What are you listening to? (merged)

[JediTricks]

Right now it's Zeppelin! Rock and Roll! and now The Rover! YEAAAAAH!

Wow, all over the place JT! Reminds me of last summer when I picked up a Gordon Lightfoot Best of and a live Metallica album. The guy at the store was a bit confused!

Heh, that's quite a mix, did you listen to them together as well?

I once bought a 2Pac CD at the same time as an Alanis Morissette one. That confused the clerk a bit.

No love for the Scorpions, JT? Their non-80s stuff is generally quite good, even if their output from that decade is a bit "hairy."

BCJ, you should listen to the very first Chicago album. It's like a totally different band from the stuff they've done since; very jazzy in a "real" jazz way, not a smooth jazz way. (Speaking of which, JT, did your Pandora station play any of Miles' more experimental later stuff? I dig his earlier stuff, but I love when he started getting wild--y'know, the rock/funk/jazz stuff most people seem to hate.)

Tupac and Alanis go together based on their '90s marketing cred.

Example of non-cheesy/horrible Scorpions? I haven't heard one yet.

Pandora doesn't have much of the later Miles stuff in my station, I'm tempted to add a second station based around something like Big Fun, but I suspect any derivatives it produces from that seed will be unbearable - it's very hard to find stuff like that which works for me, like Coltrane's Interstellar Space, I know it's well-liked but to me almost all of it is nails on chalkboard.

Yup, I gave each a bit of a listen between the record store and my humble abode.

Winds of Change?

[El Chuxter]

I'd start with "Robot Man," 2-1B's theme song.

Kermit the Frog and Rowlf the Dog singing Rainbow Connection at the D23 award conference where Jim Henson was honoroed.

[JediTricks]

Winds of Change, really? That song is anti-metal.

I don't think I've heard Robot Man, but the vocals are still cheesy in my book.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

My favorite Scorpions album would be Lovedrive.

So then you're pro Berlin Wall?

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Finally opened up the No Doubt best of CD. The last song, "Trapped in a Box," was from before they were "known" after the Tragic Kingdom breakout album; it sounds cool.

[El Chuxter]

Did you not have any of their pre-Tragic Kingdom stuff? The first album is barely passable, but I'm quite fond of The Beacon Street Collection.

[JediTricks]

Ace of Spades (the album), Motorhead - first rock I've listened to since I got sick last week, up until now it's been all TV and jazz.

So then you're pro Berlin Wall?

HEY, IT KEPT OUT DEM COMMIES!!!
