Kate Bush - The Big Sky...

Oooh, wait, now it's Snow Patrol - Called Out In The Dark...Brilliant... ...

T'Pau - Bridge of Spies...Haven't heard this album since '88...Damned nostalgia... ...

Currently have the Dark Knight Soundtrack going; brilliantly atmospheric stuff.

Fun fact: The rising, scrapin string effect in 'Why So Serious' is not actually played on a violin, as I first suspected, but is instead achieved by running razor wire over a guitar string.

Blondie - Union City Blue...

Level 42 - Heaven In My Hands...

Def Leppard - Hysteria...Oh yes!!...

Kate Bush? Really McB? Holy cow! I started listening to her back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. I LOVE KB. Not many peeps on my side of the pond even know who she is.

I used to explain by way of Pat Benatar. You know Pat Benatar's song Wuthering Heights? Yea Kate Bush did it first. They still didn't know who she was but at least they had an idea of the kind of music she created. lol

Anyway, Great singer! There are very few songs of hers that I couldn't listen to over and over.

McB if I listened to all the songs you have been listening to I'd be stuck in a Time Warp, hmm, how did I get back there??? Nevermind.

You? In a Time Warp? It's astounding!... ...

They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse In Your Soul... ...

And now even the banister is happy....

I didn't know Pat Benetar did Wuthering Heights... ...Blimey...Love Is A Battlefield was pretty much it as far as she went over here...

The Dandy Warhols - Everyday Should Be A Holiday... ...

And I do listen to newer stuff, it's just my dose of Neuralgia Nostalgia tends to happen when I get to this thread... ...If I listed them all I'd be here for hours... ...

She does it almost exactly like KB only in a lower key, not many can sing in KB's range...and of course the music was adapted to suit. I love both versions but I have always been impressed with KB's soprano, sweet.

For a while over here in the early '80's there were rumors that Pat and Kate were the same person...hogwash and I thought it was funny, people can be so .....nevermind.

Anyway, enjoy

Listened to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon for something like the third time in a row today; truly superb album. Now rounding it off with a little Wish You Were Here.

Ah, to be young in the time when they actually performed live...

Ooooh, did Wish You Were Here the other morning...Likes that one I does...

The brother and I saw them live on the Division Bell tour (Greatest Hits night)... ...

Currently listening to my First Pop Crush™ Kim Wilde singing Never Trust A Stranger...*Sighs contentedly*... ...

Oh, and Athynae, Pat Benetar was good, different certainly...But Kate Bush is still topps... ...

Stevie Nicks Rhiannon, I could listen to this one over and over and over

Oh and Colonel seeing them live was a treat beyond compare I assure you....as was Heart.

Seems like now all the musicians have to be model quality 1st and be able to sing second, back in the day a voice made the music and once the band started performing for an audience the fans weren't looking to see if the chick was a size 2 or not. It was just GREAT music....and I don't mean just the notes either, most of the songs had a message too....

Lucky bugger. Dead jealous now...

Train by Younger Brother

I do like Fleetwood Mac...Excellent band...

Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl...*Sighs some more*...

Ok McB, you lost me on that one, I had heard of Tori Amos but I didn't remember any of her music, that one is just a bit out there for me...

Tom Petty Mary Jane's Last Dance.....H*** yes!

Love Tom Petty...So do the kids...I train them well I does...Daddy Youtube-time rules!!... ...

Alanis Morrisette - Thank U...

D'you know, I spent the whole afternoon listing my brushes with fame and the famous, after reading at dinner the bit about having lost you with Tori Amos (Really?..America's answer to Kate Bush?...*Shrug*...)...I was, at the time listening to a band called Ghosts...The World Is Outside the song was...Aaamywho, some of Ghost's videos were directed by a woman called Claire Fowler...And we knew each other way back when...I knew her sister rather more... ...But aaamywho, I had a conversation with that exact thing in it with Claire...And I remembered this while listening to a song by her employers!!... ...Weird!...Which led me to think of all the brushes with fame I've had down the years...And it took me a while... ...One day I may post it all... ...

Static Space by Erica Sunn. BEAUTIFUL. I like her soft voice, an ideal song to just relax. Or sleep.

I guess I was listening to Kate when Tori was a hit, lol. My kids are very particular about the old stuff, the love some of it and hate some of it. Kids, what do they know?

I love Alanis Morrisette!!!! I do I do...

I'd love to hear about your encounters...I could share some with you too, I do live in Country Music USA....

'Receiving incoming transmission from David Bowie's nipple antennae!'

Listening to Flight of Conchords' Bowie, and you really have to applaud a band that can put that line into a song and have it make perfect sense...

Fair dues, that's a talent and a half is it not... ...The kids are fond of the Girl in The Park song... ...Fuunie!!...

Midge Ure - That Certain Smile...

A chum of mine who lives just up the road was - for a good while - Midge Ure's chief guitar tech and roadie/gofer... ...

For those who don't know, Midge Ure was in a band called Ultravox for ages. He also co-wrote and co-produced the biggest selling christmas song in the UK - Band Aid's Do They Know It's Chrismas?...

THIS!, well more specifically the Persona Musical Compilation.

And as for actual music....nope none at all, well their is Kent, but I honestly have no idea what they are saying.
I have been out of the "scene" forever and a half so the music that I listen to was from back in the day

I have to wince when someone born in '91 says he listens to music from "Back in the day"... ...

Level 42 - Heaven In My Hands...Again... ...

Heheh , well since most of my music is from the 80's...

Kent-VinterNoll2.
I still have no idea what they are saying xD

Who cares?!!...Tha's a gorgeous song right there that is...Nice one...

So because of it, I'm now listening to Nephew and Igen og Igen...All your fault...

Oh yeah...Check this one out too...Warning...Just Warning...Nephew - Va Fangool... ...

Diesel Park West - Boy On Top Of The News...

I might have posted it before, but I love this song:

Finished Symphony by Hybrid

There are times when I just want to enjoy something amusing and one of my favorites, sneer if you like, Noel Coward. HILARIOUS STUFF!!!

Listen to "He Went To A Marvelous Party" LMAO!!! or "Don't Let's Be Beastley to the Germans"

Ooooh delightfully fun my dear!!...

Rush - Animate Me...

I'm listening to the sounds of three dogs that can't be let out to play because it is too cold, and one husband that nibbled away a potfull of hambone and beans nearly singlehandedly.


"More beans, Mr. Taggart?"

"I believe you've had enough!" (waves hat)

Travelling Wilburys - Heading For The Light...

Oh no, just changed...The Cure - Trap...

mALX I know what you mean but my culprit for that one is my youngest son, and it takes a lot more than a hat to waft it away....

All good stuff McB, had to revisit The Cure again when you mentioned it, hadn't heard them in a while, I love youtube.

Glad you liked the Noel Coward, he was a piece of work, artist, author, playwright, singer, and more. He did all of them well enough to be at the top of the list in his day as well. Some of his plays are not only humorous but deeply profound as well, it will catch you off guard. LOVE IT!

Mad Dogs and Englishmen.....

Phil Collins - Take Me Home (12" mix)...

Awesome stuff!! Nice to wake up to.

Currently listening to Selected Ambient Works, Volume 2 by Aphex Twin.

Yes, I'm a pretentious arty type at times...

Rizzle Kicks - Mama Do The Hump (Freemasons remix)...

You lost me on that one McB, I do listen to some of the new stuff but I have never had much appreciation for rap, just don't. Maybe I'm just too square to get it....

Janis Joplin Mercedes Benz

Cool...Not heard much Janis Joplin...Small woman, big voice...*Thinks about wife*...Should like her a lot really... ...

Not actually a big rap fan meself, but I heard that Rizzle Kicks song on the radio t'other day and it wormed it's way in...Then I heard the remix of it and was hooked...It just worms it's way in somehow.. ...Plus, I could see meself dancing like a berk to it at a party... ...

Six Hour Sundown - Jekyll & Hyde...Proper rock that is...Proper...

Well I would probably be listening to SOMETHING if I hadn't screwed up my computer somehow so now I have no sound, none.

One stick of dynamite, One CD Rom, BIG EXPLOSION!!

Oh heck... ...

Rizzle Kicks - Mama Do The Hump (Freemasons Boozer Remix)...Again... ...

Love this song...Sooo funny...

Kelly Clarkson - Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)...

HOLY COW!!! How did I miss THAT ONE!!

I think I have a new theme song...I love it McB, thanks.

Reba McEntire- All the Women I Am *WARNING* It's country, sorry folks, I cross all the musical genres...

Cage the Elephant - Aint no Rest for the Wicked

AKA- The Borderlands opening song. Ever since getting borderlands (about one week ago) Ive been listening to this sweet song!

Linkin Park Live in Madrid… er, the video. Mr. Grits and The Girl are blasting it from the den. I’m not even tempted to go in there and say, “Science test tomorrow.”

The den?... ...

Aaamywho...

Elin Lanto - Discotheque...Europop alert!!... ...

I'll tell you who I am NOT listening to...Vernon Davis, who singlehandedly harpooned the theory that all black men can sing.

It's where we keep the bears.


Dark room with TV, sofa, sound system... sitting room? Lounge?

or any other feral animals that seem to be hanging about the abode. Typically it is baited with all of the electronic devices that Papa bears and feral teens can't resist.

Yes, mALX, I saw that, it was just SAD.
