finally a man with taste

if its pink floyd were talking about, i think the best are: time, wish you were here, hey you, the trail.

i just started listening to king crimson they are AMAZING, and to think that they are from the 70's.. they play heavy rock, which probably mean that the style of today was shaped a lot by them...

I am listening to Ummagumma right now :)

Meddle was one of my favorites.

I like Velvet underground very much, but British music is what is moving me most at the moment, as I'm missing the UK! Waterloo Sunset, Sympathy for the devil, Gimme Shelter and the Pink Floyd songs were touching, also, I listened to a lot of Belle and Sebastian living there, so humour me: [MEDIA=youtube]3HCox24nrlk[/MEDIA][/URL]

Here is a video of Jerry Douglas' band doing a snappy instumental called "Patrick Meets the Brickbats". Note to Allison - it does not seem to have effected his fiddle-playing, but do not get the spiked mohawk.

Briscoe Darling - "Alright boys! Slimey River Bottom!"

Charlene Darling - "No, Pa! That one makes me cry!"

BTW, the band of slack-jawed silent "boys" was played by The Dillards. The talent was real

Okay, this might not reach quite up to "the best songs ever", but it is at least the best song ever made by Culture Club:

(Those cameramen must've been like "omg he has l33t skillz!1one". (The first 1:50mins is great but some people might not like it)

When did he shave his head?

 

[Gelsamel Epsilon]

I'm not exactly sure, but I like him better with a shaved head then with his long hair.

If you like stuff by the stones, aerosmith or guns n roses you should have a listen to a band called Hanoi Rocks.

They where an awesome band that got struck down just before they made it big when their drummer got killed in a car crash.

 

[turbo]

Holy cow! I just found this one, and though the video quality is poor, the sound is pretty good. Some of the finest rip-em-up bluegrass to be had!

I am sure that opera is not the favourite music of most people, but it sure is for me. Here's the one and only Luciano Pavarotti with "Una furtiva lagrima" (basically : "a secret or well hidden tear") :

How 'bout this big time Mozart Action : Queen of the Night from the Magic Flute. This entire opera is just a sequence of musical masterpieces...

This is another extract from the Magic Flute with "die drei Knaben" that guide Pamina, Tamino and Papageno. I am the small guy on the right. I WAS 11 BACK THEN :smile:

The soprano is Kathleen Battle, she is hot...

[Yonoz]

We've just had the Jewish new year and soon we'll have Yom Kippur. Every year at this time http://www.blogmusik.net/?urlIdSong=31643" sticks in my head. It's based on a prayer that's recited twice in the new year services and once on Yom Kippur. I'm very secular but both the song and the prayer that inspired it are very touching. Here's a translation of the relevant part of the prayer:

On Rosh Hashanah will be inscribed and on Yom Kippur will be sealed how many will pass from the Earth and how many will be created; who will live and who will die; who will die at his predestined time and who before his time; who by water and who by fire, who by sword, who by beast, who by famine, who by thirst, who by storm, who by plague, who by strangulation, and who by stoning. Who will rest and who will wander, who will live in harmony and who will be harried, who will enjoy tranquillity and who will suffer, who will be impoverished and who will be enriched, who will be degraded and who will be exalted.

Congregation aloud, then chazzan:

But REPENTANCE, PRAYER and CHARITY

Remove the Evil of the Decree!

Congregation and chazzan:

For Your Name signifies Your praise: hard to anger and easy to appease, for You do not wish the death of one deserving death, but that he repent from his way and live. Until the day of his death You await him; if he repents You will accept him immediately.

Chazzan:

It is true that You are their Creator and You know their inclination, for they are flesh and blood. A man's origin is from dust and his destiny is back to dust, at risk of his life he earns his bread; he is likened to a broken shard, withering grass, a fading flower, a passing shade, a dissipating cloud, a blowing wind, flying dust, and a fleeting dream.

Thankyou for posting the opera, and lovely choices. They are hard to match, and there’s so much to choose from, but I can’t help adding some more all the same. Following the lead with Donizetti and Mozart, and adding Bizet, here are

I'd had to go quickly, forgot to add that I liked Yonoz's song and it was nice to learn about, and also, was that really Marlon as a child? Sweet.

I was going to put this even before I saw your post. I agree it is a great song, but Bowie doesn't do my favorite version of it. I don't even speak Portugese, but there is a guy named Seu Jorge who did a bunch of Bowie songs in portugese on an acoustic guitar and I love em. Here are my favorites:
