Post some tunes you really like. Share them.
Here's one...
A Forest - The Cure (live)
From Leonard Cohen I like 'the partizan'...
Is this familiar? To get an album because you like mainly one or two songs, and ending up liking more some odd song further on from that album.
Have you ever seen the videoclip of Rammstein 'Die Sonne
Imagine (Lennon)
life on mars (Bowie)
paranoid (Black Sabbath)
Is it me, or is the song 'paranoid' more a song about a mild depression... ?
At this time of year, how could I miss out a Christmas song, celebrating the day that retailers and commercial interests hold most dear!
A Christmas Carol - Tom Lehrer
Tom Lehrer was not very prolific, he only wrote about forty songs altogether, but some of them are absolute classics, including the above song which celebrates the true meaning of Christmas!

Martian Tom,
A bit flippant, but bear this in mind too for when there just aren't the words!
Mahnamanah - Muppets

Great songwriter!
A bit more of an upbeat tune, with a message I find congenial right now...
Moving on up - Primal Scream
Same here. You can keep mainstream stuff. I know that makes me start to sound like my dad - but there it is!
Orange Crush - REM
I like music that means something and usually has a good video associated with it or it's part of a film or tv program.
What I'm trying to say is that it's not just the music but the context and combination of music and imagery.
Such as the WHO and pinball wizard.
The glam rock from the 1970s with the costumes and very strong performances.
Music from Buffy the vampire slayer. Have whole DVD collection.
Old grey whistle test DVD with background commentary.
Tom Waits - Hell Broke Luce
John Cale - Hemingway
Bowie - Slip Away
Tin Machine - I can't read
Difficult to know where to start and ..... finish .....
I tend to like non-mainstream music. And it does depend on my mood, a lot of people think my music is all chosen from the album 'Songs to Commit Suicide By', but I don't see anything wrong with melancholy music. Some music brings me to tears with its sheer beauty.
But I will put these on for starters:
Gates of Dawn - Secret Garden
Dance me To the end of love - Leonard Cohen
Cantus Firmus to Counterpoint - Amazing Blondel
Hunting Song - Pentangle
Temptaysion - Mediaeval Baebes
The Amazing Blondel surprises many people - it shows how enlightened we student types were in the 1970's! The Mediaeval Baebes I really like, I could listen to them all day. Temptaysion is the Lords Prayer in Cornish, and I thnk it is better for that! The Leonard Cohen song is not what it appears to be on first hearing. It was written about the holocaust, and knowing that puts a whole new meaning on the song. Gates of Dawn by Secret Garden is just beautiful. Secret Garden are the best thing by far to have come from the Eurovision Song Contest.
If I was to dive into my music tomorrow I would choose something entirely different - but that is not to say I would have changed my mind. Different days, different songs!
Lots and depends on my mood.
Sound of Silence - Disturbed
Ace of Spades - Motorhead (acoustic version)
Kitty Litter - Placebo
Sorry. Bottle just emptied into my glass...
I’ll have what he’s having please
Sung, in my case, by Glen Livet...
Single malt...that’s all i’m Saying x! Lol
