Richard Gere on Warren Zevon:

 

 

[blakeyboy 1,603]

Never heard of him. Must investigate, based on that first listening.

 

Very quickly off the top of me yed:

Thomas Dolby

Buzzcocks

The Planets esp. Venus and Neptune

Debussy

Solution pre-1980

XTC

Alan Parsons Project

Bonzos

Alan Holdsworth

Jeff Beck

Donald Fagan

Freddie Hubbard

Jean-Luc Ponty

Kraftwerk

Soapkills

10cc

[Peckris 579]

Can't believe I also missed XTC and 10CC off my list

[blakeyboy 1,603]

Just started playing them again. The early 10cc stuff is so well recorded, too...

I had to look in iTunes under 'recently played' to find out what I've liked lately!!

 

[Paddy 1,543]

Yes I keep thinking of things I have missed off - 10cc is definitely one, the How Dare You album is my favourite. 

Then there is Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez (Diamonds and Rust track appeals to me particularly at the moment).

If, like me, you enjoy Tangerine Dream and the obcurer Pink Floyd you may find The Orb enjoyable - space age prog weirdness.

 

[blakeyboy 1,603]

Ah yes- so difficult to recall favourites- (such a strange concept there...)

Early Joni Mitchell!!!!!

I bought Rubycon on cd last year.

Orb- I played "Towers of Dub" to a friend of mine who loves Reggae- he'd never heard it 

and couldn't believe what he was hearing.....everyone should have Victor Lewis-Smith and a dog on their album...

[blakeyboy 1,603]

Mind you- Dub is easier on this system that I built for the Studio last year- ghastly lamp for scale!!

[Paddy 1,543]

Just listening to "Towers of Dub" now through Facebook. I like - I will have to get that album...

 

[Peter 615]

It's Alive by the Ramones...the only band to give me temporary deafness...1234...boom.

[blakeyboy 1,603]

OMG...I forgot the Ramones!!!!!!

1 2 3 4  then 17 tracks in 29 minutes and off.

Cretin Hop will live forever.

Mind you, if you think about it, The Ramones is just Buddy Holly speeded up.......

No-one should be without a copy of "Dub Side Of The Moon"! (Easy Star All-Stars).

Buddy Holly on speed

[Michael-Roo 777]

 

I always thought them more as Surfing music on speed.

I stood no more than a few feet from the amps at an Eric's show in May 1977. Small club. Low ceiling. 

Peter's quite correct. LOUD!

 

[Peter 615]

I saw them at the Cambridge Corn Exchange...many bands during the 70/80's.The biggest toilet of a venue....or one big toilet.

[Michael-Roo 777]

 

 

We lived in Cambridge in the early 1990s. I went to a few coin fairs at the Corn Exchange. Bootleg CD fairs too, I think.

I don't know how many people here enjoy the Gorillaz as a group - I find them very refreshing. This song - Manana - has a particularly powerful video with it. I often find a feel like the star of this animation - the "powers that be" are out to get me, and even when I am defeated they keep on at me!

"The" Gorillaz lol. That's like talking about The Pink Floyd, The Genesis, or The 10CC!

[blakeyboy 1,603]

Except, of course, that between being 'The Pink Floyd Sound' and 'Pink Floyd' there was 'The Pink Floyd'...:-)

Interestingly, Wikipedia has the word 'the' in lower case, implying either that it wasn't used as part of the name, or that there is some doubt about it.

Anybody else listen to Jamie T? I am surprised to find how infectious and memorable his stuff is. First bit I got into was "Salvador" after it was mentioned on some BBC4 documentary on musice. The video is mesmeric too:

How about a little "Desert Island Discs". You are stuck on an Island for the foreseeable future - you have your coins (life would be unthinkable without them) - what six tracks would you need with you? Mine change as time goes by, but for now:

Pink Floyd - Shine on you Crazy Diamond (in full - dreamy)
Led Zeppelin - Trampled Under Foot (gets me going when I am being lazy)
Tangerine Dream - Cherokee Lane (dreamy)
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (such variety)
Meatloaf - Paradise by the Dashboard Light (memories of teenage years)
King Crimson - The Court of the Crimson King (endlessly entertaining)

How about you?

 

[Michael-Roo 777]

Desert Island Discs?

Eight tracks, surely?

You may well be right! It is so many years since I listened to it that I have forgotten. 

So add:

Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin (long forgotten memories)
Steve Harley - Sebastian (off the wall but entertaining)
