UPDATED: Suggest that funky music, white boy!

UPDATE:
OH YEAH! ITS STAYING UP AAAAAAAAAAAAALL WEEK, KATS AND KITTENS! MAYBE EVEN LONGER!!! SO DIG OUT THEM 8 TRACK TAPES AND DUST OFF THAT MP3 PLAYER! SEND IN THOSE PLAY LISTS!!!!


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?

    I've never commented here before, but I have to agree with oread because Sneaker Pimps and Massive Attack...hands down two of my most favorite groups. Love them.

  9. Beast: a 5th of beethoven! ah, the memories that ELO, um, doesn't quite bring back! *cue bong hit sound fx* as for klaus nomi...well, what CAN one say about klaus nomi, really?

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

    SSA: I like both those. out of the two i have to say I like Massive Attack better. its like coming up out of anaesthetic, only without missing parts!

    laken: well hello laken, and hello to your little underpants there too!
    yeah, my girl has damn good taste. the last three cd's shes given us are total winners. and if that wasn't good enough, her husband, the Lucky Bastard, rocks the fucking house down!

  28. *puts quarter in juke box and points at geosomin to get out on the dance floor*

    "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..."

    i dont hang with those dudes at all.

    ReplyDelete
  36. 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 ;)

  38. Led Zep - and not just because Planty once sat next to me and my dad at a QPR v Wolves game 30 years ago.

    Also try Elbow - underrated support band to the likes of U2 and REM for years, now cracking it in their own right.

    ReplyDelete
  39. 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.

    Oh 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...

    Having 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)
