Listening now - can you tell me where your going?  Can you tell me where you been? Are riding - riding on the wind? 🦅

Also, do you use your usual blankets and pillows when working on the Code ... or do you just "free-roll"?

Past and future you know its all just here & now ... The World keeps on turning & I really don't know how ... :shrug:

I've been trying to dream listen - while sleeping. I don't mean with the music playing - I just shuffle in my head. My results have not been as good as yours. I think that I may stop the shuffle part - its an unneeded complication for me.

Also, on shuffle - I wonder if it could mix up the Code - ya know - maybe Shuke ain't in to some of the weirder shuffles. Who knows tho ...

I'll keep trying.

Also, this song gets better with each listen.

EDIT: Oh, I have posted tons in my dreams about my results. Unfortunately, they have not shown up here yet.

I am listening to some AOR so I have a tangent not entirely related to this thread. 

Genesis really whiffed on the song Land of Confusion. Collins was 35 and a core baby boomer when he sang this in 85:

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep.

Things were not put right.

His boomer contemporary Don Henley observed them much more accurately and summed it up more succinctly the year prior:

Out on the road today
I saw a deadhead sticker on a cadillac
A little voice inside my head said:
"Don't look back, you can never look back"

Although in 77, Jackson Browne saw it coming and was way ahead of the storm 

I'm gonna be a happy idiot
And struggle for the legal tender
Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
To the heart and the soul of the spender
And believe in whatever may lie
In those things that money can buy
Where true love could have been a contender
Are you there?
Say a prayer for the Pretender.
Who started out so young and strong
Only to surrender.

Henley & Browne were WAY worse offenders than Collins was. Both considered themselves prophets and were always singing about their peers who failed (or squares who didn't "get" them). They were (& still are) narcissist American Boomers who will never really get how much they had to do with a million broken dreams.

Phil Collins couldn't even pretend to touch that kind of hubris.

Exactly. Henley and Browne got it.

this post jogged some memories from years ago when I spent some time with a friend of my older brother.  he was big into this album and we spent a weekend listening to it and other stuff from around the same period.  so I went to iTunes on Friday night and ended up downloading 4 Van Morrison albums, Astral Weeks/Blowin' Your Mind/Moondance/St Dominics Preview, and spend all weekend laying around the pool and playing Van Morrison 

My oldest son is 14 yo going into his sophomore year and he plays sax in band.  He's like 'who is this?' and 'can you load this onto my phone?'.  so yesterday, I put 4 albums plus the Best of on his phone and he will in turn play it for his buddies and hopefully the cycle will keep repeating.  what great stuff.  :thumbup:

so my son has a few friends over now.  it was 90 today and they're hanging out in and around the pool.  I hear some music playing so I mute the tv so I can hear.  what is that that they're listening to?  Madame George  I #### you not :lol:

Into The Mystic on now...

 
Can't believe the OP pulled this off and saw it through to the end.   That was a lot of work.  I learned a lot about bands that I don't like and listened to a lot of songs that are not for me.  I also learned that Shuke and I have very different tastes in music since I prefer music that rocks more.

this is so ####### spot on ... i would personally chuck Springsteen up in there, as well. 

 
arguably the greatest song about teh sechs with an inflatable ever recorded

... top 5 at least, amirite?  :D

'79 may have been the greatest year of my lifetime, as far as music released is/was concerned ... and, regretfully, this brilliant power pop masterpiece was inhaled by the Tsunami that was the much inferior "My Sharona" - i mean, c'mon ... the one i linked blows the ####### doors off the Knaack, and it ain't even close, imo - i'll fight yer ###, bring it!  :boxing:

PS- i do not hate "My Sharona", just love this one sosososo muchmuchmuchmuch more.  

 
Hello @shuke!

As you went through your list, it was always my intention to give you some ideas at the end of artists/song that I thought would fit into your style and mix.  I love a lot of stuff that I don't think would fit your taste, so was limiting it only those that I thought could make your #1013-2024.

Now I've skimmed and seen some song suggestions having been given, so I don't want to overwhelm the thread with mine, too.  I'll just throw out a few.

Starting with one of my absolute favorite bands, which I expected might come up on your list:  The Frames.  

Recommended listening for you specifically:  any live version of Fitzcarraldo (at Lollapalooza with horns:  Fitzcarraldo); Revelate (probably my favorite); for some reason the softer Lay Me Down reminds me a little of "See The World" by Gomez, but Irish-y, so I thought you might like it

Bonus tracks of Glen Hansard solo:  When Your Mind's Made Up (####### love this song); Glen w/ Eddie Vedder performing a Bruce Springsteen song
