Midnight Oil "Scream in Blue" (Live). Just an amazing band with one of the greatest guitarists (Jim Moginie) you've never heard of. The live version of "Dream World" is epic.

Elvis Costello....

Fiona Apple

Elton John (the early/good stuff -- "Tiny Dancer", "Levon", "Honky Cat", "Rocketman")

early stuff was only great stuff.

My now wife and I saw him in high school. He walked out in a t-shirt, jeans, sat at the piano and let it rip.

I still remember that night even though you were not born.

The Wind in the Willows (Book on CD)

quote:

My now wife and I saw him in high school

You married your high school girlfriend?!

That is quite romantic, imo.

It really is a shame what happened to him, imo. I mean, when he started out... some of those songs are true classics and deserve mention along side songs by the Beatles and Stones ("Tiny Dancer") but even by the late seventies, he just wasn't doing that anymore.

Guilty as charged.

Our dating anniversary is this month.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is his finest work, imo.

He's made some good albums (including the ones you guys listed) but his 1970 album, "Elton John," which I believe was the first one released in the US, is still my favorite.

WOW! There's a blast from the past!

Fleet Foxes- Fleet Foxes

It's a great album. It's the folk version of Radiohead.

No. Is it any good?

I heard somewhere that the song wasn't originally called Badge but that Harrison saw the word upside down and thought it ws 'Badge' and that Clapton liked that name better... or something along those lines...

“Frank & Friends” mix on my IPod. Frank, Dino, Etta, Ella, Diana Krall, Jamie Cullum, etc.

Well, the one time I had it while listening to the song it was pretty good.

I would put it in the Melville, Brewer- Clifton and Curran style, but just a touch lighter.

Mark Lanegan- Bubblegum CD....

Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell....

Pat Metheny Group - Travels

Such a great compilation of the group live... superb musicianship. I've run out of superlatives for the live version of "Are You Going With Me?" Every time I hear it I am blown away.

By the way, nice call on the Marshall Crenshaw album the other day, Dom'n'Vin'sDad... I have so many good memories associated with that album

Merle Haggard

I saw Merle Haggard a couple of years ago when he opened for Bob Dylan's tour. He was incredible! "Mama Cried" was spine-tingling.

But, what I'm listening to at the moment is the silky jazzy voice of Tierney Sutton.

I've been into anything by Boards of Canada lately. Just great music to have a bottle of wine with.
