That may be the 3rd or 4th best song on that cd, not taking into account how much it's overplayed.
Or where it is played.

I thought seeing 10K jumping around at Blue Cross Arena was cool, but that left me dizzy!
Does 110K and Bon Jovi trump Camp Randall?

I'm listening to some old favs (The Police, S&G and Paul Simon solo)...however... let me throw some thoughts out to you for feedback...
The Police -
I LOVE this band but when I go through phases like this where I listen to them heavily, I also wonder just *** Sting was thinking when embarking on a career away from them and then continuing that solo career beyond say 2-3 years. yeah, try it I guess but then you don't realize how bland it is in comparison?
The Police have character, each player has a style and voice, Sting's solo work? quite boring in comparison.
studio musicians while great with metronome timing and easy to control since that's part of their job (to take orders), they can never be as creative as guys like Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland. NEVER!
and on a somewhat related note...Paul Simon...while I like Graceland, LOVE Rhythm of the Saints and like various other points of his solo career (early and late...his last album was quite good) he just has never seemed to realize that the most emotionally touching points of his music are him w/Garfunkel or him alone with his guitar (drop the whole 15 drummer thing)...at least imo
thoughts from other fans of these guys/bands?

Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread
On a whim, have stayed up ridiculously late drinking cheap beer and have listened to the following so far:
Faster Pussycat - Self-Titled
Faster Pussycat - Wake Me When It's Over
Green River - Dry As a Bone/Rehab Doll
The Gits - Frenching the Bully
Thus far, I seem to be going on a sliding scale from cheesy, glammed-up vaguely punk to real punk. Husker Du - Flip Your Wig feels like it's calling next.

I missed this somehow when you posted...
The Police...
Not sure that there was much left for them to cover. I think they were just done and from all I've read about them, they couldn't stand to be in the same room with each other by the end.
Not much can be done about that and many fans look at Synchronicity as a low point anyway or a start to a downward slide. I couldn't disagree more with that thought as it's probably my favorite of their albums, but to each their own.
Personally, I like(d) Dream of the Blue Turtles although a couple of the songs (Russians, for one) are quite dated now. What I like though is the Jazz angle that this album has. Bring on the Night is a good dvd that chronicles this time period. This segment from that dvd shows how smokin' and rejuvenated some of the material became.
The CDs for Bring on the Night are quite good and I still listen to them at least once a year. Probably the best version of Tea in the Sahara that you'll hear
In this video, Branford Marsalis talks a little about Sting and I found it interesting...
I stopped following Sting after Dream as the next album started moving towards adult easy listening although Sister Moon and his take on Little Wing are standouts.
I also have a CD from this era where Sting plays a show at some festival in France with Gil Evans (jazz guy) backed up by Evans' 10 or so member band. This is good too although I prefer Bring on the Night as it's a bit tighter.
A fun little Stuart Copeland project was when he did Oysterhead with Les Claypool and Trey Anastasio. The studio album is good, but the shows were a blast - I saw them twice. The three of these guys together... seemed like they had always been together. Great energy and if you've ever seen Claypool, he's a show all by himself.
As for Simon and Garf, I believe that they really only belonged in the 60s. Some of their stuff pulls on me in a very profound way, but I just don't see them doing that sort of work outside of that era.
The Concert in Central Park for instance, seems very dated to me (can't stomach listening to it at all - especially HATE the keyboard parts) in a way that their original recordings or their concerts from the 60s don't. Can't put a finger on why this is, but they just seem rooted to me in that time and place.
I first got into them, believe it or not as a freshman in college. A couple of buddies of mine had their greatest hits in constant rotation at their apartment in amongst Ozzy, Appetite for Destruction and Tesla to name a few. Weird, but no one ever questioned it and it worked.
Delved into their catalogue in more depth later in life. LOVE their interpretation of this...
I like Paul on his own to some degree, but not as much as Simon & Garf.

Lou Reed - 4-14-78 (I believe at Park West, Chicago)
I want to like this, but there's an AWFUL lot of sax in the mix and the chick backup singers are a bit much.
Too bad - great sounding radio broadcast.
Seriously, unless you're the Miles Davis Quintet or maybe Morphine, a brass instrument should never be your lead.

Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread
thanks for the Marsalis vid, I hadn't seen that before.
I like the Blue Turtles disc and Soul Cages but much of the rest of Sting's output just didn't hit me. The Driven To Tears video was interesting, I don't think it has the character of the original but that's Sting in his element in control as opposed to having bandmates who assert their own visions while maintaining the song.
re: S&G I sort of agree I don't know what they could have done post say 1970...but when I have itunes on shuffle and say, The Boxer comes on...man it really hits how great those lyrics are and how powerful Simon could be when reduced to just his lyrics and a guitar. It really makes his later career (especially the late 70's/early 80's) seem greatly out of focus.

Jammed to some "Hawaiian Style/Reggae" station out of Hawaii tonight via IHeartRadio, it was pretty cool. Totally loved the music. Finished off with some Spanish station out of NY, I think. Was looking for some mariachi or salsa type stuff, that was the best I could find. It was meh.

Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread
In the midst of a basement remodel which includes new flooring and getting rid of some unneeded clutter.
So I'm reducing my 900 or so official release CDs down to maybe 200 or so that I want to keep for sentimental reasons or because they would be hard to replace, even in a digital format. This is difficult, but I just don't need these taking up room since I've gone digital. Bought a second 160gb iPod Classic last week btw.
Next up will be my 2000 or so concert CDs. Gotta get those down to maybe 400 or so. Ugh.
Just like tube TVs, I gotta think that CDs will be taking up a whole lot of landfill space in the next decade or so. Hope to be able to sell most of these official CDs, but will be lucky to get a dollar each.

Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread
I'm thinking it's time to buy a bigger iPod. I've been using a Shuffle for the last few years, but if I'm running, I need to have more control over what I'm listening to. And nothing ruins the mood faster than hearing something like "Round Here" by the Counting Crows midway through my run.

Gurt: too bad you aren't local. Then again, my wallet is probably thankful you're not local.
Woke up WAY too early this morning (6am or so), so I started up a Miles Davis channel on IHR. Was quite pleased at the "related" artists/music they played. Very good mix, flowed nicely, and there wasn't a song I didn't like.

Gonna have some deals on this stuff.
Funny that what took me almost 25 years to accumulate was downsized and expunged in a couple of hours. And I don't feel the least bit sentimental about it as the content is all I ever wanted anyway. Feels great to get rid of clutter.
Two huge CD racks/bookcases that I built (solid) are also gone from the basement. One holds 900 CDs and the other about 600. Hope to move those on Craig's.
