thebes Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Whoa man, summer's here with a vengance-"sidewalks hotter than a matchhead" if you get my drift. Not pushing a theme here, try to avoid that in this partcular thread but the heatwave got me to thinking about summer tunes. The format's simple, name of artist/group, name of album, type of music (cd/lp etc.), and genre, rock classical, jazz etc. as best you can. As usual I'll start it off with: The Boss, Born to Run, cd, rock and definetly roll Born to Run and summer for me seem to go hand-in-hand, urban cruising, the Jersey Shore, teen hormones, it's got it all. Great songs, great beat and the Boss at his prime. People complain that all of Springstein's stuff is badly recorded, but I tell ya true, it's all right with me. So what do you have to share.

nicholtl Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Tool's "Undertow" - hardrock CD. Considered the "OK Computer" of Tool's catalogue. Unfortunately, being a 1992 release, the sound quality leaves something to be desired. The epitome of the harsh, edgy CD glare, in fact. As far as musical content, however, it's jam-packed. Beware! The liner notes contain full-frontal MALE nudity. And sideview nudity of a VERY obese woman. And a dead pig impaled by a dozen forks.

grog Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Kraftwerk, Trans-Europe Express, Electro, CD/LP While I have liked Kraftwerk since I picked up the Autobahn LP when it came out in 1974. Autobahn is still one of my all time favorite songs my Kraftwerk, all 22 minutes of it! So why did I pick Trans-Europe Express? Because I like the sone "Hall of Mirrors" even better. The audio CD was remastered on September 26, 1995 and it does sound good! If you have never heard of Kraftwerk then visit their site. www.kraftwerk.com Boing Boom Tschak Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Assemblage 23 "Failure", Industrial rock CD. Released in 2001 this CD is fantastic. The synth work in some places is really excellent but good everywhere. Some of the synth work sounds like VNV Nation's "middle" albums. The vocals are typical treated industrial sounds but the lyrics are actually clever and sound like Covenant in some places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wangdang Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 John Hiatt, "Master of Disaster" CD/SACD -- acoustic folk, pop, blues, country -- heck, it's a bunch of Hiatt songs. Like his former partner Ry cooder, it's hard to pinpoint his style. But the lyrics are great, so is the music, and a bonus here is that this is a multi-channel SACD masquerading as a CD. Yep -- I found it in the CD section at BB with no SACD notation other than some fine print on the back, and sure enough, it plays analog 6-channel, too.

travisc Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 "Tori Amos's seventh album, Scarlet's Walk, was released in October of 2002.

Never heard of assemblage 23 though so I'll have to go check em out. I have to officially recommend the Godsmack dvd, "Changes." It's recorded in dts was mixed exceptionally well and the musicianship is wild. I don't know anything about godsmack other than its hard rock and I need more of it.

lovedrummin Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I've gone retro plus current this week. Linda Ronstadt: "Get Closer" - CD - Classic Rock ('80s) I'm a die hard Ronstadt fan. There's a cross section of styles on this CD. Favorite track: "I Think It's Gonna Work Out Fine". It's a great duet with Jame Taylor. Greg Kihn: "Kihnsolidation - The Best of Greg Kihn" - CD - Classic Rock About half of this music holds up well. Favorite track: "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write Em'). The Click Five: "The Click Five EP" - CD - New School Power Pop This band has a debut album "Greetings From Imrie House" coming out the middle of August. Love to see them in concert but unfortunately they're opening for The Backstreet Boys and can't tolerate them. Guess I'll have to wait until they're a headliner. Favorite track: "Angel To You (Devil To Me)". This was co-written by Paul Stanley of KISS and the guitar solo is from Elliot Easton of The Cars. Duran Duran: "Astronaut" - DualDisc - Rock I listened to this in 5.1. I enjoyed this better than the stuff they did when they were popular. They've still got the chops. Favorite track: "What Happens Tomorrow" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
