[Stevedye56]

Pachelbel's Canon

This is simply amazing

Down by Blink182 is my favortie song ever.

 

[meteor]

Great song by a one-hit wonder, B-Movie. The video per se is truly characteristic of a B-movie, rather Frankenstein-esque.

B-Movie - Nowhere girl

[TrineX]

The band doesn't have the video but it is still a good song nonetheless.

The Kovenant-- Mirrors Paradise

 

[Gelsamel Epsilon]

I can't believe I'm missed posting Nightwish this whole time!

If you don't like my videos because they're metal and you don't like metal but you had to watch one of them then watch this one.Tarja is probably one of the most beautifull women in the world with one of the most beutifull voices ever, you have to listen to this!

[nazzard]

Another brilliant melody:

THE BROTHERS FOUR - Greenfields

[Astronuc]

Ritchie Blackmore - Blackmore's night

http://www.blackmoresnight.com/

http://www.blackmoresnight.com/audio_clips.html

Somewhat different from Deep Purple.

I miss those days.

 

[Cyrus]

Right now I am listening to:

8:33 pm Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus: Piano Concerto #23
Mitsuko Uchida (piano) ** English Chamber Orchestra ** Jeffrey Tate (conductor)

On the radio. Lovely.

 

[Gelsamel Epsilon]

Cover of Metallica's One by Apocalyptica (Band with 4 cellos in it only!)

It's so beautiful and awesome!

 

[Gelsamel Epsilon]

Also

Apocalyptica going Hall of the Mountain King! :D

 

[JamesU]

La Villa Strangiato-Rush
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-995275192475028323&q=la+villa+strangiato

I'd like that on DVD. That must have been quite a performance. Actually I'd like to be playing the bass and/or guitar.

John Barleycorn must die

Low spark of high heeled boys

My three favorite Rollingstones songs Paint It black, Lady Jane and have you seen your mother baby, standing in the shadows.

 

[Dr.Brain]

These are some of the songs I 've been listening over and over , n yet not bored , I don't know if they r best songs ever but certainly for me:

Tracy Chapman - Fast Car ( AMazin song)
LinkIN Park - My December (One of the very less famous songs of this commercial band , this song is certainly one of the the most mesmerising for me..)
Wonderwall-Oasis ( this song led to Oasis Vs Beatles comparison ...amazin song//)
Fake Plastic trees - Radiohead ( love the voice)
One Step Behind - LEDZeP

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Going waaaaaaay back, here is one that came up over the weekend. Tsu and I both still love this song - Feed the Birds. [the video itself is completely unrelated, but nothing else came up.]

 

[turbo]

John Barleycorn must die

Low spark of high heeled boys

My three favorite Rollingstones songs Paint It black, Lady Jane and have you seen your mother baby, standing in the shadows.

Finally, someone who appreciates Traffic/Winwood. I like his earlier stuff with the Spencer Davis Group and even the (a bit spotty) Blind Faith material.

Thanks for those. They bring back memories.

Traffic (Live) - Glad


Also - Traffic - Dear Mr. Fantasy LIVE


Steve Winwood - Can't Find My Way Home (Live)


Decent rendition of Can't Find My Way Home


My favorite Stone's tunes are:
Gimme Shelter
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Monkey Man (great piano)

My favorite tune by Robin Trower
Bridge of Sighs

B&W video of live performance, not best quality audio, but it has James Dewar singing. Dewar had an incredible voice and Trower doesn't sound right without his vocals.

My other favorite song by Trower is About to Begin

If you stand in the light, you get the feel of the ride
And the music that plays in your ears
In your head you can hear, a voice so sweet and clear
And the music that plays in your head.
As it flows up from the ground
Taking all who hear that sound
Close your eyes, its about to begin

Hardly daring to breath, a new life you perceive
You try hard not to break the spell
While at once it seems both, so far and yet so close
If you reach out to touch, it will be gone.
As it flows up from the ground
Taking all who hear that sound
Close your eyes, its about to begin (4x)

Then there is Jeff Beck
Cause We've Ended As Lovers from the album Blow by Blow - mournful but beautiful
- Live at Karuizawa, Japan


And let's not forget the Yardbirds -

Over Under Sideways Down - B&W video live


Heart Full of Soul (Live)


Heart Full Of Soul (Video (very 60's :rofl: ) with Studio track)


Shapes of Things (Live, B&W video)


(B&W Video with Studio track)


Well you had to have been there - in the 60's.

 

[Gokul43201]

Speaking of Soul, Astro, James Brown died today. (probably belongs in a different thread)

 

[Astronuc]

Speaking of Soul, Astro, James Brown died today. (probably belongs in a different thread)

Yeah - you'll have to start a James Brown thread -

Anyway for a taste of JB - James Brown - I Feel Good (very 60's audience ) -

 

[Astronuc]

Since this has turned out to be a music thread.

- really interesting guitar playing.

Which reminded me of Michael Hedges - Aerial Boundaries

 

[Astronuc]

Something back from my past -

Quicksilver Messenger Service - What About Me (FULL)


Fresh Air


Oooo-ooo-oooooh, Have another hit . . . .


From the same period -
Gimme Shelter


or a live version 28 years later
The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter Live 1997



Rolling Stones (live in Tokyo) Monkey Man
- pretty decent version

 

[Kurdt]

Jimi does "Hey Babe" off is album "New Rising Sun". I was disappointed the camera man didn't get Hendrix's fingers on this one. :grumpy:

I don't know whther this guys been posted before, but he does great instrumental versions of Hendrix songs and he's a Diva. Plus you can see what he's doing on the fret board and he has an almost perfect Hendrix style.

carphius is good!

Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)
-

Now if he good only do the vocals.

 

[Kurdt]

I know its a bit weird without lyrics and backing but it kind of works somehow. Testament to the depth of Hendrix's songs.

I was lucky enough to see Jimi Hendrix perform live at the Houston Colosseum.

 

[Evo]

This is a favorite Traffic song but couldn't find it online except here. MSN used to let you listen to songs, but now they use this site. The first 25 songs each month are free.

One of my favorite groups back in 1970, Spirit.

First is "When I touch you" http://play.rhapsody.com/spirit/twelvedreamsofdrsardonicus/whenitouchyou?pcode=rpshare_em&cpath=rpshare_em&from=sh_em&sh_em_tp=track

Second is "Life has just begun" http://www.rhapsody.com/player?type=track&id=tra.2677669&remote=false&page=&pageregion=&guid=&from=

 

[Evo]

This is a hometown band. My friend was married to the drummer.

I LOVE THIS SONG.

From 1966 - The 13th Floor Elevators - Splash 1 (I'm Home)

The Kinks - Lola This is the real version, there are more recent , "different" versions.

 

[Kurdt]

I was lucky enough to see Jimi Hendrix perform live at the Houston Colosseum.

Aww damn you oldies wish I was there.

 

[gravenewworld]

"Mad World"- Gary Jules (remake)

"I'm bad" -Michael Jackson. Laugh all you want, MJ has sold almost a billion albums worldwide and OWNS the beatles.


"ace of spades" - Motorhead. Classic anthem for all the metal heads.


"What's Golden" -Jurassic 5. Best hip-hop group of all time


"We didn't start the fire"- Billie Joel. I'm always impressed whenever I hear this song. A ton of research must have been put into this song.
