Title: Your Favourite piece of music
Post by: paulham on October 24, 2008, 07:33:30 pm: Can we start a new post where we tell/show your favourite piece of music.
It can be of all time of current favourite or even one you have just found/discovered.
If you can post it played so much the better! Put it on and then open a new tab to look at other posts whilst listening.
Comments about individual's tastes are welcome so long as they aren't insulting.

I'll start, if I may.

This is one of my favourite songs ever and this version with the classical guitar solo at the end gives me goose bumps all over. So beautiful.
Title: Re: Your Favourite piece of music
Post by: oldspice on October 25, 2008, 12:07:00 pm: I love Pink Floyd Paulham, especially Division Bell, Dark Side of the Moon and the whole of The Wall album.

My musical tastes are so diverse I would find it impossible to pick just one piece and say it's my favourite. Therefore, I've chosen a favourite modern blues record by Tom Waits. You have to spend a bit of time getting used to the voice, but give it a try, It's a beautiful but deeply sad track.

Post by: paulham on October 25, 2008, 02:26:25 pm: Wow! That is certainly some voice.
Title: Re: Your Favourite piece of music
Post by: oldspice on October 25, 2008, 02:34:22 pm: Yep. He was quite young when he recorded this. He composed the lyrics and music but it has been covered by others - including Rod Stewart. However, for me this is the most beautiful rendition.

Post by: paulham on October 25, 2008, 05:21:09 pm: Ok. So this post is a slow burner.
Another one I really love is his:

Title: Re: Your Favourite piece of music
Post by: paulham on November 08, 2008, 03:34:45 pm: Good pick Oldspice.
A poignant song.
Title: Re: Your Favourite piece of music
Post by: smurfboy on November 08, 2008, 05:09:41 pm: I adore that song. Apparently it made Carole King (who wrote it) cry when she first heard Dusty sing it.

I'd have loved to have seen Dusty Springfield live - it was so sad she died so young.
Title: Re: Your Favourite piece of music
Post by: oldspice on November 08, 2008, 05:48:59 pm: It makes me cry. Especially as I have reached a stage in life when friends and family are passing on. Not only that, but I find I am far less tolerant than I used to be. Things such as bad manners, ignorant behaviour and fecklessness send me into a rage.

However, let's snap out of it and have something jolly. When i roll behind the curtains, I'm going to surprise everyone by selecting this song to see me into the next world:

Title: Re: Your Favourite piece of music
Post by: oldspice on November 13, 2008, 08:00:41 pm: Yes, like that. Love Waterloo Sunset. One of the great pop songs.

Saw Dionne Warwick live last night. She was FANTASTIC. Quite an achievement to get a big star like her in Peterborough.

Post by: netbuddy on November 24, 2008, 10:40:57 pm: I would post but for some reason that I can not fathom, all the video I try on YT and the embedded stuff here in this thread has no audio at my end!

So instead here are links to some.

Examples of what I listen to now: -

Boards of Canada: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQEmaj9C6ko (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQEmaj9C6ko)

Kruder & Dorfmeister: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAZPPY6Rp0M (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAZPPY6Rp0M)

Examples of what I used to listen to in a former life...

Motorhead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImrtZRrS70w (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImrtZRrS70w)
AC/DC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBXHZNSUtyg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBXHZNSUtyg)

Metallica: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRYDetbwegs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRYDetbwegs)

And when I were a wee lad / teenager I used to listen to allot of radio like 'the John Peel' show and also the JP Sessions he did and also late night with Annie Nightingale when she played some real good indie stuff.

Post by: paulham on November 25, 2008, 06:13:50 pm: Nice ambient stuff above netbuddy.
Title: Re: Your Favourite piece of music
Post by: netbuddy on November 25, 2008, 10:52:42 pm: I also listen to Psychedelic Trance which is not to be confused with that cr*p that is shoveled by the likes of Ministry of Sound or the Ibiza scene, they are just using the name Trance to their advantage.

If you ever watch the film "The Beach" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0163978/ it contains some good examples of just what REAL trance is. Problem is the word has become associated with hand bag, hard house which used to be referred to as Uplifting House.

Believe it or not, Trance has been around for a very very very very long time, whilst studying sound engineering, my assignment was on the history of synthesizers and I was gob smacked to find out that the synthesizer was not invented by Elisha Gray as it is billed in most American web sites but it actually goes to Jean-Baptiste de Laborde a French man in between 1759 & 1761! People always think that Elisha Gray was the first or Bob Moog.

It sort of puts ambient and trance in to the category some of the oldest genres next to classical music.

Post by: paulham on April 03, 2009, 05:15:49 pm: Beach Boys - Lady Linda (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzd4D9ndtok#lq-lq2-hq)

Ken Bruce played this today. I had forgotten it. From my youth and turth be told I didn't know it was the Beach Boys.
I love the mix with the classical piece.
Title: Re: Your Favourite piece of music
Post by: wjp666 on April 03, 2009, 05:35:47 pm: godDAMN i love the beach boys. they are my all time fave group EVER!

i never thought this song really had THE distinctive beach boys sound - but it really works on its own merit. great song.
Title: Re: Your Favourite piece of music
Post by: oldspice on April 03, 2009, 08:11:48 pm: The classical bit is Jesus Joy of Man's Desiring. (Bach) We had it at our wedding.

This version is quite sweet. I'd forgotten all about it. Some Beach Boy tracks are truly great - I especially like God Only Knows.

If you like men in blouses, cop this clip. It's one of many Brotherhood of Man line-ups. I think this is actually the first line up and quite a few more followed. It's a great song - but visually, they are not the most attractive of groups.

BROTHERHOOD OF MAN - United We Stand (1970) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB3RBxnn98g#lq-lq2-hq)
