sirdle Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 The only people that I even heard on your list is Bob Marley (who hasnt heard of him), and Louis Armstrong. What is "celtic": music exactly? never heard of it before, but willing and happy to learn and give it a try! How come nobody shares my taste in music on these boards. I feel like I am from another planet!!Well, I did try to pick lesser known artists. I loved the music from the 80s (including a bunch of the songs on your list), but I try to support the little guys whenever I can. They have such a hard time selling their stuff and they are often fighting with their publishers, distributors, and promoters. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Blimp, and Darrly Purpose are all local bands with several CDs each. Darryl Purpose is the cousin of a good friend of mine. He was a professional gambler for many years (blackjack) and was banned from most of the casinos in the US. So he headed overseas to Sri Lanka and other places. He walked in The Great Peace March across America, then across the Soviet Union... That was when he started turning his talents to music. His style is Folk and his gift is for turning a phrase. Steve Forbert's first album came out in 1978. He had 3 hit records in a few years, then got into a royalty dispute with his record company and spent the next 20 years not putting a single piece of music on paper, so it couldn't be stolen from him. The dispute has been settled and he is back performing again, but his music tends to be a little more cynical than it was... who can blame him? The Celts lived across northwestern Europe before they were overrun by those barbarians from the south known as Romans. Each celtic tribe had its own music and dance and culture. There are 7 celtic cultures that struggle to survive. These can be found in Ireland, Wales, Scotland, the Isle of Manx (between England and Ireland), Brittany (in France), and Alicia (in Spain)... I know that's only 6 but I can't remember the 7th. (Did you like the movie Braveheart?) The Great Big Sea mixes traditional celtic music with the energy of rock and roll to produce a live band that is hard to beat. (My wife is flying to Minnesota so she can see them play at the Minnesota State Fair in a few weeks.) Beausoleil is big down in Louisiana on the Cajun/Zydeco music scene. (Did you like the movie The Big Easy?) Much of this music can be sampled online. Darryl Purpose: http://www.darrylpurpose.com/ Check out "Victory in the Struggle", "I Will Run" (these should appeal to the activist in you), "Christmas in the Trenches", "Late for Dinner", "Halfway Home", and "Mr. Schwinn". Steve Forbert: http://www.steveforbert.com/ Check out "Romeo's Tune", "Schoolgirl", and "Born to Late". Blimp: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/7/blimpus_music.htm Check out "Monsters", and "Market". Great Big Sea: http://www.greatbigsea.com/ Check out "When I am King", and "The Night Pat Murphy Died". Road Rage is by far their best CD. The energy and audience participation are super! Big Bad Voodoo Daddy: http://www.bbvd.com/av/index.htm Check out "I Wanna Be Like You", "I'm Not Sleeping", and "Ol MacDonald" (a tribute to Frank Sinatra). Enjoy!

michaelhobson Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 My room is a mess, I can't get dressed, gotta be out by 8o'clock... Oops, wrong song. Thanks for the lyrics Will, brings back memories. Did you ever see the video for No More? It's a little older than early 90's though, probably around "88". If anybody wants a free listen to the Gorilla Biscuits, you can listen on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000000TAL/qid=1122567942/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl15/102-0645748-4558569?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sknydpr Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 hey Dan, looks like we share a similar taste in movies, actresses and songs! Yeah, I was noticing that. I'm old; what's you're excuse? Actually, I think it's just proof of the quality of some of those bands. I got my ex-fiancée into AC/DC, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, and Tom Waits, and she's not even as old as you are. How'd I forget any Pink Floyd?! I can't pick any particular favorite songs, Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall would be my favorite albums by them.

I never got to see it! I remember, back in the day, going to school one day and one of my friends told me he saw the video on MTV at 2 in the morning the night before, and it had slaughterhouse scenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Right now I think my favorite or most played songs are: Tearing, Inhale Exhale, All I want, Disconnect by Rollins Band. All Out War by Earth Crisis. Hand of Doom by Black Sabbath. Life of Pain by Black Flag. Omerta by Lamb of God. Resurrection by Fear Factory. Salad Days by Minor Threat. Films:Red Dawn, Quills, Dawn of the Dead, Oldboy, Alex Jones documentaries, Michael Moore stuff, Star Wars Episode III, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Boondock Saints, Taxi Driver. Propaghandi is a great band I like Rollins solo stuff too, especially End of Silence; but I thought Black Flag was better before he joined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Awesome lyrics! Thanks Will. how is the weather in florida these days? Are you kidding about the weather? It's almost always really hot and humid here!!! Except, sometimes we get lucky and get a hurricane, which I like because the weather cools down a lot due to the wind and rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeB Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Will, I like all of the Black Flag stuff, but I think Rollins brought more meaning to the songs once he came on. He took Black Flag beyond just being wasted punks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate, but the original band was in fact Lynard Skynard. The leftover guys that tour now go by Lynyrd Skynyrd, they can't use the original name because the record company owns it. Ah, who cares!
