OT: Watcha Listenin' To? Part VI

[Elvis P]

One of the advantages of being uncool is that it's just more fun. I don't get to benefit from the wisdom of the great PhDed historians such as "Slavery was a choice", but I have fun with music. What is the best century for rap? It's unquestionably the time of the Beastie Boys, Biz Markie, Digital Underground, Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick, Eminem, Ice Cube, LL Cool J, MC Hammer, The Notorious B.I.G., Redman, Run DMC, and Young MC.

My second-favorite song of all time.

Flock of Seagulls was my oldest daughter's first rock song she liked. She was 5 or 6. When pizza friday night came at Pizza Hut, it was Madonna with my two daughters singing in harmony. With 10 other girls in the joint singing along.....

@Surrounded By Ahos The hipster stuff you gorge yourself upon is already halfway to Bluegrass so you may as well get in on this

Peter Gabriel is elite

Peter Gabriel is elite

Seen both the tours linked. He's a level above most live acts.

That entrance from the phone booth with the handset "pulling him back" was wild to see live.

The exit entering a suitcase was fun too..

If you like 70s & 80s New Wave, the albums or songs I recommend are Elvis Costello: My Aim is True, Talking Heads: Remain in Light, The Smiths: How soon is now, Blondie: Parallel Lines, The Police: Synchronicity, XTC: Skylarking, David Bowie: Scary Monsters, Devo: Whip it, The Cars: The Cars, and Crowded House: Crowded House.

i used to hate this song..because i believe it really was overplayed..but it is a classic 80's song

 

[Elvis P]

Heart of Gold is on Hulu. Best classic rock singer/songwriter ever.

(Chris Thile sure seems to be involved with a lot of greatness, I'm noticing.)

Had not listened to this album in years... I am not a Radiohead acolyte by any means... but some absolutely amazing songs. Including this one.

 

[flyersnorth]

This album has my favourite drum sound ever - and it helps that there's a master behind the kit.

This is the only Radiohead album that grabs me. Haven't listened to it in an age though.

"The Bends" is infinitely superior to anything else they have made, but I am just about the only one who believes it.
