What music are you listening to?

Avison/Scarlatti - Concerto Grosso No. 3 in D Minor

I find that music which relies on lyrical poeticism is unsatisfying compared to music which conveys emotional meaning through music rather than poetry.

Just Gerry Garcia? What about the rest of the Grateful Dead?

Some more that I think might bring back "fond" memories: Crosby, Stills and Nash (sometimes with Young); "classic" (pre-1980s) Chicago; early Styx; the Rolling Stones; Three Dog Night; Pink Floyd; the Eagles; Dylan...

Yeah, yeah! I'm totally down with this. How about Traffic? Cream, maybe? B sides of course.

I suddenly remembered to listen to The Black Keys again, after my daughter was playing it yesterday (having nicked back the CD she bought me for Christmas).

But I'm going to see the Jim Jones Review tonight ...

Roll and Roll :eek: :cool: :D :p

Each year we have a party with our family, our friends, our kids and their friends, so it's an eclectic playlist as people keep swapping their bloody iPods on the deck.

This year I'm planning 'special sets' for various people, myself included, so I'll post some of my selections (in no apparent order, and for various reasons) that might or might not make the list ... as it's a party, and a dance party, Arvo Pärt and ambience generally will not make it, I fear (maybe a trance or chiilout set for later?)

So here's the genesis of my list ... feel free to suggest.

Alabama 3: Woke Up This Morning
Don Henley: Boys Of Summer
Canned Heat: Let's Work Together
Savoy Brown: Train To Nowhere
Mick Jagger: Memo From Turner (from the movie Performance)
Sonny Landreth: Back to Bayou Teche
Neville Brothers: Yellow Moon
Wild Cherry: Play That Funky Music
Elvis Costello: Watching The Detectives
Dexy's Midnight Runners: Geno
Robert Palmer: Johnny and Mary
Icehouse: Hey Little Girl
The Passions: I'm In Love With A German Film Star
Ocean Colour Scene: The Day We Caught The Train
Elkie Brooks: Sunshine After The Rain
Bellamy Brothers: Let Your Love Flow
Joe Cocker: The Letter
Marc Almond: Tainted Love

Something by The Beatles, The Stones, David Bowie ...
 
Thomas, if you ahve teenagers there may I suggest Pink or Rhianna........ teenage boys like Linkon(sp?) park etc. (In my experience, that is). If it was my mob, it would be all Jimmy Barnes, AC/DC, Prodigy, the above ones mentioned, and for me, ZZtop, the Cars, Meatloaf, ........oh dear, i think I am showing my age........... lol

Now you're talkin'!

In my experience 'the children' collapse long before the 'grown-ups', so I'm thinking of putting on this list at some dreadful small hour of the night.

But there needs to be some serious reggae and ska added to the list ... The Beat: Can't Get Used To Losing You, for a start ... and Madness: Our House.

ah madness.................. love madness. I even had a couple of madness badges, back when you wore every badge you had at once. lol. .......... ska..........Hmmmmmmmmmm the "alnighters".........and of course UB40......oh the memories.........lol.
 
Horatio Hornblower, an old-time radio show (the others that were on were Lum and Abner, A Man Called Paladin and Command Performance with Betty Grable and Jack Benny.)

if Trent Reznor had any musical talent i'd give it a listen ;) actually.. i have all of his work, demos and all that kind of thing however there are not enough power chords in his music to satisfy my need to rock out till the anger is rocked out.
