I heard Autobahn back when it was new. Sorry, but it turned me right off.

Not bad, just not anywhere near my taste.

i have just spent a few minutes looking for the better version of the above song but it has been removed because of a violation on youtube-shame!

The unforgettable Clash:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jJVveiYmMU
My wife looked after Mick Jones when he had chickenpox pneumonia-she got a niced signed album off him.

Don't know about French punk but I have been listening to a lot of mid-nineties French Hip-Hop recently.

Dj Egan's playlist for the Subsim massive this week:

Afore mentioned French Hiphop stuff.

Dylan's soundtrack to Pat Garret and Billy the Kid.

Stravinsky - The Rites of Spring.

Both of the Gorrilaz albums

'I bet you look good on the dancefloor' by the Artic Monkeys. THE best song of the last two years even if they do shamelessly rip off a whole bunch of punk and hardcore bands I listened to back in the 80's.

And a pile of Pogues cd's as well.

I was going to go see them at new year (they play here every year at the Barralands.) but then I was going to go see Derrick May and then I just couldn't be bothered so I went to see my familly instead which worked out pretty well because my niece was born the day after I got up there. :up:

Is it possible to copy from you tube?

I have 2, Santana and The Style Council. I took the huff when TSC disbanded and haven't listened to Paul Weller since.
Santana have stood the test of time; I went to see them in the Royal Albert Hall 26 years ago ! They were in the UK 2005 at 2 venues, sadly didn't realise this until it was too late and tickets sold out immediately. Took a look on E-Bay and tickets where available for both [G-Max & Wembley] running at £150 and where they genuine ? Recommend Santana to everyone.

PS Also like Kraftwerk and like Steve, had the original 'Autobahn' also collected a few LP's .. Radioactivity, Exceller 8 etc. but haven't listened to them for a while.

PPS Simon & Garfunkel are magic too but could somebody tell me what caused the rift between Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel ?!

My favourite current album is Radioactivity (the original version), especially the Airwaves and Antenna tracks :D


Airwaves:

"Wenn wellen schwingen, ferne stimmen singen" (When airwaves swing, distant voices sing)

Antenna:

"I'm the antenna, catching vibration, you're the transmitter, give information!"

:rock: :rock:

I'm a big fan of Coldplay *ducks to avoid rocks thrown by Chris Martin haters*;) I genuinely think they are the best band out there right now, their stuff is really very good.:up:

I have a fairly... developed music taste - both 'vertically' and 'horizontally'. On the 'vertical' scale (in terms of weirdness/complexity/inacessability), I'm known as a fan of progressive and avant-garde music of various sorts and times. Names like Captain Beefheart and King Crimson should suggest something to those in the know :p

On the other hand I have a huge 'horizontal' range, I really listen to a huge variety of stuff from folk music to Russian punk to acoustic jazz to alternative pop to progressive metal. I'm as likely to be listening to Mahavishnu Orchestra as to Rage Against the Machine; as likely to Vienna Teng as to Opeth.

Of the stuff I found lately, my most favorite album of 2006 - and probably the most impressive and unusual thing I've heard in a while - is a Russian album by ZHELANNAYA+MALERIA called 77RUS. It takes traditional Russian folk songs from the Tver' region, sung by the excellent female vocalist Inna Zhelannaya, and uses them in an amazing musical arrangement which combines everything between progressive rock, folk, electronic ambient, jazz and hard industrial grunge - at the same time maintaining a mood that's equally somber and edgy.
Here's a sample from it from the artist's official website, even :hmm:

Otherwise, I can be a shameless afficionado for any sort of music - as long as it shows signs of taste and intelligence. My catalogue of favorite artists has been steadily building, in a way that's accellerating in the past few months. I'm always annoyed by people who say something like "music today is trash, blahblahblah" - there's just so much good stuff out there, I personally can't find nearly enough time to listen to even a substantial fraction of it.

I like stupid songs. :D

Mahavishnu!! :D!

Jan Hammer rules :rock: :rock: :rock:

The Doors
Pink Floyd
The Rolling Stones
Muddy Waters
Neil Young
Led Zeppelin
Bruce Springsteen

I think my favorite album of all time is Dark Side of the Moon. As a whole album goes, it just doesn't get much better then that!

My favorite band of all time would have to be The Doors. Just something about Morrison's intriguing lyrics mixed with John's killer drums, Ray's hypnotic keyboard, and Robby's bottle neck playin guitar! I have been playing their cds since I was extremely small. My dad was playing them even longer.

The Rolling Stones are my close 2nd favorite. I am sure I don't have to say much about them. They are true legends.

The rest I really like, but those three up there are my favorites.

Also like a bunch of other misc bands. If I am playing SHIII or flying IL2 I got my Glen Miller and Benny Goodman playing. :rock:

Seem to remember on the inside of the Album cover was a picture of the World with a huge transmitter on it or was it the front cover ?!

Show me your music!
 

I just wanted to see what I might be missing.

Let me see some off the wall stuff I probably haven't heard. If nothing else, some stuff I've heard but you like.

I'll start:

Gogol Bordello
