Title: Top Tunes!
Post by: Leon on 16 November 2011, 06:34:47 PM
I thought we needed a challenger for the Totty thread, so here's the Tunes thread!

Post up anything that takes your fancy, it could be an old classic, something you've just heard, something that brings back memories, or something you like to listen to while you're painting!

I'm not going to embed videos, because I have too many I like to listen to - They are all on You Tube, plus you don't need the videos to appreciate music, just go and bloody listen to them.  Here are just a few

Lovecats - Cure
Tainted Love - Soft Cell
Time Goes By - Jimmy Durante
Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Eternity - Robbie Williams (It is perfectly OK for a middle age man to enjoy Robbie Williams SINGING, ok)
Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits (Fell in love for the first time to this one)
Paint it Black - Rolling Stones
O'er the Hills - Traditional
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Traditional
It was a very Good year
One for My Baby
Well did you Evah - Sinatra/Astaire
California Dreaming - Mamas and the Papas
Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright version from Shrek
Mack the Knife
Aint that a kick in the head - Dean Martin

A bit sappy, but brings me back to a place and time when the world was ahead of me -- and my body worked!




I remember enjoying this when it came out - finally the DJs started playing something at the Saturday night dances at uni that was not drudge-dull disco!



tags no small number of good memories.


And from just after I finished - a boppy love song that's also a anti-war protest.  Its not easy to become a hit in North America and not be in English



Lately, I've been listening to these lads a lot



I have no more French than to read a cereal box, but it reminds me of the "Rock and Reel" and local kinda-Irish and Acadian that was big here when I was a young fellow.

And while this is about far more than winter, it is a good meditation fro the first blizzard of the season.

Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright version from Shrek

The one you hear while watching the movie is by John Cale, and is the version against which all other versions pale by comparison.

The Rufus Wainwright version (which I've not heard) is on the soundtrack due to some rights problem.

As for me, I'm currently alternating between Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, The Who's Tommy, and a folder full of 80's stuff (The Cure, Mission, Cult, Sisters Of Mercy, Damned, Adam & the Ants, and other slightly 'alternative' poppy stuff) on random play.

Cheers, Martyn

Rarely watch music videos so nothing to embed  :( - just a list of my current (and in no particular order) "top 10"

Sonic Youth - Dirty Boots
Dinosaur Jr - Freak scene
My Bloody Valentine - Feed Me With Your Kiss
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Real Emotional Trash
The Jesus & Mary Chain - You Trip Me Up (everything on the Psychoandy album is a classic but this is my most played track..)
Supersuckers - The Evil Powers of Rock N' Roll
The Clash - (White man) In Hammersmith Palais
Bob Dylan - Desolation Row
Smog - Say Valley Maker
The Silver Jews - Punks In The Beerlight


If pushed to pick a favourite it would probably be "Feed me with your Kiss"

Hi

I`m going to see the Who on Thursday night in the Toon.

This will be my third time and have seen Daltrey doing Tommy two years ago.

Might bump into Dave.

Hi

The who were great last night, they`ve still got it after all these years.

After they did all of Quadrophenia they did all the CSI themes which was nice of them (must be fans of the show),

Dave mustn't have had his who T shirt on as I didn`t see him.

He said he was just to the right of the stage in the side seating block?  Apparently he high-fived the support act's lead singer...

or this:

 

Fantasy stuff: (anything from this album, but this track especially)

Steelye Span - Well folky.
Albion dance Band -Saw them in Datchett at Mrs Windsor's 25th birthday bash. Folk dancing is one of the most knackering            experiences of my life...that and 5 a side football.

OMD

OMD -Joan of Arc is one of their best
Kraftwerk -Used to listen to them on Radio Caroline
David Bowie - Most of his early stuff. The Man Who Sold The World is an absolute classic -his version, not Lulu's.
AC/DC - Thunderstruck, amongst others
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms LP/Cassette/CD whatever
T-Rex - Glam Rock at it's glammest(?)
Moody Blues - Very melodic, lyrical and a bit weird on occasion.
Sandsdtorm  - one of the few Doof-Doof tunes I quite like
Safi Duo -Bongo Song, amongst others
Iron Maiden - Run To the Hills et al.
Rammstein - Du Hast, Sonne, America.
Pink Floyd -Dark Side of the Moon, One of These Days
Fleetwood Mac - All the later stuff with Buckingham and Nicks plus Albatross, Black Magic Woman and Shake your Money-maker from their many earlier incarnations.
Alice Cooper - The only artiste who make a song about necrophilia work. Welcome to my Nightmare with the incomparable voice of Vincent Price on Black Widow is up there as one of the best.
Celine Dion -might be sacrilegious, but I think her version of River Deep, Mountain High is better then our Tina's. 
Andrea Bocelli - what a voice.
Rolling Stones -Paint it Black and another all time fave, Sympathy For The Devil.

Best painting music:
Beethoven...all of his stuff -especially the symphonies- but the best is the Piano Concerto No 5 (The Emperor)
Mike Oldfield
All chillaxing stuff.


People who should never have been near a microphone or a musical instrument:

UB40- They are at the above the pinnacle of my I CANNOT STAND THE SOUND OF YOU list.
Lighthouse Family- should be let out to sing dirges at funerals and nowhere else.

Lucky even to get a trial. A rope over a convenient branch and a horse without a saddle would seem about right, don't you think?

I'm with you on the rope idea. The worst sound ever is slide guitar music. Paris Texas was -in my personal opinion- a cr*p film made infinitely cra**ier by Ry Cooder's slide guitar soundtrack.

But I take issue with you over rock. Waaaay back in the day, before Stock, Aitkin and Waterman et al there was real music...and it was called rock. Deep Purple, ELP, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin, Nazareth and most of their derivatives were all brilliant bands. Glam rock was also great (my period of music) but then some tw*t(s) thought that Soul, Disco, R&B and Punk were good ideas (someone else who should hang by the same C&W rope). Rock music is still going strong with an even bigger following than before -AC/DC and Iron Maiden are still pulling in the crowds wherever they go. This smaltzy, girly, pretentious stuff nowadays is drivel of the first order (bit like UB 40). Rock music has evolved and left most of the other types in its wake.

This is from a man who thinks Beethoven is the dogs, enjoys English Folk music, loves the Goons, the Bonzo's, Python and even the Goodies...and of course ROCK MUSIC! Categorise that!

I have a catholic taste in music. There is good C&W music, there is good rock music and there is some absolutely awful orchestral music. I also like some "easy listening", jazz and world music.

However, there is no good rap. None. never. All bad.

I've lately been listening to the album Adore by The Smashing Pumpkins whilst I paint and write (sometimes!) essays and really I think this song, Tear, deserves more attention. It is never mentioned with the best songs of this album, let alone Smashing Pumpkins greatest hits, but I love the drums and general feel of the song. Should of course be played LOUD for full effect!

[Rammstein   Yay...just discovered them...excellent stuff]


I enjoy listening to epic, dramatic music from Two Steps From Hell &
Audiomachine.   It seems a perfect accompliment to sweeping 10mm
battles or to help beat those painting blues...

Youtube is good here as it includes 3 or 4 hour collected works so easy
to use when playing larger battles.





Another favourite is this which includes a charge of the Polish Hussars
with accompanying piece "Preliator" by Globus.   I defy anyone not to
be moved by this (starts about 1:30 and gets even better at 2:36).

For those cognoscenti amongst you who -same as me- like their music a tad on the heavy side with a bit of Moorcroftian, fantasty on a galactic level thrown in (like Hawkwind but louder) then I can recommend Gloryhammer, a group of Celtic persuasion who have seriously upgraded folky style tunes into loud, heavy rock but surprisingly, you can understand the lyrics, it's not just a noise. They have a few tracks on Spotify.

It certainly helps if you like music when you have a mate in the media business.

It seems Youtube links are turning to black bars in most browsers...

Does
or
work for anyone else?

First is full URL in the youtbe short cut, second is just the video reference (the numbers/letters post the "="...).

Edit - full URL in the shortcut gives #invalid link#, video ref gives the black bar.

- Youtube's "sharing" URL as a Youtube link.

https://youtu.be/Cufnu_dJc-4 (https://youtu.be/Cufnu_dJc-4) - Youtube's "sharing" URL as a URL link.

Hmm, either my browser (Chrome) and others are b0rking the link display, or Youtube or the Forum code has been tweaked and fecked it.

Embedded - which I seem to be too cackhanded to get to work at all, oh well.

The top hatted gentlemen seemed to be enacting some sort of mating dance. Is this now common up North?
Title: Re: Top Tunes!
Post by: fsn on 09 September 2016, 06:54:18 AM
Oh yes. Quite common. His mode of dress and range of movements are quite regular for the North British male trying to attract a female of the migrating or touring type. Every street corner sometimes, semi-naked males, flouncing their proto-kilts and doffing their reprehensible headgear at anything vaguely female who can't say "loch" properly.

Isn't nature wonderful?


There is something in the music that stirs my blood. I feel the dark need to dig out a plaid and take my chances on the streets of Liverpool.

Why does this remind me of the Telly Goons?

For those who do not know about the Goons ....




P.S. So glad I can say "loch" properly. Means I can also pronounce "Blucher" properly - unlike some, including the author, who say, "Bloosher."   :o

There are many great videos related to that one including "Angry Scottish Grandad" who uses only one word I can understand - fortunately he uses it a lot!   ;D

I think I went too geeky when I wrote I was "loching" for the pronunciation. :D
(I like using "I" four times in the same sentence)
And, yes, it is time for me to take my meds.

First off, that wasn't singing, it was somebody getting their rocks off. Secondly it wasn't a music video; rather it was soft porn, which appears to be the norm these days. Meanwhile I'm listening to some early Motown, Chess and Stax courtesy of Spotify. Now that's what I call music!
