Trite song by a man with all the charisma and creative talent of yesterday's spinach dip. 2/10


A moment from the four or five during which Rod (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEoc13bwCw0)wasn't merely embarrassing.

When The Faces split up, Ronnie Lane - the bass player - decided to eschew the Lear Jet lifestyle, and he went out on the road in a bunch of gypsy caravans with his wife and kids, his band and crew, and a whole bunch of clowns, jugglers, stiltwalkers and fire-eaters. A wonderfully romantic idea, admittedly, but hopelessly ill-organised. The caravans were barely roadworthy; the local authorities were unwelcoming; the electricity generator was temperamental and, worst of all, Ronnie didn't think it terribly important to get around to paying anyone.

One night, following a sparsely attended gig in a downpour, the band's disgruntled guitarist slipped off into the darkness, having left a note pinned to the door of Ronnie's caravan, which read:

Goodbye, cruel circus. I'm running away to join the world.

Nick Cave shares your opinion Mark. When asked about the current state of popular music he remarked "I'm forever near a stereo saying, 'What the **** is this garbage?. And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers."

Thing about Neil - I like the guy, respect his choices, admire his waywardness, and I'm truly fond of his wit, his self-deprecation and his ability to be simultaneously serious and facetious. But I just can't bear his music. I really want to like it, but it irritates the hell out of me. 3/10

2/10 I tend to agree with you - he has a talent for writing irritating love songs. Just the Way You Are must be the most patronising and insulting compliment a woman has ever been offered. "Hey - you're stupid, predictable and unadventurous, but I'm lazy and pretty dumb myself so - you know - your complete lack of attractiveness is okay by me."

Marginally less irritating now than it was when it was new. 4/10



Here's one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dcOK7G1o5o)that is much loved by myself and my younger daughter, Grace. It never fails to me move me to a not-unmanly tear. Sometime soon I'll post the one that's special to my elder daughter, Eleanor.

(Yes - a tear. Me. Imagine.)

I see what you're doing Bastable. The old 'daddy-daughter-special-song' routine. Give it anything less than 8 and you'll be condemned as a heartless grinch. Yeah, that's right, I didn't come down in the last shower. 9/10.

[The Comedian]

like it. 8.5/10.

Here's one:

[DanielBenoit]

I found the subtextual juxtaposition of cotton, images of African-Americans in fields and singing about the 'ole' times' to be a little bit subversive, but maybe that's just me and merely unintended. Either way, I'm not that into country anyway. 2/10

This is such a touching and haunting song, and truly a fine eulogy from one of America's greatest artists. I'm not much of a sentimental guy with music, but I usually almost cry when I hear this. Stranger than ever that this is actually a cover of a Nine Inch Nails song, it fits him perfectly and makes it extremely personal and powerful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clq01TXQR0s

[Lokasenna]

Not really my genre, but I found it rather moving. It is subtle and profound - 7.5/10.

It reminded me of this song, though they're actually quite different:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUgbaYQzkOY

[DanielBenoit]

I love all kinds of music, but for some reason most country just can't appeal to me. I love the classic tracks of Johnny Cash of course, and Taylor Swift is quite nice, but most of it just doesn't connect to me unfortunately. Love folk though, lol. 2/10

On the other hand, this does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEC8nqT6Rrk

Good stuff! Not 'real' music, but funny - 8/10.

On the theme of funny songs:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhuMLpdnOjY

[DanielBenoit]

I love Lehrer! Not a bad pianist either. 8/10

Here's musical parody at its best (not as effective if you haven't seen the original). Kinda long yes, but its digressions are brilliant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmGVYki-oyQ

[MarkBastable]

I pretty much despise Weird Al, but this was surprising. The writing was really tight and well-observed. It probably helps that I have no idea what he was parodying. 7/10


To get away from funny, let's go to Zeppelin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDycnxd1Mko&feature=related)- whom I respect, without being moved most of the time. But if I could have had anyone's life in the seventies, it would have been Robert Plant's.

[sixsmith]

Great voice, great guitarist, but I remain, as always, unmoved. 5/10.

Beautifully shot video of a slick performance of a disappointingly banal song.... 3/10



This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny7vW6dgnUY&feature=fvw)is so familiar that it's difficult to get past the easy shrug in order to see how extraordinary a song it is, especially composed and performed by middle-class English teenagers....

[OrphanPip]

Led Zeppelin, a band I just can't get too into for some reason, 6.5/10

Edit: On the other hand, I love "All Right Now" haha 8/10.

@Astro, just to cheer you up, I think that's one of Bjork's finest. I've always loved the video, the subtle use of cgi mixed with animatronics has held up well over the last 10 years.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but you appear to have the measure of guitar-strumming pop groups. It's worth remembering, however, that 'Cabaret' is only an American pastiche of 1930s Berlin.

I've just checked some of your other input to this thread and have to admit that I was wrong.

It's actually a film adaptation of a Broadway musical, which was an adaptation of a play, which was in turn inspired by the short stories of Christopher Isherwood, which were based on his own experiences in Weimar Germany. However, I'm confused what that has to do with the music.

It's many years since I read Isherwood's book Goodbye to Berlin which was actually filmed before as 'I am a Camera', based on the play of the same name by John van Druten. Although I have seen the film, I wouldn't say that it was particularly good but I think it gives a more accurate portrayal of 1930s Berlin than Cabaret. The music is incidental to the momentous events that were taking place in Germany at that time and, to my mind, tends to detract from the underlying seriousness of Isherwood's book.

I don't think that the music is incidental at all. The songs are not merely standalone performances in the club that's the focus of the plot - they are also adroitly used as oblique commentary on the social and political events that form the backdrop to the story. It's an uncharacteristically subtle technique for a Hollywood musical, and I'd say it's pretty true to Isherwood.

Of course, you might object to the book being taken as the basis for a musical at all - and that's a fair position. But then it wouldn't matter how the music was used - just that it existed.

Personally I don't think the subject matter of the book was suited to a musical interpretation which, in my view, was over the top. However, it is only one opinion among many and will no doubt be treated as such.

Hmm, I seem to have started something here. To be honest, I just pick songs that come into my head, not necessarily stuff I listen to; I mostly listen to classical, which wouldn't really work in a thread like this.

I love the song Cabaret, but mostly because one of the most inspirational figures in my life has a tendency to sing it while she's working or doing chores; I have thus always associated it with her! I haven't actually seen the film at all.

This song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K63pu7nd6Q) is definitely not the best "outlaw song" out there, but it's a good listen none the less.

I don't dislike the song as I indicated in my post. It certainly appeals to me more than the any pop group. However, I did find Liza Minnelli's performance rather strident in comparison to that of Julie Harris in the non-musical version of the film but, as I have said, it's a question of personal preference.

Here's Kirsty - who I think I'm going to offer more often here, and whose death upset me more than most anyone I can remember who I didn't personally know - doing a version of a song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa3FwO1Tx-M&feature=related)that even its writer loved.

Dear God, that's horrible. It's the sort of music that would be played in the elevators in Hell. Designed to turn the human brain to mush in seconds. 1/10.

The idea is that you rate the song, commenting if you wish, and then offer another for the next person to rate. It's a trivial little game, and it doesn't matter much - but that's the way it works.

I'll just rate both clips since (I think) Brian Bean didn't rate OrphanPip's song
So, OrphanPip's - 5/10. The boy is cute but that kind of music isn't my cup of tea.

Live version of Break your Heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I1EYCsv_74)

[Lokasenna]

Not bad. A bit passionless - even the singer herself looked quite bored in places. Still, it was alright. 6/10

Now this is one of my favourite pieces by one of my favourite singers - it never fails to move me:

Just listened to Wossisface Ray - 0/10 seems a bit generous to me. Couldn't we award negative marks? :puke:

Julie London wasn't bad so I'll give her 6/10, and I just know you'll enjoy this one.

It makes me wonder what the studio were thinking of assembling the unlikely cast of Vaughan, Montand, and Monroe. I believe it went down like the proverbial lead balloon.

So, when I was in high school, in the wild west -- I remember drinkin' Buds, smokin' cigars an drivin' and old pick up truck down the national forest roads with this song blastin' on the radio. The smell of pines in the air. Good times.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9B5krCdmxA&feature=related

[JuniperWoolf]

You know, my first gut reaction to the acknowledgement that it was country was to scoff. However, I kept listening and decided that I actually liked it. This is rare for a country song, so I'm going to give it an 8.5/10

@Papaya, I saw the Foo Fighters a couple years back on St. Patrick's day and they played a great 3-4 hour show, for a reasonable price too. Not my favourite music in the world, but a great band when it comes to concerts.
