Gary Brooker of Procol Harum  still sounds good. He is such an underrated musician-composer.

The bass line in " Busy Doin' Nothing ". To cool for school.

Brian was a singer , composer, producer ( better than G. Martin ). He was a more sophisticated artist than any solo Beatle and was more of a powerhouse than any of them and much more misunderstood by the public than any of them. His music was quite often understated which went above most peoples heads.

I usually prefer Lennon's songs but not this one...............POLYTHENE PAM

I'll start with Herb Albert's new one called " A Christmas Wish" It's first class and jazzy and cool.

99 % of rap is crap but I do like " Funky Cold Medina"

Herbie Hancock....... " Dis is da Drum" or " Man Child "
Weather Report....... "The Very Best of Weather Report "
Pat Metheny....... " Offramp "
Jean Pierre Rampal and Claude Bolling.... " Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano"

 Rockabye Baby........ A CD of Beach Boys songs for infants.

Referring to the truth as bullshit really puts you in a bind doesn't it Mike's Beard? I mean, not only are you a major Mike Love apologist but you're a conservative as well. Ouch! Why don't you go for the trifecta ?How about, Obama's a Muslim ?

I marvel at the logic of the "gut reaction crowd" here.  Someone puts together a little satire illustrating a problem the US is facing, and all they can come up with is "That guy's fat!"  That's all you got out of that?

You can't even sneeze without offending someone these days!  Lighten up!   

You are so right. Political correctness is tightening its grip on free speech.  A lot of people seem to
be itching to be offended so that they can proclaim " I am offended" A lot of
comedians are beginning to avoid doing a show at a university because you can't joke about anything
anymore without offending someone which offends the hell outta me. 

Nelly Furtado - Say It Right

Love this song....... my most listened to lately.

In terms of songs, the only ones listenable to my ears are:

01: Knockin' On Heaven's Door
02: Like A Rolling Stone (Barely)

 I'm with you except I would add Lay Lady Lay.

No Antonia Carlos Jobim. These lists are always so meaningless.

Agreed, and yet we all keep clicking on them, so they persist.  There's something irresistible about seeing who's on them and who isn't.

Yep.

No Antonia Carlos Jobim. These lists are always so meaningless.

Antonio

Wow.... the spelling police are on the job ( howe fuuking pathetick )

 No Antonia Carlos Jobim. These lists are always so meaningless.

Mike needs to let go of his ego or perhaps carve it up and share with those less fortunate..... there is plenty to go around.

Damn...... what a year for music. Probably the most most creative year in rock history.
