I always liked Edgar and Johnny Winter. Great music.

For me it is music, usually somewhere in the blues, country rock and/or folk spectrum, but not classical (despite the best efforts of my parents) or jazz. The steady favourites among many others and in no particular order are the likes of the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Tom Petty (RIP), John Fogerty, Cowboy Junkies, Dave Matthews, Eric Church, Eric Bibb, Amos Lee, Alison Krauss, Emily Barker, Gretchen Peters, Margo Price and Tift Merritt all forming part of about 70gb of music on my old iPod on random/shuffle (so that I can never be sure what will come next).

Not sure what they all have in common, but it may be great guitar work and strong vocals, harking back to early Cliff Richard backed by the Shadows!

I was always too lazy to make much progress on playing any musical instrument myself, but I got as far as acting as a DJ at private parties for a few years a lifetime ago...

I am now masquerading as hagatha, and this is a copy of her post from the end of the previous thread on this topic (which had become too big and is now locked). smile

A lot of my "new" music comes from TV shows these days. Much of it isn't really new, but certainly new to me.

This one is from an episode of Lucifer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oqJ0JpMj6I


And check this out -- I literally just came upon this group and this floored me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m34byl2BT1o

I'm giong to have to check out more of their music.

Here's another:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UBcxKiS550



"I don't even have a phone!!!..." hehe nice scene from Lucifer, yeah I remember also listening to this song during the episode and immediately looking it up to add it to my playlist. I felt a little bit disappointed that after after season 1 the soundtrack did not keep up, I guess the switched music directors.

Yeah I can relate, I lot of my new (so to speak) music is coming from TV series. Last band I found was "Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros" by his song Home in the show "Community" S1E9. Now, I'm not usually your guy for this type of genre but I think I like this band because its connection I had with the series smile.

Nice findings, thanks for sharing them!

That was a fun song, nami. I agree -- not my usual kind of music, but a catchy tune nonetheless.

I agree hagatha - catchy indeed.
Thanks nami.
Stumbled across this through one of the youtube sidebars while following blues breadcrumbs and apparently they hail from your part of the world Lex? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoUDjFMgUKM

Always fun checking in here. The last half dozen links were satisfyingly eclectic.
Still making my way through the Knowles show.
And I hope you had everything tied down Lex eek

Just happened upon this after many years, and hey, it's beautiful and nostalgic:

Oh, and I got this from the fifth season of Lucifer:

As a general rule, I find Monty Python about as funny as tooth decay . However, that was funny ! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Impressive Iron Maiden in full flight and an excellent segue from hagatha which prompts this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33-fVsL5Kdc razz

Some of Monty Python was excellent, but quite a lot missed the target somewhat: I always regard Life of Brian as some of their best work, including this naturally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_-q9xeOgG4 zombie

I hadn't heard the Sellers/Milligan collboration, but it's pretty good.

Of course the one Python song we Canadians like most is this one, especialy those of us who live in British Columbia:

Okay, so moving along.......

Remember this?

I hadn't until you reminded me hagatha. And If I was ever to play the drums, I would want a set like in the Maiden link CD (and Lizzy B is another band I didn't know).
A favourite from a favourite 80s band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GkVhgIeGJQ

EDIT - In the same way that lumberjacks resonates with hagatha, the skit involving the philosophers song is a favourite. Bruce bruce bruce bruce and bruce, complete with corked hats and dodgy shorts taz

I had taken drum lessons as a kid in my early years . In my early 30's I went to bass instead . If I ever had the chance to own a drum set , I think it would be something like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERezsq0j9Nc

There's this . They make Christmas music now , sell out areas every year : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiHyP3wHae8&list=RDGMEM_v2KDBP3d4f8uT-ilrs8fQ&index=21

That last clip from flotsam reminds me about taking my daughters and a carload of other teenagers to see the Cure at Wembley Stadium in London, probably in 1985: this was in the era before seatbelts and I had a large Peugeot 504 estate car in which I could probably pack about 10 kids (making me popular with other local parents as a treat chauffeur/minder)... scared lol

Lex, that takes me back. When We lived in Kenya we had a forest green Peugeot station wagon with a rear fold-down seat for extra passengers. That car took us all over East Africa, on some pretty scary mountainous dirt roads. Peugeot was one of the most common cars in the East Africn Safari back then. Tough cars.

We had a 404 for a while, and then a station wagon of some sort, that served as a rugby team transport for away games!
You can fit nearly two thirds of the team if packed tetris like shame
