all I could think of off the top of my head; please mention others if you wish.

TexasToest: I love Dogs
I always thought 'Animals' was a really underrated album....I loved it!

Nirvana:  Oh, I have one better.  I have a friend in California (the one who bought David Gilmour tickets for us for my Christmas present), who WAS in a Pink Floyd tribute band.  He plays so much like Gilmour, I can close my eyes, and forget it's not him.  I have a whole CD of my friend's work, especially Numb, and Dogs.  Oh!  On Dogs, he's brilliant.

TexasToest:

you'll enjoy this then:

Pink Floyd ~ Comfortably Numb

I bought my first Kate Bush tape in 1984.  It was pretty new, been out about a year.  Somehow, I got the idea she was married for a while to Peter Gabriel.   They appeared together a lot, and collaborated on a lot of music back then.  While I didn't find anything about that when I went looking to affirm, or dispute my recollection, I found out a couple of interesting things on Wikipedia.  I didn't know she had an affiliation with David Gilmour.  I quote from Wikipedia, "In March 1987, Bush sang "Running Up That Hill" at The Secret Policeman's Third Ball, with David Gilmour on guitar.....  In January 2002, Bush appeared with David Gilmour singing "Comfortably Numb" at Festival Hall In London, England."  OMG!  "Comfortably Numb" - only my favorite song - well one of them.

MadMonkey:

I would have liked to see that too.

Nirvana: I think he i great and have all his albums and videos. I wish i had gone to see his concert when he was in the UK a few years back and he lit up the whole of London Docklands. Not heard much from him in ages though.

I was asked to find this:

Mandy Moore ~ Only Hope

MadMonkey:

I remember seeing him in France years ago, his concerts are quite something.

Jean Michelle Jarre

MadMonkey:  What a blast from the past!  I haven't heard about him in years!!!  I'll look for it, thanks!!!

Just been listening to a great new album out.
It is by City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra (does Fencer play for them ??? lol) and is called The Syphonic Jean Michel Jarre. It is quite something if you consider the computing power that Jarre uses when creating his music, to be done by an Orchestra.

TexasToest: Running up that hill and Cloudbusting are my favourites...

Sorry!  Can't listen right now, listening to Van the Man.

Kate Bush ~ Wow

Most people know this one I think?
Kate Bush ~ Wuthering Heights

You know, I really love Kate Bush, and I only know about 3 people who even know who she is!  And, what a voice!!!!  

1985, Kate Bush scored her second UK No.1 album with 'Hounds Of Love.'

Kate Bush ~ Running Up that Hill

My son (who is 14 now) is beginning to appreciate Doors. But he made a strange comment a couple of days back - "They'd be really great with a good lead guitarist!" Must confess, I'd never thought about that!!!

awesome:

Yea, must be good there!
The Doors ~ Riders on the Storm

瀬人様:

Linkin Park & Yu-gi-oh

Yu-gi-oh ~ Riders on the Storm

thanks Nirvana,so many greats have left us so early in their lives here on earth...there must be some great music being played in heaven...

That was a remembrance worth watching.  Good quality, and flawless.  

Nirvana: Thanks for posting that Nirvana. He was truly one of the great song writers and is missed!

1973, On his way to perform his second concert of the day, singer, songwriter Jim Croce was killed with five others when his chartered aircraft hit a tree on take off in Louisiana.

Jim Croce ~ Don't mess around with Jim

and on Wikipedia:
Jim Croce

A few weeks back Eddie Van Halen appeared on the Howard Stern Show and said he didn't rule out a reunion with David Lee Roth. I think we'd all like to see that, but if the guys are going to do it, it better be soon because I'm not sure how many people are going to care. Now before someone starts saying "I love them" or "it would be huge" let me say that I too would love to see a Classic VH reunion, but I think that time is not on this band's side at the moment. Its news to the die hard fans, but maybe not to the rest of the world The fact is, when Eddie made these comments it wasn't big news that hit all the papers. We've been teased with a Roth-VH reunion for years and everytime nothing comes of it. Anyway, I'll be watching to see what

Actually, I found the whole album on MusicMatch, and played it.  It was alright, I guess I'm too old to appreciate the album, but at least it didn't disturb me while I was playing my games.  About the song, I did find the lyrics fetching.  I will listen to the album again, and see if I can discover a thread.  Thanks, furbster, for the heads up.  And, thank you, Nirvana for the link.

furbster:
this one?
Snow Patrol ~ Chasing Cars

Yep!

furbster:  Hmmmm, I haven't heard it, furbster.  Guess I need to go on a search.

the new Snow Patrol song, Chasing cars, it's like the best song thats been out for ages lol.

Lovely, MadAprilHare.  And, thank you for the rose.  I just never caught her.  But, she has a beautiful voice, and the song is well worth a listen.

Maybe since I live in Texas - about as south as you can get, and the Snowshoe Hares live in Northern U.S. and Canada, I wasn't familiar with the animal either.  This is why we have the Internet - free exchange of wonderful music, culture, and critters. 

TexasToest:

My Lady ~ ~ I am Mad by nature, April by birth, and Snowshoe Hare!

Curved Air/Melinda

I admit to having a particular liking for the beautiful Sonja Kristina from this band, in my younger days I'd have followed that lady anywhere!

Dylan and Baez:  Lovely, took me back a generation or two.  I wonder when that was made?  Anyone know?  That is one question, but it can be interchanged with, how do those people look so YOUNG?  Hahaha!  Thanks, Nirvana for that.

Angel:  I was around in the 70s, but evidently Angel didn't make it into my consciousness.  Interesting band, true.  Were they around for a while?  I got married in 1970, maybe I was busy.  Haha!  I got unmarried in '83, at which time I became busier.  Too bad about the end of the clip.  I wonder why people do that?  Is there a time limit on UTube?

Rare Earth:  They DID get through to me, I loved that song.  It's rare, in my experience anyway, for the drummer to sing.  At least the person who submitted the clip had the courtesy to fade it out rather than just cutting it off in mid-stream.

Jefferson Airplane:  White Rabbit:  my favorite song from one of my favorite bands of all time.   But then, Alice in Wonderland is also one of my favorite stories.  You know, I think most children of the 60s have "been there"...to Wonderland.  I still have visuals of the first live performance of that story I ever saw.  What a grand set, and the costumes were rich with color and texture.  I guess that makes the song come even more alive for me.

Jethro Tull:  What can be said?  Ian Anderson has certainly stayed in the forefront.  He does better on the U.K. charts of late than on the U.S. charts.  I love Aqualung, and Thick as a Brick.  I also commend him/them for their international interests.  They've sounded almost celtic at times in their history.  Did you know he has had two #1 hits on the U.S. Charts?  First was Thick as a Brick, and the other was A Passion Play. 

Curved Air/BackStreetLuv:  Welcome, Mad March Hair - white rabbit as you portray yourself.  I believe I've heard of Curved Air, but it's been a while.  Interesting little file on Wikipedia.  If the tune branches out from there, I'd probably like it.  But, the pace at the beginning might get tedious over the time of a whole song.  Can you help me out here?

The Deep End with Nick Michaels is a program that not only gives voice to these great songs but also give context to them through the use of sound and narration. This program feels like it is taking you back to that time. Audiences respond to it the way you respond to running into that dear old friend. After a few minutes with that friend, it is as if no time has passed between you. The warmth of that feeling is what this show is all about.Now playing as you play your games on q107.com,just log on to it first,then,click on brainking.com

A two-hour trip to a time when music mattered
There is no argument that the music of the late ‘60’s and early 70’s, what is most commonly called Classic Rock, is the most important music ever made to its listeners.


Most of these baby boomers have had a life-long love affair with their music and it does not look like it is going to die down soon.


Back before CD’s and digital music most of those albums were listened to on stereo record players.


All of those great albums contained an average of 10 to 12 songs per album. If you are old enough to remember then you will know that most people did not constantly lift and drop the needle onto their favorite album cuts. Every time you dropped the needle, you ran the risk of damaging the disk. Therefore most people put the needle down on an album side and let it play all the way through, thus becoming familiar with all the songs on the album. Most classic rock stations today will play only one or two songs from those albums leaving the majority of music on them un-played and unheard by the audience.


When you hear these songs again it is like running into a dear old friend you haven’t seen for 20 years. It is a treat. The reaction is almost always the same, a big smile.


The Deep End with Nick Michaels is a program that not only gives voice to these great songs but also give context to them through the use of sound and narration. This program feels like it is taking you back to that time. Audiences respond to it the way you respond to running into that dear old friend. After a few minutes with that friend, it is as if no time has passed between you. The warmth of that feeling is what this show is all about.


Don’t think of it as a album of photographic memories, its not, this show is a time machine that actually takes you back to the feeling of the times. This is done through the use of the future tense for past events. It sounds as if we are back in time about to live it all again!

Bob Dylan & Joan Baez ~ Blowing in the Wind


sent to me by someone in Pocket Monkey.

I'm listening to Don Henley The Heart of the Matter.  Last night, it was Larry McMurtry.  Uh huh - Texan till I die.

baddessi:  Of course it is 2 that is missing.  Pardon me, but it was late when I typed that.  Can I claim mental anguish?  I have quite a few favorites off those collection, but since I haven't had a tape player since I sold my Volvo, I'd just have to pick one or two.  Off #1, I really like Tweeter and the Monkey Man, as well as Congratulations.  Blame my long standing love affair with the thought of hanging out with Bob Dylan daily for a lifetime.  Oh, and End of the Line.  Off #2, I'd have to choose 7 Deadly Sins, and Wilbury Twist.  AND, all of Roy Orbison's are, of course, hymns to this Texas girl.
