CDs that should be in everyone's collection! - Page 8

Sorry to hear you were in hospital Robert, hope you're feeling better now. I don't think I've ever heard anything by King Crimson, I'll have to check these tracks out.

All the best!

Let me stick in a few of my favourites, as well. I hope music DVDs are allowed.

- Rickie Lee Jones / Rickie Lee Jones. Not a very well known singer/songwriter. She had a very small hit with Chuck E's in love (on this album), but personally I prefer Night Train or (for those of an audiophiliac turn of mind) Easy Money. Rickie Lee's album Girl At Her Volcano is pretty hard to come by, but has a couple of very good covers (Under The Boardwalk will never be the same to me again). Rickie Lee's website

- Van Morrison, Into the Music. I know most Van Fans would put Astral Weeks on #1, but I find that one harder to get into. Also, whenever I hear Bright Side of the Road played on the radio, I can't stop myself from turning the volume all the way up. Van's website

- Alison Krauss & Union Station Live (DVD). I'm not really a bluegrass fan, but Alison Krauss has been a favourite of mine since I heard her Baby Now That I've Found You. It's not for you if you like to go totally headless listening to music, as Alison & the band are always in total control, but this album does send shivers down my spine.

- The Amazing Rhytem Aces, How The Hell Do You Spell Rhythum? And old favourite of mine. They would have been as popular as The Eagles, someone wrote, had it not been for one of those particular snags that happen so often in the record industry.

I've always loved some of Elton John's early material, a lot of which I am replacing in CD format. Amazon are selling these quite cheaply now, so I asked my son to get me a couple for Christmas.

'Madman Across The Water' and ' Honky Chateau' are in my opinion his two finest albums, better even than the much loved 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' and 'Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy'.

Just listened to these tracks Robert and I'm impressed too, nobody seems to make stuff as good as this anymore!

Whilst staying at my folks place on holiday, I got the chance to listen to some music I hadn't heard in quite a while. (unfortunately they stopped updating their cd collection at the end of the 90's :-\ ) Here are some great 90's tracks.

Mountain - Chocolate Starfish
Shine - Collective Soul
Walk this world - Heather Nova
My Island Home - Christine Anu

Some new music:
Sleeping Satelite - Aurora
Why Not? - Hilary Duff
So Yesterday - Hilary Duff
My Immortal - Evanescence
What about me - Shannan Noll (australian idol)
Heya - Outkast

(did anyone see Hilary and Missy Eliot get 'punked' by Ashton on Punkt?

)

Blink 182 - I miss you

Blink 182 - Feeling this

Evanescense - My Immortal

Machine Gun Fellatio - Rollercoaster

Manfred Mann's Earth Band
"The Roaring Silence"

Deep Purple
"The House Of Blue Light"

Ian Dury & The Blockheads
"New Boots and Panties"

I noticed some other of my favs here like Til Tuesday or The Police.:

For some reason I'm currently on a Genesis binge.

(Did you somehow get the idea that I'm mainly a prog-rock fan?

)

Selling England by the Pound and A Trick of the Tail are (IMO) especially brilliant, but I like all their stuff I've heard so far.

Well I definately don't like 'traditional' country music, Dolly Parton style and all that

But surely there are two good reasons for liking Dolly Parton?

robert@fm · 30 Mar 2004, 05:12 AM

Back in 1999, I burned myself a CD of music I found particularly relaxing.

Here is the track listing, for those who don't want to wade through the gruesome techie details in the linked newspost:

01 Venus, Bringer of Peace (The Planets) — Holst
02 Oh!  Well (part 2) — Fleetwood Mac
03 Aquarium (Carnival of the Animals) — Saint-Säens
04 Nucleus — Alan Parsons Project
05 Day After Day (The Show Must Go On) — Alan Parsons Project
06 Going Home (Largo from "New World", excerpt) — Dvořák
07 Albatross — Fleetwood Mac
08 Flying — Beatles
09 Horizons — Genesis
10 Sweet Dreams — Roy Buchanan
11 Blackbird — Beatles
12 Extrapolation — John McLaughlin
13 Total Eclipse — Alan Parsons Project
14 Genesis 1:32 — Alan Parsons Project
15 Kathy's Waltz — Dave Brubeck Quartet
16 Tubular Bells part 2 (excerpt) — Mike Oldfield
17 Dance of the Spirits of Water (The Perfect Fool) — Holst
18 Unquiet Slumber for the Sleepers... — Genesis
19 Neptune, the Mystic (The Planets) — Holst

(Anyone know the right character entry to get the proper accent (caron or hacek) on the "r" of Dvorák?

)

(edit: got it, thanks Adrian!

)

Yep, that's the one!

So I'll now edit my post...

(I'm surprised that "&rcaron;" isn't recognised, at least by this IE; although the standard might actually be "rhacek" or some other way of putting it...)

No "&rcaron;" is correct see here but it does not seem to be supported as yet. See the info I found here.

Thanks again for the heads-up!
