Easy: THE EAGLES

[rachel]

you like the Eagles M'Lord? How amazing. When I taught dance for some reason we always ended up doing some of their songs no matter how seemingly outdate they were and everyone LOVED them.So much feeling. what is your favorite that they have done?

I LOVE THE RAMONES

[RobinHood3000]

Personally, I like Hotel California, Sad Café, and Life in the Fast Lane. They have so many good ones, though, that it's hard to choose.

[Riesa]

Oh, I was just thinking about The Cramps earlier today. Spooky, I haven't thought about them in years. I saw them in San Diego, about a million years ago. What a fun bunch of loonies they are.

[rachel]

Hey Kilted,
please please can I come over, I'll bring my own food and drink, well of course lots for you too. You have so many that I love. you actually have something by Sid Vicious and the sex pistols, for real?
I read the diary that his girlfriend wrote, before she was allegedly murdered by him.
it was really sad. what Great Big Sea and Johnny Cash(I misshim) and Gordon Lightfoot do you have? I am so happy for him that he was inducted into the hall of fame. awesome music.
I laugh when I hear "a boy named Sue." wasn't that after his prison stint?

[Pensive]

Linkin Park - Beetles - Eagles - Evenescence - West Life.

[higley]

Queen
Tagine
Dean Martin
~rest of Rat Pack as well
Boston
The McCoys

[IrishCanadian]

This question is way to hard. I consider myself a music geek so there no way i could pick one. That would be like ... i don't even know what that would be like.

[beer good]

Oh, this is hard. Let's see.

The big three:
Bob Dylan
Neil Young
Lou Reed (solo and with the Velvet Underground).

Then a bunch of others. Patti Smith, Nick Cave, Björk, Tom Waits, PJ Harvey, Kate Bush, Sonic Youth, Steve Earle, Yo La Tengo, AC/DC, The Cowboy Junkies, John Coltrane, Cat Power, The Stooges, Gillian Welch, The Cramps (!!!), Pink Floyd, Spacemen 3/Spectrum/Spiritualized, Damien Rice, Jesus And Mary Chain, John Cale, Stina Nordenstam, The White Stripes, Black Box Recorder, Hamell On Trial, Emmylou Harris, The Ramones, etc etc etc...

Oh, and Rachel, the music geek in me :D has to point out: Johnny Cash never actually went to prison. He was in custody a couple of times, though. And the Sex Pistols' "Never Mind The Bollocks" is one of the greatest rock'n'roll albums ever made, and quite easy to find.

[Kashkin]

Fontainhas, what the heck was Röyksopp doing in with some of those?
Weird.
Um... Sufjan Stevens, Minus the Bear, American Analog Set, Arcade Fire, Something for Kate, Spoon, Incubus, Muse, Porcupine Tree, Badly Drawn Boy...

[adilyoussef]

Oasis, Audioslave, Interpol, Muse, Queens of the Stone Age, SnowPatrole, and the one since I was 15 nirvana.

[Hazel-Ra]

Beergood - I love Lou Reed's Transformer... Can you recommend another album for me?

I adore David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd, The Cure, Placebo, Led Zeppelin, Dave Matthews Band.

So far I've seen Bowie, The Cure and Placebo live. I've yet to see the rest! Pink Floyd *sighs* will I ever get to see them?? Led Zeppelin I suppose I'll have to get to a Jimmy Page/Robert Plant show.

[beer good]

Beergood - I love Lou Reed's Transformer... Can you recommend another album for me?
Sure! None of his other albums really sound exactly like Transformer - he's one of those artists who has never made two similar records in his life - but you might want to check out for instance "Coney Island Baby", "Rock And Roll Animal" or "Berlin" which are somewhat in the same vein ("Berlin" is his best IMO, though it's possibly the most depressing album ever recorded). Some of his less glam-rock-y albums I love are "New York", "The Blue Mask" and "Street Hassle" - guitar-heavy, literate and viciously human.

And of course, the Velvet Underground's three first albums ("The Velvet Underground & Nico", "White Light/White Heat" and "The Velvet Underground") are an absolute must. This is where Bowie learned just about everything.

That wasn't so much "another" album as a whole slew of'em, I know... sorry 'bout that.

EDIT: Love your signature, by the way. I used to listen to "Dark Side Of The Moon" once every day for over a year when I first got it...

[rachel]

thanks for the info Beer.
However you are talking about Vernon, we don't even have a single escalator and hardly any elevators. That is why filmmakers use our city because we are stuck in the fourties in some ways. So I have never seen Sid anywhere. I will go to Kelowna and see what they have. I haven't met anyone who like Emmylou but she is awesome, and she has such a neat look. David Bowie fascinates me.Is it true that his first wife resembled him?
kilted , thanks , I was just going to pm you. and you are so right about wee Hasia. when she gets ticked at me she runs at me like a linebacker and head butts me. I have just about been knocked out by her deciding to try out her really heavy toy phone on my head!She watched finding Neverland and ever after when she doesn't want to do something she says"I won't I won't and in a perfect British accent.
She's very sensitve but not only would she adore you she'd take you on in a heartbeat

[Fontainhas]

Oasis, Audioslave, Interpol, Muse, Queens of the Stone Age, SnowPatrole, and the one since I was 15 nirvana.

^_^ great taste!

[rachel]

Yes he has great taste in everything,
and I am fast seeing that you do too.

[Jay]

Linky to similar thread (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14045) :p

[Kashkin]

Interpol, Muse, Queens of the Stone Age, SnowPatrole
Good bands. But Snow Patrol doesn't have an e (Final Straw is their best album).

So, to add to what I said previously...

Six Organs of Admittance, Sigur Ros, The Shins, Okkervil River, Mogwai, Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine, Godspeed You Black Emperor, The Fray, The Flaming Lips, Elliott Smith, Doves, Devendra Banhart, Death Cab for Cutie, Copeland, Broken Social Scene, and Citizen Cope.

There. That's pretty much my musical taste.

[Taliesin]

Want to know about our favourite bands? Here you go:
Singer Vinger, Vennaskond, Sõpruse Puiestee, Dagö, Jäääär, Justament, Kiritöö, Tätte and Matvere, Urb brothers.
We seriously doubt that anyone has heard of them.

[Basil]

Dagö, Jäääär, Kiritöö, Tätte
I guess those bands all added umlauts to their names in an attempt to make themselves sound more heavy metal?

Hey guys, Motörhead and Mötley Crüe have already done it! Come up with your own ideas!

[Kashkin]

You know, it's also a pronunciation thing. It might not be trend following. Besides, Motley Crue doesn't count as music.

[EAP]

Fuzon
Noori
Aaroh
Strings
Awaz (defunct)
Junoon (defunct)
Vital Signs (defunct)

[Taliesin]

Dagö, Jäääär, Kiritöö, Tätte

:lol:

Well, actually, none of these is a heavy metal band nor artist.

They are all mostly folk.
And the dots are rightly there. They belong there.

Dagö is an old name for an Estonian island.
Jäääär is an estonian word that boasts four similar vowels in a row - we think that it is a record. It means ice-edge.
Kiritöö is a folk band and it means something like "writing work" or "pattern work".
And Tätte is just the name of the singer.

And well, ö, ä, ü and õ are honest independent estonian vowels that differ from each other and from a, u and o.
So no heavy metal allusions there.

Ä (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%84)
Õ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%95)
Ü (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9C)
Ö (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96)

Heavy Metal Umlaut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_umlaut)

Billy Joel and Elton John are two of my favorite solo performers.

[Taliesin]

Continuing on the subject of metal:
A guide to those who want to make a black metal band (http://www.zone.ee/blackmetal/eng/main_eng.htm)

For example, a piece of advice from that site:

You must sing like a cat being raped, because that is the only vocal style accepted in black metal circles. While singing in English is relatively ok, it is somewhat prone to sell-outism. There are three languages that are superior to others, and it would be best if you sang in one of these languages, which are Norwegian, Latin and Orkish. It is even better if neither the singer nor the author of the lyrics actually knows the language.

[IrishCanadian]

So wo don't listen to mettle ... I'v never understood heavey mettle.
Yay for non conformity (this comming from someone who likes the Beatles amoung others).

And here's the 101 rules of black metal (http://metalstorm.ee/fun/view_fun.php?id=9) .

75. True black metaller: "Many of our dark hymns are influenced by the mighty Tolkien... You have not read the works of Tolkien!? Nerd. Wait a minute... It appears I am the nerdy one after all!"

[RobinHood3000]

Bah--Tolkien-readers are no nerds. They are geeks.

The difference:

Nerds carry slide rules. Geeks equip Slide Rules of Wisdom with a +15 to Intuition and a -50 to Popularity.

[Pendragon]

Eagles top my list, period. I also like Bob Segar, Air Supply, Styx, Simon & Garfunkle (add your coment about wieene rock here), John Denver, Peter, Paul, and Mary (love folk guitar and poetry) Yeah, and I like country music too. The Outlaws (Willie, Waylon, Cash, and Kristopherson), Sawyer Brown, Diamond Rio, Blackhawk, Confederate Railroad, Rascal Flats, and many more. Learned to play bass guitar on Deep Purple's Machine Head album, play flattop with a variaty of chords from the different folk artists. http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/verkleidung/costumed-smiley-063.gif

Kilted Exile:

You said you like Johnny Cash. I live right down the road from his home. I can tell you all about it! It's very cool. Just thought that was interesting.

*wink, wink*

[AimusSage]

On the top, by a mile are Iron Maiden, especially for live performances, they are unrivalled.

Following them by a distance is Judas Priest

However, I am by no means a simple metal head, who only listens to metal, I have a musical taste that spans decades of music, dozens of genres, etc. But my favourites where asked, so I give them.

Oh, and If you ever have a chance to go to an Iron Maiden Concert, make sure you do, I guarantee you will be blown away by the performance.

[IrishCanadian]
