Led Zepp, Pink Floyd. Michael Jackson, Jethro Tull, Rolling Stones, Jack White, Frampton, Clapton, Annie Lennox, Pink, ...
Sorry, got way too many to list, and the neighbours throw rocks when I've got the sound system turned up a bit ( " but I've still got another 10 dB to go !!" )
Music makes the world go round .....

[koputai]

Mine is actually a music DVD/BluRay, 'Queen On Fire - Live at the Bowl', closely followed by 'Queen - Live at Wembley Stadium'.

Do yourself a favour. Turn down the lights, crank up the stereo, and watch Freddie work his magic.

Cheers,
Jason.

[Barrykgerdes]

I like Music

Unfortunately there has been virtually nothing composed in the last 50 years worth listening to, just a cacophany of noise consisting of pagan rythm and 4 chord assemblages.

There! That should stir up the modern generation!

Modern "music" is judged by quantity rather than quality.

Barry

[koputai]

But you're just OLD Barry!

Cheers,
Jason.

[Barrykgerdes]

No just more particular! I could give a lot more disturbing information on most of the modern music but it would stir up too much controversy.

Baz:P

[taminga16]

A bloke after my own heart.
Greg.
P.S. Barry, you are obviously being inundated with the wrong stuff.

[Esseth]

I'd give Porcupine Tree a crack if thats what you are after, try Stupid Dream or Deadwing. Real music for music lovers, not just people that want to bop along to whatever is cool.

[AstralTraveller]

In my experience 4 chords is quite enough for blues, folk and bluegrass too.:P

And what changed to the 'rythm' of music in 1960? Oh yes, the rhythmic fineness of Little Richard, Bill Halley and Muddy Waters was lost. Nothing so touching and sensitive has been heard again. :D:D

[M110]

Rush-Exit Stage Left, the best live album of all time.

[asimov]

That album is a collectors item now.

Bear in mind it was released in 75' in the UK (not sure about here in AU) & it was just basically a collection of songs from Sabbaths first 4 prior album releases.

Anyway, I have every Sabbath album right up to present day & then when Ozzy got fired from the band, I collected every album he made with his various bands as well. No one touches 'em or they'll receive ample pain in the finger regions of their hands:lol:;)

[GeoffW1]

Hi,

Generally I'd agree, although you can still do very clever stuff with only 4 chords.

Have a listen to "No Regrets" by the Walker Bros, arranged by Ivor Raymonde (he also used to do stuff for Dusty Springfield) and see what you think.

I too view with some cynicism the noise generated by a lot of the guitar gods of the past 30 or 40 years. I think a tremendous lot of it is self-indulgent rubbish, probably because I like a bit more cleverness rather than just "slow hands" (you know who I mean). This exposes me to an accusation of tragic wannabe, I know, but once you have elevated an icon to God, you tend to expect great things ;).

Now take "Jessica" by the Allman Bros. Great melody with a clever hook in it. That stuff in the middle 32 (more like 64) though, did they need to do ALL that ? What do you reckon?

OK, what's better? How about "Suite - Judy Blue Eyes". Great, all through. Steven Stills wrote that about his long-time love, Judy Collins, and I think Graham Nash is terrific on there too.

To try to prove it, have a listen to Nash on the Hollies version of Stewball. Magic:

Foof, I wish I could sing half as well. Clarke and Nash sang while still at school together, like that, and you can hear why.

Cheers

Hi

I used the 4 chords analogy because we were shown many years ago that if you knew how to play the principal 4 chords on the guitar you could play (strum?) just about anything. I can play(?) just about any tune I know on the piano with three bass chords and one finger on the treble. But I am equally sure I would never be asked to give a recital!

Writing music these days is all about making money and if it suits the listeners it usually does. The worst thing about modern music is the glazed look on the faces of people with ipod earphones walking down the street, driving a car or just sitting in the bus beside you. They are oblivious to their surrounds.

In any case everyone has their own choice. In prefer the old classics

Oh! and I need to clarify what I mean by pagan rythym. That is the sound of the heavy beat of percussion instruments meant to stir up and hypnotise the warriors as the prepared for battle.

A little off topic now. I was listening to a country FM program on Sunday, not by choice, it just happened to be what the tuner found, They played an old recording of Paul Robeson singing Old Man River, The politically correct version that leaves off the first verse.

[supernova1965]

I can't agree with the last 50years Barry but I will go with the last 10 HA HA:P although the last 5years have shown promise:thumbsup:

[GeoffW1]

Awwww :(

Anyway, what 10 songs ? :D

[miki63au]

Hi Steve,
" the your old GEM RA worm is next on my
lathe list http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/../vbiis/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif"

Good luck!! :)



PS. I moved down to Mount Compass. (divorced :()

[miki63au]

Barry,
may I suggest Nora Jones and Diana Krall with a glass of scotch!

Mick.

[RickS]

Careful... that Jazz stuff is going to break the 4 chord rule. It'll probably even contain frequent key changes. No wonder you prescribed alcohol to go with it! :)

[GeoffW1]

That's very cerebral, almost spiritual. Doesn't it mean that whatever anyone thinks, it's OK for them, in their own context? No vast experience needed really?

Anyway, I'll only speak for myself. Years and years ago, on Mykonos, I was in a cafe and heard a tune. The locals only knew it was from Cafe del Mar, but not which.

I found it finally, the other day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPowOMt3Y1Y&feature=related

Can't stop playing it now, it's like I was there again.

Cheers

[multiweb]

Gotta agree with this. Some songs are closely linked to memories, people or past events.

In the same line of thinking I used to have songs as ringtones. And I quickly ended up hating them just because of the phone calls so I picked up a generic tone again. :P Music is for relaxation.

[Barrykgerdes]

What on earth for! Do you need to be sozzled to appreciate music?

Baz:lol:

[GrampianStars]

Toutcha da music I breaka your fingers ;)
as i'm back playing acoustic
I've gone feral a little bit country jazz :lol: (Joe Robinson)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNfGdbrvqbg&feature=fvst
:thumbsup:

[Barrykgerdes]

Here is what I appreciate about modern pop music:

The people who love it buy it. (if they don't pirate it)
The government collects the taxes (They don't make anything out of my music tastes)
The taxes help to keep me with my indexed CSS super and OAP in the lap of luxury. (just like the retired pollies)
So why should I complain about other peoples' music taste. I like what I like.

Baz:thumbsup::P

PS I have collected various CD's and Discs over the years (because they were available) but I can only ever remember buying one specific record and that was a 45 of Tchaikovsky's Italian Caprice (around 1953)
BG

[AstralTraveller]

That's from the album 'Broadcasting from Home' (1984). The band got its break when Brian Eno released their first album on his Obscure record label - Eno's vehicle for promoting music he thought deserved to be promoted. There was lots of good stuff on that label but they were about the only band that had any commercial success (the trumpeter Jon Hassel also had some success). Sadly the leading light of the band, Simon Jeffes died young and the band folded. During its time it had a couple of noted members; Steve Nye and Nigel Kennedy.

[Colin_Fraser]

:rockband:
I bought my first Rolling Stones record in 1963 when I was 12.
Now I have every album and DVD the Stones have released. Why? Because I like them.
Do I care about feeble minded negative comments made by others about their music? NO!

[Jen]

Dont touch my P!NK collection
:mad:

:P

[miki63au]

One of my all time "don't touch" is Paint it Black.
I like the original R. Stones, but the version played by Eric Burdon is closer to me.
Unfortunately I lost the record .... :(

Mick.

[scopemankit]

Ricard Bona - M'bemba Mama

[koputai]

No Auto-Tune for you then Barry? :lol:

Whilst I agree with you in regard to pretty much anything produced in the past 20 years, there was a lot of good stuff for a couple of decades before that.

Cheers,
Jason.

[Gallifreyboy]

"where is the Floyd for the 21st century?"




I agree Porcupine Tree are well worth a listen but they are so much more than Floyd influenced, modern progressive rock and other styles they are very hard to categorise.....their most Floyd like track Time Flies ironically comes off the most recent album The Incident, it is well worth a listen here http://www.porcupinetree.com/

See how many Pink Floyd references musically and lyrically you can hear in this song

[shelltree]

The Doors. Jim Morrison will always have a special place in my heart :D I love Led Zeppelin too. Whenever "Immigrant Song" comes on I can't help but sing at the top of my lungs.

[Octane]

I have fallen in love all over again with Opeth, and have had their debut album, Orchid (released in 1995) on repeat for eons.

http://metal-archives.com/review.php?id=138

The Apostle in Triumph (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwdFV32IZ6E) is a standout track for me. Of note: the last 4 minutes and 40 seconds; especially the last 2 minutes and 45 seconds. :eyepop:



H

[FlashDrive]

The Shadows......( without Cliff Richards )....Now I'm showing my age...!!!.:D

[GeoffW1]

YEAH,

Now you're talking!! Kon-Tiki !! A marvellous bass part.

They also do a terrific version of "Perfidia":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f9CnoYO8Mo

Oooooooooah !!

[ZeroID]

She CAN sing that girl can. And perform and entertain. And she doesn't mime ...ever ! Got a couple of her shows on BluRay, 'I'm not dead' and 'Funhouse'.

And for the purists in guitar try to acquire ' It Might Get Loud' preferably on BluRay ( sound quality is just so good !!). Jimmy Paige, The Edge (U2) and Jack White have a discussion on and with guitars.
Jimmy Paige is the ultimate Maestro, The Edge is just techno power and Jack White is almost New Orleans Southern Blues/Jazz roots. Musically very educational and some excellent listening ... think I'll go and play it again now. :D

[FlashDrive]

Ohhhhhhh...!!!! Yeah.....Great Clip.......:thumbsup:
All " Shadows " fan's move to the front of the line.
Ahhhh..!!! The Shadows....Is there anybody else...!!!! ;)

[Kevnool]

So many music threads here.

Cheers Kev.

[Mliss]

My Bowie collection :D and i don't care how old that makes me sound.

No idea how many records i have, some are valuable but all are precious ;)

[TinyBlueDot]

Dark Sanctuary's "Funeral Cry"
Goth songstress Marquise Ermia at her finest...and Arkdae working the piano

Betcha no-one has ever heard it - nor have one of the 500 copies of the CD-EP

This is a track I have to myself...not used/abused in any ads or ringtones :P

[Poita]

Yay!

I was going to write the exact same thing :D

Not everyone shares that taste though, when my house got rolled, they stole all my music, but left *every* bit of Bowie behind. :screwy:

[Mliss]

:thumbsup: i knew i wasn't alone in here :lol: :2thumbs:

sorry to hear your house was hit, they clearly didn't have taste in music... :poke:but thank goodness for that!

hope they didn't get away with it and they didn't take too much that you couldn't replace. :mad2:

i'd lock them up and have Bowie's entire catalogue played to them on repeat.
