Music Thread

Looks like you're missing something, perhaps deliberately, perhaps not.There was nothing in the post about 'rock and roll'. If you look carefully, there's a post of a song from 1997 and a 1932 recording of the song it's based on.

Or perhaps you were replying to someone else's earlier post without bothering to make that clear.

Anyway, here's two songs from a very good singer who's just died aged 80.

Serbian talents show - Sabina Kasumovic - Ja nisam rodjena da zivim sama - NNK - EM 39 - 15.06.2024.

Music that will be sang in all Slavic countries > I was not born to live alone in this stormy time, only in your embrace do I feel safe.

@TheOther

Your Farm post was maybe a bit too long, but I enjoyed it immensely,my kind of stuff!

@jon357

A clever double post.


This American always is.


Correct.JRJim the country bumpkin has got it all wrong as usual!


I think that we are looking at typical American ignorance, lack of education and stupidity here.

There's the problem, a Limey trying to think. 🤣

Contest....I wonder who will get this first, Johnny or Milo?

Neither.

It's obvious. Jimi Hendrix...

Serbian drinking song

Ja bez tebe ne mogu da živim

I can`t live without you, my dear forbidden to me, to find peace at your arms, ...

Definitely Milo yesterday pretending he knows how to play a guitar while taking a dump in a hay field. 🤣

Burt Bacharach - This Guy's in Love with You

Speaking of...



The whole concert from Maui is top. Check it out.

As opposed to a person living in Michigan who can't think......

@jon357

I liked your Francoise Hardy posts, way over JR Jim's head.....


No contest!


When I saw that name, my heart sank, because it's not really my kind of music, but when the video played, I realised that this song was an old classic!

Nobody answered the contest quesrion correctly.

It's Purple Hayes, get it now? Duh!

@TheOther

Your post really kicked me into action.For me, Hendrix was an absolute genius, before his time,which is why so many guitarists have imitated him since.

Here are some, that I think, were the best.







And saving the best till last......

You forgot some of the best:







Not to mention Carlos Santana and Alvin Lee...

I don't think any of the artists you mention were "Jimi Hendrix Copyists", they had a style of their own.

Yeah, sorry. I overlooked the word "imitated". Although, Pat Travers normally doesn't sound like Hendrix. Listen to his album "Live! Go for What You Know".

This is my last post in this thread tonight.
Has anyone ever heard of 'The Velvet Underground and Nico'?

Everyone has heard of them.

They made some god music and some not so good.

Now her

Shania Twain - Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under

Hawkwind -- You Shouldn't Do That

This is a better post, at least no old Serbian tarts..... but I hear music like this in Greek restaurants all the time!


I know,but he certainly can at times!


Yeah, not to my taste.


Yeah, I quite liked Hawkwind.

Saw this woman last Sunday a brilliant singer, brilliant songwriter and a great musician. She is part of what is being called the new wave of Irish music which is odd as she styles herself as a continuation in a long tradition of street singers. The audience was a real mix of ages with thirty somethings the largest section at about 25%. The cream of trad players were there almost paying homage.

Its interesting and special to see musical evolution or a passing of the baton.

I can see why people like her,but she's not to my personal taste and I don't like her voice.

I think Lisa O'Neil will have a niche audience that love her stuff though.

Plangent folk music, like a lot of English similar stuff.

The Unthanks (2 sisters and a cousin from Northumberland) have great voices but do similar stuff to that. Bloody miserable and puts listeners on a downer. They also do Robert Wyatt covers which aren't much more cheerful but at least have something about them.

This is one of my favourite songs sung by a singer with a great voice. The melody is by Alexander Borodin, via Broadway.

A Londoner born in Trinidad and retired to Australia. Almost forgotten now but pretty damn good at what she did.

Very talented experimental musician with an awesome voice:

This is random garbage - both "the composition" and her "voice".
Let me guess ... she is a leftist...
Painful...

This is his best song:)




Lou Reed blows just as bad a Springsteen

She's good.
