You play the first one while you explain something

You play the second one while you are driving
and it makes you look like a better driver.

sounds like classical or instrumental music.

What's wrong with classical music?

If it didn't exist, the pop writers would have nothing to steal from...

i was assuming the music genre...since i've never heard of him.
my favourite classical piece is pachabel - cannon in d, in various instrumental version.

so does anyone like king crimson?

mf1941 · 5 Oct 2004, 05:53 AM

I loved King Crimson during their "3 of a Perfect Pair" days,
'Red" w/ John Wetton is also a classic.

I haven't kept up so much w/them during the current incarnation though. Any of their recent work stand out?...

get in the court of the crimson king and in the wake of posidon

i wish i could find my three of a perfect pair tape

mf1941 · 5 Oct 2004, 06:06 AM

Yes, I know the old stuff. Frippertronics rocks!!
I liked the dimension when Adrian Belew joined the band.

The older stuff similar to early Genesis w/ Steve Hackett who has put out a few outstanding live albums in the past decade w/ King Crimson/Genesis alumni.. 'the Tokyo Tapes" for one...

The 'Cold Live at the Chapel' is a very kewl live music dvd (melbourne australia)

The SilverChair Best of music DVD is also very good!!!!

Oh, and the new So Fresh compliation is also ok! Tho I know it is a compliation!

Hi Dan, thanks for reviving my thread again

I'm in the process of replacing some of the albums I've had on cassette or vinyl format. eBay has been a good source for this, recent classic CD purchases include:

Bob Dylan ~ Blood On The Tracks

J.J. Cale ~ Special Edition

Led Zeppelin IV

Stevie Wonder ~ Songs In The Key Of Life

...and the first five Little Feat albums:
Little Feat
Sailin' Shoes
Dixie Chicken
Feats Don't Fail Me Now
The Last Record Album

Evermore is pritty cool.

Tho one cd I would NOT reccomend is ol' britney spears 'my perogative, greatest hits'
We've had this on at work over and over and over...

The new Gwen Stefani song 'what are you waiting for' is very kewl, and the film clip is awesome. Very trippy.

The eagles best of is pritty cool as well

The Storm · 18 Dec 2004, 08:56 AM

I've found another cool song!

Its called LadyFlash, by the Go! Team. When I first heard it I thought it was a 70's song (the film clip is very retro) But apparently its a 2004 release.

Cool song

There is too much sax and violins in music.

Imagination is the key to my lyrics. The rest is painted with a little science fiction.

One very cool song I've recently 'rediscovered' is Spaceman by Babylon Zoo. Its currently featuring on the Battlestar Galatica promo's on aussie tv.
