You know it was a mellow set when.

Pink Floyd - Us & Them -> Eclipse

My father used to listen to Dark Side when I was two years old and one of my earliest memories is of me asking for the "long song with the heartbeats" and him proudly saying "Sure!" and playing it for me
:`)
I miss him...
Thankfully, sounds like you have great memories.... and some great music to evoke those emotions. :`)

I never noticed until you mentioned it. But am I really hearing it now, or just imagining it because i want to hear it, and want not to like it?

Awesome!!! Thanks RP!!
I'm with you on this one, Wally. Saw them in concert back in the 80's at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver. They put on an (unlike this song) intense show.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen - Behind The Sun
(Jun 12, 2007 - 14:47) | I first heard these guys on a podcast where they played a live gig in Washington DC. I was immediately intrigued and craved more. The more I listen the more I like. 8
I do chuckle when I hear the criticism of them sounding British or English. Bands like; The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Queen, Cream, Oasis (oh I'll get flack for adding them in this list), The Kinks, The Who, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Smiths, and Radiohead do tend to come to mind.
No, I'm not British.

Beethoven - Für Elise
(Jun 11, 2007 - 15:40) | My daughter played this at her piano recital last week. It moved me. That was defiantely my favourite version - this Beethoven character has nothing on her ;-)

Tom Petty - Yer So Bad
(May 24, 2007 - 12:07) | This tune is a regular request around the campfire. Love it. I caught my 5-year old singing it to herself as she played with her toys the other week.

Gabriel Rios - Stay
(May 22, 2007 - 11:31) | pop-y, yet understated, catchy, good beat, easy to dance to (Mr Clarke) and I found myself tapping my foot and signing along on the first listen, ergo must be Quite Likeable.

The Tragically Hip - Bobcaygeon
(May 15, 2007 - 07:43) | The imagery. Love it.
'Til The Men They Couldn't Hang, stepped to the mic and sang.... An alternative country band from the UK. Bill do you have any of them? I saw them at the Town Pump in Vancouver years ago (late 80's?). Big in Europe; here,not so much.

I don't think this is all that close to "Sundown," though there is a similarity. However, that's not a bug, it's a feature!

J.J. Cale - Crazy Mama

Social Distortion - Ball And Chain
(Apr 27, 2007 - 16:17) | Smoove_D wrote: How many people here work at desks and listen to RP through computer speakers or headphones? I do. And I wonder how that affects the way I rate songs.
This song, for instance, plays much better in my car with the volume cranked up or at a busy bar. That's how I first heard this song. I love it, so I'm giving it a 9.
But if I were hearing it for the first time right now--on crappy little computer speakers turned way down--I'd give it a 5.
I hear ya. Pun intended. It totally affects you rate songs. You can't hear them at their best.
Luckily, at the moment, I'm working at my home office and able to crank it.

The The - The Beat(en) Generation
(Apr 25, 2007 - 11:15) | There was an "alternative" station (X-FM) in our market that couldn't compete (ha - the gov't wouldnt grant them an FM license to compete) against the Pop-40 stations and they went off the air. This is the last song they played.

The Stone Roses - Love Spreads
(Sep 07, 2006 - 12:09) | This album, although fantastic, made me realize just how much i HATE hidden tracks. there was so much dead air on this album that I couldnt place it in my 5-CD carousel on random because it it seemingly never played a tune!

Pearl Jam - Inside Job

Random thoughts as to why an avocado:
The fruit is a symbol of love and lust. Or perhaps it has something to do with this song title "Inside Job." The pit of the avocado could symbolize the seed in the womb. Or if you're not a fan of the band it could have something to do with pits.

Jason Collett - Hangover Days

Neil is dumb like a fox. Streaming it for free because his anti-government sentiment wouldnt be accepted? B.S. A great way to create a buzz, is all.

U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
(May 15, 2006 - 21:15) | I Get It!
I couldn't figure out how people were posting so quickly. The song just started. I click on the title and BOOM 47 posts! Wow, I figure there must be a competition to see who can post the fastest.
Then I sees the dates. These are posts over the past 3 years! Ahhha the lightbulb turns on.
And not only am I slow to figure it out, but dumb enough to write it down. And press submit
