russdev Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I am one of these people who will listen to any music so want you ideas on what should check out in 2008.. So here goes you get to give one suggestion of an artist/band and song from said artist/band that provides a good introduction to them. Can be any genre of music but you only get one suggestion. Russ
Andrew_C Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 John Martyn - the album London Conversation Old as the hills, but brilliant writing, classy acoustic guitar. There's one track on the album that's a bit weird, but he was starting to experiment with the pharmaceuticals that sent him well off the rails later. Now straight, missing a leg due to smoking, and performing again. Worth seeing if you get the chance. I'd guess he won't be around long.
webman Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 London Elektricity - Different Drum Bit of atmospheric Drum&Bass, from the album Billion Dollar Gravy.
russdev Posted December 31, 2007 Author Posted December 31, 2007 London Elektricity - Different Drum Bit of atmospheric Drum&Bass, from the album Billion Dollar Gravy. That is handy the album is on Emusic.com so when my downloads renew in few days will download it. Russ
webman Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I'm really itching to suggest more artists from more genres, would you know it was me if I registered as webman1, webman2... ?
russdev Posted December 31, 2007 Author Posted December 31, 2007 lol I know but more fun when you have to choose one. Russell
Joedetic Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 If you didn't get it already, the new(ish) David Gilmour album.
Andrew_C Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 If you didn't get it already, the new(ish) David Gilmour album.On An Island? Have you considered an Amazon affiliation? Click throughs from these threads could earn the site some dosh...
Ric_ Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 @Andrew_C: We already have one, just follow the 'Amazon Shop' link on the left hand menu.
Andrew_C Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I've got to click Shop, Amazon Shop, and then search for the item. Elsewhere we, sorry those who know how to do these things, have created an [amazon] tag set to give a click-through. All you need between the tags is the ref number [amazon]B000A2H9B6[/amazon] in the case of London Conversation. It gives an image, and a clickable link. No idea how difficult it is to implement...
tech_guy Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I'm going back in time - back to when I was young (cough) - listening to Barclay James Harvest again :-)
Geoff Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 My musical tastes are... unconventional. As such: Rhapsody - The Bloody Rage of Titans If you want to listen to more, I suggest you sit through the entire Dawn of Victory Album to get a feel for their full range of style.
Joedetic Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Yes, On an Island....that's right.....time for sleeeeep yeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss happy new year
NickHoughton Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Album for me for 2008 is "Saturday Nights + Sunday Mornings" by The Counting Crows. Track 2 is called Hanging Tree. Try that.
reggiep Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 It would have to be Marillion for me with the track "Neverland" off the excellent double album "Marbles".
richard.thomas Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Talk about resurrecting old threads. Goes from "Happy new year!!" to a post from today... Scary stuff I listen to almost every genre of music... so very very hard to pick one! Right now i'm going to say Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell
Inbir316 Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Michael Jackson Ft Will.i.am - the girl is mine 2008 from the album Thriller 25the anniversary record breaking album - classic song remade by the talented will.i.am of the black eyed peas. hes released a few solo singles and i think he, himself has a album due for release. back to the point - this track is a brilliant remade version of the original abit more modern but i reckon the oldies can even enjoy this one
