The thread where you talk about non-metal music you like.

[The Ozzman]

Eh, I think his crowning achievement was Cream. Nothing against Layla though, pure classic.

Yeah not taking away from Cream at all but that's an obvious choice for a lot of people.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

I know, but it remains his finest hour for me. Layla kicks ass though, as does his solo career in general. Love Blind Faith as well. All around, those old "Clapton is God" graffiti jobs in the UK weren't lying.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Iggy Pop dropped a new single today, calling back to his roots as a player in the Chicago blues scene, but with a nomenclature very much Iggy's own. Good stuff.

And it's now been a year since the almighty Purple One left this Earth, and ascended to the heights of his weeping, alabaster doves. Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to honor that:

That Iggy Pop tune was cool, in his old age he's starting to sound a bit like Johnny Cash too.

He's always had a strong baritone, but it's really starting to fill out tonally as he ages.

Love this Genesis album. I have difficulties with getting into other works of theirs, alas.

 

[Burkhard]

Love this Genesis album. I have difficulties with getting into other works of theirs, alas.

This is my favourite song from "Selling England by the Pound". I like this album, "Trespass" and "Nursery Cryme" nearly the same.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Selling England I think is the album that best showcases the members of the classic line-up's individual strengths. Collins and Hackett are on fire in "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight" and Hackett's lead work on "Firth of Fifth" is just sublime. Some of Tony Bank's finest work is all over the album, especially on the aforementioned "Firth of Fifth" and "The Battle of Epping Forest", while the second half of "The Cinema Show" is so good its worth buying the album just for that. The album also contains some of Gabriel's most clever innovative lyrics, "Epping Forest" and "The Cinema Show" probably being the best examples. Quite funny at times too, ie the various character voices in "Epping Forest".

[Carpe Mortem]

Just discovered this dude the other day, mucho excellente

 

[no country for old wainds]

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

The first two albums have been good forms of calming therapy this past week, these two tracks in particular really do the trick.

 

[EspaDa]

Good fucking tune. You can laugh at Green Day, however, I feel some kind of fondness for their early works.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I need to know more chanson music like this:

 

[Baroque]

 

[CiG]

Great album. He has so many good albums actually.

 

[The Ozzman]

Great album. He has so many good albums actually.

The Stranger is so ridiculously good.

 

[Mort Divine]

@no country for old wainds

I once remember you having mentioned (I'm pretty sure it was during the 'Dreams' mix tape round) that you liked The Cranberries

Apparently (if you didn't know) they went and did an album with 'acoustic' covers of their older songs with some kind of string accompaniment - not bad really

oh nice cheers, i'll check this out
