323. Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance

 

[WDIK2]

330. Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street

Also considered: Right Down the Line

Close to a coin flip here, but had to go with the sax.

Great song.  Foo Fighters have a great cover of this.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

334. Santana - Black Magic Woman

I like much. I love just about everything put out by Carlos, but my favorite somewhat new is this: 

Everlast & Santana - Put Your Lights On

326. Muse - Starlight

Very good!

324. Circles Around The Sun - Farewell Franklins

Who's in the mood for a 25 minute instrumental?

...guitarist Neal Casal formed the band with keyboardist Adam MacDougall (his bandmate in the Chris Robinson Brotherhood), bassist Dan Horne and drummer Mark Levy to record some Grateful Dead-influenced instrumentals to be played during the set breaks at the Dead’s “Fare Thee Well” concerts.

I am starting it now. No promises...

323. Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance

Like these guys.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

I was a KISS Army member during the 70s.

You had to be there...

However - and sorry to say - this is not a song I like much.

Bink was right.

No anger tho - I can cope.

Better?

Better - yes...

Best - no.

Kiss - Alive II (1977) - Calling Dr. Love

Odd - I'm consider'n :Light'n One Up

Triple Dog Dare!!!

TRIPLE Dog?!

322. Big Country - In A Big Country

 

[shuke]

321. The Highwaymen - Highwayman

I realize it's a cover, but it's epic.

 

[shuke]

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

I am always off...

320. The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Anenome

 

[shuke]

I am always off...

Heading down to the KY tomorrow.  Not your way, though.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

322. Big Country - In A Big Country

good song, I think their only song of note really.

I seem to recall the album this song was on - The Crossing, was on the Columbia House "Get 12 Cassettes" until they stopped that promotion about 20 years later.  

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Heading down to the KY tomorrow.  Not your way, though.

Cool..hope you have a good time.

Are you just hitting N. KY or going in deeper? I saw that you mentioned camping earlier. I am a rabid outdoors-dude (when healthy).

My favorite place in KY is Red River Gorge. My most epic story happened there.

So, what's the plans?

319. New Order - Age of Consent

Going to the gorge, actually.  Going with my son's boy scout trip this weekend.  Usually do that once a year and get down a few other times a year.  Doing via ferrata, which is like rock climbing with rebar and cables.

Btw, this is progressing nicely.

I have not gotten to end, but I have saved it to my youtube.

I also found a few live versions that I will listen to afterwards. I prefer live, often.

SWEET!

(Those 3 dogs inspired me - thnx CIA!)

I had a feeling that was it. Nice choice.

However, the link you provided is new to me. That place looks good. Safety is so key there.

Have fun!

Alright. I like it a lot. By the end, it really ramp'd up the energy after a relaxing set-up and jazzy adventure.

This may seem like an odd comparison, but I thought of another song on your list earlier:

790     Deodato - Also Sprach Zarathustra

Both incredible.

I will check out some of the live versions later.

 

[Abrantes]

Great Arctic Monkeys and New Order picks. My favorite AM track by a wide margin, and though I can't say what's my favorite NO song, "Age of Consent" is way up there. One of the best album openers ever too.

 

[krista4]

328. We Were Promised Jetpacks - It's Thunder and It's Lightning

Damn, this is good.  I've seen this band come up here and there and have never focused on them for whatever reason.  I'll have to change that.

 

[krista4]

320. The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Anenome

Yes!  My fiance!

 

[Nipsey]

322. Big Country - In A Big Country

https://clyp.it/dr3lqixw

 

[5-ish Finkle]

329. Uriah Heep - Stealin

\mm/

326. Muse - Starlight

So, so many good Muse songs that picking one over another is an exercise in futility to me.  Have loved them so hard from the moment a friend turned me onto "Newborn" back in the early Aughts. 

323. Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance

ANOTHER band that I enjoy most of their catalog.  Had them in heavy, heavy rotation for a good little while.   I daresay, though, that my favorite from them is a live acoustic version of "The Bakery" that they did in studio on....maybe Radio One?  Absolutely freaking awesome.  Well worth a listen if it's on the YouTubez.  Fluorescent Adolescent is up there for me too.

Who else has off tomarrow>!?!

*raises hand* 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

328. We Were Promised Jetpacks - It's Thunder and It's Lightning

Still one of the best names for a band ever.

 

[rockaction]

Damn, this is good.  I've seen this band come up here and there and have never focused on them for whatever reason.  I'll have to change that.

I just took this exact song (We Were Promised Jetpacks - It's Thunder And It's Lightning) in the last round of Genrepalooza 3!

Has shuke been reading the thread? 

 

[AAABatteries]

My bad @AAABatteries

You're a moron @Dan Lambskin

I'm more offended you thought I was from Detroit.

 

[otb_lifer]

329. Uriah Heep - Stealin

and because i'm a suckah for proto prog/goth told in "Star Wars" fashion - WALA!

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Damn, this is good.  I've seen this band come up here and there and have never focused on them for whatever reason.  I'll have to change that.

They are an excellent live band and are touring the US this summer. Highly recommend.

Thanks for that info. They play a club an hour from me on 7/22. I may go see that show; the first one in a long time for me.

I have off and on, but this has been on my list for a while.  Have you posted it in the past?

I might have in the Friday earworm thread, but that's cool that you posted it here. Love the song, love the lyrics.

334. Santana - Black Magic Woman

Europa is probably my favorite from him/them.

 

[Pipes]

346. Motley Crue - Home Sweet Home

Also considered: Looks That Kill

Been catching up on this thread and appreciate the work you've done.  Found some good music that I otherwise wouldn't ever heard before.  Keep up the good work but with that being said you got this one wrong (I know its what you like).  It's a decent song but Crue is the quintessential hair band who's sole purpose was to pump people up with a kick ### rock songs and you choose this ballad nonsense?  Kick Start my Heart or Shout at the Devil or maybe even Wild Side was the choice here.  I've said my peace keep up the good work.

I've always been partial to Livewire. It's a bit more sloppy than their later stuff, but that captures their essence better IMO.

 

[Gr00vus]

319. New Order - Age of Consent

Glad to see they made the cut. Great tune.

Too Fast For Love is probably my favorite album of theirs. I think it's their best, too. They were a lot sloppier but with better riffs and songwriting back when they were desperate and leather-clad vs. hair metal glam. 

 

[Gr00vus]

I think Sting's solo stuff is better than the Police.  

fight me.

The gloves are coming off Binks, prepare yourself.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

320. The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Anenome

Love this song.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

They were also some of Pete Townsend's backing band on Empty Glass.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Another great name for a group. ^

 

[AAABatteries]

Yep - also like True Faith - probably more than this one

But if any of those songs came on, I'd change the channel or hit skip.

318. Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover

Good one but this one really grows on you.

[Dr. Octopus]

318. Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover

I'm partial to this one. The lyrics are pretty cool:

Slip Slidin' Away

 

[shuke]

317. Drive By Truckers - Sinkhole

These guys are awesome live.
