Hey now-forty five year old here-don't knock Billy Joel. How old are you anyway? Ever heard of the Beatles? The Stones? OK, Aerosmith maybe? Sad, sad, sad-going shopping for a wheelchair tomorrow-are Sears stores still open? |
I am so busy (lame?) that I can't remember the names of the music I like, much less come up with new ones. I am really loving Radio Paradise (internet radio - www.radioparadise.com) and Pandora right now, esp. Pandora stations where you basically say, hey, I like the Pixies so give me other music that's similar you think I'd like.
But to help with your actual question: Tom Waits Neville Bros Peter Tosh Pixies Pogues Neil Young Corinne Rae Bailey Throwing Muses Hey, does anyone know who sings that sweet new song 1-2-3 (probably not the actual name of it)? It's by some young guy and I love it. |
I'm Not the Billy Joel Crowd. I'm 31. I like Billy Joel fine, I have seen him in concert, I find him unobjectionable and nice... but not awesome, and I would never, ever describe myself as the Billy Joel "crowd" (obviously). Billy Joel is just not even in the top twenty of artists that I would label myself with. Please, please tell me that you do not think Billy Joel is the same as the Beatles and the Stones. Not the same. NOT THE SAME. I mean, you may be right, but you may be crazy... (Haha, see what I did there?) |
Lucinda Williams
Wilco Neko Case Emmylou Harris (I've really gotten into alt country lately) Yeah Yeah Yeahs It's also fun to rediscover old favorites. Depeche Mode, New Order, Jesus and Mary Chain, Oasis |
It's interesting that if a husband & wife go to a rock concert of a male singer/band, the woman will say, "he's still hot", while the guy says, "he can still rock !!!" ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Mellow: Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Matt Nathanson
Not so Mellow: Franz Ferdinand |
I love all kinds of music (except maybe country and Bavarian yodeling). My mp3 player has everything from Joe Jackson and Tori Amos to Eminem and old school Metallica. I am now on on 80s Michael Jackson kick.
I was really impressed with Ne-Yo when I saw him for the first time on Tavis Smiley. I also love Ray Lamontagne. I still listen to Pearl Jam and Radiohead; those songs just never get old. My favorite album of the last couple of years is probably Serj Tankian, but I don't think that falls into the "mainstream" category. I love youtube because you can find any kind of music and listen to whole songs. Just make up a playlist with that handy feature and see what strikes your fancy. |
Cowboy Junkies
Tuck and Patti |
LOL poster -- no, I think what she meant is that Billy Joel is the same as the Beatles, the Stones, and .................. AEROSMITH! no no no! So not the same. |
This is my favorite song. It is by Captain Beefheart. The lyrics speak to me also. It was between this and Alice Cooper's Hey Stoopid. It's so hot looks like you have three beaks crow the moon's so full white hat on a pumpkin you know there's something the moon was a stone's throw stop the show I need to say hello to the crow light the fire piano the moon showed up and it started to show tonight there'd be ice cream ice cream for crow ice cream for crow sun cream by day ice cream for crow ice cream by night ice cream by day the sun ain't stable ice cream for crow crow pants the scarecrow crow dance ah ho ho crow dance ah panther scare crow you answer you can hee and haw laugh and scratch ha ha ha ha ha ha boss and toss don't shake my hand give me your claw two tears in a haystack scarecrow get back tonight there's gonna be a feather treatment beneath the symbol we'll all assemble oh how we'll fly oh how we'll tremble cut the cake we'll all get well turn up the speakers hop flop squawk it's a keeper ice cream for show ice cream for crow now now that's it now you can go |
