Leonard Cohen's first album

[Old and In the Way]

I remember music appreciation in HS and disecting "Suzanne"...that was in '68.

I first head it in 68 myself, but It was a very integral part of that particular summer for me.

15. NO! Everyone...but Retiree's and all! But Yes this belongs in Lounge and

I posted wrong and didn't get back in time to move. Imagine a Mod will move it..but I want to enjoy it before they do! :D

[NV Whino]

9. Well, wrong forum, but who cares

I was gonna say Judy Garland, but then I saw Simon and Garfunkel. It's a toss up. And after S&G there's S only.

[GOPNotForMe]

10. Joni Mitchell - "Blue"

Listening to it at work now, actually.

[faithnotgreed]

23. oh i forgot to list that one.... i love that album but i couldnt

listen to it at work! it brings too many memories (being in france), and would distract me far too much

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. Steve Earle's Revolution.

:7 Just kidding!

I really like the soundtrack from Notting Hill. The music is awesome. Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra and Delbert McClinton do the job too. :hi:

I'm really a rock and roll gal though. Janis Joplin, Queen, U2, Aerosmith, ect...:loveya:

[KoKo]

16. I loved that movie but never bought the soundtrack! Thanks for reminder..

it did have great music...don't know why I didn't buy the CD..

Thanks!

[spooked]

38. Boz Scaggs

Silk Degrees

Carly Simon's No Secrets

[incapsulated]

12. "Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me...."

After the Gold Rush and Harvest.

A little bit before my time, but I listened to Neil a lot in my early teens, and it puts me in a romantic, nostalgic mood.

:hi:

[requiem99]

14. My picks:

Moonsorrow - Voimasta ja Kunniasta

Or perhaps Falkenbach - Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty

or even maybe Tyr - Eric the Red

All great 'deep thought' albums.

[KoKo]

17. Could you share what they are...thanks.".clueless in NC" here....

but they sound interesting!

[requiem99]

19. Viking/folk music, more detailed explanation inside:

All 3 bands I mentioned are rooted in the european rock/metal mode, themed with a norse lyrical slant, and in the case of Falkenbach and Moonsorrow they sing in their native tongue (probably Swedish, but I don't speak any of those so I don't know for sure) and Tyr sings in Faroese. (as they are from the Faroe Islands)

Moonsorrow has big epic riffs with folk instruments like accordian, lute, panpipes, and some specialized nordic folk instruments.

Falkenbach does a lot of panpipes with choir chanting, acoustic guitar, and folk passages. Very, very immersive music. Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty is an album almost ANYONE can enjoy, whereas Moonsorrow can be very intimidating if you've never heard anything like this before.

Tyr does bombastic and powerful viking metal in a war and battle sort of way, with folk songs and tales of glory and ancient lands. Stirring, moving, and always inspiring, without ever being overdone or annoying. VERY powerful band. Eric the Red is one of a kind.

I'm really into the european metal scene, because they've got music coming out of there that surpasses the best popular culture stuff released anywhere else in the world, ever. And I mean that. After I discovered this stuff it was like a whole new world opened up, and the American scene is so dead for it because the labels keep consolidating their power to fewer and fewer bands as they try to blame piracy for their declining sales.

This genre is the future of rock right here, and Americans are finally catching on. I've introduced dozens of people in the past year, and I've yet to meet a single person who doesn't find at least a few bands they go absolutely crazy over.

Email me if you want to know more, I've been into this scene for a few years as a critic and commentator. This, along with politics, is my passion.

20. Thanks.........sounds really different and "cutting edge." Can I find

this at a store where I can hear a snip?

[requiem99]

21. No, very little of this entire genre is ever found in the USA.

If you want you can email me and we can talk about it.

[Booster]

22. Not a CD, but I just got a DVD off eBay of

John Denver: A Portrait. What a beautiful man, what beautiful lyrics. I was lucky enough to work on his tv show in L.A. and he was just a really great guy - one of the only times I've actually cried when a celebrity died. I loved him.

[faithnotgreed]

24. thats very sweet....

[KoKo]

28. He had alot of really good songs. Environmental..or just Joy for Eath

It's amazing..don't hear his music played anymore. Thanks for that. Need to check and see if someone has put together CD of "Greatist Hits."

I'm sure they have, but in these days "out of mediat target audience...out of sight."

[coreystone]

I have two......

Joni Mitchell - "Court and Spark" and James Taylor - "Gorilla"

I was living in an apartment in Schwetzingen, Germany (about 14 kms outside of Heidelberg). I was in the Army (AARGG!!). They gave me rations and quarters (money) to live on the "economy", because I complained so much about the crowded barracks (it was the US Army HQ's in Europe, and we were very spoiled).

I just about wore those two albums down to the bone. I still have them about ten feet away me; though I did upgrade to the CD versions. It was fun. I would go out some Saturday afternoon, pick up a nice bottle of good German white wine, some Camembert cheese, go back to my apartment, sit back and relax to Joni and JT.

[OneBlueSky]

29. "Love, Peace and Happiness" . . . the Chambers Brothers . . .

not actually my #1 choice, but I was thinking about it today . . . :)

[rndmprsn]

31. Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

did for me in the late 80's what "meet the beatles" did for folks in the 60's...put a guitar in my hand and transformed me from being a music fan to an active participant...now i do it with a computer =]

[aquaman]

37. Great choice......

Think I will put it on now!!

[TroubleMan]

32. Al Green's Greatest Hits

[grannylib]

35. Fleetwood Mac "Mystery to Me" and Vollenweider's "Down to the Moon"

[arwalden]

36. Carol King - Tapestry

[flamingyouth]

39. "Drop Out With the Barracudas" by the Barracudas

Takes me back to high school, not that I really want to relive high school, but it's a great album.

[Philostopher]

40. Todd Rundgren's 'A Wizard - A True Star!'

If I'm really down. The Replacements' 'Let It Be' if I want to shout and dance around the room. The 'Mats album is more my gen, but I dearly love the Todd album. Just One Victory is almost worth a post by itself in here, but not yet. Give it a couple of weeks.

[Insider]

41. The Stylistics: Round 2

OMG. second album. three billboard r&b top tens, but every single one was a hit on black radio in the 70s. close your eyes and you can almost hear them playing while you stroll down the supermarket aisles.

1. I'm Stone In Love With You best of the best

2. If You Don't Watch Out

3. You and Me

4. It's Too Late

5. Children of the Night best of the best

6. You'll Never Get to Heaven (If You Break My Heart)

7. Break up to Make Up best of the best

9. You're as Right as Rain

10. Pieces

[norml]

42. Nostalgia CD? If you're talking nostalga,you're talking vinal.

And while almost every one of my 500 plus vinal albums have nostalgia value,i guess to tune it all out,think romantically,and drift,I'd have to put on Leonard Cohen,Songs of Love and Hate. In fact I just put it on. Do not dress in those rags for me when I know that you are not poor.
