I've been listening to Tull all day yesterday - 'twas sparked by Radou's comment in the other thread and I realized how long it's been since I've listened to any Tull.Astronuc said:And now for something completely different. Jethro Tull had a unique sound. I saw them several times during the mid and late 1970's.
Ghost-of-words
Chi Meson said:I saw a link to the tune "Ojo" (which I like better than VMG), and OUCH, it's some teenager from God-knows-where!
One should NOT be allowed to attempt this in public.
I am only 12 so I haven't got any idea what most of the songs are that you are all mentioning but I wanted to say that the little baby in the picture is soooo sweet. I have this thing about babies. They are so cute.
About the music topic though,if you are talking about songs of today I think that Kate Nash has a sweet voice. I love her song 'Foundations'.

Great scenic performance as well:
As a comparison, here's Florence Foster Jenkins doing her performance:

Both wonderful in their own way!

Only seen one episode, but I like this ‘Flight of the Conchords’ show so far.
An old favourite, The Saints.

When I was 10 I got an AM radio for Christmas and I would fall asleep listening to it every night. Soon after sunset, the big transmitters in Albany and Buffalo would crank up. Albany featured lots of rock and roll, but Buffalo was heavy into Mo-Town, and I loved that sound. Here's one of my favorites. Jackie Wilson's signature song "Lonely Teardrops" was in heavy rotation through the early '60's and beyond. (No video with this one)

Technically, they might have been singing one of the best songs ever, but this still was one of the low points in musical history - David Bowie and Marianne Faithfull. I have no idea what the wardrobe folks were thinking.
She actually sings a lot better songs -
Ballad of Lucy Jordan -
Broken English -
Sister Morphine -
Working Class Hero -

Third movement of the organ symphony, Saint Saëns

Not to everyones taste, but some french drum and bass accompanied by powerful visionary art on youtube. This sort of music has a powerful effect on me, similar to african drumming because of its very fast tempo. The art is amazing too, read the users description about the endogenous psychadelic DMT causing dreams and causing the pictures in the video, very interesting.

Dunno. I think she has the purest voice of all performers, with incredible clean transitions from mezzo to high soprano.
Anyway, an oldy: Roger Whittaker
Our local Belgian star: Helmut Lotti with 'Poljushko Polje'
And Il Divo should be more productive (I believe, with Celine dion):
Todays classic: Finlandia

Soldier of orange
A movie about a Dutch resistance fighter during WW-II. The theme song is composed by Rogier van Otterloo. You can judge his quality. Unfortunately he died young due to cancer.
Give up smoking.
Forget the cognac, the music is the tune of a TV series, "De Fabriek", the mill.

This was S.T. Agnews fav-o-rite song while he was in office. At the end of the video they call it a Gospel tune. (in Bill Clinton voice)...it depends on your definition of "toke" is.
