I've said it before and I will say it again. This woman cannot sing !

I'd love to see them "cut this loose" live.

LAME

What  a curious song. 

I mean: it's so bad, why have they bothered?

(How rude of me!)

i suppose there was a moment when sounding amateurish and as if you don't give a shit was interpreted as "arty".
that moment has passed.

Yeah, too bad. A song by Cole titled Loveless ought to be good...
Cheers

Hey, Frawg, you can request it. I'll do it in a sec an see what happen.

They should count their lucky stars they have a contract.

I always thought the B-side to Joshua Tree was better than the A-side. To those under their late 20s.... that means the 2nd half of the CD.

Is this originally a Lightfoot tune? Who covered who here?

Except for the Lanois bits, this is a dull and or boring song.
She drones on and on. The piano, much like her singing, drones on and on as well.

I have a huge soft spot for this song, as the only one on Murmur where you can actually understand the lyrics. LOL 10

What a surprise: a slow, melancholy number by the Junkies.

My first upload attempt - cool.

Now we just need to get it played!

s ;)

this is the worst song ever. EVER. i'm serious.

Ah! Part of the "River trilogy." Got a chance to hear the entire set during a CJ concert. Best way to hear this song.

best bands around?!? man, you gotta get "around" more. or, wait...maybe "further around?" i don't know. band sucks.

Time to put a CD on.

I know I'm in the minority, but I've always had a "thing" for Minnie Driver. I don't have the CD, but was surprised when it came out, the songs I've heard were decent, if not great.

Stars On 45 !!

Ok, WTF? Is this a live version from the Let It Be movie?

... Anyone else know if Poi is still extant and if they have put out a CD anytime recently?

... The band broke up in 1999. Not too ssssooooon.

The best thing about this song is the incredible band backing him up.

I like Dylan. Never thought I'd say it. This grooves... and ain't it the truth.

How is it possible that someone rates this song Ho Hum?

... if you listen, you'll notice the difference. they're changing. perhaps our opinions need to change as well.

Methinks we should all pick up the RP donations pace...

They seem to be channeling a bit of "The Doves" also.

Or are "The Doves" channeling Devlins?

Procol Harum.. their songs are as elusive of meaning as the band's name. Gotta love them. Conquistador just seems to speak so poetically to the dark nature of the war-monger's arrogance.

Hits or no hits, Pirates is Rickie Lee's masterpiece.

im sick of this whiney boo hoo crybaby bitch.. jeez do us a favor and go jump already! how about some UPLIFTING music for a change?

The Beatles, in all their permutations, were simply the best.

A) This is a landmark album and
2) The cover is fantastic.

... I know country, I grew up with Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn and Hank Williams and Roy Acuff.

This is yuppie faux country junk.

As much as I sometimes hate to admit it, I just can't help but to have a huge soft spot for Yes.

Another candidate for the Margo Timmons Cash Flow Covers Record.

Bill seems to have an abnormal desire to play weird instrumentals. I wish he didn't.

Precious little in your life is yours by right or won without a fight....

Trite.

Sorry, but this is too much Beatles for me at one time.

Stevie RULES.

Ahhh...BEFORE they became a political tool...

if you like this tune you should try to dig up a copy of the Buckingham Nicks album. That was a masterpiece. Still not released on CD for some wierd reason. I think someone even has an online petition to the record company to get them to do so.

I heart Margot Timmins.

It feels like November 3, 2004 all over again..... repeat playlist?

I like REM but old gay guys freak me out.

no need for Elton... ever, really.

Ironic thing is not everbody was talkin' 'bout Harry, ever. And it was a shame. He deserved more recognition. But not everyone gets the POINT.

Thank god he killed himself...

What a shame. The last hour had such good music, and now we hear this.
Well, I hope someone else likes it. I switched station.

kill me now

... Cool. My first upload.

I don't think I've ever heard that!
With this music for a while , too. Aging myself.
Sound like early ASIA. Always did like their sound. ( both)
A 9.
Heh, moogs!

... I kind of agree with Arbiter, but at least it's a faithful cover. Better than the whiney Margeaux Timmons covers.

The junkies are great and I'd really like to have margot timmins' babies

All Elton John sucks 100%.

just when you think it's okay to hate Elton John for all his cheese, you are reminded that he used to write songs like this.

Another artist that gets an unaccountably large amount of airtime on a supposedly eclectic station.

Saw her back when this album came out. She played a small theatre here in Tucson, with October Project opening, for all of $9 a ticket. Tore down the house when she performed this song (male backup singer did the high harmony part).

Still a powerful tune.

Puff, the Magic Dragon?

Classic tune from the Kinks.

Does she have a clone named "Maria McKee"?

for me, the guitar solo is a mini masterpiece, like a postcard sized Rembrandt

I was busy at work, only partially listening to RP. This song made me put down my pencil and dream...

Harry Chapin reincarnate

I don't know why I like this song, but I really, really like it.

... Lot of Air on RP.

... they don't play things like fearless much on classic radio, but these floyd "staples" get played a lot.

:puke: :puke: :puke: --so repetitious I was getting ready to zap the channel.

i wonder if paul schwartz and alan parsons ever do lunch...

this album is one of my all time favorites. Morphine is an eerily attractive band. I saw them perform only one time, and loved them even more. This song is not the best off that album, but love that feeling it derives!

CCR-ish too...

He IS good, but Ray Thomas(?)/Moody Blues plays better.imo.

Thank you. And I concur with those who admire the arrangement of this song. Better than ever, imho.

Is it me, or does this sound a whole lot like the Cure???

The opening sweep of the piano keys sounded like The Boomtown Rats - "I Don't Like Mondays." Well, at least IMHO.

... I'd love to hear Ms. Timmins giddy, giggling and silly about something just for the heck of it.

I love Mills' vocals too, but the problem with this song is that it's all icing and no cake. It's more of an "idea" than a song. I wish they had taken the time to flesh it out (and drop the spoken voice bits).

Hm, I do believe this is my favourite CJ album, though the Trinity Sessions is a strong contender. On this album, Speaking Confidentially is a killer for me. Like this one too, though.

Yeah I heard it too, maybe he needs to go back in the studio and do a re-take

Just cause the owner likes it doesn't mean it is good, oh wait nevermind, I'm thirsty, time to make some Kool Aid

Remember when R.E.M. used to be a rock and roll band that made compelling music? Slap a copy of Murmur or Reckoning or Fables on the old CD player if you've forgotten.

You forgot about Chris Squire! 8O

Wow, what a timewarp backwards. Caught me totally off guard this morning. Yes still ranks as one of the best blends of incredible musical talent, writing, and composition. I mean, cmon, Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Rick Wakeman, and Steve Howe? They're all geniuses.

... This, like most Beck--all Beck?--sucks.

kd Lang's cover is much better than this.

Because it's directly lifted from Paula Cole. Bank it:

http://www.paulacole.com/multimedia/audio/paula-ordinary.mp3

she has the rare ability to craft songs that sound authentically old.

My upload....I am constantly amazed at the song writing of Michael Timmons and moreso his brilliant guitar work that runs like an undercurrent under his lyrics and Margo's voice - superb musicianship !!

Overplayed. There are so many great songs on this CD.

Not Dire Straits best but anything with Mark Knopfler on guitar is great.

This song is so much better than coffee for adding energy to the start of the morning.....and I *like* coffee.

... This whole estate sale thing is eerie. It's all the stuff they had in their house or ever cared about. All the Grammys, gold and platinum records, handwritten song lyrics.

No kidding, this is horrific - make him stop! The "genre blend" doesn't work in this instance, it hurts.

Q-Tip w/ REM???? I would've never thunk it. Kind of a strange combo but damn I enjoy it!

I'm too young I guess, but Joni just annoys me.

Don't know what it is about Joni that I can't get over. It's her voice I think. Sticking to a note would be nice

Is this the new Cowboy Junkies CD?

I think I hear the inspiration for a Leo Sayer tune.

Intriguing. Need to reflect further on this one before judging.

What a song! Amazing dynamics! When that school kid scream brings in the main part of the song ---- top of the game!

Anyone know what the singy-voice is saying during the one break in this song?

And am I mistaken, or did he also do a sequel to this song?

Stop whining everybody...it's not Metheny's opus magnus, but it's a fun tune from his 'rocknroll' album American Garage. ANY Pat is better than no Pat...

Is it even possible for Suzanne Vega to write and/or sing a bad song? I think not. She's amazing.

It seems almost indelicate to speak of this album. Music doesn't get any closer to the heart of man, or god, than this.

I think I'm gonna fall asleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

No, sir, don't like it. Too mopey. Give me Neil's version any day.

One of the very few songs to capture the true essence of the 60's ...

That's a 7 dudes.

Not their best. (That place is reserved for "what's the frequency Kenneth")

enough. this guy is seriously competing with DM for the "ridiculous amounts of undeserved RP airtime" award.

This is a test.....a really long test.....

... Belong, Country Feedback, Texarcana, and Me and Honey still stand out as some of the best of the 20 year catalogue. But the last decade hasn't been easy for me to access. I'm not on the "sold out" band wagon though--the bad evolved, matured. And I didn't. At least not in the same direction.

Mills' harmonies always did strike me as the "icing on the cake." And this may be one of the best examples of that.

I am thinking if there had been no Joni Mitchell, or Judy Collins or Joan Baez--there would be no Suzanne Vega. Remember that no one breaks into music without some kind of pioneer ahead of them, paving the way.

this stuff makes my skin crawl, personally. just sounds silly.

Like it... when I heard the intro, thought it was the Dandy Warhols a la "13 Tales From Urban Bohemia."

What difference? This should be played on commercial radio, not on PR. We're not tuned in here to hear what we can hear everywhere. We're here to hear the pearls and diamonds that other stations do not play. That's why I rated it a 1.

The Moody Blues are the worst band since the Beach Boys.

I could live without Traffic altogether. Puts me in a coma.

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

this is the best album, los lobos keeps getting better!

... and I'm overly generous

Cheap: quoting Richard III in your song title.

I bet they don't even know what it means exactly.

Overrated, overplayed and over here!!!

Why is this "song" in the rotation???

Wow. Nothing like a song to instantly transport one back to junior high school.

... Man, we sure could use Harry Chapin today...

I really love every Cure song I have ever heard, including this one. Yet I do not own a single album. I kind of have an aversion to seeking out greatest hits compilations... so, can anyone out there recommend the one Cure album that's a must-own?

What exactly is a "cinnamon girl"??? :-k

This song sounds a lot like a band that came out of Jersey in the late 80's, Tiny Lights.
