Wow! One failed music meme = a whole weekend listening to your excellent musical suggestions (and a few real stinkers, but hey, we can't all be ballerinas.)
OK. Y'all have suggestions. And complaints.
"Why didn't you include brit faves 'The Overproduced Sellouts' singing "I Got Drunk And Sat On The Side Of The Road And A Policeman Talked To Me'?
Where's 'Rabies Vector' by 'Alvin and the Chipmunks?
And what about the Iggy Pop version of 'Unchained Melody'? "Fine. I have a comments lounge....use the sucker. Feel free to include as many suggestions, links and titles as you want!!! IMPROVE THE AIRWAVES HERE AT RANCHO FIRSTNATIONS...AND AROUND THE GLOBE!!
What music should we REALLY be listening to?
im a huge abba fan.... nothing wrong with that is there... on friday cheese and i put almost the entire greatest hits album on at our local redneck bar and danced for the better part of an hour... by the time we were done, there wasnt much room on the dance floor.
ReplyDeleteget your abba on!

ReplyDeletevoices: around here, 'Closer' by NIN IS christmas music. One year we listened to Tangerine Dream. (oo! more electronica!)

ReplyDelete"You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance..."
What about Grace Jones
ReplyDeleteIve Seen that face before if you like a bit of argentinian Tango with a regea back beat or Slave to the Rhythm . the new Album Hurricane is getting rave reviews as well
EVERYONE! EXCELLENT! (except for voices, but he probably works with IMRON or something.)

ReplyDeleteIf you wanna know mine, go to my place and look!
ReplyDeleteWait - I like the Monkeys.
ReplyDeleteAnd Knudson, Kylie is like Shania, it's best to watch the videos with the sound turned off.
IMRON???
ReplyDeleteI Masturbate Randomly On Nachos
is that the IMRON your talkin bout?
i dont hang with those dudes at all.
voices: IMRON is that heinous industrial paint that causes psychosis. boatbuilders and big equipment guys fall prey to it all the time. you're a big equipment guy, right? from what cheese says anyway ;)
ReplyDeleteohhh, those guys, no i dont hang with them either...
ReplyDelete*grabs paper bag and breaths deeply for a few moments, turns and walks away. can of paint falls from back pocket*
Led Zep - and not just because Planty once sat next to me and my dad at a QPR v Wolves game 30 years ago.
ReplyDeleteAlso try Elbow - underrated support band to the likes of U2 and REM for years, now cracking it in their own right.
Um... since I kinda provoked this thing in the first place, can I just say that Led Zep is the most overrated band in the universe.
ReplyDelete[runs]
The Ramones are the greatest rock an roll band of all time....
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I'm no good at these "what should I be listening to? please add your suggestions" music things because that exposes me as having absolutely no taste in music at all...
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, most of the suggestions here are pretty good (well I don't know if they're good or not but I listen to them too), but as far as adding my twopennorth worth to the mix - at the moment I'm going through an acoustic phase so I'm listening to (amongst other things) Van Morrison's Astral Weeks (predictable I know), Nick Drake, John Martyn, Django Reinhart (because he makes me think of summers in the south of France), that Murray Head album with "say it ain't so on it" because I've loved that song ever since I was a little girl and lots and lots of lots of Chris Whitley (especially War Crime Blues).
and because I like to be self-indulgent and make myself homesick I'm also listening to Lindisfarne's Lady Eleanor, Sting (sorry - but there are 3 songs on his soul cages album that just remind me of home so much) and loads and loads of Francis Dunnery's the Gulley Flat's Boys...
Of all of them though it's Chris Whitley and Francis Dunnery that have been getting the most play here (well in this room anyway - F has completely different musical taste to me)
Hurrah Mr Footman spoke the unspeakable
ReplyDeleteWell done sir
