The Good Music Thread
 

Just for fun.... post here your favourite music vids / tracks. However, lets make a rule that you cannot post unless you make a critical comment about one of the previous entries, otherwise it just gets to be a long boring string of YouTube clips.

Starting off (don't forget, before you can post, you have to review one of the above!):

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

I'll play .........

Regarding Adele, certainly not my taste in music and tbh I couldn't stand hearing this song - total overkill - coupled with the fact that when she became well known, all you heard on the radio was "isn't it great that people with a fuller figure are getting exposure."

No, no it isn't - if you can sing you can sing - what the hell does it matter if you're fat or not. That really used to piss me off.

Then I saw her interviewed on Jonathon Ross and changed my opinion of her personally (I find her very funny), but her music :thumbdown: no thanks.

Ok here's my pick

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

right now thats pissing me off, how do you put your little video clip in your post :frown:

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Clicky on the little movie reel icon, 15th from the left. That produces a pop up box where you copy the link to your you tube video into. Job's a good 'un.

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Regarding Adele - Rolling in the deep.

Nice song, sung with a powerful voice but shamefully let down by an amateurish video. Whoever edited that sequence together was really struggling to put Adele in a good light, and you can really tell. Zoom in, zoom out, pan, insert clip of dancer in the dust. Glasses of water? I had no idea what the song was about but if the there was a story to be told then, the video missed this opportunity. A fragmented, wasted opportunity.

Here's a WTF? video to contrast with:

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Well, that was mildly disturbing, lol. Pretty good video all the same.

Here's my choice. I never get tired of listening to this:

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

I can't open these videos on this stupid iPad :blink: - is it something to do with Flash? iPad's are useless!

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

I fail to see the wtf'ness about that.

Anyway, classic DM

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Adele's song is so great that, for me, the video is irrelevant.

Some good music from 2012...

Couldn't understand AtlanticExpat's instruction? What little movie reel?

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

I believe I would like Adele if I had access to British radio, but she gets way too much airplay over here for me to be able to control my rage each time her songs, Pink's and Lady Gaga's rotate.

I like this one:



I like this version of it too:

When you are posting a reply, it is one of the icons just below the redo button above where you type your text.

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Second try at inserting a video.

Some vintage Canadian rock this time !

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Good carefree days in 80's England

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Haa brilliant C74. Like the Cockney Rejects.

Now back to your revision son!

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Some good stuff in there.... the thread will be more interesting though if you comment on the video immediately preceding your offering.... as I'm not posting another yet, I don't have to, but if I was I should have made a comment about Canuck74's entry, "The Ejected". Londonuck did, but didn't post another entry.... so, that can now be left to the next poster....

It's not that clear, is it???

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Prydein's Loud Pipes (save lives): Bagpipe Rock



or anything by Jack White

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Influenced by the Clash but able to make White Riot sound like a slow dance :ohmy:

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Oh, I like that Jack White... never heard of him before.

Clash... classic track!

Here's another:

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Jack White of The White Stripes.

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

I think the White Stripes are a bit too stripey.

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Gordon is a moron, remember that well, knew a Gordon at the time too.



I heard Taddy Porter on a Texas radio while making my way to a job in New Mexico a few years back, good new band.

ab=nd if your going to show White Stripes (Jack White) then you can't miss out this

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

And one back from my youth

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Fleetwood Mac Dreams. Fantastic. FM and Stevie were in their prime in that video.

I also did not know Jack White until recently, but he keeps company with the gods, so must be quite good...

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

The only possible response to that clip is this one.

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

LEGEND! all of them, lol

Turning into a great thread, well done.

Ok, here's one I got hooked on when I bought "The Sopranos" soundtrack..

I just wish it went on for a bit longer, seems like half a song

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Not a big Springsteen fan actually, what I was hoping for was the opening theme (woke up this mornin). Oh well, in keeping with the current theme, (artists named Bruce), I shall attempt to upload a piece by Bruce Daigrepont in the original French. Novocastrian, would behaviour like this indicate it's in southern France?:)

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

they work on my ipad and iphone.....u prolly don't have youtube installed!!

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

I heard Alain Stivell on the radio one morning recently. "Poor Novo" I thought, that'll be the band in his local.


(Well, first I thought "**** John Peel, he hyped some awful crap on to the wireless" but I banished that thought as being politically incorrect.)

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

I had forgotten about The Boss; I don't quite know how.

This has to be my favourite track of his. It goes on a bit, but I believe it is pure gold. I don't usually like it when artists tell stories but this one is great.

I hope you enjoy it:

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Brilliant song from The Boss. Buying that live album now!

Here's a very mellow but beautiful track from (ahem, cough, cough) Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits)...

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

If you liked Jack White and/or White Stripes, you may like these.

The Black Keys


Yeah Yeah Yeahs


Sons and Daughters


Kasabian

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

I have had that album for sometime. It is fantastic.

Here's another from it:



I like that one from Knopfler. Mr. Knopfler supported IIRC Dylan in Calgary recently. Dylan was slated, Knopfler was praised. I enjoyed his time with the Notting Hillbillies. Missing ... Presumed Innocent is great. Here's a flavour:

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

I have to remember not to think of Dumb & Dumber every time I hear this. Great song though:

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

I booked Crash Test Dummies to play our club in the '80s and they stood me up. They sent the standard cassette tape with 2 or 3 songs, (the Superman Song was 1 and I think Mmmmm Mmmmm was there too), I phoned Winnipeg and made the deal for them to play for the $300 or whatever it was and then all of a sudden they got famous and the Winnipeg Folk Fest offered them more money for the same weekend so they dumped us. The way I look at it they owe us one.

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Bastards:thumbdown:

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Went to see the "Dummies" live at a small venue before the were famous and have to admit that I can't stand that guys voice. Some of the gang at the gig liked it though.

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

His singing voice or how he speaks?

I really like Steve Earle. There are lots of great songs that he has written.

Here are a few I like:









One about events in Ontario:

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Another good intro from the Boss, though on the song, would have to go with the Frankie Goes to Hollywood version (seriously).

My fave Notting Hillbillies song. As usual MK turns down his amp just as his guitar bit is getting sweet! Long time since I's seen the video though.

Steve Earle, cool, only heard the name before, but like these songs too. Thanks.

Ain't You Tube great for music !

Re: The Good Music Thread
 

Steve Earle is a lot more "rockie" live. On albums, he comes across a bit too "country" but his lyrics are very good. His life is a good read too.

Time for a bit of Britpop me thinks
