Oui mon ami,

I have.Can't listen to bread any more.Too syrupy for my liking.

JJ Cale & Cream are favs.

BTW have you heard the new Clapton and Cale Album ?

Some other favorites include:
-Buffalo Springfield
-Traffic
-Steve Winwood
-The late great Frank Zappa
-Emerson Lake and Palmer
-Blind Faith
-Bruce Horsby and the Range
-Yardbirds
-Led Zepplin (Vol 1,2& 3 are the classics IMHO)
-Jeff Beck
-Howlin' wolf,Lightnin' Hawkins,Muddy Waters and the other great Blues Masters
etc,etc

je ne peux pas dire plus
would love to own a clapton/cale album do you have the details ?

These i have heard and ELP is a favourite and their CDs are not easy to come by !
-Steve Winwood
-The late great Frank Zappa
-Emerson Lake and Palmer
-Yardbirds
-Led Zepplin
-Jeff Beck
-MUddy Waters

not really heard the others. but would lime to include Chris Rhea and Chris deBurgh in this.

CCR is another group which MUST come into this along with bob marley, bruce springsteen, U2 and the Doors.

The Clapton/Cale album is called The Road to Escondido, released on the Reprise / Wea label and is available
locally.I'm sure that Planet M in B'lore should stock a copy.

Another album that I would recommend is The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions by the uber blues legend, Howlin' Wolf. It was one of the first of the super session albums, that features a blues legend with the backing of famous white musicians like Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman...

Legend has it that Howlin' Wolf was pretty clueless as to who these white kids were

The CD includes an outtake of the famous Killin' Floor where Wolf instructs an awestruck Clapton on how to play the song correctly

Little River Band - Man on your mind

Second that.From the album Time Exposure.

In fact all the songs are pretty good.

Another album in that vein is Toto IV.

Cheers

I quite like Oysterhead - featuring one 'o my favourite drummers - Stewart Copeland, the trio also features Trey Anastasio of Phish

I am thrilled to see that the breadth of music in this forum is not just for Jazz/classical/vocals.

BTW anyone who like country ie of the Kenny Rogers,Alabama , Allman Bros ?

Arj schrieb:

Kenny Rogers...I used to listen a long time back on tapes...somewhere down the line, hit a 'classic' 'rock' and turned 'progressive'

I loved his Lucille, Coward of the county, Islands in the stream, Ruby..don't take your love to town"...and other songs, as simple as you can get..

Had forgotten him, thanks for reminding

Allman Bros were good too..

recently got his "best of" his voice is prettyn nice and simple .
Do y0ou rmember a group called Chicago ? -that rockish/jazzish soulful group (Love Me Tomorrow, Hard To Say I'm Sorry, You're The Inspiration etc)

Um... I was referring to Little River Band.

Yeah - Kenny Rogers is ok. But too much of him bores me.

Arj,
Kenny Rogers had released a new album last yr ithink, "Water and Bridges". Pretty good album, has touched some of the current issues faced by man. Kenny fans may find that he has gone more pop style.

Anil

Allman Brother Band Mon Ami,
That brings back fond memories - Jessica,Ramblin' man,Sweet Melissa ...aah.

Shahrukh, your are absolutely right.Outside of a greatest hits album, I've seen very little of the LRB.

Continuing on the topic of old bands.

The Police anybody ? and what about AC/DC - Back in Black.My all time favourite 'Wake up the neighbours' album.

Steely Dan,Doobie Bros...

On a personal note, i'm rediscovering both the great Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever.

Cheers
K

P.S- Keep that list going

Add Al Stewart to that list.

Steely Dan - yessir!! I love em!!

Krish schrieb:

Police yes and as a logical continuation Sting himself who has done quite a bit.

Peter Gabriel..that man after his initial "Sledge hammer" days has tried to be very different with music especially in "Passions" which is the soundtrack from mel gibsons movie on Jesus Christ.

Allannah Myles is another name..her song Black Velvet was excellent although could not rise much over it.

Foreigner ? Tears for Fears? Van halen and of course Deep Purple who were a tru out and out rock group.

One of my favourites is of course the colourful Freddie of Queen.

Anyone remember Eurythmics ? very very poppish but Anne Lennox had a very different voice.

Arj schrieb:

Yes I do...all that syrupy and mushy stuff plus some mixture of MLTR, bryan adams & co. and you have

IMO I guess those have a 'best before' dates during one's younger years...after which you can still reminisce..but sometimes you don't want to

Freddie rules!!
My #1 vocalist - EVER!!!

Like Annie Lennox - post Eurythmics!

Try and listen to her MTV Unplugged version of "Here Comes The Rain Again" - B E A utiful!!

Voodoo_CHild schrieb:

hey I forgot GNR..anyone knows what happened to Axl Rose ?

Krish schrieb:

Couldnt agree more! If I name any track on that album saying...I liked this or I liked that...its a disgrace.

Absolute thumper of an album!

Arj schrieb:

Yeah! He lost a lot of his hair and puffed up - in more ways than one!

I definitely wouldnt have recognised if you had put up this without mentioning its him..

Meanwhile Slash, I guess still retains his decade old style statement and now plays with 'Velvet Revlver' which he cofounded with the other member of GNR.

Did you know that between GNR and Velvet R, Slash had his own band called Slash's Snakepit?? Now THAT'S a band name!

Goo goo dolls - pah!

REM - love the band
Of course METALLICA - (with the Michael Carmen - Symphony, what a cd!)
America - yeah yeah - One of my favs - Horse with no Name

AC/DC was one band i never ever tried.

They were rumoured to be gay ..perhaps that was the reason..would not have gone down well with the fairer sex.

Think this would be a good album for a late bloomer into this band ?


Are there no Deep Purple Fans ? Gillan ,Blackmore, Lord and pace did comedown to mumbai in 1995 ..and Me was there then.

Child in Time, When a blind man cries, Highway star, perfect strangers,, Black night, Women from Tokyo...and i could go on.

Due to it i even was a fan of their splinter groups ie Blackmores 'Rainbow" along with Dio and Whitesnake.


Unfortunately the recording quality of Rainbow is really bad. classics like "temple of the King", "man on the silver mountain" sound really compressed the tape on a sony compo sounded better

bharathana schrieb:

REM...One of the best bands of 90s...the more you listen to them, the more you want..

My favorites of theirs are Automatic for the People, Out of Time and Murmur.

Just go for it...See if you can stop in between...I reiterate, its an all out hard rock

Arj schrieb:

Classic Rock...no explicit mention required

Need recommendations for:

Tears for Fears
Whitesnake
Goo goo dolls
Rainbow

Have heard a few songs of all of them in some compilations, but dont have any of their studio albums.

Almost all the groups mentioned bring alive memories

Ya, they bring back mammaries for me too.
Sigh...oh those mammaries of yore!

Kamal !

"Mammaries"? I didn't see anyone mentioning Pamela Andersson Lee - did she do an album???

Voodoo, if you need to get a feel of these bands, here are my suggestions for the albums to go for -
Tears for Fear - Songs from the Big Chair (got superhits like shout and everybody wants to rule the world)
Whitesnake - Slip of the tongue (got songs like fool for ur loving, sailing ships and the deeper the love)
Goo goo dolls - Dizzy up the girl (pretty much the only album worth it, IMHO)
Rainbow - Blackmore's rainbow (got songs like temple of the king, man on the silver mountain and catch the rainbow)
Rainbow - Rising (Dio on the vocals)
Rainbow - Long live rock and roll (Dio on the vocals)

U said it doc...this does bring back great mammaries

Speaking of ancient gods, remember these bands? -
Uriah Heep
King Crimson
Gentle Giant
Camel
Yes
Traffic

...and how come we talked 'bout ac/dc, deep purple, rainbow and whitesnake...and missed out black sabbath...the godfathers of modren day hard rock!

soulforged schrieb:

yeah these were nice tooo. and Black Sabbath yessir

to add Judas Priest. and The Who

The Who has been really talented.

there are others like ZZtop, Go west whom i never reallycaught on to and of course the rather vague "Kiss" and the "Talking heads"


Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

THE album of Rainbows...both "Temple of the King" and "Catch the rainbow" are Haunting.

hmm...Paranoia has led to Amnesia

Arj schrieb:

One of the greatest rock bands ever..also dubbed 'the greatest live band' during their time
They are not talked about much but they (read it pete townshend's brain) pioneered many ideas like the 'lifehouse project'(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifehouse_%28album%29)

'Whos next' is the album I like very much and the first thing which hits your eyes is the fantastic front cover on the album sleeve.



Apparently the band had discovered a concrete monolith on a Sheffield slag-heap, a potent symbol of alienation and the mundane uniformity of modern life. This was a wonderful example of real life surrealism, for which the band could find no other purpose than to piss upon!

Quadrophenia and Tommy are great albums too..

U said it Arj...those were the days my friend...

I would also recommend Gentle Giant and Camel to everybody...you just have to listen to these bands...they are phenomenal...

Gentle Giant's brand of rock is soaked in jazz influences and they experiment with really odd-timed syncopations and user very 'non-rock' instruments...

Camel's music is hard to classify but mostly symphonic...very innovative and soulful...

Try out these albums if you find them -
Gentle Giant - In a glass house, octopus, aquiring the taste
Camel - Mirage, Moonmadness, the snow goose

Hey Arj,
Here is a recco for you.I'm sure you will enjoy this album.

Cole's Corner by Richard Hawley

Richard Hawley was at one time in the mid nineties, in a group called The Pulp, they according to the critice, were the intelligent alternative to other popular Brit Bands of that time, like Oasis and Blur.

This album is however quite different.While Hawley's baritone on this lushly produced album is remicent of singers like Leonard Cohen...the music is for most parts also reminicent of the Great Roy Orbison.

Check out the video of Cole's Corner on UTube here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR-MTZVppkA

...and the album is available locally

Cheers

And another one for all you fans of the Who.

All the Best Cowboys have Blue Chinese Eyes - Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend is at the height of his power as a song writer on this album.Full of exquiste irony and pithy observations of a once famous, now ageing rocker.

Cheers

Listening to an 'Oldies' compilation:
Rose garden
Before the next teardrop falls
Top of the world
Rhinestone cowboy
Wonderful world
Kisses sweeter than wine
Tom Dooley
Don't expect me to be your friend

Who needs the 21st century?

Annie Lennox is simply superb: one of my all time fav female artistes.

Listening to the Guru OST - A. R. Rahman

Seems to be a really nice recording. I can't put my finger on it...I think he has put in more stereo separation or something. Different things happening in both channels. Feels nice
