musicalcure Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Got to be one of my all-time forever favorite songs--never fails to lift me and amaze--and the instrumentals!! Gorgeous! Lake Shore Drive-Aliotta, Haynes & Jeremiah nothin like blasting this on the car radio, with all the windows open, singing it, and pounding the beat on the steering wheel...while on LakeShoreDrive, of course! Ohhh...here's another that will just WARM you right up, I gar-on-teee! Enjoy. It's HOT! I've seen it in concert, too....ohh baby! She's got some serious chops. Love Me Like a Man- Bonnie Raitt Edited February 24, 2009 by Guest
Batman Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Miles Davis - Kind of Blue talk about an all-star group!
c_s_1987 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 There are quite a few I haven't got to listen to yet. I'm at work right now. Can anyone think of a good one from the last 20 years? Or was there one already posted and I missed it?
c_s_1987 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 Also, note that the main reason why I said not progressive is because I already know too much about that genre.
MuzikTyme Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Also, note that the main reason why I said not progressive is because I already know too much about that genre. I firmly understand, sir. Hopefully, this next song will introduce your eager desire for outstanding instrumentation . . . Papa was a Rollin' Stone ~Temptations If you'll watch, you'll see, as well as hear, my former favourite, Eddie Kendricks. Thanks again for such a thoughtful thread! ~Muzik
Batman Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Can anyone think of a good one from the last 20 years? here are the first ones that came to mind Radiohead Godspeed You! Black Emperor Wilco (particularly on "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot") Built to Spill
MuzikTyme Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Sometimes, c_s_1987, it takes more than one knock for me to hear the door. (lol) Though, everyone is always welcome! This next song comes to mind from the last twenty years, giving a fine example of outstanding instrumentation, IMHO . . . I Ran ~ A Flock of Seagulls
musicalcure Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Anything by Railroad Earth, and it's contemporary. http://www.last.fm/music/Railroad+Earth Or Kaki King
MuzikTyme Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Hi, again, c_s_1987 Here's one that I hope you won't mind my adding to your great thread! You Sexy Thing ~ Hot Chocolate
musicalcure Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 haha, enjoyed that silly thang! here's a fun one I listen to all the time. with great blues guitar and a new track "I Can't Get My Ass in Gear" Coco Montoya oh yeah baby :rock: wait...I better go and do what the song says!
skybluesky Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 How have these smooth cats not been mentioned? Earth Wind and Fire-Let's Groove Boogie Wonderland September
Batman Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 EWF is the greatest! Another personal fave of mine is "Thats the Way of the World"
LeeBB Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 I have NO idea what this thread is about any more. Songs where we like the music, is that it? ;-)
greendaddy43 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 I know I keep bringing up John Fruscante but his new song Unreachable has an amazing instrumental that winds up being almost the entire last three minuts of the song.
Carl Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 C_S, you might like our interview with Jay Graydon: http://www.songfacts.com/int/2008/10/jay-graydon.html He's a producer/guitarist that is meticulous when it comes to instrumentation, and I think he did a great job putting into words how you can get a song to sound just flawless (make the singer do it until he gets it right!). Some good examples of his stuff: Kafka by Manhattan Transfer (click the Grooveshark widget to hear it) Peg by Steely Dan (he played the guitar solo) Many songs like this make their way to Easy Listening radio because they're so easy to listen to.
MuzikTyme Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I have NO idea what this thread is about any more. Songs where we like the music, is that it? ;-) "Songs where we like the music." I couldn't have said it better myself, LeeBB. Nothing quite like great songs, I always say, and this thread has many in it! Fantastic job, everyone. Many songs like this make their way to Easy Listening radio because they're so easy to listen to. I must say, the above statement was what I consider very easy listening, too! ~ Be well P.S. Almost forgot, this next instrumental offers some great instrumentation!
musicalcure Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 The guitar and violins are beautiful in this one, although it's not as clear on the video. Such a beautiful and brilliant song... The Weight of My Words - Kings of Convenience Could also be considered "easy listening". Very very easy.
