[Renton]

Essential albums, various genres:

[jyms]

I like tons of Incubus, but I think Drive is my favorite. I am surprised how many songs are theirs I know but did not know it was them.

Is there any site to just listen to most decent music without downloading. Typically I just listen to a couple radio stations from this area. I would rather just find a decent site that plays random genre types, kinda like the cable stations.

[bode]

there was a thread about Pandora recently, which i think is what youre looking for.

[jyms]

Yea been there.

Dear Pandora Visitor,

We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.

We believe that you are in Canada (your IP address appears to be xx.xxx.xxx.xxx). If you believe we have made a mistake, we apologize and ask that you please contact us at [email protected]

Just download I-Tunes and listen to the radio feeds.

Renton has (for the most part) excellent taste in music

More classic rock staples:

Floyd: Dark side LDO, but the few albums preceeding DS are also great. Meddle and obscured by clouds.

David Bowie: Yeah he's a little gay, but ziggy stardust is a fantastic album.

Supertramp: Also a little gay, but their early stuff (crime of the century) rocks. Bloody well right m8.

The who: Who's next

Zep 1-5 Obv

Pretty much every beatles record after help. Even magical mystery tour's got some cool tunes...

Jefferson airplane's surrealistic pillow if you're into hippy rock. (somebody to love + white rabbit)

Blue cheer's first two albums if you're into heavier drunken late 60's blues/psych/shred/rock wankerage.

Speaking of clapton / cream...his post-cream project 'blind faith' is decent, and quite possibly the last decent thing he did before turning gay. (derrick & the dominoes is arguably mid-way)

Neil young needs some representing in this thread as well. Everybody knows this is nowhere is one of my favorites. Zuma & tonight's the night are also good if you're bored of harvest / after the gold rush.

Yea I forgot about that. I have a couple stations on media player I used to listen too at work a couple years ago.

www.playlist.com is alright also

www.playlist.com is alright also

Gret find. just search other peoples playlists for something I like. Don't even need to sign up or make my own.

[Aces]

Good selections, Renton. I especially like the Gil Sc0tt-Heron, not one many know about. Ever heard the song H2o Gate Blues?

Unfortunate I can't really listen to Bosten anymore they overplayed it so much here.

I LOOOOVE the blues!

For those who like SRV and other blues rock, check out Too Slim & the Taildraggers. They have a couple live videos to watch (the first one is one my favorite of the two), though the audio quality isn't great.:

why is halv a little girl?

(4:49:16 PM) Renton: i went in and just straight up wrecked your thread
(5:17:17 PM) HalvSame: my music thread?
(5:17:21 PM) HalvSame: doooont
(5:21:01 PM) HalvSame: that was supposed to be HALVs thread, not everyones thread
(5:21:48 PM) Renton: oop
(5:21:52 PM) Renton: u should have made it a blog then
(5:22:09 PM) HalvSame: blog smog

Really though, I wanted it to not be an "essential listening" thread but a "recommend some music that you've recently discovered" thread. So posting your top 10 albums/band doesn't count. Posting that great song that you never really listened to before but suddenly just fell for, that counts.

Maybe not a huge difference, and it appears the thread was destined to turn into a general "this band is great" "no its not!" thread anyway. Probably my fault for not stating the premise of the thread anywhere but in the vague title

I'm surprised and disappointed that no-one said

Because he likes little boys.
