There's just something about this tune, the melancholy, the whimsical whistling, the simple lyrics... it's such a good natured song all in all. :)

 

[Chi Meson]

Feeling the mid-life crisis right about now (good news is that I should make it to 94 years old!). Going through my 80s music, and re-rediscovering these gems, and finally I get to see the videos. Meet the Verlaines from New Zealand

I know that I linked this before, but the song just came up on the carousel, and I had to listen to it a couple of times. It's that good.

Is somebody a fan of 8-bit music here?

Once again, I probably linked this before, but it just came up on my CD carousel. K D Lang is a killer!

Primavera by Ludovico Einaudi. It goes so well with Feynman's voice :p.

 

[turbo]

I'm certain that I have posted this before, but it just came up on my CD carousel, and it's one of Boz's best numbers. Here's a live version. Saw Boz at the Patriots' stadium along with Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles. He was the opener for the other "star" acts, and he stole the show.



BTW, the backup band for the studio version of the Lido Shuffle went onto form Toto.

I had to post this. Not Clapton's best, but a good one. Back then, an electrician used to hang out and talk to me at the control room of the paper machine. When he would get paged, it would sometimes be to the PLC room (which was called the White Room) and as he got up, he would start singing that song. One of my wife's friends has never been married, and I never knew until recently that her step-father was my electrician-friend. He had a stroke recently, and I had my wife remind him of the White Room.

 

[turbo]

I wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves...

BTW, he had had a stroke mentioned earlier, and music is a way to get some of that back. It sucks to get old, but the logical option is not all that entertaining.

I had never seen this performance of two of my favorites by Jackie. Hopefully Evo won't ban me! I can't help myself Evo!

Almost a year since I watched her first video and she still blows me away. I have the photo of Jackie and me, along with other concert collectables, framed and hanging in my office. My one customer calls it my Jackie shrine. Fact is it was one of the most enjoyable evenings I've ever had. Nevermind that the collection is already worth more than that very spendy ticket cost me.

I suspect you're exaggerating but why would you be banned for this?

I'm not sure... the first fifty links didn't seem to bother her. She said if I post any more vidoes of Jackie she's going to ban me!

An old one that I heard at the end of the movie "The Savages". (An almost grotesquely good movie by the way - by the end of the movie I'm still wondering, "Do I hate these people or like these people?", but, come to think of it, I sometimes wonder that about my own family - but I wish they didn't bring up Parkinson's disease so often - my dad has Parkinson's.)

Anyway, the song:

I like a LOT of different music, so I wouldn't be able to pick out any best songs ever, my list would contain 100+ songs . But here's a particularly good performance IMO (turn up volume if necessary);

Zero 7 - Home (acoustic)

Original song:

How 'bout a bit of Stevie Wonder?

Yes, that's a great song, cool sound, very groovy. Hadn't heard it in a while.

 

[Curious3141]

Posting in the "Favourite Music/Bands" thread reminded me of how much I love these two songs by Opeth. They're the first two songs off their album "Watershed", in order. They're far from being their very best songs (they have so many great songs!), but these two songs really showcase the Jekyll & Hyde nature of this great band, which can move effortlessly from heart-rending tenderness to absolute brutality.

So here it is: Coil, followed by Heir Apparent (the second track starts around 3:10).

OMG Out of all the "rock" concerts I've attended, Supertramp was by far my favorite. You are one luck dog.

I've never been to a Supertramp concert. Hopefully I'll not fall over dead/sleeping during the set.

ps. The guy that gave me my free ticket, handed me the zoo list.

I missed Leo Kottke...

I almost stabbed myself.

Best Song Ever is Addicted..

Do you mean this one? (Kelly Clarkson)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rx20pWkyac

So far I've found five other artists or groups with a song called "Addicted": Saving Abel, B5, Simple Plan, Enrique Iglesais, Amy Winehouse.

EDIT: I going to guess it's the Saving Abel song. Your post sounds like the kind of thing a hardcore SA fan might say. Of the six songs, five are mostly about relationships, Only one is an unrepentant, in your face song about substance abuse. Guess which one that is.

 

[turbo]

I really like Lovett's music and this is one of my favorites (live version).

 

[dlgoff]

I've never been to a Supertramp concert. Hopefully I'll not fall over dead/sleeping during the set.

Hello! You there? Still alive? So how was it?

I didn't think you could dance to his music. But I did, for two hours. It was more like conductor dancing though. I've only ever owned one of his albums, but was cuing each band member flawlessly through every song.

It had been 40 years since I've been to the zoo, so I was 10 minutes late, as I had difficulty figuring out where to park. But I was told I only missed one song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfApBz4_XQk

But given the talent of Roger and his band, all you really have to do is pop in the CD, and you were there.

Kevin Adamson; Roger Hodgson; Aaron Macdonald; David J. Carpenter; Bryan Head (ref)​

The only peculiar thing, was that the drummer performed behind a glass polygonal booth during the entire show. Roger explained that this was for the audience's protection.

ps. Rudy was wrong. Sometimes good things come to those that wait.
