Erm... it's variable
Ye thats the one keith

I agree Vertical Horizon are great, shame they never got further......
Also older Dashboard Confessional stuff is great before the full band punk/emo stuff he did.

They've very recently released a new album - "Go", which I've managed
to get a copy of and it's brilliant!

:rolmao: :rolmao: :rolmao: Magi kelly thats great -Iknow loads of ebay addicts to play it to.
For me all time best album in the world ever and defineltly on my desert island -
The Orb - Adventures beyond the Ultraworld

i've been listening to it for years and keep finding new levels too it.
The only album i have ever come across with the complexities of classical music, but the variety of modern instuments and sampling. Classic

Hi...

Simple question: what's your favourite song or piece of music? :wink: :biggthump
Mine has to be: "Journey to the Line" by Hans Zimmer.... :wink:

Such an innocent question, but simple far from it. I tend to find that my mood both determines what I listen to and changes as I listen.

Carl Orff, Shool work, Malaguena.
Samuel Barber, Adagio for strings (quite like the choral version as well, think it's called agnus dei).
J S Bach, Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor and the little fugue (Fugue in G Minor).
Beethoven, Ode to Joy (all of it).
Pink Floyd, Shine on You Crazy Diamond.
Marillion, The Great Cucumber Massacre (Garden Party).
Candy Dulfer, Lilly was Here.
Joss Stone, Fell in Love With A Boy.
Nina Simone, Feeling Fine.
Eric Clapton, Theme from Edge Of Darkness.
Dire Straits, Going Home (theme from Local Hero).
Steeleye Span, Fighting for Strangers.
Clannad, Theme From Harry's Game.
Men At Work, Overkill.
Radiohead, Street Spirit.
Fleetwood Mac, Albatross.
Simon & Garfunkel, The Sound Of Silence.
The Bangles, Be With You.
E.L.O, The Diary Of Horace Wimp.
Procol Harem, Whiter Shade Of Pale.

Unfortunately the list does not stop there, we haven't got into opera, punk rock, blues, Jazz (Jacques Loussier, Bach to the Future is well worth looking at) and the list goes on and on. :wave:

Nearly forgot these :doh:

Rodrigo, Concerto De Aranjuez.
Pachelbel, Canon.
Telemann, Canon.
Tracy Chapman, Talkin' bout a revolution.
Nirvana, Lithium.
Queen, Innuendo.
Del Shannon, Runaway
Everly Brothers, Runaround Sue and He Ain't Heavy.
Prince, Darling Nikky (from Purple Rain).
Genesis, Mama.
Phil Lynnot and Gary Moore, Parissienne Walkways.
Mike Oldfield, Part 1 of Tubular Bells (the original).
Def Leppard, Love Bites and Rock Of Ages.
Gabrielle, Out Of Reach.

So many, so many in all genres. But, I worked for a bit in a garage run by a London Cockney and my former best friend from Birmingham England ( he turned into a first rate crook.) The other mechanics were a burned out hippie pothead who looked like Wilford Brimley and a Mexican who both had radios simultaneously blaring accordian Tijuana Disco music and 60s Rock nonstop. I got fed up with this audio assault and one day disabled both instruments and set up a CD player. Doyly Carte's classic recording of H.M.S. Pinafore was followed by The Mikado, Yoemen of the Guard and The Pirates of Penzance. The two mechanics catterwailed like alley cats. David, the Cockney was delighted, thinking anybody who set up a tea mess with digestives and played Gilbert and Sullivan in California was o.k. In the Coast Guard I got fed up seeing the APOCALYPSE NOW scene with helicopters blaring Wagner's Ride of the Walkeries. So I set up a tape player and wired it into the loudhailer. Theres a lost tradition of initiating new crew with a ride in the 'Gloryhole' (a now lost cockpit in the extreme bow of older boats) through the heavy surf, much like the storm scene in Das Boot. The tapeplayer was removed after one initiate had nightmares about The Flying Dutchman and this maniac skippering some antique lifeboat with a sail. :shock:

Holst, The Planet Suite (especially Mars!)
:biggthump

Wow Me too :shock: How crazy is that ?? :yikes:

Although a modern song that always raises the hairs on my neck is Manowar 'Swords in the wind' Lyrics Below

I surrender my soul
Odin hear my call
One day I'll sit beside your throne
In Valhalla's great hall
Like so many before me
I'll die with honor and pride

The right of the warrior
Forever to fight by your side
Send a sign, raise the sail
Wave a last goodbye
Destiny is calling
Immortality be mine

Call the witch to cast the runes
Weave a magic spell
We who die in battle are born
Not for heaven, not for hell

[Bridge:]
We are sons of Odin
The fire we burn inside
Is the legacy of warrior kings
Who reign above in the sky

[Chorus:]
I will lead the charge
My sword into the wind
Sons of Odin fight
To die and live again
Viking ships cross the sea
In cold wind and rain
Sail into the black of night
Magic stars our guiding light

Today the blood of battle
Upon my weapons will never dry
Many I'll send into the ground
Laughing as they die

[Repeat bridge, chorus]

Place my body on a ship
And burn it on the sea
Let my spirit rise
Valkiries carry me
Take me to Valhalla
Where my brothers wait for me
Fires burn into the sky
My spirit will never die

[Repeat chorus to fade]
