Music: Your flavor of the month?

I like this.

 

One of the best slide guitar players and one of the best live bands. If your feet aren't moving in the second song, then go to the hospital, you are almost dead.

 

Excellent

 

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (the best part begins at the 7:48 mark)

Here's one I used to listen to very often when I was in my last year of the Army. I was guarding a prisoner in the hospital. The prisoner was ironically a buddy of mine who became a Conscientious Objector who refused to go to Vietnam. They put him in the stockade where they subjected him to nasty things. He went on a hunger strike and they put him in the hospital where they force fed him. Ironically, I was in a Casual company where we got picked for odd jobs. They even sent me to Montana to pick up a prisoner who had gone AWOL and got picked up at his grandmother's house by the Air Force. Nice kid, I hated bringing him back in handcuffs with a .45 strapped to my waste.

My friend in the hospital had an Akai tape recorder with all these Moody Blues songs. Man, what memories.

Creedance Clearwater Revival - Run Through the Jungle

 

I saw them many times at weekend festivals in San Diego in the early 70s....entrance to the concerts was 99 cents for a weekend pass..Foghat wasn't well known then but played almost every festival....not sure if they are from San Diego but they played there all the time when I lived there along with Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, Lee Michaels, J Geils Band, Sha na na and many others

 

Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way

Foghat is actually a British band and was formed when 3 members left Savoy Brown and added Rod Price on lead guitar. I wonder if maybe they set up camp in southern California during that time. They were a great live band although 2 of my favorite live acts was Ten Years After and ZZ Top who at the time was an opening act for Rare Earth. Felt sorry for Rare Earth as ZZ TOP at the time was relatively unknown but blew Rare Earth away.

 

My favorite old Ten Years After song - I'd Love to Change the World

 

One of the greatest songs ever written

Chicago - I've Been Searching So Long

The best dixieland jazz

The Dirty Dozen Brass Band [with Doctor John] - It's All Over Now (originally a Rolling Stones song) It gets really good at the 2:12 mark

Let's not leave out the classical

Handel's Sarabande in D minor - Performed by Rodion Zamuruev

Perhaps the best classical work of all time. I like it better than Beethoven's Fifth symphony. The fourth and final movement is the best and speaks to the brotherhood of man. The words sung in the fourth movement's choral are from a Schiller poem that I had memorized at one time. The whole symphony gives me goose bumps.

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony conducted by Arturo Toscanini with the NBC Symphony

Edit: The music from the second movement was used for the famous NBC News duo of Huntley and Brinkley, aka The Huntley-Brinkley Report. It was the closing theme music.

I think Beethoven was the best composer of all time.

 

...love Alvin Lee "A Space in Time"...been to 2 seperate ZZ Top concerts, one was one of the worst concerts I've ever been to and the other was one of the very best.

 

ZZ Top became too commercialized for my taste although still liked many of their songs, but the early years, especially the first album was awesome. These are two of my favorites from ZZ Top's First.

 

...Tres Hombres for me.

 

Loved that album. Can't go wrong with any of the first 3 albums.

 

Cheech and Chong - Basketball Jones

If you had to have one of their albums...that's my choice....I have the first one and that one.
