Can't believe 'Angel From Montgomery' hasn't been mentioned yet...sancarlos wrote: ↑Fri Jun 01, 2018 8:41 pmMan, John Prine has tons of great songs, including some you've mentioned there. Also, some other favorites of mine are Illegal Smile, Pretty Good, Dear Abby, Grandpa was a Carpenter, Hello in there, Donald & Lydia...govmentchedda wrote: ↑Fri Jun 01, 2018 3:54 pm Listening to the Nick Offerman's Shop Music Spotify playlist. How come none of you sat me down and forced me to listen to John Prine? "In Spite of Ourselves", "Sweet Revenge", "Clay Pigeons", "That's the Way the World Goes Round", and "Paradise" are on here, and they're all great, especially "In Spite of Ourselves".

Re: Getting the spins
Angel from Montgomery may be the best song that John Prine ever wrote, but I think Bonnie Raitt owns that song. Her cover of it is so great.

Her live version with John is even better IMHO.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

They're finally playing Vegas in August. Looking forward to that one.

Only got a chance to listen to one of the songs. Not too bad though:

Re: Getting the spins
You'd never guess, but I really like it.
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.
Re: Getting the spins
I'll never understand how I can hate (or maybe more accurately strongly dislike) almost every Dave Matthews Band song, but every 15th or 20th song I really, really, really, really, really like.
ETA: Since I liked Samurai Cop so much I'm giving the new album a listen on Spotify and I'm just going through song by song like "garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, etc." I did like "She" and "Come Tomorrow" OK I guess but not much else. Samurai Cop might be one of my three or four favorite songs of 2018 though.

Maron's bit on DMB on his Netflix special killed me.
Re: Getting the spins
groundbreaking stuff there.

Re: Getting the spins
Didn't see it, but I'm always disappointed in Maron's standup stuff. Though I haven't seen the new one and should give it a shot I guess.

DMB fans are brave to admit it. We dance funny and wear cargo shorts. Saved you the time.

Re: Getting the spins
I listen primarily to a mix of 80s goth and new wave, and classic rock, but I'm also rather fond of some of the modern (primarily Scandinavian) metal bands. In particular, the Greek/Swedish "melodic" death metal band Nightrage:

Just got control of the aux on vacation. Every one gets a song before passing it on. Dopesmoker it is.

Saw them in Denver last week. They ripped through most of the new album, with the encore being "Dragonaut" (off Holy Mountain) and like a 10 minute excerpt of Dopesmoker. Very satisfying.A_B wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 10:35 pmA_B wrote: ↑Fri Apr 20, 2018 10:57 amI went and fired up Dopesmoker because of this news (420!) to see what it's about.

Re: Getting the spins
The vocals are a bit harsh (heh) for my liking. I don't listen to much melodeath but when I do it's usually Insomnium, Amon Amarth, old Arch Enemy, etc.ImaginaryMan wrote: ↑Sat Jun 16, 2018 12:37 pm I listen primarily to a mix of 80s goth and new wave, and classic rock, but I'm also rather fond of some of the modern (primarily Scandinavian) metal bands.

Both the new albums by Kataklysm and Amorphis are exceptional though.
Re: Getting the spins
Honestly, for metal, I prefer that vocal style. Behemoth, Gorgoroth, Belphegor, As I Lay Dying, etc. Then again, I also like Nightwish, which is the farthest opposite end of the spectrum.P.D.X. wrote: ↑Mon Jun 18, 2018 12:52 pmThe vocals are a bit harsh (heh) for my liking.

And by Gorgoroth, I of course mean Infernus' faction of the band.ImaginaryMan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 18, 2018 1:01 pm Honestly, for metal, I prefer that vocal style. Behemoth, Gorgoroth, Belphegor, As I Lay Dying, etc. Then again, I also like Nightwish, which is the farthest opposite end of the spectrum.
Re: Getting the spins
Somebody is going to have me convince me that these kids aren't actually Led Zeppelin I. Or, a reincarnation. Or, at worst, a rip-off (which would be ironic, given Led Zep's penchant for ripping off old bluesmen). But, these guys do have the pipes and the chops. Greta Van Fleet.

Whiskey in the Jar is a great song. But you meant to put it in the old music thread.
And Brian, my opinion is that all of ZZ Top’s best songs are on Tres Hombres or Fandango.

The greatest theme song that ever there was, from the only MMA promotion worth its salt (I consider DREAM and RIZIN to be more or less a direct continuation). I could literally listen to this on a continuous loop:
