Music Thread - part 2

Me too, I don't know why I even come here anymore.

Maybe you are lonely?

Keep guessing. 😴

You may have noticed that for the last few weeks I have avoided posting replies to Pawian's increasingly insane posts.
There is a good reason for this, he is an azzhole.And he might like this song, because he likes Punk or Punky Rock.
This is for him.

Hes just a troll to be ignored. Or kick his ass, its like taking away candy from a baby.

A couple of tracks from a great band I've seen live a couple of times now.

Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy



This next track was used as the opening sequence in American series House MD, which I'm also a big fan of.

Massive Attack - Teardrop



And one from Radiohead:

Karma Police

Sorry, Rat, I never open links by rats cos they are garbage. Such an innocent simian habit of mine. :):):)

Which is what I now do as he is a complete waste of time.There is no point engaging with this complete moron.

@Feniks

I liked all your posts, all songs I know and love.

Hey, Rat, I was joking with sending my 3 cats after you!!!!
Coz I am going to send only 2!!!!! Relax!!! hahahaha buhahaha Ale witz!!! ):):)

Enough Jerzy/Pawian/Bonobo crap.

Let's have some good music instead.......

More good music and less crap from Jerzy/Pawian/Bonobo is what we need on this forum, to save it from the trolls.

I'll end my posts with this one that shows that Europeans and Arabs can unite.

A great musician/songwriter who doesn't seem to get any credit in this thread.

The name Cheb Mami suggests rai, an Algerian genre originating in Oran, Algeria...

The genre is generally less distinct musically from other Arab music and more distinct in terms of lyrics which often touched on political or sexual topics (and so very much not popular among strict islamists).

A pioneer in the genre and one of my favorite Arabs singers was Cheikha Rimitti, a cultural icon whose lyrics were often openly sexual (one early record calls for women to have sex before marriage). Some of these were similar to traditional songs sung in all-female company but she brought them to a wider audience.

Often at odds with the government there were times where she was not allowed on the airwaves and she supported herself through private performances, mostly at weddings (a mainstay for Arab performers). She eventually moved to France. Toward the end of her life she had a career resurgence as younger generations discovered her music and she also recorded again.

This is Saida a song with sensual and political overtones with double meanings...

To be honest I've not heard that much by him other than Heart of Gold and After the Gold Rush. Not heard the track you've posted before.

He is headlining at Hyde Park this year if you're interested:

Neil Young has turned into exactly the kind of establishment mouthpiece he used to rail against.

I refuse to listen to his whining voice and most of his songs all sound the same.

@Vincent
Neil Young is great. Two little known facts about him...his First recording deal was with Motown

Secondly he was touring a new album and the crowd wanted to hear Harvest. He stopped the gig and told the crowd if they stopped calling for harvest songs he would play something they had heard before. At the end of the show he paused and then played the same new songs a second time. Gotta love the man.

I would think he would be very disappointed if he knew this.


Those two albums were classics, and they must be nearly 50 years old by now.


Glad you also think so Barney

That made me laugh:)

I saw him in concert in the 80`s back when he was normal.

He has a lot of depressing songs as well. Heres a classic. I only have issues bc he turned into a dick in his old age.

Have to agree, from the albums I've heard, his best work was in the 70's and 80's.

This is the best album with all his old songs... Neil Young- Decade
Heres the entire LP



Cowgirl in the Sand and Old Man are 2 of my favs.



great song here

He had some harder rock songs that came out in the 90`s

This one was a big hit.

Liked all of those songs. This is an album that I should buy.

Agreed.

@Joker

I enjoyed all your Neil Young posts.
"Rockin' in the free world" is a total classic!

With all the sickening antisemitism in the world today, not least coming from our own Novichok traitor,I thought I would remind you of the Jewish contribution to Western Rock music.Peter Green was Jewish.

Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper were both Jewish.



Mark Knopfler is Jewish.



Walter Becker and Donald Fagen are both Jewish.



And another genius song from Steely Dan.

Marc Bolan was Jewish.



Paul Kossoff was Jewish.



Dave Lee Roth is Jewish.



I'll end with the same tune that I kicked off my Jewish posts with.
Slash is Jewish too.... "Oh Well"......

But he is probably not orthodox? 🤔

Well, he has always denied the fact that he is Jewish.He certainly seems to be anti religion.
But the debate rages on.Whatever the truth is, he was never brought up as a Jew.
