Neko Case - Buckets of Rain
(Jul 31, 2011 - 14:58) | Bob's voice and inflection adds so much to the words. They have been scrubbed clean here.
|
Supertramp - School
(Jul 23, 2011 - 19:25) | Guess I'll have to go to YouTube now and listen to the rest of this album.
|
Bruce Hornsby - The Way It Is

I grew up in Williamsburg Virginia. Use to see Bruce play at the local Holiday Inns and such.
I went to VCU, didn't he play at The Pass on Broad St?
|
Donovan - Sunshine Superman
(Mar 07, 2011 - 11:09) | Hippie bravado?
I'm thinking of the lyrics done in a hardcore rap style.
I think it works.
BTW
The cover looks like my first drivers license.

Richard and Linda Thompson - Just The Motion

I noticed that too.
"Down where the drunkards roll" would be nice.
|
Cat Stevens - Sad Lisa
(Feb 28, 2011 - 18:36) | Cat's been popping up lately, a good thing.
I sure had good taste for a 15 yr old.
|
Cake - Long Time
(Feb 24, 2011 - 18:05) | Either I'm getting hipper or they're getting better but I like.
|
Josh Ritter - Girl In The War
(Feb 19, 2011 - 16:12) | Saw him last year with John Prine. Great show.

Cowboy Junkies - Angel Mine
(Feb 14, 2011 - 18:56) | What if you can't hear her voice?
sirdroseph wrote:What happens if you dislike Margo's voice? Answer: you cannot like this band.

Joan Osborne - What You Are
(Feb 12, 2011 - 22:34) | Sadly such a low rating for a beautiful sound. Can't understand why the Junkies weak whispering is so popular.
|
Cowboy Junkies - Lay it Down
(Feb 12, 2011 - 22:19) | You know this band must want to rock out once in a while. Despite the success, it must be frustrating to spend your career playing under such a weak and limited voice.
|
Elton John - Levon
(Jan 10, 2011 - 13:31) | How fortunate for me. To be a kid discovering music on an AM clock radio when this was new.
|
Gregory Alan Isakov - That Moon Song
(Dec 09, 2010 - 00:00) | "and you came on strong like some running wave"
I always thought it was "runaway", which I like better because it sounds desperate and vulnerable.
|
Hellsongs - Paranoid
(Oct 27, 2010 - 14:50) | Ballsy!
In case you're wondering, yes, they do War Pigs as well.
|
Snow Patrol - Shut Your Eyes
(Oct 21, 2010 - 20:13) | That's really the kind of chord progression you learn in the first week of guitar lessons.
|
Neko Case - Deep Red Bells
(Aug 30, 2010 - 13:34) | You can really hear the engineer twisting the reverb knob on the chorus. A little too obvious.
|
Talking Heads - City Of Dreams

Funny, the opposite for me.
|
Porcupine Tree - Shesmovedon
(Jun 20, 2010 - 12:39) | westslope wrote: Nobody does She stomped on my heart songs better than Porcupine Tree.
Not to mention the Blame the Parents songs.
|
Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland
(Jun 17, 2010 - 14:22) | Did I mention that Clarence's mom taught science at my high school when this came out? Popular lady.
|
Nick Lowe - Peace, Love And Understanding
(Jun 17, 2010 - 08:04) | At first I thought it was an acoustic version of:
Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
|
Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism
(Jun 15, 2010 - 18:02) | This is really kind of epic. Slowly building and layering and swelling to a crescendo only to stop and leave you hanging in the air.
Similar technique as "Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber.
|
ZZ Top - Just Got Paid
(Jun 14, 2010 - 17:47) | Love the pre-beard ZZ Top.
My 2nd concert: Alice Cooper w/ ZZ opening. Those were the days.
|
Pink Floyd - Money
(Jun 11, 2010 - 15:47) | Used to have this 45. B side? Maybe Great Gig in the Sky.
Wonder if it's worth anything.
|
Pink Floyd - Time
(Jun 08, 2010 - 14:03) | I think I can postpone lunch for one of the most awesome guitar solos ever.
|
Mumford & Sons - Timshel
(May 27, 2010 - 13:58) | I love hearing something I like and checking the tour schedule.
Wow, they're coming to SF next week!!
Crap, it's sold out!!!
|
Pink Floyd - Us & Them -> Eclipse
(May 24, 2010 - 22:38) | gratefulgator wrote: Awesome song... awesome album. And listening to it while watching The Wizard of Oz is definitely trippy!
Well, one time, while babysitting my little brother, I got high and watched Yellow Submarine.
|
Jem - Amazing Life
(May 06, 2010 - 17:28) | terrible. I joined a facebook group that's against the overuse of the word "amazing". it's use indicates a lack of imagination. perfect example here.
|
Spoon - Written In Reverse

That's because they've perfected mediocrity.

I realise that this will probably be a hugely controversial posting but uuuggghhhh!!!!!

Patty Griffin - Blue Sky
(Apr 18, 2010 - 16:02) | I'm so glad her earlier work is getting attention here. I saw her at The Fillmore when this came out.
|
Coldplay + Buena Vista Social Club - Clocks
(Apr 01, 2010 - 22:19) | Whenever I listen to classical music for a while then come back to something like this, I realize the difference between the two is you already know what this is about after ten seconds or so. There's nothing more to gain from it.
|
Jethro Tull - Up To Me
(Mar 25, 2010 - 12:12) | I remember this song as a pause between the other epics on this record.
