I love it! It reminds me of my childhood and it's introducing me to songs I've never heard before and won't likely come across if you (or any other player for that matter) wouldn't post them here.

Bear McCreary ...I would have loved to have heard this in person, but t least we get a recording, kinda compressed and not great fidelity, but better than nothing.

 

[BRO0088 1,724]

Damn Cover

 

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Dirty Loops...a whole nother level.  Fabulous production and galaxy class muscianship

I've never heard anything from them that isn't nuclear.

 

If the first part of this doesn't "Hit You", check the bridge at about 1:55

Interesting lyrics...trippy guitar solo at about 2:55....I don't think I've ever heard anything like it done on guitar before...keyboards yes

Epica does a great job with this! I usually hate classical adaptations but this is pretty badass.  I have listened to some more of their stuff after hearing this piece.  Thank you for this new discovery (for me).  Just for comparison sake here is the Berlin Philharmonic doing the piece closer to it's original form...it kicks at about 1:35

Majek Fashek - So Long (From the CD Spirit of Love)

This is a brilliant CD...all the tracks are great. It was kind of this guys one shot, but it is just so well done. If you ever see it, try to pick it up. There is almost nothing on YouTube and what is there is poor fidelity or from lesser albums and will probably disappear. Back in the early 90s "So Long" had a little airplay in the USA, but not too much. Sombody ripped this from MTV and it gives you an idea of the music, but the CD is terrific studio work and great fidelity...a realitivelly unknown masterpiece.

After listening a couple of times, I really like Rusted From the Rain. It's a great slow build with a very tasty guitar solo phrase at about 2:28 to 3:00 where it culminates into a monster rocknroll spike. Good stuff.

 

The second one, Sympathy, hasn't gotten any traction yet...maybe too much punk influence for my tastes...a couple more listens might bring some click.

I really like these songs you posted. Time After Time is haunting and, I believe, timeless.

 

Someone posted Cat's in the Cradle wrong...kind of a big mistake. It is Harry Chapin singing and composer too, not Cat Stevens. Cat Stevens is wonderful too, but didn't do this song. Chapin died very young but created some incredible story-song type music. Cat's In the Cradle was probably his only mainstream "hit". His best album is Sniper and Other Love Songs. His stuff is rather obscure at this point in time, but truly worth a long hard listen if you ever get a chance...a really unique poet/songsmith.

 

American Pie was the only song from the D. McClean catalog that ever really did it for me...maybe I never listened close enough or long enough

 

Prince and Purple Rain....even though Prince has superstar status, I think he is still underrated. He may be a genius. Brilliant guitarist, consummate showman, daring producer, fine arranger/composer...and he has done so much or so many artists...the guy is literally awesome.

 

Alice Cooper was and is kinda hard to get by the glam stage act, but the tunes are solid. School's Out was and remains a good fun song.

 

The Journey and Rush leave me with an appreciation of talent...especially Rush (great musicians), but neither band ever made me love them. OK to listen to, but I don't think I ever owned one of their many albums.

 

Now I gotta quit fooling around on this thread and go listen to some Prince and Harry Chapin...thanks, now I got earworms.

OMG...I found Sniper on YouTube! This song is a story...a story with perspective. The perspective is a mass murdering sniper.

 

To get this song you need to listen to the lyrics (easy to hear and understand) and the entire song...from beginning to end. It's 10 minutes...if you don't have the time, don't even start it, because excerpts will not work and won't make musical or narrative sense. Ideally you would bust out the headphones, close Tanki, and give ten minutes to the memory of a great musician/poet. This is kind of like a sung movie and demands the attention you would give a movie if you went to the theater.

 

Am I?

I am a lover who's never been kissed.

Am I?

I am a fighter that's not made a fist.

Am I?

If I'm alive then there's so much I've missed,

How do i know I exist?

Sorry about the multiple posts....I did them all at different times.  I also hope I'm not hogging up the thread, but I love music and really enjoy listening to things I've never heard before, or haven't heard in a long time.  I also really enjoy sharing some of the jewels (IMHO) I have found during my long association with tunes.
