Cletus Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Does anyone have any albums like this. I can think if one at the moment. Rush - Hold Your Fire (1987) Most of it sounds like rather generic 80's pop. It pales in comparison to their earlier output. But for some reason, I find myself really enjoying many of the songs on this one. I think my favorites would have to be "Second Nature, Mission and Turn the page.

~tangerine~ Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Not that i feel any embarrassment, because i don't...but i'm sure many here would not care for my list. I love: the first two Counting Crows albums, August and Everything After and Recovering the Satellites...Billy Squier's Tale of the Tape, Don't Say No, Emotions In Motion, and Happy Blue...Creed (arms protecting my head), My Own Prison and Human Clay...Sinead O'Connor, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got and Universal Mother (excellent)...anything by Skinny Puppy.

BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) I really like Josh Groban and have been to one of his concerts. I have all of his albums: Josh Groban, Closer, Awake, and Noel. I particularly like "The Prayer" with Charlotte Church. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEovhr5hPOo...feature=related This is also one of my favorite songs of his: Edited January 5, 2009 by BUCK'EYE' DOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 There's not a damn thing the matter with liking Counting Crows, August and Everything After is one of the best debuts I've ever heard. Now, their remake of Joni's Big Yellow Taxi, that's something to be embarrassed about. As for my own collection, there's nothing in there I'm the least bit ashamed of except for maybe a 45 of the Bee Gee's Jive Talkin'. I'm pretty sure it was Clapton's Willie and the Hand Jive I went looking for and just got the two confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have anything I would hesitate to play for a rocker. I have stuff that would embarrass my sisters though. All that drug, sex in the rock and roll ya know.

Swede Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I love rock. But first and foremost I am a music fan, if it's good, it's good, no matter what style. Can't come to think of anything I would be ashamed of admitting to listening to. Though, some stuff would come off as surprising maybe..

What's wrong with REO Speedwagon, "You Can Tune a Piano but you Can't Tuna Fish"? That is a great album! Thanks DD; I did like REO back in the day; I had all their albums through Hi Infidelity.

Cletus Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Counting Crows - August and everything after. Man I loved that album when I was a teen. I was so addicted to the song Mr. Jones. Haven't listened to it in ages, and never bought any other CC albums. I remember around the same period I was into this Canadian band called Crash Test Dummies. Here's a video to one of their most famous songs. MMM MMM MMM MMM Ah Memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is nuts over this guy. He does have a great voice, and some of the songs are powerful. I haven't joined her at his shows yet, but probably wouldn't mind in the future.

It's a great album, and their second one rocked too. I just don't think most Led Zeppelin fans agree. trivia: Singer Adam Durwitz dated Jennifer Aniston I'll add to my list: everything by the Cocteau Twins, Blue Bell Knoll, Treasure, Victorialand, to name a few... a hardcore Industrial/hard rock fan turned me on to them back in 1995. Singer Liz Frasier has one of the prettiest voices. I also like the latest Coldplay album Viva LaVida (sorry Satch fans). Whoever mentioned the BeeGees, i love the songs that would be considered their "greatest hits" but haven't listened to them lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~tangerine~ Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Such a cultured lady, you know everybody I can think of one classic. Yeah, Run To Me is one of the greats! I wouldn't say i know everybody, but i have loved music all my life. My father loves classical and opera, so while i'm very very picky in opera (and only like a very few) i do love and can easily listen to Beethoven, Mozart and some other really great pieces. I am first and foremost a rock n roll lover...but i like some soft rock and some R & B (considering an Alicia Keys album)...and lots of "oldies"...jazz, alternative...etc... if you think i'm cultured download one Skinny Puppy song, lol...Dig It would be considered their "commercial" song...

Jahfin Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) I think all one needs to do is look at the music that influenced Led Zeppelin and look back on the interviews with them about what albums populate their record collections. I think there's a wide and very diverse range of music there that is also encompassed by their fans. Well, the majority of them anyway. Some folks knock rap music yet Page was musically adventurous enough to work with Puff Daddy. Others put Plant down for working with Alison Krauss yet the music they created for Raising Sand is at the very heart at what made Led Zeppelin tick. Plant also used R.E.M.'s Life's Rich Pagent as the house music when I saw him on the Now and Zen tour. Zeppelin painted from a very rich and deep musical palette, it's only natural that their fans tastes reflect that. There's not a damn thing embarrassing about that.

As great as Elizabeth Frasier was on record, it was seeing her do her thing in concert that really blew your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As great as Elizabeth Frasier was on record, it was seeing her do her thing in concert that really blew your mind. The first time i heard Cocteau Twins, my friend was listening to them on his walkman and gave me the headphones. He had Treasure on. I listened for a few minutes and said "what are they French?" He wouldn't tell me more (although he knew)well i didn't like them at first...but when he played them on the stereo while i was trying to sleep, i started to really enjoy them. Soon after, i went out and bought all the CD's i could find (Tower Records had the best selection). I do have a double live CD, and Liz sounds fantastic, but i am sorry i never saw them live. In the beginning i thought there were two female singers, because her range is so drastic. A wonderful singer...I have to check on line for DVD's.
