Dengue Fever - Uku
(Dec 26, 2012 - 10:01) | This is OK...not fantastic, but at least it's different. I much prefer it to hearing Where The Streets Have No Name by U2 for the thousandth time. That's why I come to RP, for different stuff. Leave the standard radio stuff out, Bill. Thanks.
|
Rush - Tom Sawyer
(Nov 21, 2012 - 12:16) | My favorite band by a long shot & I've seen them at least once on every tour for the past 30 years. This is a great, richly-layered song, but frankly I'm burned out on it. They have SO many other brilliant songs that I'd rather hear at this point. RP is where I come to hear stuff I can't hear every day on local radio. Shake it up, Bill.
|
Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing
(Aug 16, 2012 - 15:39) | Great song, but I'm very tired of it. I come to RP to hear stuff I don't hear every frickin day on the radio. RP is usually good about playing the more obscure stuff, but not this time.
|
Apocalyptica - Ruska
(Aug 16, 2012 - 14:53) | I'm sure someone else mentioned this, but the Halloween theme running through the background is creeping me out.
|
Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be
(Aug 16, 2012 - 13:54) | Is he saying "How does it feel like..."? That seems grammatically awkward. It should be either "How does it feel" or What does it feel like".
|
U2 - The Unforgettable Fire
(Jul 06, 2012 - 13:15) | Surprising and wonderful that they included this in their last tour. A Sort of Homecoming is also a little-known but powerful song.
|
Elbow - Mirrorball
(Jul 03, 2012 - 14:05) | RP has been pushing this band for a while, and I just can't get into them. I know I'm swimming against the tide of public opinion here since the comments are generally glowing. And in a world full of dumb group names, Elbow is pretty high on the dumb scale.
|
Stevie Wonder - As
(May 16, 2012 - 14:27) | God, what passion in his voice. I've never heard this song before, but I think it's now my favorite Stevie song. Very intense and powerful.
|
The Band - Up On Cripple Creek
(Sep 26, 2011 - 14:36) | I never understood what the fuss was about with this group. I guess you had to be there. Should be a decent 7, but I'm giving it a 5 because it's so overplayed and the lyrics are goofy.
|
!Deladap - Lautlos
(Sep 23, 2011 - 12:38) | I believe French and German music are the worst two types of music in the world.
|
Wolfstone - J-Time
(Jan 19, 2011 - 17:04) | My first thought was "Harden My Heart" by Quarterflash. Man, that's showing my age. And my taste.
|
Tom Waits - Downtown Train
(Jan 19, 2011 - 14:10) | If a man who can't sing can make a living as a singer, maybe I can be a professional golfer after all.
|
Coldplay - Violet Hill
(Jan 14, 2011 - 15:06) | Hey, Gwyneth Paltrow's husband can play some music, too! And BTW, I LIKE it...so sue me.
|
Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4
(Nov 10, 2010 - 14:32) | I always heard that 25, 6, and 4 are bus lines in Chicago. So you could either get to a destination by taking the 25 line or the 6 and 4 lines.
|
Nick Drake - One Of These Things First
(Oct 05, 2010 - 13:48) | The music sounds like Charlie Brown background music. Which I like...I just don't like Nick's voice. Flame away, it just annoys me. And I like Geddy Lee, for god's sake.
|
The Beatles - In My Life
(Jul 14, 2010 - 13:35) | If John Lennon couldn't make fanny packs cool, then no one ever will.

Goldfrapp - Utopia
(Jul 12, 2010 - 14:33) | I picture Madeline Kahn singing this in Blazing Saddles.
|
Toad The Wet Sprocket - Walk on the Ocean
(Jun 18, 2010 - 14:46) | Saw them in Annapolis, MD over Memorial Day weekend...the last show of the tour. Also stayed at same hoted as the band and talked to Randy (the drummer) for a while. Still no plans for new music, sorry to say.
|
Joan Armatrading - Love and Affection
(Mar 15, 2010 - 14:01) | I was going to slam this song when I thought it was a dude singing in a high voice, like Smokey Robinson. But when I found out it was Joan A, I'm OK with it. Go figure.
|
Iggy Pop - Lust for Life
(Mar 14, 2010 - 13:09) | Put some clothes on, man. I see nothing of value in this guy. Oh wait, I forgot he's a "trailblazer" of punk or whatever. I don't care.
|
U2 - The Unforgettable Fire
(Mar 14, 2010 - 09:22) | Very pleasantly surprised to see them play this at the Wash DC concert in the Fall...my favorite moment from the concert. Brought me back to my first U2 concert in 1984 during this tour.
|
The Waterboys - Old England
(Mar 05, 2010 - 15:27) | Saw them open for U2 at the Tower Theater near Philly in 1984. Never saw or heard much from them after that.
|
The Avett Brothers - The Perfect Space
(Jan 04, 2010 - 15:07) | I'm looking, I'm squinting, but I can't figure out what that thing is in the left of the cover...an arm? a shoulder? a hand? This is why I don't get art.
|
Whiskeytown - 16 Days
(Nov 18, 2009 - 14:15) | The acoustic beginning sounds just like the GEICO bowling commercial. But I think that's a 3 Doors Down song.
|
Nick Drake - From The Morning
(Aug 13, 2009 - 14:40) | Someday I'll agree with everyone and worship this guy. Today is not that day. I like the guitar, just don't dig the voice at all. I find it annoying.
|
Euphoria - The Getaway
(Aug 03, 2009 - 15:35) | Terrible. I just don't like any French music at all. Except J'aurais toujours faim de toi...which is rock and not from France. Aren't there any French rock songs?
|
Kali - Me Ki Sa Oule
(Jul 17, 2009 - 13:52) | every french song sounds exactly the same to me...same beat, same soppy romantic sound. Aren't there any french-speaking punk bands? Or metal? Or country?
|
Richard Shindell - Transit
(Jun 26, 2009 - 15:49) | Geez, Bill, one more depressing song in a row and I'm going to curl up in the fetal position on my floor for the rest of the day.
|
Vienna Teng - Augustine
(Jun 11, 2009 - 13:51) | I've wanted to like her music but never did until this song. This one really grabs me. Niiiiice.
|
Leonard Cohen - The Future
(Dec 11, 2008 - 12:38) | I had to look and see if it was Leonard Cohen or Tom Waits. Can there be a tie for the worst singer who ever lived?
jhorton wrote:Still the worst singer who ever lived.
Just freaking horrible.
|
Brian Eno - Dead Finks Don't Talk
(Nov 10, 2008 - 13:55) | This guy is a god at helping others create better music. He should stick to that. His own music (if this is any indication of it) is horrendous.
|
Jim Carroll Band - People Who Died
(Oct 20, 2008 - 14:50) | Terrible...the voice, lyrics, and nails-on-a-chalkboard guitar in the background all make me want to jump out my window. I'm on the first floor, but it would be a symbolic gesture.
|
Yello - The Race
(Sep 23, 2008 - 15:52) | "Welcome to It's Academic! I'm your host, Mac McGarry!" (Gotta be from DC to get this one)
|
Nick Drake - Which Will
(Sep 15, 2008 - 14:20) | Like the guitar, but the voice grates on me. Maybe someday I'll appreciate him, but now is not the time.
|
Nick Drake - One Of These Things First
(Jun 03, 2008 - 13:47) | The music is good but I really dislike his voice; it just grates on me. And yet Rush is my favorite band, and most people hate Ged's voice. Go figure.
|
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
(Feb 11, 2008 - 15:10) | Just saw U2 in 3D at the IMAX over the weekend. I highly recommend it. A little preachy and serious at times, but overall a great flick. The crowd in Buenos Aires is insane.
|
Rush - The Enemy Within
(Dec 05, 2007 - 15:00) | oh my god oh my god oh my god. My favorite band of all time!! And a rare one too...even I'm sick of Tom Sawyer on the radio all the time. And it's hanukkah, and Gary Weinrib is jewish. How appropriate.
|
Neil Young - Ordinary People
(Oct 10, 2007 - 15:08) | Bill should add a GONG button to the web page, like in the Gong Show. This song would be gonged.
|
Led Zeppelin - Tangerine
(Oct 01, 2007 - 13:12) | Great Zep song that is fortunately not burned out on radio. Big Head Todd does a really nice version of this song in their live record, too. BTW, it cracks me up how many high school kids are wearing Led Zeppelin shirts around.
|
Cake - Conroy
(Sep 06, 2007 - 12:49) | Arco Arena is a waaaay better instrumental.
|
Rush - The Enemy Within
(Oct 16, 2006 - 14:13) | YESSS! Never thought I'd hear my favorite group here. This is the icing on the RP cake. Now someone please explain how Rush isn't in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!! 32 years of musical excellence and integrity isn't enough, I guess.
|
Toad The Wet Sprocket - Windmills
(May 30, 2006 - 14:23) | 3 days til the Toad concert here in Baltimore. Hope they still get along together. Looking forward to a good show.
|
'til Tuesday - Coming Up Close
(May 12, 2006 - 08:06) | Oh Aimee, how I love thee. Can't wait to see her in Balt MD next month. Totally dig her voice and deeeep lyrics.
