I'VE GOT IT!!!
Close enough.
THAT is what I was trying to say, but I suspect you knew that all along.
He'll correct me just to see if I will take the time to explain myself. Keeps me on my toes though. ::
Here's my list
Eddie Van Halen
Eric Johnson
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Angus Young
Jimi Hendrix
Having to list only 5 is quite constraining. Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, Steve Howe, Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, and David Gilmore are all great guitarists.
"Strange Dreams" is the only song I have heard by Frank Marino, but the guitar work is good. I searched for this song for years only finding it on Napster several years ago. I've never seen anything in music stores by either Marino or FM and Mahogany Rush.
Peter Frampton's work on "Frampton comes alive" is also some really good guitar stuff, but that's all I've ever heard from him. Did he even make anything in the studio? I'm sure he did, I just never heard any of it. Kind of my loss.

The hand symbol
is really the University of Texas 'hook-em horns' sign done with both arms. Let's give some credit here to my school. Here's something the list didn't mention.
Cannibal Corpse released the single,
"The Pickax Murders (the bi*ch was askin for it)"
amidst protests from women's and victim's rights groups.
OK, so I made up the protesting part. I used to date a death-metal fan and always thought it was a funny title for a song even with the violence it talks about. He was actually a pretty cool guy who just liked that kind of music. The song was #6 on one of Canibal's CDs and whenever I was doing something he didn't approve of he would say,
"Remember #6" then he would make the rock-on
sign for effect which was what reminded me of the song. -
Aaaaack. I just got it. Outkast replaced "Hey Ya" with "I Like The Way You Move." I'm 70% sure. (Can you be any less than 100% sure? I always thought if you were sure of something, there had to be no chance you were wrong. There has to be a better way to express the probability of surety.)
So it wasn't George Michael??? ::

I once heard it said that there are only two types of people in the world, Paul people and John people. That everything else comes out of where you align yourself with those two.
Paul people are more likely to leave when things get tough
John people will let romantic interests come between friendships
Paul people belive they can get through life with a song and a smile
John people can be so idealistic that they annoy those around them
Things like that ::
Seems a little simplistic though
-
The Cure?
Yes, that was quick. Were the clues too easy or are you a fan?

William Hung
1. Male lead singer wears make-up
2. First single was actually a reference to a book by Albert Camus
3. One album's title consisted of the same two words, repeated three times
-
Will someone please just post the answer so I can stop looking at this thread.
I might know the answer to the identity of the mysterious third artist who has done this.
It was George Michael with
"Faith" replacing
"I want your sex"
(sarcastic)
Right?
My real guess would be Elton John who at the time of the release of "Island Girl" accounted for 2% of all music sales in the entire world. Elvis and the Beatles never even got their market share up that high.

U2's version of "Night and Day"
Night and Day
You are the one
Only you beneath the moon
And under the sun
Whether near to me or far
No matter baby where you are
I think of you
Night and Day
How romantic is that? It would have to be recorded. No offense to Adam Sandler but I don't think a typical Wedding Singer could reproduce the quality of U2's version. Also no offense to Cole Porter who wrote the song or Sinatra who made it popular. I just think U2's version is the best one.
I love Sinatra by the way. Until the Palms opened I always stayed at the Sands in Vegas partly in tribute to him and the other Rat Pack members.

I love all of these very polite apologies...reminds me of "A Fish Called Wanda"...
"Just don't call me stupid, and why would anyone name their daughter after a car?"
The Monty Python boys have always been able to simplify life's great mysteries. The meaning of life, the existence of the holy grail, the belief that every sperm is sacred are all questions they have tackled through the years. Much wisdom can be gained from these men.
On topic:
I love the song "Dream Weaver"
Howard Jones was another artist who played all the instruments on his recordings.
"The central message of Budhism is not 'every man for himself'," Curtis form the same movie.

I do agree about the musical ability. I was just trying to say something positve about Ringo and get in a sideways pro-James Bond comment as well.
I did like "Octopus's Garden" but he was the least gifted songwriter of the four.
-
You will not go wrong if you can get past Ringo's music.
Say what you want about Ringo. Out of the four of them he did 'score' the best looking wife, Barbara Bach. (Triple X to Bond fans)

Jackie Brown
DeNiro:
Doesn't smoking pot all the time lower your ambition?
Fonda:
Not if your ambition is to get high and watch TV.
Except for a couple well placed educational and career decisions, I could easily have become a surfer girl like Fonda in the movie. The hanging out by the beach getting stoned thing. Not the screwing my boyfriends best friend who just got out of prison deal.
-
Amazing, Musik and I agree on something. I thought after the Ashley, vinyl discussions that I was on the list forever.
LZ 2 is their best even if my favorite song of theirs isn't on it. (see my post above)
-
Truly the mark of an incredible group when a list of 15-20 of their songs doesn't even include my favorite,
"In the Light" from PG.
so many good songs
-
#1 Neil Peart in bold because everyone else is really an also-ran behind him.
#2 Stewart Copeland
three others
John Bohnam
Alex Van Halen
Tommy Lee
-
Rush
-
Didn't know horn sections were allowed.
Horn Section -- Roomfull of Blues, whole band except for the piano player of course. Or Tower of Power
-
semi-charmed life - third eye blind
The verve - bitter sweet
Counting crows - Mr Jones
Roach Ford - only to be with you
I'm guessing by the songs you listed that you are looking for kind of a post grunge alternative sound.
In the Meantime by Spacehog
Take a Picture by Filter
Get Higher by Black Grape
Standing outside a broken phone booth by Primitive Radio Gods
How do you sleep by the Stone Roses
Blues from a gun by Jesus and Mary Chain
The only one I know by the Charlatins UK
Ship of Fools by World Party (1987) sorry for not staying in the right decade, it was the type of sound I was thinking about not time of release.
-
Flood by Jars of Clay
Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel
Gloria by U2
Tai Shan by Rush
Mercy Beat by The The
Snowbound by Genesis
All of the bands/artists that I listed above tend to write sprititual songs. Jars of Clay is actually a Christian band with some crossover, I don't like all their music but "Flood" is a great song. The The is a similar group but I like them a lot better than Jars of Clay. You might describe them as a pop group who's songs could all crossover into the Christian category Jars of Clay fits into. Excellent keyboard and piano work as well. Hopefully you've already heard of the other four groups that I listed. There are many other songs that I could have listed by each. Check out the Songfacts lyrics for some of their other songs you might want to use. Some of Rush's songs have a 'darker' type sound or title that might not go over so well at a youth group gathering, "Witch Hunt" off Moving Pictures isn't about witches but it still might not be the best song for what you seem to be looking for. U2 also has some songs that are more political than spiritual, like "New Year's Day". Genesis has some songs that are just silly, "Illegal Alien" for example. You should be safe for the most part with Peter Gabriel but again, check out the lyrics to make sure. I don't think "Shock the Monkey" has anything to do with spirituality.

I would say to start with the entire LZ 2 album. Journalists used to have a musical category called 'Album Rock' and Led Zeppelin certainly fits into it. I believe this is also how they should be listened to. This will give you a good base and an understanding of Bonhams talent on the drums as Jayson pointed out with the visual of the drummer on his post.
From there I would move on to LZ 4 then either LZ 1 or In Throught the Out Door. If you are really looking for just some good songs to download some of my favorites are:
In the Light - my favorite song by them
In the Evening
Thank You
Going to California
Kashmir
When the Levee Breaks
Over the Hills and Far Away
Its safer just to start collecting CDs, then you don't miss out on anything good.

I probably have around 200-300 songs downloaded on my computer. My real passion is used CDs. At my favorite store the standard price is $8.99 and you get a card that they will stamp so every tenth CD is free. I've bought literally 100's of these. I get rid of the cases and store them in those notebooks with their liner notes. Until downloading music was available, I would buy any CD even if I just liked one song.
My favorite thing about downloading music is that I can now get that one song without having to purchase the whole CD. It's also a great way to get some of those 'one hit wonder' songs that you might not be able to find even at a used CD store. The first downloaded song that comes up on my list is "88 lines about 44 women" by the Nails. It comes up first because it's title starts with a number and I sort the folder by song name. For years I looked for this song in stores and never could find it. The first night I used the old Napster, it was the first song that I downloaded.
It's also how I found out that "Sunshine Superman" by Donovan wasn't a Violent Femmes song from a CD I could not find. That was a frustrating search also. I thought that it was some 'solar' theme the group was trying to develop along with "Blister in the Sun". Napster cleared up that confusion up as well.

I am trying hard not to get on my soapbox, because it takes so long to get back down, but I feel I have no choice.
deep breath...
We all understand that you don't have to be gay to get AIDS, don't we? Blood transfusions, sharing needles, mother-to-unborn-child transference...none of those are exclusive to homosexuals.
Peace to all,
Peaches
The Bohemian Rhapsody reference was to Waynes World. I was saying that Wayne wasn't gay and liked Queen so why can't we all be like Wayne.
As far as I know Magic Johnson, and Arthur Ashe weren't gay, yet both still got AIDS. I wasn't saying that being gay was why Freddie got AIDS. Freddie got AIDS from unprotected sex, just like Magic Johnson. Freddie's was just unprotected sex with a man. Arthur got it from a blood transfusion. I'm a tennis player and have always admired Arthur Ashe. One of the reasons he wasn't more open about his illness was because so many people still think it is a gay disease. He died several years ago. If there wasn't such a stigma attached to the disease, Ashe might have been able further the cause of AIDS research through activism much like Magic Johnsons admissions have helped to make people realize that it is not just a 'gay' disease and we should all be concerned with finding a cure.
Terry Bradshaw's admission to suffering from clinical depression has also raised peoples awareness of that disease and its treatability. This I believe was especially helpful for men who suffer from depression. I say this because studies have shown that men are far less likely than women to seek help for pshychological problems. I'm from Dallas and Terry Bradshaw caused me much pain as a child. Super Bowl 10 was the last time I cried over a sporting event. I like him a lot better now that he works for the FOX team. It took a lot of courage for Magic to admit he has AIDS and for Terry to talk openly about suffering from depression. By doing so they have both raised public awarness of the diseases and hopefully gotten us one step closer to a cure.

My mp3's range from 192 to 320 kbp's.
Who are you downloading from? I don't know where to get movies, and my best speed with Kazza hovers around 100?

I have their first three CD's. My first musical love was the Beatles and so anyone attempting to immitate them, I thought deserved a listen. Immitation being the sincerest form of flattery. You can hear the influence on most of their songs, the songs played on the radio especially. The three CDs I have all fit into that rare category of 'put it in the player and hit play.' Most of their music has a harder edge to it than the songs that were played on the radio frequently such as "Wonderwall" and "Don't look back in anger". I would compare many of their songs to the Smashing Pumpkins more than I would the Beatles even though the vocals always reflect the Beatles influence. One of my top four bands from the 90's, as I listed in another thread. Might even be my second favorite only behind Stone Temple Pilots.

"MY" 5 Favourite Rock Guitarists

Yeah, he's the one wearing the shorts, sliding around on the floor while still playing the guitar. The first time I saw AC/DC, I had fourth row seats and rushed the stage, along with everyone around me, when they came on. I managed to work my way to the front where I spent the rest of the concert watching him play and arguing, although inaudibly, with a roadie who didn't want me bracing myself with my arm against the stage so as not to get totally crushed against the barricade. Couldn't he see that I was being pushed from behind? Or did he just not care?
