The Bottom Line (or at least until I find more great music)
It figures that music is what gets me out of my self-imposed exile. I love the idea of Jaguardog’s Write-off so here’s my eclectic list: A Arden, Jann – “Gasoline” B Beatles – just about everything EVER (It helped having a Beatle freak for a roommate) Brooke, Jonatha - “Linger”, “Inconsolable” (lots more) I think my introduction to her was by sarah_knipper C Crenshaw, Marshall - “Whenever You’re on My Mind” Counting Crows - Raining in Baltimore“” (early stuff) Costello, Elvis - “Radio Radio”, “Everyday I Write the Book”, “Watching the Detectives” Colvin, Shawn - “Sunny Came Home” Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - “Helpless” D Drake, Nick “Pink Moon”, “Which Will” (thanks for turning me onto him, horswispr) E Eagles – the whole Hotel California album is a masterpiece (after all, it contributed to my entry into a blissful write-off lo those many years ago) Hotel California Review F Fogelberg, Dan –(this one is kind of embarrassing, but I swear I liked him way before he did “Longer”) I much preferred “Be on your Way” G Griffin, Patty -“Rain”, “Nobody’s Crying ”, “Living with Ghosts” is brilliant: “Forgiveness”- My all time favorite female singer!! Inspiration for my best musical review (I wrote 2): 1000 Kisses H Harrison, George - if for nothing else, for my favorite all-around album: “All Things Must Pass”, but also in honor of my old roommate who would have done anything for “Harry Georgeson” Hornsby,Bruce – “Dreamland”, “Gonna Be Some Changes Made” (new stuff, especially) I Indigo Girls – “Closer I Am To Fine” AND “Galileo” (and actually plenty of others) J Joel, Billy –“Until the Night” John, Elton – “Rocket Man”, “Tiny Dancer”, “Razor Face” (old, not new) K Kottke, Leo – “Pamela Brown”, “Standing on the Outside” - He is the most incredible guitarist I’ve ever heard, or ever will hear (and a hilarious conversationalist in concert). L Lennon, John - “Imagine” Loggins and Messina - “Peacemaker” Liebert, Ottmar - “Snake Charmer” (never can remember the names of the songs) M McLachlan, Sarah - “Fumbling Toward Ecstasy” Dave Matthews Band – “Crash” and mostly everything else One of my two favorite bands recording currently N (I must have enough Ls and Ms to make up for no Ns) O (No excuse for this one….Never got into Phil Ochs???) P Peter, Paul, and Mary - “Early Morning Rain” Q Queen (great idea borrowed from spus025) and others - “Bohemian Rhapsody” R REM – “Find the River”, in fact everything on “Automatic for the People” -The other of my two favorite bands recording currently S Stevens, Cat – “Tea for the Tillerman”, “How Can I Tell You”, “Hard Headed Woman”, “Sad Lisa” and so many others (wish he hadn’t stopped recording) My all time favorite male singer Supremes – “Love Child”, “Stop in the Name of Love” – (love that Motown…guess I should have also included Marvin Gaye in the Gs and the Temptations in the Ts) Simon, Paul – with and without Art Garfunkel – “Kodachrome”, “Hearts and Bones”, the whole “Graceland” album (But I do love naphtalia’s idea of Allen Sherman) T Taylor, James - “Long Ago and Far Away” Toad the Wet Sprocket - “Windmills” Train - “Drops of Jupiter” Talking Heads - “Stop Making Sense” U U2 I keep wanting to like them more, but I do like “Vertigo” and “I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For” V (hmm) W (lots o’ Williams, I guess) Williams, Lucinda – “Car Wheels on a Gravel Road” (the song AND the CD. Love her version of Nick Drake’s “Which Will”…maybe more than the original Williams, Dar - “Beauty of the Rain” The Who - a must mention for “Tommy” X (I’ve got nothin’) Y Young, Neil “A Man Needs a Maid”, “Old Man”, tons more Yorn, Pete- “Life on a Chain” (kind of a new favorite) Z Zappa, Frank (just kidding, my tastes aren’t really THAT eclectic) Thanks for the great idea jaguardog!  |
