India Arie - Can I Walk With You

Funny, they played, Another One Bites The Dust at mine.

I've only heard it a couple of times and I didn't think much of it. But I've never been a fan of Springsteen's vocals. I think that he's a great song writer though.

I never cared for Springsteen's version of 'Blinded'

but add Kitty's Back to my fave list

That's on my list too.

**Mr MidFi** · 10-22-2009, 05:34 AM

Add "Save It for Later" by the English Beat to my list. It shuffled up for me on the drive in this morning.

I was talking about this briefly with the girl friend last night. Her first reaction was....

Bob Dylan's - Workingman's Blues #2 (Modern Times, 2006)

**nobody** · 10-22-2009, 05:49 AM

That version of blinded reminds me of one of those songs where I don't really care much about the artist in general, don't have the album, but always smile when it some on. I'm tossing out 2 in that vein...

Come A Little Bit Closer - Jay & the Americans

and

Brandy - Looking Glass

Couple story songs that I always love hearing randomly...and always say I'm gonna pick up copies of but never do, although I do know a few jukeboxes with both for when I absolutely need a fix.

**3LB** · 10-22-2009, 07:27 AM

Brandy? now that's cheesed...but I admit to liking that song more than I should - reminds me of another '70s cheese classic, Dancing In The Moonlight.

Now now....I like me some Eagles. I understand why everyone be so tired of them, but I still whip out Desperado (the album) every now and then. Great album...a concept album at that. I made me a comp of non-hit Eagle tunes and I listen to that every now and then. They made some great albums - never a bad one. But popularity to their degree gets tiresome - they could fart into a microphone and critics would fawn all over them for it. And they still get massive ink everytime two of them are seen at the same Dairy Queen or 7-11...enough already.

Fave Eagles tune - Is It True? Bernie Leadon on vox and Don Felder's prodigious slide guitar.

**tentoze** · 10-23-2009, 09:13 AM

Cell Phones Ringing (In The Pockets Of The Dead)- Willie Nile

**rob7** · 10-23-2009, 03:05 PM

I'm admittedly a casual Eagle listener. My dad would play a couple of their albums when I was a kid and I thought some of it was cool. I agree with you, 3LB--I don't get all mushy when I hear their stuff on the radio in the car or at work or whatever. But when I'm in the mood, I'll chase the kids outside and enjoy a nice, mellow Eagles song block on my system. That's when it's bliss.

Really.

Great song with a story, and acoustic prowess that must be seen to be believed. Pure genius.

I'm not going to ask for your "favourite song" because, if you're like me, you'll have more than one. And how you answer may depend on many factors. So just name one. Name one of your all-time favourites. A song that treats your ears and makes the world feel right every time you hear it.

Do oratorio arias count? If so, I love I know that My Redeemer Liveth from Handel's Messiah. Listen to an excerpt HERE ... sorry, only 100 kbps for avoid copywrite infringement.

I love this aria because it's gorgeous; believe me, not because I'm religious.

Wow, that's psychic. I just heard this one this morning. Agree, it's an all-time great tune!

Unbelievable. I mean, there's a lot of good stuff on it, but this is the one I skip to whenever I want to knock someone's socks off, and it never fails.

No, I haven't seen that one. Sounds like maybe I should, though.

Speaking of Thompson... Los Lobos' cover of "Shoot Out the Lights" just played a few songs ago. Another cool tune.
