lemming Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Re: The Last Word And Cardigans is very worthwhile in my opinion. I really like their remake of "Iron Man", but it does seem to upset some. (I like the original Sabbath version as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Re: The Last Word I'm fond of the Cardigans, as well. "Lovefool" still has an appealing sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Re: The Last Word Huh. Hadn't heard of them before, and AFAIK haven't heard any of their stuff. Sigh, may have to go slumming and try to snatch a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Re: The Last Word I am suspicious of MySpace bands. Nothing personal. Plus, I'm at work, and listening to stuff at work makes it obvious I'm not working. If I can hear it, so can everyone walking by my office.

Cancer Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Re: The Last Word This office has no audio output device, and the university office has approx zero privacy where sound is concerned ... one wall has a thin interior door bolted on both sides, which is just about perfectly transparent to sound. So I keep that machine muted at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Re: The Last Word Stuff I like that people have heard of.... Boston (which I admit has been overplayed) Early Deep Purple ... e.g. "Machine Head", "Fireball", ... Much of Pink Floyd's better-known works, "Wish You Were Here" probably I like most Asia, perhaps, was the last dying gasp from that era/genre. Of those, I've got the early Deep Purple, specializing in the Mark II line-up. Much prefer In Rock to Fireball or Machine Head. What singer-songwriters does you wife listen too? One of my favourites is a British folk-rock singer Sandy Denny. You'd probably know her from her duet with Plant on Led Zep's Battle of Evermore. Her 3 albums with Fairport Convention (What We Did on Our Holidays, Unhalfbricking, Liege & Lief) are particularly notable as it created the genre British folk-rock. Her singer-songwriter solo career is also brilliant, her voice angelic. Both Robert Plant and Pete Townshend has praised her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Re: The Last Word Historically, she's liked folks like Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Shawn Colvin, Indigo Girls, u.s.w.
