Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 A lovers concerto - The Toys I love this song so much; it's one of the great forgotten hits of the sixties. Did a bit of youtubing yesterday, and the ones I'm still humming are Twist & Shout by The Beatles (my favourite Beatles track), and Somewhere Over the Rainbow by the late Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (Big Iz) - magical. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Hello there, ....I use this site http://www.classicbands.com/whosangthat.html to track down my forgotten favourites as well as new ones heard on the radio...then download them from e.g.'I Tunes' into an 'I Pod' to play on our Bose. The sound is excellent and any manner of playlist can be created. Fabulous way into music Dave Edited March 3, 2013 by Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flapland Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) New Bowie lp which is streaming free on iTunes. Excellent I have to say. Edited March 3, 2013 by flapland 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 The Eagles - Hotel California (just the song, not the whole album). Gold radio are having a seventies weekend - not quite as good as a sixties weekend, but pretty cool nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Downendian Posted March 3, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2013 The Raven that refused to Sing- Steven Wilson Not sure yet but will grow on me I'm sure . Sounds that can't be made- Marillion - now I think after hundreds of plays of the M5 its a classic in the vein of "Marbles" and "Brave" Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfsup Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Very much into Fenech - Soler at the moment after the release of 'Maiyu'. After hearing 'The Stars Are Out Tonight', Bowie's new album will certainly be on the for Mondays purchases, including Foals 'Holy Fire' and the as ever Depech Mode sounding 'Exile' by Hurts. To go even further into my varied music tastes, i hope my local HMV* still has a few copies of Monster & Men's 'My Head Is An Animal' too! *It seems Basingstoke is one of the few lucky stores of HMV to remain open!

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Currently a Percy Grainger collection. His arrangement of one of the most interesting sea shanties 'Shallow Brown' has done the ear worm thing as usual, and I will probably get curious looks for the next few days when I unconciously start singing the refrain: " shaaaaaallllllerrrrrrrrr, shaller brown".

Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Currently listening to the avuncular Brian Matthew, on R2's Sounds of the Sixties. A regular Saturday morning highlight. If you can't give me love - Suzi Quattro A much under-rated song and singer. Anyone remember her as Leather Tuscadero on Happy Days? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Just been on the tube of you, looking up some old faves, including: Windmills of Your Mind, by Noel Harrison (son of Rex) Gentle On My Mind - Dean Martin The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - Joan Baez Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are - Meat Loaf Everything Louder Than Everything Else - Meat Loaf and finally, my all-time favourite song, Chelsea Morning, by the wonderful Joni Mitchell. Whenever I'm feeling down or blue, I only have to listen to this beautiful piece of music and my spirits are instantly lifted. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted March 18, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2013 Realy enjoyed the BBC4 documantary on Dr Feelgood the other night.... An under-rated band in my opinion! Good, honest pub rock ... and some great songs like "Milk & Alcohol" and "Roxette" They were one of the few "acceptable to punks" bands that were around before punk, weren't they? Wilco Johnson could not have looked cooler. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Jake Bugg - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2DOYbZUMS8 Can't be many nineteen year olds who cite The Everley Brothers as a main influence! His album has a wonderful fifites and early sixties feel in places Not the only act with fifties influence either - My Dad, showing his age perhaps, likes them due to the influences! He's an Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran fan and even got to see Holly live! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc smith Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) They were one of the few "acceptable to punks" bands that were around before punk, weren't they? Wilco Johnson could not have looked cooler. Yes, along side bands like Eddie & The Hot Rods They played their own style of Rock n Roll / Blues - a bit more "punky" in style..... Yes, Wilko Johnson looked cool I always thought he was a bit odd, with his unusual stance & shuffle... But he came accross really well in the programme.... - worth seeking it out on iplayer Edited March 18, 2013 by marc smith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
