jrt Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I think my taste in music runs a different direction, so I can't help you there. However, a very, very cheap place to legally download is allofmp3.com. It's some Russian outfit. I've been using it for a couple years now and had no problems. It can be slow occasionally.

mojohand Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Right now I'm listening to Liz Phair's new CD, "Somebody's Miracle." Fabulous! I've been a fan of hers ever since I lived in Chicago in the mid-'90s. Others I listen to a lot: Rory Gallagher The Nighthawks (http://www.thenighthawks.com Nils Lofgren http://www.nilslofgren.com Jimmy Thackery http://www.jimmythackery.com/ Anders Osborne Well, these are just a few. There is really so much good music out there...just not on mainstream radio. You can also try out http://www.paragon.com--you can set up your own 'stations' and they try to fit in music that's similar to what you start with. It's actually kinda cool.

You like Nils Lofgren look into Tom Waits. Similar style not voice tho.
guzziownr Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Here is a taper site that streams some nice background music for the garage: www.sugarmegs.org Here is a recent live recording of Richard Thompson that has 1952 Vincent, I like it better than the CD version. http://tela.sugarmegs.org/_asxtela/richard...n2005-08-05.asx I also liked the James Gang live from 200?, hard rocking!

mojohand Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Another radio station I like is Triple J from Syndey, Australia: http://202.6.74.107:8060/triplej.mp3 I like their humor, their iconoclastic style, and their mix of music that I'd normally not listen to.

You like Nils Lofgren look into Tom Waits. Similar style not voice tho. 73690[/snapback] Tom Waits is THE MAN. Some other stuff you might like- Londons Calling- The Clash Sweet Suburbia-The best of The Skids (or the albums Animation or The Absolute Game) Next, Framed,or The Impossible Dream by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band (a Glasgow outfit I used to follow in my youth,dunno if they're online or that) Arkansas Traveller-Michelle Shocked Fishermans Blues or Room To Roam-The Waterboys
DeBenGuzzi Posted January 8, 2006 Author Posted January 8, 2006 Just read your list again-Enya??????????????? 73711[/snapback] come'on she's one of the greatest song writers of our day. Not like I listen to her all the time but if I get into a gaelic mood I pop in some Enya or Celtic Woman. ITs not too often but its relaxing at least.
Guzzirider Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 My soon-to-be brother in law sometimes drinks in Enya's pub in Donegal. Guy

Frenchbob Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Ben, if you like Irish music, go to www.carasmusic.com - the guitarist is one of my best friends and I think they're really good.

We have many irish bars and an irish festival and you name it seems everyone wants to be irish these days. I love thier song about an orange sash. Or a song about being in the british army? hehe
v50man Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 F**k music. I find myself listening to talk radio exclusively for the last 7-8 years. When I did listen to music, classic David Bowie was always my fave... ...also, King Crimson (oddly enough, I preferred the latter-day Adrian Belew-led band)... Gary Numan, Utopia, Paul Weller, Gang of Four, Eno... I think that music only holds real meaning to young, feeble minds -- then we grow up and are corrupted by the realities of the daily grind. It's never really the same past your twenties... I will also submit that -- though I have made some $ off it -- hip hop is the final step in the decline of western civilization... Yours, the grumpy gimp Atlanta, GA sunny & 65 - grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
