Bands You're Obsessing Over Right Now


Recommended Posts

"Love", but specifically Forever Changes. The early ones have their moments, but this one is something else entirely.

Equal parts cloying and dark, the lyrics are smart, and smartly sung. Arthur Lee is an interesting singer, in terms of the timbres he chooses to use, as well as his phrasing. The arrangements are well-thought out, although I'm not terribly excited about horns and strings in rock.

I quite enjoy listening to it at this time of year. Perfect Autumn music.

There is a live version from Glastonbury 2003 that's pretty sweet, and a great "You Set the Scene" on Jools Holland's show.

 

I find this darker, despite the orchestrations, and lyrically more interesting than the Doors :finbar:

 

"There's a bluebird sitting on a branch.

I guess I'll take my pistol.

I've got it in my hand

Because he's on my land."

 

I love Love.

 

:cheers:

I like Love. I've only really listened to "Da Capo" "Forever Changes" and "Four Sail"

 

My favorite song by them bar none is Always See Your Face

Bruce Springsteen

 

I also see me having a bit of a crazy Love and Doors phase after the last few posts!

 

Kings Of Leon

 

Only By The Night is one of my all time favourite albums...and I haven't really enjoyed anything else. UNTIL NOW!

 

The new album is freakin beautiful.

I enjoy them song by song. Most of their albums are overkill to my ears. But they have a surprising amount of gems among the pickings.

Avenged Sevenfold

 

Their new album The Stage is a Prog Metal feast. Seriously......amazing record and unexpected for me. My son introduced this band to me a year or so ago......and they have some great stuff.

 

But this? Wow. Seriously wow.

I've been listening to late 70s and early 80s adult contemporary bands/singers like Firefall, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Ace, Joe Jackson, Paul Davis and a couple others. And I just made a playlist on my iPod! Edited by Leanne
