Now as some of you may know, i have ears. With that in mind, I'm looking to expand my musical horizons. So what i would ike from you all if you have time, is for you to post one or two song titles that you consider to be the "best" in whatever genras you happen to be listening to. For example, if someone asked me about big band jazz, and wanted to know a song to listen to, I'd point them towards Benny goodman's Sing Sing Sing or something along those lines.

The sky is the limit here. my music tastes tend to be very eclectic and eccentric, so even obscure stuff might take my fancy. I tend to like instrumental stuff best. No country, rap, or any combination therin however.

So reccomend away!

anyone?

...

hello? is this thing on <squeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!. oh god my ears! they're bleeding!

Do they have a particularily good song title to look for?

I've been listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers a lot this week. Their album By The Way has a lot of great songs on it.

I just can't seem to get a word in edgewise without getting rated down by someone...but, anyhoo...

Frank Black
ex, well now reunited, singer of the Pixies.

I could never pick one or two favorites. Every song on every album he has put out is ground breaking.

Kao

I don't know why, but I see you enjoying the musical offerings of Cliff Richard immensley, that or Barry Manilow.


When you say odd music do you mean like the band 'Ween' odd?

Or odd like 'Captian Beefheart 'or 'Frank Zappa and the Mother's of Invention' odd.

Tom Waits makes music that some folks find odd, I personally enjoy his music.

You beat me to it, damn you

Guster - The Airport Song

Guster plays some pretty good college rock, I'd take their earlier albums over the later.

Pink Floyd - One of These Days

One of the few Pink Floyd songs that everyone and their grandmother haven't listened to, but is still rather good. Plus, the only lyric is, "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces." which has to count for something. If you're looking for something quirky, I suggest downloading the entire album (Meddle) and listening to Echoes. 23 minute long songs for the win!

Hrm. This is a hard one, heh.

Since you said you like some rock, and some acoustic, try Richard Thompson. If I was to listen to celtic, nothing but the Chieftains will do. Generas I happen to be listening to? Erm...it is really all over the board. I'll just put what I have been listening to in the car lately.

Delta Blues
John Lee Hooker - Whiskey and Wimmen
Muddy Waters - All Night Long, Mannish Boy, Champagne and Reefer, Rollin' Stone...Muddy Waters is just great across the board
Elmore James - Crossroads
Mississippi Fred McDowell - John Henry

Memphis Soul
Booker T & the MG's - Green Onions, Hip-Hug Her
Sam & Dave - Hold on I'm Comin, I Thank You, Soul Man, also great across the board
Johnnie Taylor - Who's Makin Love
Otis Redding - You Don't Miss Your Water, I've Been Loving You Too Long, great for "sheet music"
Rufus Thomas

My list is going to grow too long if I post a few songs in all of the genera's I listen to. I'll just leave it with those because, well, that is where I started, heh.

Currently I've been listening to an MP3 CD I made. It started today on Lacuna Coil. Definately worth a listen if you're into metal at all. For a jazz type, Nina Simone is another artist I would recommend.

If you're in the mood to sit back and relax. I'd reccomend Jack Johnson Brushfire Fairytales
