thebes Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Put your hands together for Sunburn Willie, this month's winner of a brand new Klipsch t-shirt. Congrats Willie! PM or email me with your shipping info. Just got back from the holiday so I'm late again, but there's still plenty of week left to share some music. 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: Jefferson Starship, "Red Octopus, lp, rock As you can tell I've been put forht a lot of 60's rock lately. That's been because I've been working my way through a stack of recently acquired rock lps from that era, and pulling out a few gems along the way to share. Great stuff, vocals by Gracie Slick, a true sound of the era, nice vocals and harmonies, a tight band with wailing guitars and a country sensibility. Won't shatter your ears, it's not slam rock, but it's still pretty damn good stuff. So what do you have to share this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEXASRONANDTRISH Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Porcupine Tree - Deadwing Music to bring you to tears, and music to pilage by. Progressive rock if I must label them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Great recommendation! There was a long thread on Porcupine Tree on the old forum, started by Scooterdog, where we were all saying how awesome they were. And yes, they are pretty much considered prog. rock, although I've seen them reviewed on some sites devoted to Metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Dude it's harder to win this t-shirt contest than the New York state lottery! The pretty things- S.F. Sorrow Cd the original concept album that spawned the Who's tommy. [] While were on Porcupine Tree buy the DTS surround dvd of "in Absentia". The visuals may be to disturbing for some. Awesome surround let alone the music! I honestly didn't like this one as much, but it's really growing on me. BIGTIME! There are even a few videos to check out. DTS music dvd's are phenominal. They work on a regular dvd player too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are much more talented than your average heavy metal band, like AC/DC for instance. How these guys have survived, so to speak, for so long is beyond me. PT can PLAY. Each cd seems to get better. Try Blackfield if you like PT. The lead singers side project. Lazurus off Deadwing can bring me to tears. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASRONANDTRISH Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 By the way, Love The Pretty Things. Haven't listened to them in a lloonngg time. thanks, time to dig out the LP's Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grog Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Chris Isaak - Wicked Game [iMPORT], CD Audio CD (June 30, 1998) Label: Wea International Track Listings 1. Wicked Game 2. You Owe Me Some Kind of Love 3. Blue Spanish Sky 4. Heart Shaped World 5. Heart Full of Soul 6. Funeral in the Rain 7. Blue Hotel 8. Dancin' 9. Nothing's Changed 10. Voodoo 11. Lie to Me 12. Wicked Game [instrumental] For those who missed it Chris Isaak was on PBS Soundstage last week and I must say the performance was awesome. I would have recommended the PBS Soundstage performance but you really can't buy it yet and I don't see any air dates coming up. Still if you see it in your local PBS listings give it a watch. I did record it and it is one of the perfomances that makes me glad I have an HDTV setup. Chris Isaak on stage in 720P looks very good! . Chris Isaak still has the power in his voice and made the PBS special a must see performace. After seeing the Chris Isaak PBS performace how could I pick anything else for this week other than a Chris Isaak with "Wicked Game" on it!

I saw these guys last June and they were just awesome. I am flying to SF on Oct 21 to see them again. I have the DVD Audio disc of both In Absentia and Deadwing. Both are just awesome so go out and buy them. scooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theryugobuddy Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Welcome TRon&T--- Great to see a Gabriel Genesis fan! Which brings me to my recommendation-- I bought the Archive box of Genesis 1967 to 1974 a few years ago and still listen to it alot. An entire 2 CDs worth of "Lamb" live and 2 more of great quaint early stuff and rocking live versions of "Supper's Ready" and others-- Probably even have had it in the recommendations thread before-- its just great melodic, prog rock ---long before "Sussudio"--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKlipsch Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Chicken Shack - Webbs Blues. Try this one out Stan Webb does a great version of "I'd Rather Go Blind". Allmost as good as Etta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most have never heard "Suppers Ready", a great tune. The Archive box set is fantastic. Scooterdog, have you hard Lightbulb Sun by PT? If not GO GET, IT!! Sure wish they'd get close to DFW, I'd be there. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOTERDOG Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Ron, I just ordered this a few days ago. I should have it by Friday. Here is a link to a full PT concert video. Enjoy! http://www.studiomlive.com/webcasts.html Just click on the PT concert and you can stream it. I also have it saved since I found some software that allows you to save streaming media[] Scooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 We're A Happy Family - A Tribute To The Ramones CD , " Just checked this sucker out from the local library ! " Red Hot Chili Peppers , Rob Zombie , Eddie Vedder , Metallica , U2 , Kiss , Marlyn Manson , Garbage , Green Day , The Pretenders , Rancid , Pete Yorn , The Offspring , Rooney , Tom Waits - Very Cool . I'm not usually a fan of the tribute CD's , but when I picked this thing up and saw the diversity of the bands , I was currious . It's a Keeper ! I'm a huge Ramones fan and I think that most of you that feel likewise will dig it ! PS - I was going to do a list with all the tracks and artists but I couldn't get it to work . I'm somewhat of a computer cave man . Guess I should have taken some computer classes in school , uh , actualy we didn't have computer classes when I was in school . SC wouldn't ya know . [] Thanx Thebes ! This just goes to show ya , Anybody Can Win ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Scooter, what are your thoughts on Dream Theater, Nightwish, Hammerfall, Rhapsody, Muse, Avenged Sevenfold, Shadows Fall, maybe even Theater of Tragedy? I only ask because all of the above groups have some crossover similatities (though none are exactly like) to PT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASRONANDTRISH Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I know you didn't ask me but.... First let me say I like Dream Theater..a lot, but they're no PT. I like most of the groups you mention but they're, IMHO, a bit harder than PT and they're missing something that frankly most other bands are too. I can't put my finger on it, but its there. Early Genesis and Marillion had it. Speaking of Dream Theater, do you have the official bootleg series? The live covers of Iron Maiden really rock. Scooter, thanks for the link. MADE my morning. I'm just getting into concert videos. Now I have to go buy a few. Darn the luck[] Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Buddy Guy "Blues Singer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOTERDOG Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I also like like DT alot, enough to go see them twice. But I prefer PT much more. Steve Wilson has a much better voice then La Brea and he play with much more emotion then Pettrucci. Pettrucci is one of the best Technical guitarist I have heard but does not stir the emotion like Steve Wilson does. In fact the only other guitarist that creates that same emotion for me is David Gilmour of PF. On a different note if you like Prog and you lean a little more to the prog metal then you should give Riverside a listen. http://www.riverside.art.pl/index.php These guys are just awesome and hale out of Poland. Another great band is Evergrey http://www.evergrey.net/ Check these two out. scooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASRONANDTRISH Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I like Evergrey, don't know Riverside, I'll give them a try. I also enjoy Queensryche quite a bit, Operation Mindcrime is a classic. I also agree TOTALY with the Steve Wilson-David Gilmore comparison. I'll also throw Steve Hackett in there as well. Scooter, your CD's are going in the mail Monday, hope you enjoy them. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
