Music You listen too...

[Jake]

Old stuff? What would qualify as old stuff?

This is what I have listened to today so far on Jakes old i-tunes jukebox
Long December-Counting Crows
Dishwalla--Counting Blue Cars
I Robot-Alan Parsons
Transcendental Blues-Steve Earle
Romeo is Bleeding-Tom Waits
Waltzing Matilda-Tom Waits
A Good Man is Hard to Find-Tom Waits
Black (unplugged)-Pearl Jam
Daughter-Pearl Jam
Clubbed to Death- Rob Dougan (Matrix Soundtrack)
Here Comes The Sun-Richie Havens
The Brazilian-Genesis

Now I think I'll finish up with Frank Zappa's entire Sheik Yerbouti album and call it a day.

You lost me when you crossed the border to Frank Zappaland! LOL

Oh man– Zappa was a genius. He could write the most obnoxious stuff, suggestive stuff or the best jazz or guitar music by any musician out there.

Great album Black Sabbath Paranoid. One of a few I had on "8 track" than vinyl and cassette and CD I think I did the same with AC/DC "Back in Black", Meat Loaf "Bat out of Hell" and Cheap Trick "Live at Budokan" who’s old ?

Not denying Zappa was a genius, just don't like jazz for the most part and hate "avant garde" jazz for sure. Stems from having a jazz musician for a father and the damn stuff blaring all hours of the night (musicians don't get up until 3:00 PM you know). Just a personal dislike, hence I quit following you when you crossed that line! LOL

AC|DC Back in Black! one of the greatest of all times, I actually think the AC|DC live album that is much more current is probably the best of all time for them. Funny, first time I heard them or ZZ Top, I didn't like, but that changed quickly, so I actually don't judge something tell I try to give it a chance or have listen to it a few times (Yes I worked for an architect right out of school who was a huge Frank Zappa fan and had every legal and bootlegged copy of Zappa albums obtainable and played them constantly, so yes, I have given them a chance)

The thing is, there is so much good stuff and genre's that I can't think of the best, I could argue that Beattle's white album is it and many would agree, I could say Foreigner's Foreigner 4 is the best and not as many would agree with me, but for it's time it was a hell of an album, doesn't really matter it is how the music affects you, so if Zappa gets your adrenlin running fantastic, I am just not into the intellectual sounds of experimental jazz and more into the garage band sound that gets my blood pumping

Brand New Days of Sting,Scenes From A Memory and A Change Of Season of Dreamtheatre, Another Brick On The Wall of Pink Floyd are great to me.

i've started to listen to some latin jazz too, like Pink Martini it sounds very good specially for a relaxing while working experience. Tito Puente performs salsa and salsa jazz (which i find better for listening than dancing while rendering )

if you want some blood pumping Russell, you might try a bit of Timbalada, straight back to the roots in african alike drums.

Another Post. Few of my favorite lyrics. I really love these.

Wasted Time

Well baby, there you stand
With your little head, down in your hand
Oh, my God, you can't believe
It's happening again
your baby's gone, and you're all alone
and it looks like the end.

And you're back out on the street.
And you're tryin' to remember.
How will you start it over?
You don't know if you can.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch,
but you can't hold your man.

You never thought you'd be alone
this far down the line
And I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinking
about the first time that you fell
You didn't love the boy too much, no, no
you just loved the boy too well, farewell
So you live from day to day, and you dream
about tomorrow, oh.

And the hours go by like minutes
and the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something
to make them go away
And I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind from wonderin' what
I left behind and from worrying 'bout this wasted time

Ooh, another love has come and gone
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me
before you went out on your own:
"Sometimes to keep it together,
you got to leave it alone."

So you can get on with your search, baby,
and I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find,
that it wasn't really wasted time



Blowin' in the wind

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.



New Kid In Town

There's talk on the street; it sounds so familiar
Great expectations, everybody's watching you
People you meet, they all seem to know you
Even your old friends treat you like you're something new

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Everybody loves you, so don't let them down

You look in her eyes; the music begins to play
Hopeless romantics, here we go again
But after awhile, you're lookin' the other way
It's those restless hearts that never mend

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Will she still love you when you're not around?
There's so many things you should have told her,
but night after night you're willing to hold her,
Just hold her, tears on your shoulder

There's talk on the street, it's there to
Remind you, that it doesn't really matter
which side you're on.
You're walking away and they're talking behind you
They will never forget you 'til somebody new comes along
Where you been lately? There's a new kid in town
Everybody loves him, don't they?
Now he's holding her, and you're still around
Oh, my, my
There's a new kid in town
Ooh, hoo
just another new kid in town
Ooh, hoo
Everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town,
Everybody's walking' like the new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
