@Davesnotthere Add this to your "songs for the boudoir" list!
@Indubitably Now this is a find, Thanks. Nipe voice, Reminds me of someone . . .
@Davesnothere Yes, I see the resemblance.
@Indubitably lacking the fine guitar work

Loove Alabama shakes!

Love the Truckers.
@Davesnothere Thanks! What a way to start a Sunday Funday!!!
@carzaa Only recently heard the Truckers on the radio this far north
@Lydiaeli That was funny and well done, thanks
@carzaa @davesnothere got tickets last week to see them live for the first time end of March!! Wooton! Now just need a fun date.
@Davesnothere They are seldom heard on the radio in Chicago but we have WXRT who will play them once in a while. Sweet Annette was a sample song on a computer I bought back in '04' and I've been a fan ever since
@carzaa ok, yea - that's a timeless message! I'm also digging the darker but straight-to-the-point: "There's just two sides calling names
Out of anger out of fear
If you say it wasn't racial
When they shot him in his tracks
Well I guess that means that you ain't black
It means that you ain't black."
David Bowie/ KD Lange/ David Gray/ Elton Jon/ Sarah Machlaclen...Varied mix but many more I can't think of right now.
I also need to add the phenomenon that was/is/might never have been The KLF to my list.
3am Eternal (early 1990s stadium-rave bombast)
The thing I love most about The KLF is, buried deep down in amongst everything they've ever done, is a great big joke - and nobody, least of all The KLF, has any idea what it was.
Lots of Tool fans here, fascinating. But I've got to hand it to TheMiddleWay for genre diversity and eclectic taste in music. Focusing on 'rock' only, my top 5 are:
1 Rush
2 Dream Theater
3 Radiohead
4 Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson / Blackfield
5 Explosions in the Sky
Nofx
Gogol bordello
Sia
Bad brains
Tupac
Fuck, I forgot Queen. And prince is just a given. He is a god.
