there ain't nothing in Chicago for a monkey woman to do..... Steely Dan - Countdown to Ecstasy

Nazareth - Hair of the Dog....time has not been kind....this was good...when I was 16....and stoned....now; not so much

Rain

funny.....Hank, I was thinking about you when I posted the link above your post...

I got thinking about how I absolutely CANNOT listen to reggae without feeling good....mostly true roots reggae, but lots of faux reggae does the exact same....whether its Toots and the Maytals, or just Gorillaz' Clint Eastwood....reggae lightens the mood and takes a weight off the shoulders....

Dunno if you listen to much reggae...but next time you get the urge to spin DMB.....stomp on it and play some Marley..Bob, Stephen, Ziggy...don't matter...



note...I don't hate Dave Matthews...I just never found any reason to like them...at all....maybe because they have exactly three original songs and another few dozen that are directly derivative...I don't know another artist off the top of my head that made an entire career out of copying their own 2 or 3 songs....over and over

Listen to reggae! And if the Jamaicans don't do it for you....try some other not-quite, but close....of course the Clash and Police go without mentioning...and the Beatles don't count...you might try 10CC Dreadlock Holiday and see if you can be pissed at anything after hearing that....or Elvis Costello's Watching the Detectives...

good music makes me happy

I have listened to some reggae but not much. It is alright. Not something I could listen to often.

I got into reggae in the late '70s so it was more the "classic" artists. Records were hard to get, almost all were imports, nothing from the big US companies (...CBS / Epic, Warners, Atlantic, RCA, etc...). Island Records was the biggest US distributor of reggae at the time and "The Harder They Come" soundtrack was probably the most accessible (...music-wise...) for the general public. Still feel that Eric Clapton's version of "I Shot the Sheriff" was the key to getting people to listen to and accept the genre (...I didn't necessarily care for it since I already knew Marley's recording but it is what it is...). Although I'll play some reggae once in a while, it's not nearly as often as I used to.

Bob Marley - Reggae Fever....terrible recording quality, but raw and historic

Cough...cough....NICKELBACK...cough.

yep....I knew there must be another out there....lol



Hollie Cook - Twice
?t=18m46s

Father was a Sex Pistol...godfather is Boy George...

little poppy, but the voice is rather mesmerizing at times

Boston........the first album was great, all the rest sound like rearrangements of the 1st one......they even have an album called "Don't Look Back" which is, I believe, album #2 for Boston, and it is an absolute rehash of #1

Pixies on Spotify.

Robert Earle Keene. Gringo Honeymoon

George Winston - Autumn

Some reflective music as I smoke a Padron FR50 in memory of Ed's Dad. Made me think of and miss my Dad too.

71 F / 68% RH / 8 mph - overcast day, a little rain just before dinner

Third World - Reggae Ambassadors (Hits album)

The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers

Jack White is better with them than with stripes

I like all 3.

Kansas-point of no return.
