| Yup. There's been a lot of "musical" discussions lately, especially in the Member Spotlights. So I thought it would be appropriate to start a thread about what else... some of our favorite music. You can add you-tube links or imbeds for songs you really want us to hear. I'd love to see what you all love. No rules to this thread. Just tell us... or show us what you like on your MP3 player... or in your cd player (for those of us, like me, that haven't gotten with the times yet). |

| And of course, I'm going to start it. I LOVE country music (and classic rock). Believe it or not, it was actually my daughter that got me hooked on country, instead of the other way around. But of all the country artists out there, my absolute favorite is Keith Urban, which is actually a little strange, considering that instead of a southerner, he's actually Australian. (Damn, but Nicole Kidman is one lucky b****... oops... nevermind). Here he is, singing my favorite of his: Keith Urban, Tonight I Wanna Cry Sorry, it won't let me imbed this video, but you have to check it out. Not only is his voice absolutely beautiful and haunting in this song, but so is he!! *swoon* |
| Let's see, I have a bunch of this My Favorite song by Maximum the Hormone One of my favorite from Infected Mushroom The first hit from my favorite band Yello And a few more from Yello Some of my favorite Vocaloid stuff And my own attempts at Vocaloid music (still in the experimental stages) And other randomness That's all I've got for now. |
 |
| I've always felt that Yello's "Of Course I'm Lying" was one of the most beautiful songs ever written, fringing on deep hidden meaning, while still leaving it open to each one's own interpretation. and a fantastic video, if only they would release a domestic DVD collection |
 |
| @Chelle, I wont tell you the number of times I've met Keith Urban... ;-) as far a country goes, I like a decent amount of it... but typically take to more traditional and older artists. and as a song writer, it really doesn't get any better than Rodney Crowell |
| |
| I find it interesting that Tiger Dust appears in the Virtual Concert for Touch Yello, but isn't actually on that album. The song itself is from The Eye. "Of Course I'm Lying" has always been one of my favorites. I think I still have my copy of Flag from when it was released, though I doubt it could be played in a CD player anymore. Before the advent of MP3s, I had a tendency to wear them out. |
|
| My favorie is from a Korean raper named Tasha, who unlike the vast majority of rappers, esp. Asian rappers, actually has skills: |
 |
| As for country, the closest I got to liking country was Patsy Cline. So here's a Vocaloid interperetation of Crazy :p |
|
| @Krimson... you left out one of my fave Yello video's (and song) with lyrics like: Visiting your planet for a few thousand days.. Nothing to hide, no reason to stay.. Breathless at the end of my run, it all ends where it begun who could not like it ;-) @Arnoldk... I've heard a few other tracks w/ Tasha.. she's very cool. |
| |
| Never been a great fan of country music probably because we do not get to much exposure to it here but have always liked to listen to Johnny Cash and thought I would share one of his finest last covers. R.I.P Another song that touches me is Youssou N'Dour featuring Neneh Cherry - 7 Seconds And a track from my favorite album The Psychedelic Furs - India Thumbs up to my Last.Fm friends and especially the Laibach video Nice thread Chelle - I will be terrorising this thread with more of my - lets say unusal taste soon |

| eta: Jusenkyo, I'm so jealous. Next time you meet him, give him a big, wet, sloppy kiss from me. ^_^ Even though I love country, I'm not a huge fan of the "classic" country. I think I like so much of the newer country because it sounds so much more like classic southern rock than country. I've never been a Johnny Cash fan, or Hank Williams, etc. But I absolutely love the new stuff out there. Here's another one of my favorite country singers. This guy has some great "humorous" songs. Here's one of his funniest: |

slenderfall said: Thumbs up to my Last.Fm friends and especially the Laibach video Thanks, I went through a bit of a Laibach phase a little while back. A personal favorite of mine War - and it actually tells you what war is good for! And the perrenial favorite Oh and my last.fm profile for whomever is interested. |
|
| And I have just discovered Laibach are playong London in December Well since we are on an industrial tip here is those lovely fellas Front 242 - Headhunter ..and one of my favorite british funk tracks of all time A Certain Ratio - Knife Slits Water |
Shameless plug signature The Shorts Club |
| The whole sound track to Air TV and the closing of Gunslinger Girls. Sure I like mainstream music, but, I won't loop a song from Rush no matter how long I have enjoyed listening to Canada's premire rock band. |
| While not technically anime, currently I am a big fan of Hatsune Miku. At least I can go see her in concert. |
slenderfall said: Great choice!one of my favorite british funk tracks of all time A Certain Ratio - Knife Slits Water I like that you didn't immidiately list Do The Du, while it's a fantastic track... it's a bit overplayed. just seems everytime someone refers to A Certain Ratio, it's always The Du ;-) |

| ok guilty pleasure time :P |
kateykayyOct 20, 2009 12:33 PM

| Well it always has been my favorite ACR track and remember hearing it for the first time and could not wait to rush down to town to buy it- Shak up is another over played one too and now for something completely different Fire Engines - Candy Skin |

Chelle said: a thread about what else... some of our favorite music. As far as obsessions go… it was music, loooooong before it was ever Anime! From my first purchase, the 1979 Trying to Love Two Women 7” from The Oak Ridge Boys.. to the fact that I still go out of my way to buy vinyl releases these days. I’m actually wondering how any of us could ever really answer this without feeling the unending urge to keep blurting out the names of more and more musicians? I am not even sure that I have enough space for the answer. Thought at first I would try to block my answers by musical style or type, but so many artists span many genres so I guess I’ll just list as many artists as I can think of all lumped together, just like the great musical stew that they all are... well hear goes: ...At this point, having decided to stop, I feel horrible knowing I have left out thousands upon thousands of other deserving artists... ah well, such is life.. I’m sure you get the picture ;-) I’ll leave you with this, a beautiful song from a fantastic band I was listening to on the way home from work today. |

| Here's Keith Anderson singin' about the kinda guy I like. ^_~ **swoons some more** eta: Damn youtube and their imbedding restrictions... grrrrr |
| @J_Guide You are very brave to make that list - I would not even think of thinking to start a list like that - Interesting you put Alien Sex Fiend on as I used share a squat with Mr and Mrs Fiend and played some gigs with them in my own band - I was a freind of Razzle from Hanoi Rocks who sadly past away but thats how I hooked up with them - wild times aplenty but that is another story Plus I have connections with Juno Reactor again another story So the ones you have missed out are...... :P |

Shameless plug signature The Shorts Club |
| I love Abingdon Boys School. First heard them when they did the opening for Darker Than Black called Howling. Started to watch all of their other videos on You Tube and was hooked instantly! |
slenderfall said: I used share a squat with Mr and Mrs Fiend - wild times aplenty but that is another story you sharing living quarters with Mr. and Mrs. Fiend I'm sure make for some very wild stories I'd love to hear... ;-) for those of you wondering just what kind of stories those would be and or who Mr. and Mrs. Fiend of Alien Sex Fiend are... here ya go :-D |

Those usually have embedding restrictions. >.< Now, here's another Brad Paisley song, that I think we can ALL relate to. ^_~ Everyone... sing along!! *snicker* |

AccipiterF1 said: Thread needs more Metal. ;-) Well sorry I could not resist here is a band who play metal Test Department live at Cannon Street Station - a gig I actually went to on my birthady in the 80's - Incedentally all profits went towards the mimers who were on strike at the time |
Shameless plug signature The Shorts Club |
| How do you tell if a mime goes on strike, and does anyone really care? Just kidding. We have some of those type of groups over here in the States as well and they are different. And having said that, I'll sign off for a few hours with a nice quiet retrospective. 'Night all! |

| OMG, Orlah!! I ♥ Gordon Lightfoot!! *closes eyes and listens* This man is a Guitar God!! Here's one of my faves by him |
| Ok another one of my top tracks of all time - I probably have played this or differnt remixes of the original every week for the past 10 years - how time flies Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar (Michael Woods Chillout Mix) |
Shameless plug signature The Shorts Club |
Chelle said: This man is a Guitar God!! Here's one of my faves by him I LOVE Clapton; he IS a god! i have this song on my ipod (and tears in heaven) =] |
|
| In 1990 I saw Clapton live during a torrential downpour while having a case of flu. After the show I was feeling so dreadful that I asked my girlfriend if she wouldn't rather drive, but all she had was a learner's permit, and we weren't in our home State, so she refused. And I had to drive back 100 miles or so, delirious with fever to the point of near hallucination, and somehow surviving that spent most of the next day practically comatose. Great show, though. Anyway Krimson, I see your Voivod, and raise you some White Zombie: Thunderkiss '65 - Embedding disabled by request More Human Than Human - Embedding disabled by request |
| |
| @Orlah & Chelle, love Gordon!!! Other than the obvious Sundown & Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald… which while overplayed a bit are still classics! I also love Canadian Railroad Trilogy :-) slenderfall said: Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar Great track Slender…. Cosmic Baby is Fantastic!!! Also great Test Dept. vid! |

| Would have loved to have had this man's "big-lipped babies" back in the day: |
Chelle said: Would have loved to have had this man's "big-lipped babies" back in the day: Yep, he was definitely yummy! |
I like him, I love him, I want some more of him. ^_^ ♥♥Tim McGraw♥♥ |
| Looks like you guys were on a huge country kick there. This is a completely switch in the conversation...a new theme. These are the songs that turned out to be the faves at my jam session last week: [EDIT] Oops! I forgot these, which were added to our group's Learning List: One more, this is one of those pieces the choir and I said, "Oh CRAP! You want us to learn THAT?" to the director; but man, it's going to totally rock once it all comes together. It's by far my fave out of all the choir repertoire I'm working on: |
