IMO either you love him or you won't.. Now I know a couple of members here`` who seemed to love and jump on the chance to TRY.. and put Dylan down..bringing up whatever... Here is a quote I like....
Quote: The minute you try to grab hold of Dylan he's no longer where he was. He's like a flame: If you try to hold him in your hand you'll surely get burned. Dylan's life of change and constant disappearances and constant transformations makes you yearn to hold him.. and to nail him down. And that's why his fan base is so obsessive so desirous of finding the truth and the absolutes and the answers to him - things that Dylan will never provide and will only frustrate....
`~~~~ Dylan is difficult and mysterious and evasive and frustrating and it only makes you identify with him all the more as he skirts identity.
I listen to Dylan all the time.. mainly older albums..to get a hint of ``` The Joker and the Thief```
Don't have much to add ..being it means so little to many others...and what it means to me.. I can't put in to words..so others``can understand.. Oh and no.. I haven't heard any of the newest`` Dylan`` yet.. thou... I will make a point to do so !! Thank You Kindly Dave..
Back when God was in short pants, we were all clustered at the stage door to catch a glimpse of Dylan as he left after the concert when he went electric. His limo was stalled by the crowd of people and somebody tried the door. It opened. He pushed my friend Ann into the car. After a short minute she climbed back out and we were all frothing at the mouth to know what he said.
Her reply?
"He said, "Get out of the car"

My favorite music includes Radiohead, Tool, Pink Floyd (especially the Dark Side), Nirvana, Deep Purple (the very old stuff...), Feist, Poe, The Velvet Underground, and a few more obscure acts.
I prefer to listen to entire albums. Shuffle/random buttons annoy me. I most enjoy artists who's CD's flow together to form a single large work (Dark side of the Moon being a great example of this).
I find myself very disinterested in music these days. I'm something of an audiophile (tho you may not guess that from my tastes), and the recording quality of the last 5/10 years is extremely disappointing. Everything is dynamically compressed so it'll sound OK in MP3 format. No more is it full of subtlty and detail. We live in a time when we should be able to record the most perfect recordings ever made, but the studios know their market. Ipods and bookshelf systems with limited power/response and dynamic range, or people driving around in their cars, background noises drowning out the small stuff I so enjoyed...

Oh K I will chime in...music...like others I kind of stick to what I call the oldies of my time...I tend to get into phases. So it may be rock, or may be a bit of reggae and then maybe movie soundtracks. I like what is termed celtic music some of it traditional and some a bit more punkish. So while I might be lsitening to Clannad or enya I can move over to Flogging Molly and Pogues
I like maybe nostalgia back to original Motown or blues.
I detest rap music
country I take in small doses...I need to be in that mood...

Ray There are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on.
Pogues. A tragic case of wasted talent was Shane MacGowan. "Fairytale Of New York" is one of my favourite songs. And "Dirty Old Town". He wasn't that great to look at.
The pogues certainly recorded some interesting stuff. Always worth a listen.
Many of the best are wasted on themselves. Plenty of examples in the bands listed above by all! It will never cease to amaze me that Lou Reed survived the '60's....
Funny thing is of the bands who have "straightened out", most of them sucked after. eg. Aerosmith.
I'm still stuck on Lightfoot. He's my lifetime favorite. In fact, he's going to be in Phoenix I believe in October and I'm going to that concert if I have to sleep with a scalper. If Jim Croce hadn't been killed, he may have become my favorite. It's a shame he's best known for his novelty songs because the rest of his work had real content. Just like Jerry Reed, we all know his funny stuff but you can't even find his serious work.

I just bought a number of CD's to lighten things up at work: - Sergeant Pepper...and a Paul McCartney one - Best of Simon & Garfunkle - Huey Louis and the News - Mamas & the Papas - Peter Paul & Mary - Fleetwood Mac - The Eagles - ABBA and - Ella Fitzgerald
One of the BEST I've found recently is Bruce Springsteen's "We Shall Overcome" - The Seeger Sessions.
Jerry Reed died a couple of days ago. I was just saying that I never saw him in a movie but appreciated his serious music more than anything else. I wish my turntable worked. I'd drag out his old LP's and play a couple for you. It has always saddened me to see an excellent musician overlooked for his serious work and climb to fame on novelty songs. Jim Croce comes to mind.

THANK YOU! I loved this comment!
"honestly, i knew of them before i heard them on the radio b/c they were everywhere! u would have to be living in a 3rd world country to not know who the jb's are! ha!"
At least I know it's not CRAP - even if it's not my kind of music, I won't feel like a fool giving it somebody. Being a dinasaur I haven't gone to YouTube except by being linked to it. Maybe I should come out of the dark! But some of us need to be around to tell the kids what it was like when we roamed the world without electricity!
Right now I'm listening to an outstanding Canadian artist: Feist. Beautiful songwriting, excellent instrumentation and great vocal quality.
The only drawback is the lowest-common-denominator mixing/engineering of the recording, same as just about any modern recording, optomized for bloody MP3.....
I worked on a job where the fixture foreman played "Trance" nonstop. He is lucky to be alive. It is electronic repetition that could serve as torture. In a word, SHITE. Brain dead no words, a robot on a keyboard.

Hope you enjoy Lightfoot, Donkey Dave! The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is a classic even if only for us Midwesterners or transplanted ones like you.
CKLW made that song a huge hit back in their heyday of TOP 40 AM ROCKERS!
I heard some lady was disappointed at a recent concert of his, not because of his music, but because she remembered him as a healthy hunk of man. Seems he suffered the same problem that killed John Ritter and he took years to recuperate but does not look right like himself just yet.
I like Lightfoot...Sundown...Wreck of Edmund Fitz...Carefree Highway...Rainy Day People...Beautiful...Daylight Katy...and so on.
How Could I forget one of his biggest classics, If You Could Read My Mind...Thanks for reminding me.
Some 2000 era musical group remade that song into a dance tune with a fast moving beat about 5 years ago. Not sure if you'd like it, but I thought it was OK. Can not think of the group, you probably would not have heard of them anyway. I know I did not.
Billy Vera and the Beaters, a one hit wonder. "At This Moment" What a great song and so well done. But there was another one on that album that got past most of us. It's my favorite song of his but it certainly is more effective in audio rather than type.
"Hopeless Romantic"
Sometimes on Sundays I sit by the TV Watching sad movies alone When it gets to the part Where the little dog dies I cry Sometimes I think I was born just a little Behind or ahead of my time I live in a dream world Of caring and sharing And good guys and nobody lies
I'm a believer And much more than anything I believe in you You're not a deceiver And if you told me the ocean went dry I'd believe it was true
So call me a hopeless romantic Because I can still believe I can still believe in true love and hopeless romantics Still can find a way To make true love last these days

There was a movie 40 or 50 years ago called The Snake Pit. It was in a women's mental institution. There is a passage in Smetana's Ma Vlast (which means My Country) In the movie they sing to the music of the last movement of Ma Vlast--Going home, Going Home, I am going home" They aren't, of course, going anywhere.
No joy right now.

Thanks, Yardo. The memories are flooding in on me. My mum and my sister and I used to go to the movie matinee every Saturday. It cost a quarter to get in and the same for popcorn and a drink. She had to scrimp to pay for that, but she always found a way. Can you imagine 75 cents was so hard to come by?

I like trance. My favorite dance genre is breakbeat.
Breakbeat is defined as not having repetitious beats, unlike techno. Trance is generally in between the two. However, most dance is more repetitious than more mainstream music. A lot of dance does have lyrics though.
Anyhow, generalizing an entire genre of music as "shite" because you hate it is rather ignorant.
Quote: I found a copy! You guys already turned me on to Guy, and I already loved Emmylou. Not as much as WH, of course, 'cause I don't drool when I hear her.
Baby mine, drool is too small a word, When I drive alone at night, I blare Guy Clark or Emmy Lou. Sometimes The Chieftains. I saw the Stones and the Beatles in person and I would take a night with Guy or Emmy Lou over either of them.

You guys were talking earlier about the Hansons. There's a fairly new group called Thriving Ivory I've just started listening to. My first thought was the did sound like the Hansons until I listened more and it seems the lead singer sounds a lot like the lead singer from Rush. Of course these are youngun's...
I went ahead and included both the video version and the acoustic version. I like the acoustic version better.
This singer has a great voice. I classify it as Operatic Heavy Metal. May be a little out there for some of you old heads. J/K of course. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qdcl67H1Jw

A computer is as much an instrument as anything else, capable of making beautiful sounds and fantastic music.
The acoustic VS electrical VS electronic division is arbitrary. An instrument creates sounds and a person using the instrument creates music, simple as that.
Keep in mind, the signal from an electric guitar is always amplified electronically and is usually modified as well. No one disregards the electric guitar on that basis.
Check this one out, skip to 1:45 since you will hate the repetitious intro;
I can't make you like it (and I wouldn't want to), though perhaps I can get you to appreciate the depth and complexity. It does have a repetitive beat (but so does most modern pop music), but get past that and consider the song as a whole. It's certainly not mindless.
"It's certainly not mindless." If you say so. Bong, bong, bong. Mindless to me. Thud, thud, thud. Must be quiet out there on the grass. Depth and complexity.??? Have another toke.

Music is patterns, and electronica only moreso. The depth and beauty requires patience to discern for the new listener. Like heavy metal to the classical ear, it just seems like noise at first listen. The layered, shifting patterns reveal themselves only to the willing. Sometimes a toke may help
I'm not a dance/trance/electronic fan per se. I'm a fan of Radiohead, Tool, Floyd, Nirvana... And a bunch of more eclectic stuff too... But I don't limit myself to particular music styles. I limit myself to what I think of as Quality music. Stuff with intricate arrangements, or beautiful simple clarity. Every music style I've ever heard has a small percentage of artists who actually ARE artists, creating truly Quality music.
I capitalize Quality here. Think Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance sort of Quality.

I was in Toronto a couple of weeks ago doing a job at the Hard Rock Cafe on Yonge Street. Check out the bridge on Bob Dylan’s guitar - its hand carved!
I tried posting the photos here, but they were too big.
Didn't get the full story on the wood bridge, but its pretty cool.

Hey gang wake up! The other night I was joshing with my wife and put together a little line, "I know I probably bore you but I'm not too clever I just adore you."
A light went on and I had to go back and fire up the computer. I put those lines in Google and came back with Frank Sinatra, "Call me irresponsible." Then I had to download it. What a song! Check it out.

I heard the song years ago and can't stop listening.
During 1971, Whittaker hosted a radio program in England, backed by a full orchestra with arrangements by Zack Lawrence. Whittaker is quoted as saying that "one of the ideas I had was to invite listeners to send their poems or lyrics to me and I would make songs out of them. We got a million replies, and I did one each week for 26 weeks."[1] Ron A. Webster, a silversmith from Birmingham, England (not to be confused with the footballer named Ron Webster, who played for Derby County F.C.), sent Whittaker his poem titled "The Last Farewell", and this became one of the selections to appear on the radio program. It was subsequently recorded and featured on Whittaker's 1971 album, New World in the Morning (A Special Kind of Man in the US and Canada), although the song failed to reach the music charts.
According to Whittaker, in 1975 the wife of a program director for a radio station in Atlanta, Georgia was traveling in Canada and heard Whittaker's recording on the radio; when she returned to the United States, she asked her husband to play the song on the station. After playing the song a few times, listeners began calling the station to find out more about the song and singer, and soon thereafter "The Last Farewell" was on its way onto the charts. The single reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the spring of 1975, peaking at #19. It also went to #1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart.[2] The response to the song in America led the single to achieve success in other parts of the world, including in England, where the song reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart.[3] It also went to #1 in 11 other countries and sold an estimated 11 million copies worldwide,[4] making it by far Whittaker's best-known song around the world.
The opening of "The Last Farewell" features a French horn solo that was arranged by Lawrence on the initial airing of the radio program. Whittaker has stated that he feels much of the song's appeal comes from the classical-sounding nature of this instrumental arrangement at the beginning of the song.

Well I do like most of their music and the CD that those lyrics came from was a song called "Rock Star". I also liked "If Everyone Cared" and "Savin' Me"....just a few to mention. I'm an old time rocker but the local station (98 Rock) sorta did some changes and I was not a happer camper with the music they were playing. I went country for a while but then came back to rock and roll once again. I still don't care for the music 98 Rock plays most of the time, I guess rock and roll has changed and most of the new groups out there, I don't really care for, guess i'm just too old, lol....still love the old rock and roll, stones, CSNY, def leppard, bad company, acdc, i think you get the idea....
Man, I just thought I'd peek in on this thread......did this topic explode, or what? No way I can go through and read all 12 pages so far, but I skimmed a few.
Anyway, I'm in my 50's, had my fun as a weekend warrior in bar bands for a few years, a few years back, and I can appreciate any music 'except' Rap (not really music........unless you put Aerosmith and Run DMC together), Hip Hop, and Opera. I can go for country, easy jazz, blues, Flamingo guitar, R&B, Swing, Rock (although that can break down to 20 sub categories), etc.
But an album came to mind as I read some of the post. It is an album that has been called by many as 'the greatest album to never have a hit song', by one I consider to have attained the level of musical 'genius', Elton John. (Although I don't know if I'd like the guy, if I met him)
The album is called 'Tumbleweed Connection'. Taupin and John created this album with the theme of the early American west. Even the album cover (brown and white photo cover) had the look of antiquity. The songs tell stories of outlaws, civil war, romance, and love lost.
Perhaps my favorite cut is 'Talking Old Soldiers'. It is just Elton and his piano as he plays both a young man, and an old soldier who has seen the horrors of war and is growing old, and outliving those that experienced it with him, thus, running out of people he can talk to.
How two Brits, in their 20's, could create this masterpiece, with this theme, is beyond me, but if you haven't heard it, you are depriving yourself.
And don't forget 'Amoreena'......."..I can see you, sittin' eaten, apples in the evenin', the fruit juice flowin slowly, slowly, down the bronze of your body..". Sounds like an old farm boys daydream.
Last few months.. I have`` really``been listening to some of my ``Old Albums`` and thinking how far ? did ~The Beautiful Messages ~ `````````````````ever go``` My Heart has been growing heavier over the past few years and even listening to some of the discussions here.... ```````` have often made me very sad......

I have not looked at all 14+ pages.
I was born in 1951. The only music I listen to is 1955-1975. The songs were poetry with lyrics that rhyme, and told stories. The music, after that, to me, is nothing but noise.
Rock n Rock Forever.
Sadly the world was denied decades of music with the early deaths of Rick Nelson, John Lennon, Elvis, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, many more. And in the last 2-3 years we lost Gene Pitney and Johnny Maestro. And, you guessed it, they died in the hotels overnight during CONCERT tours. Their music will never die.
And the during this award presentation in Antwerp Belgium, only a couple weeks before his death, he performed 3 of his greatest hits. One, "You Got It" was never before perfomed live until that night. All the videos of those 3 hits on that date in 1988, are on Youtube.
As you can see the crowd in that 25,000 seat venue was totally unbelievable.

I wanted to mention my amazement at an app called Soundhound. You may have heard of its competitor, Shazam.
I'm constantly coming across songs I might like that are playing in the background or in the mall or somewhere that I can't really get any lyrics so that I'll be able to find the song. They are both programs that listen to a song that's playing (Soundhound will even listen to you try to hum the song), and then tell you what the song is.
Can you discern any of the lyrics in the first 20 seconds of that video? Soundhound had it figured out within 10 seconds. A guy in New Zealand makes a video in the early 90s and a song is playing on the radio. 20 years later a guy in Canada sees the video from across the world and wants to know the song, so he grabs his cell phone and it tells him. The world is friggin amazing I say.
I guess Brel and Aznavour are huge male names. Piaf is inimitable. She doesn't sound anything like Billie Holliday but there's a similar undertone of a hard life. She had a thing for Yves Montand, no?

Although not the caliber of Dylan I prefer traditional music. Any traditional or Old Tyme music fans aboard. Here is a couple of clips of my 16 year old.
Yep I got a warped sense of humour, but as I state, might not be your cup of tea so you been warned but I would love to dedicate it to all the politicians out there

That's probably the thing I love most about youtube. Relatively average/unknown people can go and do a cover of a song or make their own music and get recognition without any record deal or anything.
With a few hundred bucks in equipment, talent and time, these people have a market of tens of millions to show their work to. What were their options 10 years ago?

Very fascinating. What is amazing for me is I do not listen to much radio at all anymore for music. I listen to radio for various talk shows, mostly sports and such and that is it. Strangely, I pick up "new" music from Youtube, sometimes just because someone points me to a link for something and then off to the side I see other links for videos and give them a listen and either quick end them or sit and listen, bookmark for reference and then go find more from that group/person and at some point will download that music. I have picked up more interesting music from YouTube in the past few months then I have in years from radio...

If you disrespect anybody That you run in to How in the world do you think Anybody's s'posed to respect you
If you don't give a heck 'bout the man With the Bible in his hand Just get out the way And let the gentle man do his thing
You the kind of gentleman That want everything your way Take the sheet off your face, boy It's a brand new day
Respect yourself, respect yourself If you don't respect yourself Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na Respect yourself, respect yourself
If you're walking 'round Think'n that the world Owes you something 'Cause you're here
You goin' out The world backwards Like you did When you first come here
Keep talkin' 'bout the president Won't stop evolution Put your hand on your mouth When you cough, that'll help the solution
Oh, you cuss around women And you don't even know their names And you dumb enough to think That'll make you a big ol man
Respect yourself, respect yourself If you don't respect yourself Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na Respect yourself, respect yourself Respect yourself, respect yourself

And was said to be around 89 ? years old now.. And his wife of 67 plus years died back in... Oh Never mind all of that.. ( sources ? ) ``` Well I remember` ~~~~``` You Slim```` ~~~~~~~~~
