thebes Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Well if you walk the walk, and talk the talk, even trash from Texas can strut away with a bona-fide, 100% free Klipsch t-shirt. Congratulations are in order for Texas Ron this month's winner. PM or email me with your shipping info and it will be shipped to you by this weekend. Sorry Nick, your bad luck continues. Format's simple: Name of artist or group, name of album, type of music as best you can (rock, blues etc.), and recording format (cd, lp etc.) As usual I'll kick it off with: Grand Funk Railroad "We're An American Band", classic rock, lp. What's to say rollicking good rock from a gang of hippie funksters. Anybody who hasn't heard the title song has never listened to a radio. Still fun despite that and produced byTodd Rundgren. So what do you have to share this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 It's ok Marty, I'm a patient man... This week, I recommend: Deus "Pocket Revolution" - Progressive/Indie/Experiemental/Rock CD. With a name like "Deus," your music had better live up to the name. Thankfully, this group does. They've been around for quite some time now, and this album is easily their best. Not just because their musicianship, vocals, and song-structures have vastly matured and improved, but this album contains so many different genres, or "flavors" if you will, that it's impossible to pin down what type of rock song they'll be playing next. And believe you me, it's a good thing. Catchy, dreamy, epic, apocalypic, upbeat, stirring, and head-bobbing are all words that come to mind... This album is very accessible, for both young and old listeners, and I highly suggest anyone with an open mind and $15 to spare give it a try.

grog Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Ace Of Base - Cruel Summer Type: The Beat - Dance Hits Audio CD (July 14, 1998) 01. Cruel Summer 02. Donnie 03. Whenever You're Near Me 04. Everytime It Rains 05. Adventures In Paradise 06. Don't Go Away 07. Cecilia 08. He Decides 09. Always Have, Always Will 10. Tokyo Girl 11. Travel To Romantis 12. Cruel Summer (Blazin' Rhythm Remix) Official website http://www.aceofbase.com/ Ace Of Base is something as uncomplicated as a pop band, that doesnt try to be, appears to be anything else than that. They want to make their listeners feel good when hearing their music. They dont have any heavy messages, even if the songs obviously have become better crafted and substantial over the years. Simplicity isnt easy. The fact that Ace of Base has sold over 30 million albums and 15 million singles proves that they know what theyre doing. Ace Of Base is one of the worlds biggest bands, one of those rare bands whose name is a well-known brand wherever in the world you go. Their fans, so called Acers, also show a passionate interest in the band. Every year, some of them flew in to Gothenburg from all over the world to get together, share views and opinions on the band, check out the studios where the band has recorded and walk the streets where Ace Of Base grew up. Greg's Picks: Cruel Summer, Tokyo Girl Both super hits with a strong rhythm and dance beat that is hard to forget. Other Ace-Of-Base CD's worth a spin: "The Bridge" and "The Sign".

nicholtl Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Grog, I'm astounded you mentioned Ace of Base! I haven't heard that name since the early 90's, when I was in junior-school to early high-school! Their music is certainly catchy, and for a Swedish group that cannot speak English, well, they certainly had me fooled! A huge phenomenon in their day, they were hailed as the next Abba. I'm not sure if their fame ever quite reached that level, however. "The Sign" was the song that I remember best from them. That song is like, the soundtrack to my being 12 years-old. Talk about memory lane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Just to mix it up a bit, I have a jazz recommendation this time.[] Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery, "The Dynamic Duo" This is a KILLER Verve album from 1966 that I believe you can find on CD. I played the LP last night and was blown away as always. Opens with a version of "Down By The Riverside" that I guarantee is like no other you've heard.

sputnik Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Paul Simon - Graceland I picked up a pristine LP of Graceland at the local library book sale yesterday. I knew it was a popular album when it came out in 1986 but I never paid much attention to it - I figured it was just another pop record and never bothered to give it a listen. It was nice discovery for me to finally listen to it last night. I guess I finally caught up to the rest of the world and now I know how great this album is.

grog Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Cher - Believe - CD Still her greatest work to date. 01 Believe 02 The Power 03 Runaway 04 All or Nothing 05 Strong Enough 06 Dov'é l'Amore 07 Takin' Back My Heart 08 Taxi Taxi 09 Love Is the Groove 10 We All Sleep Alone While the song Believe is well known many of the other songs on this CD show the depth Cher. Dov'é l'Amore has a spanish influence with great acoustic guitar. Yes this CD is distictively Cher but at her best. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
