Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

So far this morning, I've listened to:

Matthew West: The Story of Your Life
Death Cab for Cutie: Codes and Keys
She Wants Revenge: This is Forever
Wilco: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

So I was reading up on how the (semi-)local women's soccer team is coming up with a fan chant contest, and all of a sudden this song popped in my head:

U2 - 2/5/85 Bologna, Italy

Great, high energy show from the Unforgettable Fire tour.


Italian crowds are/were rowdy as hell and this show and the night before from Milan are two of my favorite U2 concerts.

So Record Store Day is Saturday, and one of their special releases is all four original Orange Juice albums on vinyl. Now back in the 80's, i used to hear how great this band was, but for the life of me, I have never heard a thing by them. So I'm checking out a bunch of their stuff on Youtube, to decide whether I want to pick these up on Saturday. Not quite sure what to make of it. Some nice rhythm guitar work, but for the most part the songs themselves don't really do much for me. And the vocals are that kind of fey '80's British singing that irritates me so. And those high-waisted pants they wore back then.:eek:

FWIW, the leader and main songwriter of Orange Juice was this guy.

 
Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

Like listen to this. it's great, until the vocals kick in.

 
Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

I have friends who are REALLY into Orange Juice. I'm not so much but I can see why people would dig em for sure.

right now, drum roll...................................it's RUSH. tonight's the night! I wish the HOF thing was being streamed right now. kind of unfathomable that it's not
 
Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

Rolled with IHR station (created) that had the likes of NWA, Public Enemy, EPMD, Boogie Down Productions, Ice Cube, Big Daddy Kane, Ice-T, etc. It was decent.

Rush fans - do yourselves a favor and watch the induction speech, particularly Alex Lifeson's, his is the most hilarious ****-take on the whole thing I could have imagined. Just awesome.

also Grohl and Hawkins had very nice things to say, unfortunately for HBO, the Rush fans were so vociferous they drowned out about 1/3 of their collective speech!

Steve Winwood & Eric Clapton - Live at MSG. Magic. Too bad so many only know Winwood for his pop run in the 80's.

That was fun. Neil was a little teary-eyed when he first got up there.

How the **** they weren't in there at the 25 year mark is beyond me.


Have to do some Rush this weekend. Will definitely keep the wife out of the basement if I do. She claims that Rush is a woman repellant.

Having been to some of their shows, she may be on to something. ;):D


I can still remember where I was sitting in my parents' house the first time I saw this on MTV...



Had been a Rush dabbler (my older sister - despite what my wife thinks - was the big fan in our house) before that and became a fan on the spot. Rode my bike to the video store the next day and rented the tape for our Betamax.

awesome! Love Exit Stage Left and Neil's explication on the video.

turn down the volume if Mrs. Gurtholfin comes down, there's no wife/girlfriend repellant better than Caress of Steel;)

I think it took 13-14 years to get them in because the Rock Hall CEO and most critics despise prog-rock, which means Yes, King Crimson, ELP may never get in. It's a lame stance especially when you analyze what they're saying in their interviews some of which boils down to "Rock should be from the gut not the head"...well they must not have read the lyrics to Spirit of Radio, Subdivisions, Red Sector A etc., all (for me at least) very moving songs

I know a couple of girls who love Rush both of whom I just had to blurt out too "So you're the girl who likes Rush" when I found out our common fan-dom!

they've finally gotten their due, between all the musicians in the movie, Charlie Watts even saying he's a Peart fan at the ceremony evidently, Beastie Boys gave em a shout-out. they're finally cool, and they deserve the accolades and inclusion, at least imo.

Have you heard Dirty City? It's just an amazing song, a bit of a generic Clapton solo at the end, but the dirty Fender tone that Winwood plays himself throughout the song more than makes up for it.

 
Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

Listening to a couple operas this morning...

Carl Orff: Carmina Burana
Puccini: La Boheme

Eventually, I want to run the 25K in the time it takes La Boheme to play.
 
Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

Blind Melon - all the studio stuff with Shannon


This is a band I really liked and it would have been nice to get a few more albums out of them.

It's been said for years, but bears repeating. The RnR HoF is a corporate entity run by industry suits and snobs. That's why there is an entire floor devoted to hip-hop. :rolleyes:
