Lunk, " For what its worth " is the title of the song and its just "sister golden hair" I am amazed at some of your choices, for your age.


I like all music.Even if its not to my liking, I respect the persona view who created it and will endure sitting through it.Music is more than what you hear.Its a transfer of ones expression, creativity, or message through the use of a song.Art for the ears, if you will.

Another cool thread-

Bands

The Pogues, Rush, Marley, Tosh, Zepplin, Metallica, The Dead, Van Morrison, Stevie Nicks (gorgeous! back in the day), smashin Pumpkins and, believe it or not- Cindy Lauper. She's got an incredible voice and is a lot more talented than her bubblegum rock garbage.

Songs

Anything from the above. Plus "It's a Wonderful World", especially when pulling into a calm cove in late spring at daybreak.

[WTL]

This comes up every year or so.

Smashing Pumpkins, The White Stripes, Nirvana, Rolling Stones, Dylan, Hendrix, The Who, Sonic Youth, Pearl Jam...I could go on for pages

[lunker-lander]

I forgot to add Modest Mouse, too. They really kick it! Go Indie Rock, lol....

[bamabassman]

well ok....favorite bands, journey,bto (bachman turner overdrive ) ,temptations,ccr (credence clearwater revival), the stones, the doors, queen, van halen, silver bullet band, oh lord i can't name them all, hahaha. i like the old rockers, very few new bands. although i do like creed. and lunker, i too am pleasently surprised in your choices. good to see a young man enjoy the oldies. favorite songs are wheel in the sky-journey, inagodda vida, can't remember the band. and here we go again....hahaha can't name all of them. hey i really love ol marty robbins and his cowboy songs. the name of the album is marty robbins, gunfighter ballads and something. go check it out. great songs.

[Cranebird]

I like Records as apposed to CD'S , or what have you.They sound better in my opinion.I have somewhere near 4500 records, 1200 cd's.I guess you can say , I like music alot ?

I just sold 14 guitars, and 4 amps.That really made me feel like I have lost a close member of the family.Its odd to see my half stack gone. P N J

[carolina-rig-01]

L.L. that reminds me. has anyone seen the video to the song shift work? if so did you notice that they are in a triton boat factory?

[bamabassman]

hey cranebird, you are right albums or "vinyl" does sound better. the bass is more in lp's. even i can hear it with one deaf ear. i don't have an lp player anymore. but got 2 boxes of records, 33's and 45's. i might sell them on ebay. did ya'll hear about the guy who sold his collection for 3 million dollars? he had 3 million lp's and sold them on ebay for 1 buck each. i got some real good ones too. got a old beatles double album with interviews. don't ask the name. it is in storage right now.

I like the 'mechanics' in the beginning....

-Lunk-

[bamabassman]

yes crankybait they do sing that one. and many other big hits. don't forget PINK FLOYD!!! brick wall album, make you stoned just by listenig to it without anything. just put on headphones and listen to it in a dark room.... straight tripping mannnnn, lol.

[WTL]

The Wall is classic.

A few new bands to check out:

Someone mentioned Modest Mouse, they are very good.

Listen to The Arcade Fire. Great, great band and completly different from anything.

The Shins are very good.

I mentioned the White Stripes. If you like Dylan or Cash or country rock or blues or anything like that, give them a spin.

Artic Monkeys are very easy garage rock, not earth shattering but fun.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs are a fantastic band. Karen O sounds like the singer from the Pretenders, but the music - the guitar riffs are great.

A lot of people missed Neutral Milk Hotel. They are now gone I think, but late 90s they released an album called Aeroplane over the Sea which was terrific.

The Decemberists keep writing songs about whales and pirates and stuff, but for sounding like 19th century whale pub holdovers they still manage to bring something that most bands today lack. Very good at their craft.

Modest Mouse's song "Dashboard" reminded me of the Decemberists' art...

zooker

[Cranebird]

Zooker, I am surprised you like Rancid ? Tim Armstrong came from Operation Ivy although I like Rancid better. If you like heavy have you listed to Killswitch engage ? I have a Murder dolls cd, one of the slip knot characters formed the band to do a side project album but in my opinon it sucked. Hatebreed and soulfly, pennywise, Spike 1000 are some of my favorite heavy music to listen to.I absolutely drove the wife crazy with Insane clown posse until she threw the cd's in the garbage on me.

[Whup]

Hey Bama,Inyagodda da vida is by a band named Iron Butterfly.I love all the classic rock and some new as well.I also love the Blues.

[Cranebird]

Which was supposed to have been the lyrics "In the garden of Eden " and your right it was Iron Butterfly and the album name was "Ball".

[Whup]

and it must be the longest drum solo in history

[Cranebird]

Youd have to ask Denny about that. Golden Earring radar loves song on thier Something heavy going down album has an ungodly long drum solo, The outlaws green grass and high tides song on thier bring it back alive album is 20 minutes long, or one whole side of a double album set. I think Arlo Guthries Alices restaurant might be the longest song ever ?It seems it anyway.

[JB]

ya'all anit heard nuthing fast on drums till you heard denny playin

[lunker-lander]

I think Crane posted "Radar Love". Another classic song...
