  2. what album?

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    I'm fairly sure Jeff Beck has never recorded a tune called 'Hallelujah'.

    Muzik may well be right. I think you are confusing Jeff Beck with Jeff Buckley who did record a version of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' for his 'Grace' album. Buckley's rendition received a lot of airplay on MTV after 9/11.

    That would be the only Hallelujah by a Jeff that I know, It was also featured on the West Wing when Mark Harmon was shot in the robbery.

  3. All Genres of Rock

    How about Goth, reggae, Metal Rap, Bluegrass, Fusion, big band and swing, whatever genre you can call the polyphonic spree or whatever they call themselves - and speaking of ungenred music how would you classify Blue Man Group, is Lilith fair a genre? :stars: What do you call artists like Sinatra or Harry Connick Jr.? Can Frank Zappa be classified?

  4. Songs mis-used in commercials

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    I'm not at all upset when I hear an old favorite on a commercial of some sort - it makes me watch anyway - but it also exposes the kiddies to some classic tunes, and sometimes even some rather obscure artists get a little airtime. None of my kids had ever heard of Nick Drake till someone used Pink Moon in a car commercial. (Now see - I remember the song but not the product - so the ad agency's ploy is not working). But then I try to look at the glass as half full. :beatnik:

  6. Favorite Movie Soundtracks!

    in Movies and TV

    Posted

    After just watching it on TV I came up with another. Donnie Darko. That movie is one of the best your ever going too see (if you get it). The song "Mad World" is very mystifying.

    The soundtrack is great - these are my other favorites:

    Trainspotting - no one's mentioned this one yet but it's one of the best ever.

    High Fidelity - velvet underground - need I say more?

    The Song Remains the Same - yeah!

    and any Tarantino movie.

    I hate Dave Matthews Band. He's such a geek and he's got this attitude. He think he's such an intellectual and modern.

    You sound like my son (who acts like I should be embarrassed by my love for all things DMB)- I will not be shamed - I love DMB and I don't care who knows it! Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and gosh darn it - other people love DMB too. He seems like a very nice boy and geeks are cool.

    I don't know if Thin Lizzy should be in the "get the word out" section, but hey, there a good band!

    You're right Batman - but I've seen Stevie Ray Vaughn in this section - and I guess he was new to me way back sometime - I'm gonna recommend Led Zeppelin :rockon: and Pink Floyd too. :headphones:

    ELO has a way bigger repertoire than DMB. Although DMB is good. ELO has better songs, and more of them.

    I think you must be from an alternate universe - do you all have a different definition of "better" than we have? =:P

    also - thought of a couple more:

    QOTSA - queens of the stoneage

    AYWKUBTTOD - and you will know us by the trail of dead :laughing:

    The Best Rock Love Songs according to ME

    Thank you - Led Zeppelin

    (Page/Plant)

    If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.

    When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

    Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.

    Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.

    My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,

    together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.

    An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

    And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,

    Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.

    Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.

    If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.

    When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

  12. Your favourite one hit wonders

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Boys Are Back In Town ~~~~ Thin Lizzy

    WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? Being one of the most underrated bands on the planet does not make one a one hit wonder - a one hit wonder by definition (IMO - not necessarily VH1's) would have to be a band/songwriter or whatever that had only the one "hit" in his arsenal and could never churn out another comparable song - a one hit wonder does not influence generations of other musicians. Thin Lizzy definitely does not fit the definition .

    Oh - to get back to the original question - I think my favorite one hit wonder is Radar Love by golden earring (though technically they are 2 hit wonders) - twilight zone in the 80's - but I also love the previously mentioned Groove is in the heart and the Blind Melon song, and the not mentioned Take on Me - AHa, and You Get what you give - New Radicals - ooh and Relax by Frankie goes to Hollywood.

    :thumbsup: :beatnik: ::

  15. best male vocals ever...

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Best male vocals ever Jeff Buckley his voice is something special. Listen to Corpus Christi Carol he sounds like an opera singer

    I also like Freddy Mercury he was opera trained i believe

    I think Buckley's voice is best on Halleluja and I love Freddie Mercury's voice, also Robert Plant and Paul Rogers and Elvis Presley - Roger Waters' voice I think is really haunting. Can't forget Thom Yorke, Maynard James Keenan and Layne Staley and Scott Weiland , oh and of course Kurt Cobaine. :headphones:

  24. Stevie Ray - "Rivera Paradise" like songs?

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    You've probably heard it but, another great SRV instrumental is his cover of Hendrix's "Little Wing". Its not near as mellow, but it sounds a little sad.

    This one's not an instumental, but you might also consider "Blue Jean Blues" by ZZTop.

    :guitar:

    That reminded me of my favorite Clapton song - or so it is this morning - "Bell bottom Blues" - and if you like riviera paradise you should love this one. Also anything my Boz Scaggs - hey guys thanks of for that earworm.

  25. Velvet Revolver

    I know I'm late to this discussion - but I just bought the cd last week and I haven't took it out of the player yet. These guys are the best rockers since audioslave! Anyone who hasn't checked them out yet is really missing out. They are definitely greater than the sum of their parts - ie: GNR and STP. (not knocking STP) :rockon:
