I have an aversion to it.... It's torture!!!!
I really like blondies hanging on the telephone. My favourite song from her is heart of glass :)

cool - thanks for the catch. I'd never heard Hugh's version.
Absolutely O0 The only way I had heard of Hugh was through Eric Burdon & the Animals's, 'Monterrey.' When I was doing the research for '68, I ran across the name, Hugh Masekela. I investigated and realized that I had heard, 'Grazing in the Grass,' before. The syndicated morning show, 'John Boy & Billy,' use it as a rejoin bumper.

Have you checked out Haynes's other band, Gov't Mule?
I most certainly have ;)
Have you seen their Pink Floyd covers?
I have not. But I am not a super huge Floyd fan.
Have I posted this before?
Dunno. Has this one been posted before?

I used to listen to that CD a lot.
In the late 1980s, Linda Ronstadt released a CD as a tribute to her Mexican heritage called
Canciones de mi Padre. It was one of the first CDs I bought when I bought my new-fangled CD player, and I loved it. I grew up and still lived in southern California at the time, and traveled to Mexico frequently, and had heard a few mariachi bands. Here is one song from that CD.

She does have a fabulous voice that's for sure :) I don't know to much about mariachi bands, apart from the usual cliché of them playing around people's tables in restaurants! I do love listening to songs sung in spanish/Portuguese though, even if I can't understand half of what's being said, lol. I blame my grandma for making me listen to Julio englasias when I was a kid... And now I like his sons music Enrique, because of that :) your trips to Mexico sound like a lot of fun O0 and once again I'm jealous that you grew up in sunny california near a beach! Although I live near a lot of beautiful beaches now, so I'm good!!!!!! I love anything to do with the beach, and I actually learned to swim in the sea when I was about 6 or 7 :)
I've just thought of a mariachi band scene in a movie that i like, must people seem to hate this movie, but I love it :smitten: a walk in the clouds, this is the music from the scene I really love....
^ Nice. Haven't listened to Talking Heads in a long time. Good song. O0

I'll admit to enjoying
A Walk in the Clouds as well. Keanu's performance isn't bad, but it's the rest of the cast that really shines. I liked Aitana Sánchez-Gijón as Victoria, and I felt Giancarlo Giannini's turn as her father was especially well done.

Yayyyy... Finally! Someone who gets what a great movie this is O0 And you're right, the cast make this movie special. Personally, I love Anthony Quinns performance :) I love how he sizes the whole situation up from the very beginning, and then just very calmly keeps everything together for everyone. I like keanu in the matrix flicks, but haven't watched them in ages! But I think he does a good job in this role to in this movie.
And I agree, I like talking heads too :)

Holy crap... it's amazing what you'll find on Youtube these days
These guys were in no way famous. They were a college bar band in Austin back in the late 80s who had 1 "tour" around Texas and ended up playing a gig in Wichita Falls that some of my friends went to our senior year and brought back the tape. Someone digitized a tune from an analog cassette from a nobody band from almost 30 years ago just to stick it on Youtube.

Hah. Prior to listening to Slipknot, tonight my wife and I were re-living the 70s -- The Hustle, Disco Inferno, Play That Funky Music.
That's great timing then! I'm doing the research for 1979. I always start with the year end Billboard 100 for that year. It's usually filled with, "It's got a good beat you can dance to," type tunes. '79 is certainly no exception ;)
Peaking at Number 5 for two weeks in July, 1979 for David Naughton
And now let's slow it down a bit and dance real close with the Bee Gees, 'Too Much Heaven.'
And a second Number 1 by the lads, from February, "Tragedy."

I was 18 in 1979 and graduated from high school that year, so I'm expecting to know every song that you choose. I'm looking forward to it -- even the disco songs!

yeah, but that's a cover song. It's like Gene Simmons doing "When You Wish Upon a Star" - it's over-the-top and obnoxious, just like Kiss were at the time. But Back in the New York Groove was never really a Kiss song.

I love this song from kiss :smitten: it's unbelievably catchy , it's one of those songs i have to repeat when I listen to it ....it's THAT good :clap:
I absolutely loved this song, especially back in 1985 when it came out.
White Nights was something of a mind-blowing film for me...Gregory Hines (RIP) and Mikhail Baryshnikov dancing. Gregory, because I thought of him as a comedian - I still cannot look at him without thinking of
History of the World, Part I, as that is the first time I ever saw him in anything. Also,
Running Scared, one of my favorite movies ever. And Mikhail moves like physical poetry. The movie was amazing and the music video catches a lot of the power it holds.
It still blows me away that Gregory has passed, and that it was 14 years ago. Even stranger is his fiance/partner, Negrita, whom was a body builder, died of cancer too a few years after he did.
Jeff Lynne is a pop genius!
A song I had forgotten about
When I do research for the Brackets, I use the list of the Top 100 songs according to Billboard for that year. I also go month through month of albums released that year. And there is such a disparity, at least for me, in what was popular and what I like. That's why I had so much disco up a few days ago. That's what was on the charts in 1979. As soon as I started checking album releases, I came upon that Joe Jackson song and the Elvis Costello one I am going to post. I like them infinitely better than most of the Top 100, but it doesn't make one better than the other. Just blows my mind what variety and range of music people can like.
Anyways, Elvis Costello
Here's one you might know that doesn't involve huskies or yellow snow.

Drags out a bit, but the first 2 verses or so are excellent
There was a kid I went to high school with who was a big Triumph fan. Glad it touched off something good for you.
More proof that Jeff Lynne is a pop genius
One of the things I loved about MTV was the small amount of videos they could choose from initially. Got a whole bunch of stuff in front of this young man's eyes that I never would have otherwise heard or known about. This is one of the gems. And you might recognize the guys name.
Another great list of songs there people O0 I enjoyed the listen, as always :)
I had completely forgotten about this song. Not The Kinks best effort, but, mildly amusing.
Just a lovely, beautiful song
A little something for the Parrotheads in the audience
As close to a normal song as you'll get from Frank. And it's pretty good, too ;)
I love the muted trumpet riff on this one... such a groove :)

Styx's biggest hit in Europe
Along with the biggest hit off the same album here in America
For some reason, whenever I see Prince he always reminds me of Lester Patel, from 'Chuck'.
^Never saw, 'Chuck,' so I can't corroborate. I believe this is in your wheelhouse.
Listening to that just sent me down a nostalgic rabbit hole filled with the likes of Johnny Thunders and Stiv Bators. Sigh...
Glad I could help! Merry solstice :)
These are worn-out pop favorites, but I still like them this time of year.
An album the certainly deserves the accolades accorded to it. Any listener of 80's AOR radio couldn't fail to know half a dozen or more songs from the soundtrack. Unfortunately, it got old for me quickly. Especially Another Brick in the Wall Part 2. A couple of lesser known, but, still familiar, tunes.
There's a lot of ZZ hate here. I get the played out aspect. Most of what they do that comes on the radio immediately gets turned off. But they were pretty down and dirty for a long time. A cut from Deguello that cooks

Not sure if we included this song in the Power Ballads Brackets that started this whole thing back in March or April, but, I am trying to avoid songs used there in any of these Decade Brackets.
^why do you hate me?
Even as late as '89, that cheesy synth sound was still around. As much as I dislike Nirvana, I gotta give them credit for moving stuff like this and hair metal off the stage and into the backwaters.
^^
I heartily approve of any post that includes Candy Dulfer
This was somehow the 44th best song of 1989 according to Billboard.

At the time, that really only consisted of Kingdom Come, but they were selling big and opened the US Monsters of Rock shows, so they were on top of everyone's mind
If you want a clone that's a
really bad rip-off, pull up Rhino Bucket and mix in their songs with early- and mid-80s AC/DC and see if you can tell the difference
Kingdom Come was the most obvious, but a host of Zeppelin's 'children' populated the years following their inception. Including an attempt by Jimmy Page.
A funny little ditty. And hellacious to play on Guitar Hero.

My second daughter was born in 1989, so I was up to my elbows in diapers and rugrats and I didn't listen to very much music.

That was the U2 I liked. Once they got huge over here, I got tired of people telling me how great they were and that Bono was a genius. So I actively disliked them. As I've gotten older, I appreciate more of the stadium stuff now than I did then.
Still one of my all-time favorite songs from the 90's. While obviously anything gets old when listened to repeatedly, I could probably listen to this one multiple times far more than I could most tunes:
^^^ The first time I heard that song was on the radio, as I was driving thru Memphis on my way home from my freshman year of college.
^ that's actually really cool! And, yep Martok, that song never gets old for me either. Cher does a really good version of that song to, I can listen to either.

Nice slow dance song from the Beatles :)
wow, id forgoten about that - read some weird ass conspiracy theory tosh over christmas, and one of them is that McCartney is dead and has been for years - the band liked to take the piss out of its fans about it and this is one of the theorists piece of evidence - he has no shoes on because hes an angel
Are you really hearing about this for the first time? There was a big deal back in the late 60's that, "Paul is dead." There are dozens of clues scattered throughout album covers and songs. Just from the pic you are seeing on the back of Abbey Road, the clues are: 1) the license plate on the VW Beetle says 28If in reference to how old Paul would be if he had lived, 2) each of the Beatles the way they are dressed signifies something, George is in denim which makes him the grave digger, Paul is in a suit and no shoes, which makes him the corpse (and the no shoes is because they don't bury corpses with shoes), Ringo is dressed in black which makes him a pallbearer, and John is dressed in white, which makes him the preacher, 3) Paul is out of step with the other three Beatles, which further signifies he is dead because if he wasn't, all four Beatles would be in step.
There are boatloads more references in songs and other album covers. I know quite a few more if you are interested.
Yeah, back in the days of turntables, we used to spin them backwards to hear Paul talking from the grave.

I think someone needs to tell Paul he's dead then , because he seems to think he's very much alive ! #:-) that's one of the craziest things I've heard :wow: next they'll be saying Elvis was standing in for Lennon .....when they were both dead ! ::)

He's an LMD....
Here's some more off the top of my head:
1) The other side of Abbey Road, you can vaguely see a skull faced shape in the dappled shadows
2) If you turn the Magical Mystery Tour album upside down, the stars in the album title supposedly reveal a phone number you could call to get details of Paul's death
3) The song I Am the Walrus is an ode to Paul. The walrus in some native northern societies is considered a symbol of death
4) In the song Glass Onion, John sings the lines, 'I told you 'bout Strawberry Fields, the place where nothing is real, well here's another clue for you all, the walrus was Paul'
5) Speaking of Strawberry Fields, if you crank the volume during the outro, you can hear John supposedly say, 'I buried Paul.' When asked about it, John swears he is saying, 'cranberry sauce.'
6) Acknowledging trailrunner's post above, if you play Revolution Number 9 backwards, you supposedly hear, 'Turn me on dead man.'
7) The cover of Yesterday and Today, Paul is sitting in a trunk. If you turn the cover on it's side, it makes Paul appear to be in repose in a casket.
8 ) The song, A Day in the Life, contains the line, 'He blew his mind out in a car,' which is a supposed reference to how he died.
Those are all just off the top of my head. There's more, but I'll let you look them up yourself.
That's just bonkers ...interesting , but bonkers !!! I think it's like undercovergeek said further up the thread ^ , the lads from the Beatles knew about this conspiracy theory that Paul is "dead" , and they just played up to it , because it gave them a laugh !

I think someone needs to tell Paul he's dead then , because he seems to think he's very much alive ! #:-)
He's an LMD....
That explains why his face is so expressionless most of the time ..... :o
Quote from: trailrunner on December 31, 2017, 09:47:43 AM
Yeah, back in the days of turntables, we used to spin them backwards to hear Paul talking from the grave.
I actually thought you were joking about that , until MD explained that people did listen to records backwards ....or that song in particular ???

Are you really hearing about this for the first time? There was a big deal back in the late 60's that, "Paul is dead." There are dozens of clues scattered throughout album covers and songs. Just from the pic you are seeing on the back of Abbey Road, the clues are: 1) the license plate on the VW Beetle says 28If in reference to how old Paul would be if he had lived, 2) each of the Beatles the way they are dressed signifies something, George is in denim which makes him the grave digger, Paul is in a suit and no shoes, which makes him the corpse (and the no shoes is because they don't bury corpses with shoes), Ringo is dressed in black which makes him a pallbearer, and John is dressed in white, which makes him the preacher, 3) Paul is out of step with the other three Beatles, which further signifies he is dead because if he wasn't, all four Beatles would be in step.
There are boatloads more references in songs and other album covers. I know quite a few more if you are interested.
seriously, first time for me - so who is the guy we all know as Paul supposed to be?
Just a lookalike.

A huge hit for Jennifer Lopez.
Proving once again that what's old is new again
More proof that I was raising girls in the 90's. No other way I would know this song ;D
A video for a certain frame of mind
I tell you what, you may not like rap in any style, but, the best examples sure know how to pick a song to sample.
I forgot this is where we got Mr. Jessica Simpson from.
A terrible song. Which is why it was popular, I'm sure. A little catchy though.
Of that whole playlist of songs you just posted MD , the only song I've never heard of before is LFO summer girls . And whilst giving it a listen ,I heard a certain boy bands name mentioned .......

So imo it's a decent song ;D ;D ;D looks like you're already wrangling the '99 bracket into shape for the voting , nice one MD O0 Sixpence none the wisers song is a favourite of mine from the 90s , and I actually like listening to Will Smith rap , but then I grew up as a teenager watching him in the tv show 'fresh prince ' , so I've always been a fan , GO WILL !!!, LOL ;D

One for Windi. Cuz I know he likes country
Another one. In case you liked the first one.
Country was solid in the Hot 100 in '99
And this song was a monster that year
Anybody who had kids, or was a kid, in the 90's remembers the Rugrats. This is off the movie soundtrack. Always liked this tune (and Rugrats, too) ;)
Some good old, sh*t kickin' country!
Cannon Ball!
BTW, I saw the Butthole Surfers live at the Ritz in NYC. It was quite a show.
Some Claymation and a heavy beat

That was a great song to listen to! I really like Bear Mcrearys work, he's a great composer. I enjoyed the listen :)
This song by Bear Mcreary is about bonnie Prince Charlie and the battle of culloden Moor. It's based on the second jacobite uprising in 1745. An attempt to put the young Prince on the throne of England, which his dad James had lost to his daughter Mary and her husband William of orange.
Anyways, a great song sang in Irish gaelic.
Letters to Cleo are also the band in the club and the guest at the prom in 10 Things I Hate About You.
They also do the cover of I Want You To Want Me at the end, and the cover of Cruel To Be Kind at the prom scene
[yt]https://youtu.be/_QjT3u_m3a0[/yt]
[yt]https://youtu.be/2ouGtW_5d6A[/yt]
of note - that soundtrack also has 2 pretty good songs by one-hit-wonders everyone loves to hate:
FNT from Semisonic (famous for Closing Time)
[yt]https://youtu.be/SYmdoaB71Do[/yt]
Your Winter from Sister Hazel (famous for All For You, but Happy was sooooo much better)

Glad you licked it! It's even better when you're familiar with that particular scene from the 2004
Battlestar Galactica TV series (as

Ironically, *that* I knew. It was their older song "Here and Now" that had been erased from my memory -- I suspect because I never made the connection that they were the same group. :-[

10 things I hate about you is one of my favourite films. It's based on Shakespeares taming of the shrew, which is also one of my favourite plays by the bard :) There is a much older movie... Very cheesy, lol, with the actor who played the lead role in 7 brides for 7 brothers, Howard Keel taking the lead. It's called Kiss me Kate. It's a musical!!!! Lol, and it's not got a modern day setting like 10 things I hate about you, but I still like to give it a watch every once in a while :) The soundtrack from the heath ledger and Julia stiles movie is good :)
I've never heard the other song before, your winter. I think it's a lovely song, I really like it O0

Yeah, I don't know the scene you're talking about. I think, In the past I've tried to find somewhere to watch that series, and just couldn't find it. I've heard it's good :) I have the theme music from it somewhere, on something, and it's just a guy playing the theme song on piano, it sounds beautiful.
That's cool about your Irish heritage O0 I understand some words of gaelic, but that's just because I live here and have picked up a few words and phrases along the way. I just love listening to the language though, and gaelic singers have just a lovely unique tone to their voice I think. The whole river dance album is fantastic if you're into gaelic music.
The best movie version of Taming of the Shrew is the old Liz Taylor version back when she was still a hottie
So this dude re-recorded Teen Spirit into major chords. My brain is now confused

I've lost track of the husbands, lol, I'm sure he still thinks she's a hottie ;) you can't be a goddess of the silver screen and lose all of that allure and charm, even though her looks have changed. Some people just ooze with charisma.... And that's attractive at any age I think :)

I believe you're correct,
MD. It's not a song I remember well, but it did start to sound familiar as I was listening to it.
(Another good song, btw. :) )
^Staggerwing posted it in this very thread many moons ago. And I swore then that I would make it a FRIDAY song some day. I just never seem to get to start'em anymore ;)
Funny, I just listened to Crash Test Dummy's 'Superman's Song' today. Had it on my playlist forever but it hadn't popped up until today.
That was about the time I first became aware of Denis Leary. I was at an age where that was a badge of honor. I try to be less of an a$$hole and pick my spots now.
Good one 'Chargin-pussy'

One of my favorite Zep songs. And yes, Bonzo is really playing this with four sticks ;)
OK, so she's over-enunciating some, but that's what she does. Why can't the Joss Stone Temple Pilots be a real thing?!

^ True. The previous lead singer isn't gettin' any warmer.
Watched Burnt last night... not bad but my wife was not impressed... to be honest this song over the final credits was probably the best thing about the movie....
Three things:
1) I agree with his neighbor
2) He might want to leave out the, 'Kid lover,' part and seek help
3) You owe me 4:28 of my life back
;D
Thing is, MD, in my research for the crappiest of crap songs, it's kind of sick what I'm uncovering. Sort of like overturning a rotten log in the forest to find all the squirmy critters underneath.
Someone finally got this on YouTube....
^ Love that movie.
Never saw it. Never had any idea of its existence until just now. But any movie where the fictional band has the sense enough to use John Bonham's son to play drums is a must watch
The rest of the fictional band is Zakk Wilde (Ozzy / Black Label Society) and Jeff Pilson (Dokken)
Saw that on the IMDb page. Less excited about those names ;)

Nice TV concept : artists cover each other's songs.
http://strayvoltage.blogspot.com/2008/05/thinking-about-cover-songs.html
back in 2008
QuoteI've been thinking about songs that would make good cover tunes. Let's face it, no one really expected The English Beat to cover Tears of a Clown by Smokey Robinson, but it works.
However, I've come up with a twist - the artists have to trade songs. So here are a few suggestions:
Van Morrison covers Thorn in My Pride by The Black Crowes
The Black Crowes cover Cleaning Windows by Van Morrison
Mindi Abair covers Righteous by Eric Johnson
He covers Come As You Are by her
Train performs Not Even The Trees from Hootie & The Blowfish's debut
Hootie covers Calling All Angels
Bryan Adams takes a crack at Daylight Fading from Counting Crows
They turn around and cover She's Only Happy When She's Dancing
Whitesnake does Jealous Lover; Rainbow does Fool For Your Loving; Roger Glover gets totally confused.
Sheryl Crow sings Keep the Faith by Bon Jovi. He belts out If It Makes You Happy.
There's plenty of fun to be had by all here...
I remember having this conversation around that time back at WGer, but they've pulled the plug on the archives that were over there at old.wargamer.com/forums/
This year is season 4 of this rather successful TV show (and no competition or televoting involved and no one is send home early !)
7 artists spend a few weeks together away from home and each week 6 cover a few songs from the 7th.
Some of the covers end up being bigger hits than the original versions.
P.S. Can't access the blog (requires a Google-blogger account).
The entire blog post is quoted above, so no real need to follow the link
And that show sounds fantastic
Agreed! O0

Around 2012 they changed lead vocals and have Floor Jansen (from the Netherlands) in the band who has a bit less of that opera sound.
The previous singer Tarja did sing in the Savonlinna Opera choir.

^ You know what's funny about that?
I'd never heard of these guys before. Well...maybe I DID hear them, way back in the day, but I sure don't remember them or this song. It came up on a YouTube play list and I thought the song was pretty damn good.
You'd never heard of Public Image LTD, lead by John Lydon (AKA Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols)? :o
Rise was big on in the College Radio scene when the song came out, but of course College Radio was very different back then. Much more cool music, much less politics, unless you count what was in the music.
I'd heard of the Sex Pistols and Johnny Rotten, but I didn't listen to much of that kind of thing until later in life.

For those of you that might not know, Black Star Riders were a Thin Lizzy reunion w/ a new singer standing in for the deceased Phil Lynott. When they decided to start recording some new material they changed their name out of respect for Phil's legacy.
Of all their new material - holy shit this sounds almost just like Phil singing, and in a blind audio test, you'd swear this was an unreleased track that was left over from the Dedication sessions.

My co-worker and I were just having a good conversation about recent changes in the workplace and reflecting on a project we've worked on, and I said "it's just one of those days" and they immediately knew what song I was referring to. :(

Not bad- much more like what heavy metal should be as opposed to past years' over-produced derivative emo cash crop.
Halford's really got that Anton LeVay thing down pat.
Honky-tonk piano, early Katy Perry-esque vocal; its a great beginning. Gets into an harsher Billy Idol groove... 6 stars out of 7!
Very close to Janis Joplin..... very cool....

Bawb, when the question is "what was the first live concert you ever attended", I usually win the conversation hands-down considering my answer is.....Elvis.
But brother, if anyone might have a better card to play than Elvis, it's you. Let's hear it, Bawb.
Oh, blimey - I'm honestly not sure. I did see a few who were only to become 'famous' later, and many who were well know at the time but then faded into obscurity. I'll have to have a good think about that. I certainly remember seeing T-Rex when they were called 'Tyrannosaurus Rex, and were an acoustic duo. Also, being in a band myself, we sometime played support to groups who were well known at the time but long since disappeared - such as 'Simon Dupree and the Big Sound'.
It was also often the case that i would miss seeing some bands because we ourselves were playing.
Its all been a long time ago.
Luv ya, Bawb, but I'm claiming the top of the mountain with Elvis until knocked off O0
As a matter of trivia and simple oddness, Elvis was also the first concert my Mom attended, back in the fifties when he was young Elvis, not fat Elvis. As a further matter of trivia, Elvis lives in my basement and is about to eat me out of house and home. One of these statements may not be true. :-"
Much as I love Zeppelin, I never heard a live recording I liked. Even remotely. I did see Plant twice. He played a little Zeppelin the second time, but, his high register twas shot even back then, ca. ~ '89.

I admit defeat, Steelie - I can't top that :notworthy:
I'm not greedy, Bawb. If you want to let Elvis live in your basement, I'll put him on a plane :coolsmiley:
I thought he was driving a bus on the moon?
Pretty sure that's Pink Floyd, my friend. I will say Elvis was paying rent until they closed the K-Mart he was working at. What we need here in Oklahoma is an S-Mart, I think. And maybe less of my cross-posting multi geek references. O0

Just heard this on a random Spotify playlist. Forgot how much I dug it until right that second.
English Beat had waaaaaaay more good music than people gave them credit for
I feel the dolts running the music business back in the '90s made some poor decisions considering the primary song(s) to push on the radio for some bands. They fronted the more mediocre ones and left the greats little-known.
e.g.
and especially..
Good riddance to mediocre publishers. :cowboy:
Even more drastic examples of poor selection...
Everclear's selected radio tracks were largely asspie. These ate their shriveled scrote.
I'm a big fan of the Toadies and Everclear. I saw Everclear twice in the early 2000s. I had a chance to see Toadies in 2008, but it didn't work out.
One of my friends, Johnny Ray, is the vocalist for this group's debut album, so I figured I'd share. O:-)
It's a power-metal song with (somewhat literally) hot babes -- but it isn't "about" what it looks like it's about, exactly. ^-^

Here's the game gents, go to Wikipedia and type in, '(the year you graduated) in music.' Click on the, 'Albums Released,' link and scroll through it. The goal is to pick 5 songs (or as many as the YouTube wormhole brings you to post). Ready? Here goes:

Listen once and it will be in your head for days.
Number one in most of Europe (but for some reason no hit in the US)

Transformers go a'viking?
Hey MetalDog, do you know this one? It was rare back in the day and could only be found on european releases of Hair of the Dog in place of Love Hurts. It's a Randy Newman song but done right.
Never heard it before right now. It was good, just not sure I see why it was chosen over 'Love Hurts.'

Actually, Guilty was the original song on the album but the US release featured Love Hurts. I'm not sure why. My brothers friend gave me the album and it wasn't until years later when I saw a US version that I realized Love Hurts was a thing. Spotify does not have it. It's one of the few songs I searched for on Spotify that I couldnt find. That and Ted Nugents Papas Will.

Then I started a record collection and the money I spent......Back in the early 80's I remember paying 30 and sometimes 50 bucks for some out of print albums. They wouldn't be worth crap now even if they didnt get ruined in a flood. Heck, the Guess Who Live at the Paramount cost me $50 back in the day for a mint and a sealed Badfinger Straight Up I think I paid 60. Now everything has been re-released and remastered, screwing it up in many cases.

Not a particularly good day here. Only one thing to do. Play some uplifting music.
It sucks because most of this stuff was before my time and rather obscure so that I didn't discover it until later
Moreb, stick around for a minute. I gotta take care of something and I'll give you some more, "obscure," stuff.
I'm here but having problems. I ran a command to run my pc in tcp and don't know how to switch it back to udp so now those videos don't show up.
Post away while I try to fix it.
Working now. What ya got Metal?
Hang loose one second more. Fetching them now.
First up, another T. Rex classic. One that I am not sure a lot of Americans are aware of. Certainly not to the level of 'Bang A Gong.'
A favorite of mine off
Electric WarriorBackground vocals on both albums were provided by Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (who were also members of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention). Both men are famous for singing this song:
Stevie Wonder is funky as hell!
Innervisions is rightly recognized as a seminal and influential album.
Talking Book and
Songs in the Key of Life are great as well. 'Sir Duke,' was one of my favorites growing up.
Stevie always reminds me of this guy, Sly Stone. A tortured genius who burned bright and fizzled ignominiously. Made some kick ass music though.
And here's some mean ass funk that spawned a thousand rap songs.
When I saw 'Spill the Wine,' (which is a favorite of mine, too) I immediately was going to go Steppenwolf. Then I saw Santana in the suggested videos of 'Spill the Wine.' Then I knew.
Still going to go Steppenwolf, too. This is actually three songs, 'Monster/Suicide/America.' Political commentary from 1969.
OK, that Slider song was incredible. Never heard it before. I forgot about Jeepster though. I loved that album.
And that funk of Sly has been imitated by so many people.
Now the Turtles were a little bit too bubblegum for my tastes. Good song and well known but not one I'm too crazy about.
Thanks Metal. I really enjoy these exchanges.
You a Floyd fan?
I see you posted The Monster. I remember the album art of that being killer. I'd put that with JD Blackfoot The Legend of Crazyhorese
I see your BMW and raise you a great guitar intro
Here is a couple rough and raw songs I like.
and a video I made on an account I no longer have.
I haven't heard 'Winning,' in a million years!! Love that tune! Saw Santana in '88? '89? Maybe '90. it was definitely one of those summers. Played in the rain for two hours. Blew us all away.
I have a love hate relationship with Floyd. I love quite a bit of their stuff (saw them in the early to mid 90's (best light show EVAH!)), but, I hate
The Wall. Here's a couple early ones I always dig.
Glad you dug, 'The Slider.' Had a cassette with Electric Warrior on one side and the Slider on the other when I was a teenager. I wore that sh*t OUT!
The Turtles was just to illustrate where Volman and Kaylan were from. A point of reference if you were so interested.
I dig funk tremendously. Sly is a pioneer in that field. Soul, too. You ever hear this song?
Nice looking video you made. Not much of a country rock fan. And I really do not like the Eagles, soooo... I do dig some legit country boogie piano and honky tonk type stuff.
Hehe. What a great set there. I know a little is one of my favorite LS song (again, great intro) and Trudy is my favorite CDB song by far.
Free Four is incredible. Such a happy sounding dark song. Waters is a strange cat indeed. I know that Sweet Soul Music but never knew who sang it. I dig the horns for sure. Since you aren't a fan of the Wall, which was pitched and written before Dark Side of the Moon strangely, you probably wouldnt care for Waters first solo album which was a concept album also. Where it shines is that on guitar he had Eric Clapton and David Sanborn on horns.
I'll leave you with a small diverse set.

I'm off to bed but if you have some more post them tonight or tomorrow and I'll check them out at work. I work with a radio every day or headset at least.
All right people. You've got The Clash, Rick James, and a little bit of Deep Purple. What more can you ask for? 8)

Back to CDB, they sure like singing songs about the mistravels of parts of the Sunny South back in the day.

Along with 'Trudy' these two make up my three favorite CDB songs.
You a Little Feat fan?
Even if you're not, 'Waiting for Columbus,' is one of the best live albums of all time.
Shannon Curfman doing a great Clapton song. Give this one a try. I really dig it.
Oh hell yeah on Little Feat. I love this version. Very raw and early one morning. Not the best quality but I cannot find this anywhere. I believe it was just a test tape. On waiting for Columbus my favorite is All That You Dream.
The funny thing about the pic in that CDB is that I have an AR setup almost exactly like that one. Forward assist, rails, eotech($$$) optics, tactical flash suppressor, foregrip, Flip up irons, telescoping stock. I don't have the flashlight though but do have a laser set to 50 yards.
Gun guy I am not. Sounds like you know what you're talking about though. Saw you put some Sam Cooke up earlier. This kid is from Birmingham, Alabama. The whole album this song is on is pretty good. His last release is much more contemporary sounding. Dig this tune though.

The Clapton cover is good. Really like the song she covered, too. 'All that You Dream,' is a really good song. I like 'Spanish Moon,' and the versions of the two I posted earlier. The live versions are the definitive ones for 'Dixie Chicken,' and, 'Willin',' as far as I am concerned.
Not bad at all on the Bridges tune. He sounds like someone familiar. It's on the tip of my tongue but I can't put my finger on who. I gotta listen again.
Ok . I listened again and I still can't place it but now I'm hooked on the song.
Sam Cooke, maybe?
Quote from: MetalDog on March 06, 2019, 12:06:10 AM

Sorta, but not who I was thinking. You from Bama?

He's a good Alabama son.
One of the grungiest, awesome guitar intros EVAH!
Richards is completely underrated IMO. Great tune. My older brother is 53and I just recently got him to admit that the Stones area great group. Took him forever. He's kind of a dick though but he did get me into classic rock.
The live version of Midnight Rambler Richards wails. The horns are great on knocking too. I like my music like I like my politics. Very wide ranging. From blues to bluegrass and most in between. Except rap. Can't spell crap without rap.

QuoteI was going to start the FRIDAY thread with that this week!!!
Some jerk beat you to the punch. It was dirty but I came in early. But like a gentleman, I'm waiting a couple months for a turn again.
Metal, I don't think I'm much of a Zappa fan. I know of Joe's Garage and the one with the yellow snow but other than that nothing. But yesterday a Zappa song came on the radio and it was incredible. I never knew he was such a good guitar player. He was just never in my wheelhouse. Now If I could remember the name of it....
Frank is an incredible guitarist. I could give you multiple examples of his virtuoso fretwork. He's also had some great great guitar players come through his bands. His son is no slouch either. Look for Po-jama People, Watermelon in Easter Hay, Punky's Whips (the live version with Terry Bozio on drums). There's a million of them, but, those'll do for now. And don't sweat the FRIDAY thread, start one any Friday you'd like.
I really like the music in this. From the horn to the keyboard and the guitar. Still not a fan of his style of vocals/singing.
and here is that song i heard
Ok Crappy sound quality but needs a listening.

I've been intrigued by the landscape in the opening and closing of the vid. Any idea where it is?
That would be the fine province of Saskatchewan. The urban shots are of Regina and a little bit of Calgary (in Alberta).
I knew you would know. Another trip to add to the bucket list.
For our good neighbors up north;
AND
The original version of War Pigs called Walpurgis named after the Holiday and in the song all hell is let loose. The record company thought it too satanic and it was turned into an anti war song.
I don't always listen to Black Sabbath, but when I do, so do my neighbors.
I really dig the bridge starting around 2:15. Wicked lyrics.

I listened to that Warhola. It reminded me of these two.
Good Stuff. The Cocteau Twins were another of 4AD Records' groundbreaking bands, and yes, lots of lead singer Elizabeth Fraser's lyric really were not actual words but musical vocalizations.

I heard this passing by on the radio and I thought this was an old song by The Ronettes or by Ronny Spector but I found out P.P. Arnold has a new album.
You probably know her from Angel of the Morning (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US94q0e20Us) but that was released in 1968 !!
I've just discovered a fantastic metal band called Edge of Paradise. They're pretty inventive and also quite different musically (they describe their music as "space metal" apparently), but their ace in the hole is definitely the singer - she is
extraordinary! I haven't been able to stop listening to them all week.
Here's a song, Electrify from the album Universe, that showcases the singer pretty well:

The band reminds me of the Dutch Epica (https://www.youtube.com/user/epica). Maybe you will like them as well.
Haha fair point.
Yes I'm definitely aware of Epica, they're about as big as it gets in the symphonic metal scene! Formed from the ashes of another favourite band of mine, After Forever. :)
A chill vibe if you're looking for one.
I may have put this up before, but I don't think so.

Who'll ever win?
Gee, you're just so ephemeral
Go back for new
For new in vain, it failed
Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or Las Vegas
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me
He's a hustler
It's a role, he'll never make a suit
Hang on to this
So stay and spin and fail and fail
Who'll ever win?
Gee, you're just so ephemeral
Go back for new
For new in vain, it failed
Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or Las Vegas
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me
The chill must itch in my soul
That's like any old playing card
It must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
It's why it's more brighter than the sun is to me
Furthermore, let's blast it off
I'm dizzy so I go, another bit it off
Come fantasy, for a carnival
I'm empty before our wedding
Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or Las Vegas
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me
The chill must itch in my soul
That's like any old playing card
It must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
It's why it's more brighter than the sun is to me
Maybe there, while you was rail
I'll go in and seize your heart and be personal
I suspect I'm singing to you a tune
And still you find the beat and sing it to you soon
Not sure why, but this one's been stuck in my head as of late.

Spotify Celebrates 100th Dollar Given To Artists
NEW YORK—Proudly declaring that they never thought they'd see the day their vision would finally be realized, streaming service Spotify reportedly celebrated Thursday the platform's 100th dollar given to artists. "When we launched Spotify in 2008, our mission was to reward artists when customers listened to music, and today, we finally reached three figures in artist payouts," said Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, posing with a giant check for a $0.00000029 payout to Dua Lipa for her song "Break My Heart" that propelled the world's musicians past a collective $100 in earnings. "This is an absolute milestone for a musician-oriented platform like Spotify, and confirms what we believed when we started, which is that music-streaming platforms can be a reliable way to help bands and artists earn pennies or even nickels for their work. But this achievement is really about the artists on our platform. Spotify couldn't have done it without you." To celebrate the occasion, Spotify also reportedly unveiled a new commemorative playlist of its highest-earning artists, with all proceeds from plays going to Spotify.

Never in my life, young or old, have I understood the fascination with Jagger. Love Daltry, love Plant... but Jagger always came across to me as just, spastic. I truly believe his "dancing" was the inspiration for Elaine's dance moves on Seinfeld.
I love Jagger and The Stones - Under My Thumb just hits that groovy sweetspot too. One of the first albums I ever owned was the Rolling Stones Hot Rocks 1964-1971 - every single track on there is just legendary. For me, anything by The Stones after 1971 is 'new' and 2nd tier to what came before.
I wish I could say I'm drunk posting this but I'm not. You gotta love this! ;D
I have to quote one of the comments on this video that made me a little misty eyed.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH VALERIE..... We sang THIS SONG IN COMBAT nonstop. Especially at the part, "No turning back, it's much too late, to go back now would be a big mistake!" It was OUR good luck song, and I served 5 tours of duty. We ONLY lost one Marine, and I'm PROUD of that, especially with all the fire fights we endured. God rest his soul. I myself was wounded on my last tour, shot 7 times on my right side. I lost both hips and cannot walk normal, but I'm home safe and sound. I was well taken care of at Bethesda, 5 EAST, God bless those doctors and nurses. Again, THANK YOU VALERIE!!! Semper Fidelis, Captain T, U.S.M.C."

'The only band that matters,' son.
I've heard the song before so I dug out my only Clash CD. Was a two CD set Story of the Clash released in 1988. This song is the first song on the first CD!
^Pretty cool!
Watch Clash on Broadway, about their first visit to NYC around 1980. They loved the burgeoning rap music scene and Magnificent Seven is sort of their ode to it.
I did not know that. I'll have to check that out. IIRC my wife may have the soundtrack to Clash on Broadway somewhere in the house. The only thing though I think it's on cassette tapes.
There's the movie too!
this is a hell of an opening track for this kind off dj set.
^Nice
haven't heard this sound in a looooong time. :RockOn:

^Good tune!
And now a word from our sponsors.
Looks like Kim follows the same school of thought for shooting videos that "The Cars" do. Very stiff and little emotion... jeesh.

Well bad music or not beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all.
Now I'll take the drummer and skirt guitar girl from the beaches and the drummer from the donnas and call it a day.
And hey, before you judge I'm wed not dead. Doesn't mean I can't look at the menu even if I'm on a diet. :ROFL:
Pete Dero you have to be kidding.

Classic rock, classic car, mixed with modern technology.
a BMW 2002 in one of my lottery cars.
Honestly some of the modern day car modders can really turn an old car into pure gold.
One of the most underrated bands of the 80s and 90s...not sure if I ever posted this here.
^ Didn't remember that one but I loved Joey.
I don't like dance music very much but I was a fan of this Belgian band in the 90s :
One of the few dance acts where the female singer can really sing !
Joey...baby!!!
I like Concrete Blone... never heard of them other fellers.. :Party:

They were a bit better known in the US with their alter ego : Lords of Acid
(NSFW)(13 weeks on Billboard's Dance Club peaking at #4 on 1/11/1992)
And now for something completely different :
Slipknot fits right into my 'younger day's jam'
Like some of the visuals in the Lords of Acid though (insert drool icon here).
fuck me! I havent listened to Lords of Acid in decades.

You'll be yelling at kids and clouds next.
Old skool dance mix. Man I completely forgot about this one.
uhhhh.... ..... nice boobs in that video?
^Not bad, not big, but not bad.
I discovered this song today.
Good Vibe. :ThumbsUp:
^I love mashups and that one is done well. :ThumbsUp:
Some of the comments are gold.
"This just punched 50 years of music in the taint."
^Hahaha is that a good thing or a bad thing hahaha
I dig the mashup so I'm going good taint punch?
I just watched it - 'tis great :RockOn:
It did not affect my taint one way or another, though :Nerd:
Too calloused?
How dare you. A man's taint is...something or other.
Tainty?

:TimeOut:
This one's even more gooder! Double taint punch.
:Applause:
The Nuge!
the more I watch that video, the more I expect Westley Snipes to come out and stab the singer from Steely Dan and make his skeleton explode.
I swear that dude is half vampire.
^Earth, Kiss, and Fire! That's so awesome.
And now some Concrete Blonde
I love that band :smitten:
Former girlfriend talked me into going to a Sting concert in 1990. Opening band was Concrete Blonde. First time I had even heard of them, but was hooked from the first song. Other opener was a percussionist and vocalist named Vinx... also pretty amazing. Turned out to be a great show.
It's funny how I consider them just a one-hit-wonder band. Sure they had other successes, but IMO nothing quite as hitting as Joey.
Speaking of blondes...
I love every album by Concrete Blonde and actually saw them in concert once, they were excellent. The lead, Joanette Napolitano, was quite hawt in her time and she had some solo albums that were very good too.
Drugs and time took a huge toll on her and the band.
Whatcha think of Warpaint? Some people compare them to Concrete Blonde.
^I...don't know anything about Warpaint...I don't think I ever even heard of them :undecided:
Not everyone's cup of tea. I don't mind them though.
I almost get more of a Julee Cruise vibe than Concrete Blonde but I like them. Hadn't heard them before. Thanks!
My first jukebox post ever! Heard part of this song on radio recently and discovered station keeps a running list of songs played.
Noah Kahan, Dial Drunk

Hope that worked. It didn't.
^My daughters love Noah Kahan. I saw him live this summer - venue sucked but he was great.
That is a hella' good 1st post there bobarossa! :Hug:
LOL @the comments again.
"It's like a mix of Woodstock '99 and a Gap commercial."
slaps harder than a disappointed pimp
More nostalgia than the Antique Roadshow
SDR is on fire today :ROFL:
