Finally found a place to talk music! I'm a musician, author, backpacker... I love movies and stand-up comedy (Mort Sahl, Bill Hicks).. When it comes to music, I'm trying to find all I can of the 60s and 70s, from any country. I tend to love Eastern music, minor-key, diminished, etc.. Usually slower paced.. I love vocalists who can sing in a high register, vibrato and falsetto. My latest kick started after someone recommended "It's Possible" by Piero Piccioni feature Catherine Howe - whose voice I absolutely love, and I love instrumentals, and found some great stuff of his.. I seem to love long songs, but not 10 minutes of 2-chords, solo turns, etc.... I will not listen to music with a drum-machine, and I'll gladly criticize my favorite band and avoid listening to it. I I like making lists, but I doubt there's enough room, so I'll limit it to a few.. Pink Floyd, Supertramp, The Doors, Beatles , zeppelin, who, steely dan, ELO, America, Eagles, David Bowie, Three Dog Night, Fleetwood Mac, Black Sabbath, Neil Young, Marley, Stylistics, Stones, Hendrix Harry and Tonto, La Strada, Nashville, They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, Network, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Battle of Algiers, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, A Woman Under The Influence, Buffalo '66 |

Thank you so much! I've enjoyed SO much in this last hour - I don't think there is enough time in the day! :) (I remember the name Vapour Trails, and I just took a listen - sounds very Steely Dan-ish, with Larry Carlton of course) |

Welcome! A great site to join - almost troll-free too! Passionate people who will generally respect your views, but occasionally you might need a thick skin when you touch on someone's 'sacred ground' when they're not at their best. Lots of new bands and albums I've discovered over the last couple of years thanks to forum members to get me out of my comfort zone. Hope it does the same for you too! ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

Thank you so much.. I'm a member of a movie board, and I like when people are passionate, and I've read a ton so far, and the place is full of so much great things... I've already heard some cool stuff, and look forward to all the sharing. |
