Music recommendations

[Boba Fett]

Muse is definetely up there with me. I saw them perform here in Atlanta a few months ago and they were amazing!!

 

[Batty]

Right now I have the latest from Beck and Thom Yorke in heavy rotation. Both are great.

The Aviator soundtrack gets alot of play too. Love soundtracks

.... and I LOVE the new Tom Waits

I'm a big soundtrack fan too... I have over 300 in my collection. Lately I've been listening to Jerry Goldsmith's score to Alien.

As far as Tom Waits new one- I'm not allowed to buy it. I was told that Christmas is coming! I can't wait (no pun intended!). I've been listening to his older CDs to get ready.

I would also highly reccomend this hidden treasure you can't buy anywhere (unless you'd rather spend your PF money on an out of print CDor record). Don't judge it till you hear it.

Why Pacific Ocean Blue is out of print is beyond me!

I will tell you this (while Raindogs Dogs and Alice are my two favorites) Orphans really expands on everything I like about TW in all of his various phases and also contains the most humorous stuff I have ever heard from him. A great album and definately worth the wait!

Why Pacific Ocean Blue is out of print is beyond me!

I KNOW!!! I can't believe it either. It is hands down (for me) better than anything the BB's did post Pet Sounds and better than most everything in the 70's period! All this and it sounds nothing like the BBs.

Hmmm well my tastes are across the board. I'll listen to almost every music genre except country, most rap and R&B. Lately I've been listening to a lot of...

My Chemical Romance
Radiohead
Muse (LOVE THEM!!)
Snow Patrol
Evanessence
October Blue
Various broadway showtunes
Various movie soundtracks
Various Classical (mostly Vivaldi at the moment)
Three Days Grace
Hurt
Flyleaf
NIN

Couldn't agree more! THE best live act goimg at the moment - saw them not 2 weeks ago (17th) and was lucky enough to win tickets for their Empire Strikes Back Supermassive Free Gig earlier in the year... which was nice

They

for those who loves MUSE.....you need to check out RASMUS as well. They are good. My wife is German so she introduced me to "good" music

I feel so out of loop! I hardly know any of the bands/singers mentioned here!

This is really why I wanted to have this thread. Hopefully you'll hear about a band or singer, and give them a listen.

Today I recommend Broken Social Scene. https://www.arts-crafts.ca/bss/

My brothers were all in bands of various types of music. They were heavily involved in the local punk scene (which if you have seen the movie SLC Punk, you would know what I am talking about).

Dude!! I love that movie... and no one I know has ever seen it... Great flick.. everyone with a set of eyes and a love of Punk should watch it.

I love the scene where the car is floating. It's bouyant. I need to watch that movie again. I haven't seen it since it was in theatres.

Since summer I have seen
NIN twice
Panic at the Disco (and agian next week)
She Wants Revenge
Killers
My Chemical Romance
AFI
Beck
also seeing NOFX in Jan.
And this has been a slow period.

Wow! Awesome. Reminds me of the halcyon days of my youth. Now I'm too old for concerts. Hard to crowd surf with a walker. And the music's too darn loud.

Great bands, BTW.

Me too! The only concert I went to this summer was the Flaming Lips and Sonic Youth.

But back in the day I saw The Stones, The Who, U2, Pink Floyd, The Police, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bowie, GNR, Neil Young, The Cure, Paul McCartney, Van Halen (with Diamond Dave), The Ramones, Oasis, Dylan and on and on.

My main problem with concerts today is ticket prices. There are very few people now that I'd be willing to pay outrageous prices to see. In 1981 I think Stones tickets were only $17! Man, I sound old!

HIM

Placebo

Did you know its a true story (for the most part)? The guy who drove Steve-O et al to Wyoming was my buddy's older brother in real life.

By the way Steve-O was based on real life Steve Egerton from The Descendents.

Ah those were the days when to be a punk rock skater kid REALLY meant something.

I don't pay high prices for concerts for the most part, most of those were in the $20-30 range, the only expensive one was NIN that was like $50. The best part is most are in small places too. Yeah some are really bad. I know my roommate bought Stones tickets for her Dads Bday and it was like $400 for two lower section tickets.

Yeah, I don't mind paying under $75 for tickets... It's just a shame most big name acts charge way more than that for good seats. That's why I'm glad I was able to see so many of them in the 80's and early 90's. I think when I saw the Stones on the Steel Wheels tour in 1989 tickets were $35. And those were for 16th row floor seats.

But that might be the Stones last tour . Seems like people think that every year then what do you know they do another. Is almost as bad as Kiss, who keeps saying its there last only to do another.

I don't think anyone should be allowed to have a "Farewell Tour"!

I've seen the Stones 3 times, and if money was no object, I think I would see them again. They might be old, but they still sound pretty damn good.




I've never seen Kiss, btw.
