Neil Young - Like A Hurricane
(Mar 03, 2013 - 19:14)
Well, Bill, I like it too.........{#Dance}

Wye Oak - Spiral
(Oct 20, 2012 - 20:48)
Different, intriguing....I think I like it!     {#Music}    

Tom Waits - Step Right Up
(Sep 30, 2012 - 20:05)
Oh no, not this again.............{#Headache}

Pink Floyd - Grantchester Meadows
(Sep 12, 2012 - 14:13)
I was hoping my antivirus would filter stuff like this out..........{#Headache}

The Kinks - Celluloid Heroes
(Sep 09, 2012 - 18:59)
Oh Pul-eeeeze.  I enjoy a good movie as well as the next guy, but our culture's obsession with the actors and actresses is a bit much....

Arvo Pärt - Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten
(Jan 29, 2012 - 19:46)
Great to have this in the mix!   {#Smile}

Ludovico Einaudi - Andare
(Dec 21, 2011 - 09:03)
Somehow this seems to be a nice soundtrack for the Winter Solstice......


Tame Impala - It Is Not Meant To Be
(Jul 27, 2011 - 19:03)
Flows kinda nicely, I think....{#Meditate}

Younger Brother - Train
(Jun 20, 2011 - 16:01)
Well RP has done it again.   Another simply awesome number that I would hear nowhere else.  

Younger Brother - Ribbon On A Branch
(Jun 01, 2011 - 11:57)
Just plain outstanding


Blondie vs. Philip Glass - Heart of Glass
(Feb 14, 2011 - 12:56)
Different....but strangely likable.

Tosca - Ocean Beat
(Feb 02, 2011 - 07:09)
A bit off the beaten path, but hey, that's why I listen in here................

Paul Simon - Homeless
(Dec 28, 2010 - 20:11)
With apologies to all the PS fans out there, this is just plain annoying.{#Arghhh}



James - Waltzing Along
(Dec 21, 2010 - 14:16)
This kinda flows along nicely.  I really cant say much for that cover picture, though.


Hank Williams - Settin' The Woods On Fire
(Nov 22, 2010 - 10:58)

Yes - Yes - Yes...couldn't agree more.

I like classic rock, I also like this, am 66 years old........ do I need to see a doctor?
 
At 62, I thought I was about the oldest one here, glad to have company.   Oh,and yes, this is a great song.....


Lyle Lovett - Fiona
(Oct 03, 2010 - 13:34)
Okay, I give....just what  is a one-eyed Fiona???   Oh wait, wait..... is that like a henway or something?  Pretty lame song, by the way.



Julie Miller - All My Tears
(Sep 17, 2010 - 21:19)
8  →  9

Matt The Electrician - On The Radar
(Aug 16, 2010 - 09:31)
First time I heard this....different, I like it!

Ray LaMontagne - Beg Steal or Borrow
(Jul 23, 2010 - 10:36)
A little bit of a country feel to this song....I like that. {#Smile}

Kirsty MacColl - Just Woke Up
(Jun 06, 2010 - 18:53)
I can't quite put my finger on it, this one just moves along nicely. Definitely quite likeable.{#Dance}

The Black Ghosts - Full Moon
(Jun 01, 2010 - 19:02)
Oh yeah.......... I think I am going to like this.


Banco De Gaia - Last Train to Lhasa
(Mar 06, 2010 - 17:21)
Really a quite creative and innovative tune, just a tad too long, though.

Beck - Soldier Jane
(Jan 25, 2010 - 20:22)
This one is starting to grow on me...7 > 8{#Sunny}

The Moody Blues - Om
(Dec 20, 2009 - 19:47)
Truely one of the best bands ever.  This is not my favorite song of theirs, but it surely exemplifies their creativity.  {#Meditate}


DJ Schmolli - God's Gonna Cut You Down
(Dec 12, 2009 - 19:15)
Went to see Johnny Cash twice in the 60's.  Though this is quite different from his material in those days, I still like it.


Bob Dylan - Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
(Dec 12, 2009 - 18:55)
Sorry, Dylan fans, but this is really getting old.........{#Puke}


Spirit - It Shall Be
(Dec 10, 2009 - 20:23)
Dated, maybe, but still sounds great to me,
as well as many of their other songs.
Liked it then, and still like it now.   {#Bounce}


Moby - Pale Horses (w/ Amelia Zirin Brown)
(Aug 30, 2009 - 21:32)
In spite of some of the less than positive comments,  I like this.  It's the "outside of the box" numbers like this that keeps me tunin' in to RP.



Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains
(Jul 10, 2009 - 21:44)
My favorite FF song,  good to hear it here.

Steven Wilson - Harmony Korine
(May 27, 2009 - 09:34)
This is the first time I have heard this.   Really a nice sound.  I'd give it a 7, maybe more.

Tom Waits - Step Right Up
(Mar 19, 2009 - 08:14)
Oh no...................not this again.....{#Headache}

Manic Street Preachers - To Repel Ghosts
(Feb 08, 2009 - 20:48)
Great song.....but I have this burning question about the band's name.  
Are they street preachers who are manic....
or....are they preachers who live on Manic Street ?????
Just curious......{#Wink} 



Snow Patrol - The Lightning Strike
(Jan 30, 2009 - 19:30)
I have only heard a few of this group's songs, but I really like what I am hearing so far......

Devo - Freedom of Choice
(Jan 22, 2009 - 21:02)
Wow........is this ever annoying !     {#Arghhh} 

Fleet Foxes - Your Protector
(Jan 18, 2009 - 08:28)
References to the Moody Blues, Coldplay and MMJ  point out just how good this band is.....

DeVotchKa - Viens Avec Moi
(Jan 13, 2009 - 08:31)
Love the accordion !

Fleet Foxes - Mykonos
(Jan 10, 2009 - 21:16)
What a great group.  Would be great to hear Blue Ridge Mountains.

Snow Patrol - The Golden Floor
(Jan 10, 2009 - 20:53)
How could anyone rate this a 1 ??   I don't get it........{#Ask}


Antonio Vivaldi - The 4 Seasons - Summer - Allegro Non Molto
(Jan 07, 2009 - 07:26)
Great to have in the mix..........

Quicksilver Messenger Service - Edward, The Mad Shirt Grinder
(Dec 20, 2008 - 13:48)
Good tune from a GREAT group !! {#Sunny}



The Moody Blues - The Story In Your Eyes
(Dec 15, 2008 - 19:43)
Best album cover ever...only surpassed by the music within.



It's A Beautiful Day - White Bird
(Dec 13, 2008 - 20:50)
This one plus Fresh Air really evoke this era for me......in a good way.


It's A Beautiful Day - Hot Summer Day
(Dec 07, 2008 - 19:07)
The prior misguided (but quite creative) icon blitz notwithstanding, this is a great song.



My Morning Jacket - Touch Me I'm Going to Scream, Part 2
(Oct 31, 2008 - 20:56)
This is the first time I have heard this.    A great blend of music and vocals.  A solid 9.

The Weepies - Little Bird
(Oct 12, 2008 - 17:47)
Love the album cover....the song isn't too bad either.



Jethro Tull - Reasons For Waiting
(Oct 12, 2008 - 17:41)
Without a doubt, my favorite JT song. {#Good-vibes}


John Mayall - California
(Sep 05, 2008 - 18:28)
So many songs seem to wear out their welcome after a few minutes, but this one keeps flowing nicely.


Hank Dogs - 18 Dogs
(Sep 01, 2008 - 19:19)
I really like the sound of this one....not exactly bright and sunny lyrics, though. {#Confused}



Fleet Foxes - Mykonos
(Aug 24, 2008 - 20:21)
I always like to hear a new sound. This song has it (imho)............{#Cool}



Mudcrutch - Shady Grove
(Aug 24, 2008 - 16:30)
Surely one of the best (maybe the best) version I have heard of this song........great instrumentation and vocals.

Detektivbyrån - E18
(Aug 22, 2008 - 20:29)
I don't recall hearing this (or anything out of the mainstream) on our local FM station; but wait, that's why I seldom listen to broadcast radio anymore.....{#Smile}


Cracker - Euro-Trash Girl
(Aug 08, 2008 - 21:19)
Not really much here............rather degrading, I would say.


John Anderson - Seminole Wind
(Aug 07, 2008 - 20:03)
I guess this is just one that you either like or you dont...I do.
Either way, I hope at least most can agree with the message.


Supertramp - School
(Aug 07, 2008 - 19:11)
Good to hear something from this very innovative group. I agree with keller1.....let's hear Rudy


Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill
(Aug 03, 2008 - 20:15)
Kinda surprised by some of the negative comments....off the beaten path songs like this set RP apart from almost all internet stations, and certainly from anything in the FM wasteland.


Rubén González - Mandinga
(Jul 20, 2008 - 20:45)
I enjoyed seeing (and listening to) Ruben In
The Buena Vista Social Club. This is a great song too...just a tad bit long though.
Greg Brown - Canned Goods
(Jun 30, 2008 - 12:50)
Waaaaaaaaaaaay too long.......
(and not very good either)
Portishead - Roads
(Jun 27, 2008 - 18:15)

Yeah, it's different, and not my favorite; but it is little gems like this that keep me addicted to RP.....

Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man
(Jun 09, 2008 - 21:03)
A solid 3 (ho hum) for me.
Cake - Sheep Go to Heaven
(Jun 08, 2008 - 13:35)
The kids in our backyard are not groovin' to the general drift of this song.

Tom Baxter - Skybound
(Jun 02, 2008 - 19:16)

(Feb 11, 2008 - 18:16)
different...different...different...I like it!
Grey Eye Glances - The Lost Coast
(Jan 17, 2008 - 13:15)
Surely one of the most memorable places I have seen anywhere in the
lower 48.....all 50 for that matter...the song is just a tad sappy, though.
Röyksopp - What Else Is There?
(Dec 31, 2007 - 20:11)

The Moody Blues - Evening/Twilight Time
(Jul 12, 2007 - 20:23)
typical of many of the lesser played MB songs that are just as great as the ones that got so much airplay.

(Jun 18, 2007 - 21:13)

If I live to be 1000, I'll never understand what drives people to willingly swallow Brussels sprouts or listen to Neil Young.
