Yep. And a little of In My Time of Dying. By the way, Jimmy Page called, he wants his guitar back.

BoDeans - Good Things
(Mar 26, 2012 - 12:36) | Just wanted to check in and see if people are still complaining about the grammar on this one.

Rush - Tom Sawyer

How about some stuff from "2112" or "Farewell to Kings"?
That's true, also "Trees" from Hemispheres would fit in here pretty well I think.

Michelle Shocked - Secret to a Long Life
(Nov 03, 2009 - 12:33) | So, based on this wanton repetition, one must conclude that Michelle Shocked and band unfortunately will not be blessed with a particularly long life.

Steely Dan - Don't Take Me Alive
(Aug 25, 2009 - 11:11) | This was the album that woke me up to how good Steely Dan were. I happened to hear the whole album on WBCN in Boston one evening. Before that I just knew them by "Reeling in the Years" and "Rikki Don't Lose That Number". Then I went out and bought this and all their previous albums.

Rush - The Enemy Within
(Jul 27, 2009 - 09:18) | Thanks, this is good song from a very under-rated and under-appreciated album. "Between the Wheels" would be an even better choice from this album though. Bill?

Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street

OK, I know what you're up to - you're trying to get somebody to comment on how you use the same comment for a lot of songs on RP. Well, I won't fall into that trap, no sir not me.

Squirrel Nut Zippers - Hell
(Jun 11, 2009 - 08:52) | Oh no, this reminds me of being in on-hold "hell" with Go Daddy support...  How ironic that this is used for their on-hold music!

Steven Wilson - Harmony Korine

Porcupine Tree - Dark Matter
(Jun 04, 2009 - 11:06) | My favorite lead guitar solo was from Led Zep's "Ten Years gone". I think I have a new favorite now.

Rush - Limelight

Rush - Subdivisions
(May 11, 2009 - 15:24) | "Countdown" from the same album would have been a nice segue from Snow Patrol's "If There's a Rocket..."
|
Steely Dan - Aja
(May 05, 2009 - 10:05) | Yes, Steve Gadd's drumming on this is incredible. I used this song to audition hi-fi equipment back in the day.

Steely Dan - The Royal Scam

Ani Difranco - Gravel
(Apr 28, 2009 - 12:17) | Really not good on any level. She seems to be trying too hard to be artistic but it ends up a bunch of nonsense - to me at least. Please play less of her so hopefully I never have to use mute.
|
Aimee Mann - Save Me
(Apr 28, 2009 - 10:37) | Such pure tone, reminds me of Karen Carpenter in that respect. If it wasn't for a slight nasal quality, she would be too perfect, so I'll take her as she is.
|
Joe Walsh - Rocky Mountain Way
(Apr 10, 2009 - 10:46) | Surprising to hear this here, not complaining but you should instead play some of his "deeper cuts" like Meadows, Welcome to the Club or Mother Says. Thanks to Clear Channel, RMW is forever burnt-out.

OSI - Once
(Mar 08, 2007 - 09:59) | Relayer wrote: YEA! This is my song upload!
OSI is one of my favorite bands, very Porcupine Tree-ish (and Steve Wilson joined them for one song on their first album.
Thanks, cool to hear this on RP. (and don't forget who turned you on to them!)

Chicago - I'm A Man
(Jan 11, 2007 - 14:35) | Recognized the bassline right away. And I think the first time I've heard Chicago on RP in over 3 years of listening. Nice addition.

Yes, and under-rated too. Love the song with Johnny Cash.

Pink Floyd - Us & Them -> Eclipse

Massive Attack - Protection

Burn! (Hey I appreciate a good burn.) Yes emoticon --->

Oasis - Champagne Supernova
(Apr 09, 2006 - 12:17) | Ok, so I'm a sucker for a good hook. The avg. rating should still be higher IMHO, this gets an 8, as does the album overall.
And yes I've heard all about what kind of idiots they are supposed to be.
|
Pearl Jam - Black
(Apr 05, 2006 - 11:56) | Yes! I'm happy to see this rated at 8.2. It shows that most RP listeners really DO have good musical taste. This is one of, if not the best, rock album out of the 90s.
|
Crosby Stills Nash & Young - Country Girl
(Apr 03, 2006 - 20:09) | Wow, thanks for playing this. I can't say how much this album means to me. I can remember listining to this album on headphones repeatedly on my father's "Heathkit" receiver.

'til Tuesday - Coming Up Close
(Mar 14, 2006 - 18:51) | Still a favorite album after all this time. There was a magazine back then, if I recall correctly, named "Compact Disc Review" in which they rated this album, er CD, a perfect 10/10 (performance/sound quality).

While your comment about his stomach and brain is probably accurate, you could at least spell "emberrassing" correctly before categorizing a song as such.

Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil

That would be Nicky Hopkins. He also played for the Who, Rod Stewart, Steve Miller, and Jeff Beck among others. Was probably the most in-demand session piano player back then.

Beck - E-Pro
(Apr 11, 2005 - 15:02) | You know, as this guy continues to progress, I compare him more and more with Todd Rundgren. Which, of course, is a compliment to Beck and hopefully not an insult to Todd.

Sarah McLachlan - Solsbury Hill
(Oct 15, 2004 - 10:53) | This must be the lowest average rated song at RP with this many votes, and it still isn't low enough! :puke:

Sting - Send Your Love
(May 28, 2004 - 12:12) | Ok, I have to chime in here. I'm not hating this like most of the folks here, but it's not my favorite Sting by a long measure. I agree with Pyro and don't agree with Zeke19. Also, although I agree overall with hcaudill, the comment about "3-chord garage rock" is an unfair representation of his work with the Police, which was definitely more innovative than most other popular music during that time period.
I think Sting is a huge talent, and so do many the world's finest session musicians who have played with him. BUT, IMHO his work since The Soul Cages has been somewhat disappointing, i.e. the last album of his I bought was Ten Sumoner's Tales and that CD didn't get very much rotation. His work just lacks something that it had on those first 3 excellent solo albums... a sense of urgency or importance? I not exactly sure but I hope he gets it back.

Pat Metheny Group - Above The Treetops
(May 21, 2004 - 09:25) | Yes!!! A little more PM on RP would be cool. This is my favorite album from Metheny, and probably on my top 10 desert island list too.

Dar Williams - I Saw A Bird Fly Away
(Mar 09, 2004 - 07:49) | I haven't listened to RP in a few months, and after only 10 minutes of listening here comes one of those songs I have to mute everytime. This and a few too many other songs that just don't deserve the amount of rotation they get, are the reason I'm burnt out on RP after only a year of occasional (twice a week for a few hours) listening. Oh well looks like it's back to KFOG for now... :(
|
Cat Stevens - Angelsea
(Jan 13, 2004 - 10:59) | Wow, talk about a "deep cut". I haven't heard this since back in the day. And I didn't even own the album, my local radio station at the time WBCN in Boston used to play it. Great Job Bill!

The Who - Amazing Journey/Sparks

Not to get to technical but in 1969 there was no digital "sampling". That sound was created by a (primative by today's standards) analog synthesizer, probably a Moog.

Prince - When Doves Cry

Sorry, but I reach for mute on this one, too kindergarden-school-song-sounding for me.
