My votes went to Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Earth Wind & Fire, and Charlie Daniels Band. A good mix to choose from.

Other impressions:

Calexico: mariachi melody, very good arrangement with trumpet

CD's Band. Oh, here we are in full jam session, the singer recalls me Steve Winwood, but with an hourse voice.

S. Forte: heavy metal and piano solo, very virtuosistic performance.
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Angelica Garcia: powerful song, very good vocals (and very sexy girl!)

Ligety: minimalistic classical music

The Bears: very inspired music, great sound on the guitar

Beth Nielsen: wonderful voice and music based on the percussion

This time, I relate to this Victorian joke very much, considering the song I shared here. LOL

I did not want to vote for my own choice. Fortunately, there was little need to since this selection contains a lot of good songs (approximately a dozen), no bad ones, and Angelica is pretty.

1. Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks
2. Calexico
3. Beth N.C.

Bubbling just under: Frankie GtH and The Bears.

Thanks for the comments on The Bears. I am surprised that no one mentioned the guitar solo. It was done by Fripp.

yeah.. I'd say the variety on this one topped the first.  And while I have you.. great suggestion you had. Loved the song.. and the video as quite adorable. You really got me interested in her and exploring her music. 

Someone upstream mentioned it and when I was re-listening to her song earlier Raff mentioned the Bent Knee vocal similarity.  Once mentioned.. you can really hear it.

and nice to see others take this the same way I did... and vote not for what you suggested (that is a given) but voted what you liked of what others suggested. 

as the votes themselves are sort of immaterial..  ie.. there are no winners or losers. I'll take starting the next poll in a few days and keep the ball rolling.  i suspect I'm not the only one brimming with songs they'd like to suggest (as well hear what others come up with) and the quick fillerup today might have kept others out... the more the merrier. 

Yeah Nickie...  we might hang here at a prog forum..  but suspect I'm not alone that in actuality prog is only my 2nd or 3rd love musically and generally only for the best of it.. for much of it really is not that good. 

Music is not for the head or the intellect..that is what books are for.. but is  about emotions... it for the heart and soul. If not obvious by first couple of choices southern roots music is what I love.. the blues and in particular and has and always will be my favorite. Something I've really taken a interest in exposing Raff to.. and though it might have taken a decade she can dig a Wlllie Nelson gospel album and not run screaming into the night like she was prone to do early on hahah

oh man.. it wasn't that bad.. or even bad at all. Last poll I posted an absolute gem of a classic Carter Family gospel song with an especially fabulous modern interpretation of it.. and it got zero votes before I saved it from the inglorious fate and a bagel it didn't deserveLOL  Everyone is bringing their A games and honestly.. I haven't heard a bad song in either poll.  though some may connect and others may not.. what is interesting is to see what connects with who.

Which is exactly why someone can play something perfectly, yet it can be unmoving.  Which is not to say that technique is unimportant, but feeling should be roused in some way by art...and also explains why things move one person and not another.  You bring your entire experience to everything you hear along the way, it's all subjective (which I am pretty sure I've espoused elsewhere), or see, for that matter, but ultimately it's that gut feeling that is the most important in music, particularly.

The Savage Rose.....like the early psych sound
Stephen Malkmus.....even though indie alt rock has a nice retro feel also
Jo Jo Gunne....been a fan from the old days....all hail Spirit. ;)

also liked Charlie daniels and EWF.

Thanks dude. I find it awesome, but just look at the other tracks, haha. Stephan Forte's song is not in the extreme metal genre, but it is extreme. Next time (if that happens) I'll share something again out of the ordinary, but not extreme. Embarrassed

There were several songs I liked but my vote went to "La Canzone delle Domande Consuete" by Francesco Guccini. I was especially touched by the lyrics - very poetic. But I also admire the singer/songwriter style in it (my own music is very much in the singer/sonwriter corner).

Other candidates were Beth Nielson Chapman, the Decemberists and Ligeti.

Get with Lorenzo (jamesbaldwin) about starting the next poll.  Since it was his idea, I think he should manage the polls.  If he is okay with a "free-for-all", then that's fine, but he might have others that want to run the poll too.

Other impressions:

A Girl I Know: sophysticated pop song

Zanzibar: funk- jazz-rock fusion, near to be included in PA

Take it Easy: very good classic rock

Real emotional trash: in this poll, this track is the closest to prog: long, elaborated, with changes of rhythm and mood... interesting song, unpredictable but... something is missing to me just at the emotional level.

FGTH:ullallà.... Raff you recall me when I was a teen ager...

DMandrilla.... hmmmmm....

Ok, my votes:

1) Phil Ochs: Pleasures of the Harbour. Very atmospheric song, close to poetry. Ochs was not just a reporter.

2) CDB: No place to go. Oh yeah, rock jam session with the right vocals. Maybe a little too long in the end but it's all right.

3) The Bears: Dave. For the sound.


Close to the top:

4) Calexico
5) Jo Jo Gunne
6) Stephen Malkmus.

Oh yes, you are a connoisseur! Wink

However you can express three preferences.
