Funny. I'm reading the Chronicles of Narnia to my kids as their bed time story. So when its time to read I'm sing 'Nar, nar, narnia' to the tune of this. I had to play it for them after a week or so, so they got the reference, and now they are doing it too.

I've always had a soft spot for this song. Inane lyrics (unless you're the person who wrote them, I guess). The sweetness of a 12 string guitar and Stills' gritty voice is quite appealing. Spent my 15th-17th years in the southern hemisphere, so very familiar with the constellation. Damn, I think I agree with napa on something.

I did just discover it. It was unreleased until 1996 and my love of the era comes from my dad, so he didn't know about it. I knew the rest of the set, but this performance was never televised. I didn't see it until I saw reference on Twitter. I love everything about it, but Lennon's voice is just incredible on it.

Lucky. I never did.
I assume you liked Galaxie 500 also?
Sure, they were good. As for Luna - they simply played everywhere and as someone in my 20's - ended up at lots of their shows. Good band but I was not a super-fan or anything - they were just omni-present
Future Games by Fleetwood Mac. To me, the best album they ever did. Danny Kirwan was a genius. Too bad he led such a troubled life.

Bright Eyes - Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was
I call him The Brain: Lennie Tristano's first album, "Tristano." The song "Blue Mambo" has blown my mind for almost 40 years since I first heard it. And "Line Up", my, oh, my. One of the unrecognized geniuses of jazz. Another unrecognized great jazz to check out on piano is Herbie Nichols.
Technically not music but it is RUSH. My favourite band and how nice to see three great friends who were together forever. No real drama and having a great dinner with wine. Would not mine joining them at all. Miss Neil dearly.

The parties settled out of court.

If you ever get a chance there is a Soundstage recording from a 1975 concert with Tom Waits and Mose Allison that is worth watching. There is a so-so VHS recording on Youtube. Soundstage was produced by WTTW in Chicago. It had a lot of great artists perform over the years.

Good call on JEG Mendelssohn symphonies. He uses a smaller orchestra, more like what Mendelssohn would have actually been thinking. His pacing and nuance are excellent.

Not as good, but also interesting, from the same album, is Farandole, Arlesienne Suite No 2 by Bizet.

Given that it is his 80th birthday (see my Happy Birthday! post), Dylan all day long.
Jimi Hendrix "Up from the Skies", damn he was so great. Sorry boys, just like there'll never be a greater jazz sax player than Coltrane, there'll never be a greater rock guitar player than Hendrix. As pointed out in the astute "When Did Rock Die?" thread, it's a closed road. Listen to "Ain't No Telling", those Iron Maidens and Black Sabbaths of the world just can't touch Jimi. He's too deep.
Tom Morello > Hendrix
@billhike posted:Tom Morello > Hendrix
I'm sure there's a small percentage of people who agree with you. However, ask someone younger than us who Tom Morello is and they'll probably give you a blank stare. I don't think there's a question that a great many more people of all ages know who Jimi Hendrix is. Does that mean he's better? No, he is just more important in the history of electric guitar for a reason.
So are you contradicting your statement that there will never be a greater rock player? You seem to be changing your statement to more “important” or more well-known.

Nick Cave "The Boatman's Call". This is one of the greatest albums of all time. His way with words, his cynicism, humor, bluntness, whatever... I am a Dylan fanatic and have deep admiration for Leonard Cohen, but this Nick Cave album just blows me away.

Not sure about greatest of all time but it is superb. Part of what made it great was how different it was compared to his music prior to that. Kicking heroin and breaking up with PJ Harvey clearly influenced the music.
