I think these guys must have been a one-hit wonder.


Oh my gosh, that song was given SO much airplay at the time.

As for months:

Pieces of April

A few boys you might be familiar with, playing October:

And this one, again October:

I discovered Nico Stai through the TV series Chuck, which I found to be silly and funny. A show for nerds and geeks, about nerds and geeks.

Excellent - and here they are at NPR (a fantastic source of great performances which I strongly recommend to those who may be unfamiliar) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHdsoNewFdU smile

... on the subject of Bruce, the album of his Broadway show is good stuff, as is his book Born to Run (even to someone such as myself who is not necessarily a great fan of pop memoirs), and I love this track by Eric Church https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HBh7cVZubk smile

...but back to months, here is Carole King for August https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEwh7-tLnVA

That was a great song to round off the year, but here is one more for December anyway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfD7FzcjVyQ

We probably ought to wait until mid December to do favourite Christmas songs...

Only a few of the Waterboys' songs really do it for me but I have their album Karma to Burn on which I particularly like Fisherman's Blues and Peace of Iona (it also includes one of my wife's favourite tracks The Whole Of The Moon).

You touched on Desert Island Discs: what would be your all-time favourite five albums? blackkitty

Fisherman's Blues and Whole Of The Moon are goodn's. A Girl Called Johnny is another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUSDeqYYB2Q
All time favourites I will interpret from the perspective of if I only had five to listen to, so had to hear them over and over, what would they be.
I think maybe (and leaving out compilations, concert albums etc)

Darkness On The Edge Of Town - Bruce Springsteen
Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac
Patti Smith - Horses
The Joshua Tree - U2
Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones

The Muse live recording of their concert from Rome would be in there, as would the Stones acoustic compilation Stripped if they were "eligible" in place of Fleetwood Mac and the Stones studio album

I could also make a case for Blondie's Parallel Lines, the first album from Melissa Etheridge, Blonde on Blonde by Dylan, and Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd (and Born to Run and Rumours instead of the ones included).
And I suspect I have missed a whole bunch wave
And you?

I'd have heck of a time picking my favourites because I also listen to classical. The field would get crowded very quickly. Also, it would be full of Pink Foyd albums, so there is that.

I found as I got older that I almost never have the patience to listen to full album. I'm more likely to listen to one or two tracks and move on. These albums I listen to all the way through:

Wish You Were Here, for sure, and probably The Division Bell, too. And Meddle, just for Echoes.

Selling England By the Pound.

The Joshua Tree

Led Zeppelin 1 and 2

Don't know which Stones I'd pick.

I'm already past five anyway.

Which is your favourite Floyd hagatha? Mine is certainly Wish You Were Here, but Side Two of Meddle has spent many a long afternoon on the turntable.
And do you still have/play records?

I don't have records any more. I'm still a dinosaur, though -- I have CD's. I keep meaning to digitize them, but I have so many it seems like an insurmountable task. I suspect that if I went through them one by one I'd be ditching at least half of them. So many bands didn't pass the test of time for me --like The Who.

I'm not really sure which Floyd album is my favourite. I love Wish You Were Here, but I also love The Division Bell. I'm not keen on the Roger Waters-heavy stuff. I'm more of a Gilmour fan. His music is more...classical, I want to say.

When I was around 20 four of us hopped in a car to see Floyd perform in Montreal. The new stadium wasn't even finished, and we had to sit on the ground. It was during the Animals era, with the giant pig overhead. Quite the scene, that was.


It's been a t least 25 years since I last went to a live concert, though. I think the last one might have been either Loreena McKennitt or even Lyle Lovett, and I know I saw an Itzhak Perlman concert in the last classical series I went to. Have you been to any live concerts recently?

I've been to only 2 concerts my whole life. The first was The Beach Boys playing at the Wisconsin State Fair and the second was Aretha Franklin playing free at a park in downtown Chicago. redface
