The Cure - Love Song
(Oct 18, 2010 - 04:21) | I will always love you...
when I first heard this song it reminded me of one person
and I still love the song
but not the person

Paul Simon - She Moves On
(Oct 18, 2010 - 03:17) | I haven't heard this song in a loooooonnng time. Thanks for letting me hear it. I loved that whole album at one time.
|
Joan Osborne - If I Was Your Man
(Oct 18, 2010 - 03:10) | I like this song. I like the sound of the strings... is it a sitar? Following it with Dead can Dance was brilliant. Superb set.
|
Bob Marley - Zion Train
(Sep 10, 2010 - 07:43) | Ray Charles then Marvin Gaye and next Bob Marley. You've definitely got my attention.
|
David Bowie - Fame
(Sep 10, 2010 - 05:07) | This whole album was mind blowing in my opinion. It was really smooth and I still think it's quite sophisticated. I take the album as a whole when I listen to this album.
|
Big Head Todd & The Monsters - Broken Hearted Savior
(May 25, 2010 - 03:11) | My husband dedicated this song to me in 93 because we were going through marital problems. He is and was my broken hearted savior. He has always put me first. After 31 years of marriage he is still my broken hearted savior because I'm still a fairly fucked up person but he accepts me this way.
|
Imogen Heap - Canvas
(May 25, 2010 - 03:05) | I like everything she's done and all her projects. I'm glad she's making music and having some success at it. With all the pop culture total shite we are expected to buy up like drones in a bad old 50's movie about zombies, Imogen Heap gives a fresh wind of authenticity to her music.

Cat Stevens - Miles from Nowhere
(May 25, 2010 - 03:02) | I spent hours and hours and hours in my bedroom listen to this album over and over, back when you had albums, and they came in a big cardboard holder that often had lyrics (big enough to read, not like the cd lyrics some cd's come with). I would sometimes listen to side a and sometimes side b and I thought it was brilliant and true and loving and meaningful. It's on my iPod these days and since the people who I am usually with are young adults, like my children or their friends and stuff like that, I can only listen to it alone. So far all my young companions hate that Cat Stevens record. I don't blame them. I have such wonderful memories of staying up late, going out and smoking a joint in my Volkswagen and then coming back in and turning on that album and totally letting myself get enveloped by the songs and the lyrics of this particular album.

Chris Smither - The Devil's Real
(Apr 08, 2010 - 23:16) | Hell to the yeah. This song is SO real and heartfelt that I can't help but stop whatever I am doing to just listen when it comes on.

Citizen Cope - Healing Hands
(Mar 31, 2010 - 19:34) | I have never heard of him but I put him on my shopping list after listening to this. This really makes me feel good.
|
Cowboy Junkies - No Birds Today
(Mar 24, 2010 - 02:55) | No disrespect to the fans intended. I just have problems with Cowboy Junkies because they seem to be so aware of how cool and out of the box they are that I almost think they are their own biggest fans.

Sarah McLachlan - Building a Mystery

Wow we are completely on the same page. Those are my exact top shelf choices as well. 
|
Air - La Femme D'Argent
(Mar 23, 2010 - 23:23) | Seriously? I am truly amazed that this song is so strongly rated. It actually put a bad taste in my mouth. But it is being foll0wed by Air La Femme D'Argent and that cleared me right up.

R.E.M. - Me In Honey

|
Great Lake Swimmers - Everything Is Moving So Fast
(Mar 17, 2010 - 20:38) | I just added this to my shopping list at Amazon. I can't thank you enough for bringing me new music that I love. When I can afford to get my shopping list I will make a contribution to RP as well.
|
Van Morrison - Caravan
(Mar 16, 2010 - 23:37) |  I had this record. Listened to it until it wouldn't play on the record player anymore.
|
R.E.M. - World Leader Pretend
(Mar 16, 2010 - 22:58) | Had to go read the lyrics before I posted. I have this song on my iPod constantly, but you know, when you listen to an iPod and not a record player with that big vinyl cover to love (and read the lyrics from) I don't know the lyrics to a ton of songs I love. When I was a teen all my music was from albums and the cooler the cover, the better it was to lay in my bedroom with the headphones on and read the lyrics. After hotboxing my VW.
|
Pearl Jam - Just Breathe
(Mar 16, 2010 - 19:15) | Fun to listen to and think about their first album and hear the changes in the lyrics. Vedder has grown into a man. It's lovely.
|
Tori Amos - Strange Little Girl
(Mar 16, 2010 - 19:07) | There is nothing about this song that is very signifying. The chorus is weak and the verses are weaker. She has a couple tunes that touch my soul deeply. This one doesn't touch anything but the mute button.
|
Basement Jaxx - Scars
(Mar 16, 2010 - 19:03) | Well this is very different from the other songs RP plays....
|
Morcheeba - Aqualung
(Feb 21, 2010 - 12:52) | I like Morcheeba. I've heard a few of the other songs that you play once in a while. Thanks for turning me on to the band.
|
Queens Of The Stone Age - I Never Came
(Feb 08, 2010 - 15:36) | Thank you. I needed something a little more rock and a little less folk today. Trying to get hours worth of work done in a few hours and this sort of tune makes me sit up and get to work for some reason.
|
Tom Petty - Learning To Fly
(Feb 07, 2010 - 12:00) | I never liked this song. I don't know why. I have heard it a whole lot on the radio and I still have not got a taste for it. I'm always happy when it's over.
|
Deep Forest - Sweet Lullaby
(Jan 24, 2010 - 15:44) | I have not heard this song in forever. Thanks for playing it. And thanks to the poster below me.... I just about pissed myself laughing at that also.
|
Beth Orton - Stolen Car
(Dec 27, 2009 - 20:02) | I listened to this CD on a Grayhouse from LA to Chicago. It has a very vivid memory for me.
|
Elton John - Burn Down The Mission
(Dec 27, 2009 - 18:20) | I'll never forget holding this full sized album in my hands and just thinking it was absolutely amazing. I think I got it for Christmas one year. Music doesn't have the same feeling when I buy a CD.
|
Ryan Adams - My Winding Wheel
(Dec 13, 2009 - 16:47) | I'm just not a fan of country music. Ryan Adams is not country but he IS countryish in a way that I find unappealing.
|
Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire
(Dec 12, 2009 - 14:00) | In reading the comments I see that KOL don't have fans on RP. Except me. I was told by every fellow music lover I know that KOL are just a throw away commercial band, I've been called "silly" for liking them. Nonetheless, I have them on my iPod and like pretty much every song. I especially appreciate the "Closer" tune.
|
Frou Frou - Let Go
(Dec 01, 2009 - 21:44) |  This song is fantastic. I am putting in my rolling playlist. thanks for reminding me of it!!!!

Agreed! Not his best, but I still haven't heard him do anything that I didn't like. I am a Chris Isaak fan from way back when.
|
Portishead - Roads
(Sep 13, 2009 - 02:33) | I think this is a classic album. It does not ever sound dated, in my opinion. I think Portishead was way, way ahead of it's time.
|
The Church - Under The Milky Way
(Sep 07, 2009 - 10:53) | I have had so much fun with this song. I've done all sorts of illicit but really fun activities while listening to this tune. I never get tired of it and I probably never will! 
|
Los Lobos - Good Morning Aztlan
(Sep 07, 2009 - 06:20) | Good morning indeed! It's just getting daylight in Los Angeles and this is a great song to get me going!
|
Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues
(Sep 07, 2009 - 06:02) | I love Dylan's Modern Times album from 2006. He knows what aging is like. I am 50 and I respect his honesty and perspective on the concept of time.
|
Bruce Cockburn - Burden of the Angel-Beast
(Sep 07, 2009 - 05:45) | One of my dearest friend has the middle name Angel and I call him Angel-boy sometimes. But he can be a real Angel-beast on occasion. I think I will call him Angel-beast now when there is an occasion for it. (He is a dear friend but can also be a pain. I guess everybody has one of those in their lives.)

I totally disagree with you. In my opinion he has enormous talent and a very low key demeanor. I enjoy his work a lot. I think he writes great lyrics and I feel that his voice is unique and special.

B.B. King - The Thrill Is Gone

Aretha Franklin - Rock Steady

Joni Mitchell - Jericho
(Sep 06, 2009 - 18:36) | I had the pleasure of showing her to a 21 year old person the other day. He had never heard of her at all and was blown away. I had a feeling he might like her because he loves Amy Winehouse. And no Amy Winehouse jokes because I love her to death and I feel terrible that she's going through so much shit.  I know that Joni was angelic and Amy is not, but both so gifted. I was really shocked that there are so many young people out there who have not heard of Joni Mitchell.

Patty Griffin - Let Him Fly
(Sep 05, 2009 - 20:51) | If you haven't already got this in your personal collection, click on it and buy it. Every track is phenomenal, wise, sorrowful and beautiful. It's an old album, but it will never actually get old. It is beyond time.

Neil Young - Out On The Weekend
(Sep 05, 2009 - 13:40) | I can't say I don't love Neil, or CSNY, because I always have, but on the other hand, lately his songs make me sleepy. I'm going to have to listen to something else for awhile because I'm trying to get work done!

U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
(Aug 20, 2009 - 01:03) | The lyrics to this song are just beautiful. I used to live in Joshua Tree and the park is definitely inspiring. The thing that gets me is that I have felt exactly like this song what I am looking for and after all the years since this song first came out, it's still true for me.
|
Pearl Jam - Nothing As It Seems
(Aug 19, 2009 - 23:15) | This song reminds me of Shine On You Crazy Diamond for some reason. Does anyone else think they hear little influences of that album in Nothing As It Seems?
|
Moby - Everloving

The Ocean Blue - Between Something and Nothing
(Aug 09, 2009 - 20:02) | This is so sweet. It reminds me of being younger. It sounds so damn delicious after all these years. I had completely forgotten about Ocean Blue. I had a cassette tape mix that someone made for me that had this song on it. Lovely things to ruminate....
|
Sarah Fimm - Let It Run
(Aug 09, 2009 - 19:52) | I just really like dark, moody songs. This has a little bit of Manson's "Great Big White World" which I don't think I've ever heard on here before. I'm not a Marilyn Manson fan per se, but Mechanical Animals was just an awesome album all the way around. So I will have to listen to Sarah Fimm and see how moody she is....
|
The Raconteurs - Steady As She Goes
(Aug 09, 2009 - 19:41) | Their name is pompous. I sort of like their music but the name always makes me think of being in college. That's a college word. The Raconteurs... how about the Shakespeares or the Mark Twains?

Morphine - Top Floor, Bottom Buzzer
(Aug 09, 2009 - 19:37) | 
besides being a badass song, their name makes me smile. That stuff is great on the rare occasion that I am celebrating extremely heavily.

Freedy Johnston - Bad Reputation
(Aug 09, 2009 - 19:23) | I guess he's still around. His website http://www.freedyjohnston.com/ says he's going to be in New York. The first time I heard this song I thought "Wow. These lyrics remind me of me." and I still think that after all this time.
Damn. Life is such a trip.

Thievery Corporation - Until The Morning

Everybody's different. This song can never be long enough for me. I put it on repeat and listen to it for a couple hours. It's a huge part of me.

Cat Stevens - On The Road To Find Out
(Aug 08, 2009 - 12:45) | I'm sorry about how Cat stopped making this kind of sincerely touching and motivating music. This whole album is still one of about five I can't seem to live without. There is a ton of good music out there, and I don't blame him for living his life as he sees fit, but I believe this album will outlive anything else he has ever done.
|
March of the Mannequins - Tender Murderer

The only problem I have is that the vocals remind me of the bad 80's (or was it the 90's?) Canadian pop star Corey Hart (anyone remember "Sunglasses at Night"?). Sorry, hope I didn't ruin it for anyone.
I remember Corey Hart, and LOVED sunglasses at night. It isn't so much that the voices sound the same, I just get different vibe off of this rainbow. The sadness is the same in both voices.

Tracy Chapman - Another Sun

Beth Orton - Central Reservation

Radiohead - High and Dry

Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues
(Mar 09, 2009 - 22:20) | I love this song. It is happy and it is sad, all at the same time. It is a combination of ballerina slippers and steel toes boots.

Eels - Novocaine for the Soul

|
Joe Walsh - Rocky Mountain Way
(Mar 09, 2009 - 22:10) | I don't know why, but I hate this song. Not in an overtly hateful sort of way. It's just that every time I hear it, I feel like I'm sitting in the waiting room at the car dealership waiting to get my oil changed. You know that feeling of "this place isn't all that bad but I hate it here!!"?
|
Telepopmusik - Breathe
(Mar 08, 2009 - 22:14) | I like this song. I like the technotrance aspects of it, and I actually do need somebody to remind to just breathe once in a while. Otherwise I get all angsty and out of sorts.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Riviera Paradise
(Mar 01, 2009 - 19:21) | Everytime I hear this song I remember hearing about his death and being astounded that we had lost one so necessary, so precious, and so never to be replicated. I've put this song on and replayed it 1000 times just to feel a little of that sweet spirit.

Dead Can Dance - The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove

Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
