It seems somewhat odd ( I'm not sure odd is the right word ) that you posted a Cream

song today. . . since Ginger Baker also died today. . . . 😞

Peter Edward "Ginger" Baker (19 August 1939 – 6 October 2019) was an English drummer and a co-founder of the rock band Cream.

Two tracks from the UK guys who found water in the desert in the 90s:

Champagne Supernova (my favorite Oasis song)


Live Forever

And three great songs by one of my absolute favorite UK bands ever, The Verve:

This Is Music


Lucky Man


Bitter Sweet Symphony

This is a song that has the ability to make me happy, even I'm feeling a bit low.
It is so upbeat and cheekily positive that it is irresistible to me. :smile:

"I know that my schedule is f**ked up, but baby you know you're the same" means to me that we all should embrace the fact that entropy increases, or something... :smile:

Great guitar work at 1:46, 2:40, 3:47 and the best at 4:13.

I loved and love The Cult, I'm going to post another song of theirs later [thinking... thinking...]...

A live version of "Nirvana", which is the opening track on their album "Love" (1985) and it has nothing to do with the later famous grunge band Nirvana:



I've seen The Cult live once in the 90s, and they were great.

Here are two songs by the criminally underrated UK alternative rock band The House of Love, both from their excellent album Babe Rainbow (1992).

Crush Me

I can actually play a couple of their songs on guitar, and when I was in a band we once played a cover of "She Sells Sanctuary" live, where I played the lead guitar. It's not so difficult, actually, I can still play it. And it's still a darn good riff.

She Sells Sanctuary
And here is a fun clip I found some time ago, where Billy Duffy describes how he came up with the intro to the song. It was a random thing that happened when he joked around trying to imitate Jimmy Paige 😄 .

Synthesizer eargasm... (ambient/electronic).
I heard it today on internet radio, a very nice instrumental track.

Nice electronic music performed with the incredibly cool laser harp. And if you are a fan of Jean-Michel Jarre you might appreciate both the style of music, the beautiful instruments used and the laser harp. :smile:

I recently helped a buddy installing the brake kit and helo rims on his truck project and took it for a spin. Turned on the radio and this music play. I have not heard it in a long time and feels great to listen to it by surprise. One of my most fave back in the school days.

Unrelated, another contemporary song that I thought was pretty good:

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start

I love the way you look at me
I feel the pain you place inside
You lock me up inside your dirty cage
Well I'm alone inside my mind

I'd like to teach you all the rules
I'd get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
But then your secrets never shone

I need to feel you, you need to feel me
I can't control you, you're not the one for me, no

I can't control you, you can't control me
I need to feel you, so why's there even you and me?

I love the way you rake my skin
I feel the hate you place inside
I need to get your voice out of my head
Cause I'm that guy you'll never find

I think you know all of the rules
There's no expressions on your face
I'm hope that some day you will let me go
Release me from my dirty cage

I need to feel you, you need to feel me
I can't control you, you're not the one for me, no

I can't control you, you can't control me
I need to feel you, so why's there even you and me?

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I need to feel you, you need to feel me
I can't control you, you're not the one for me, no

I can't control you, you can't control me
I need to feel you, so why's there even you and me?

You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no
