Thread Devoted To Sharing Your Favorite Albums And Songs - 2019

Saw them in concert back in the '80's.

I was looking for some songs to put on a new CD I'm making and ran across this one. Can't believe I forgot about it.

I used to like that song, way back when.

Can't remember if it's been posted before, but here's Europe and "The Final Countdown"

Loved "le freak".......out on the dance floor in a polyester dress and my platform shoes...

We never danced to it, but Michele and I roller skated to le freak. Gaah, how many years ago!

This song was big at the rinks. Locomotion-Grand Funk Railroad

I don't normally follow this thread, but I'm just going to sneak this in because it's the right day for it!

I'm an old fart so, I like old music. Mostly country. But, here is one I like to play on the guitar that harkens back to my pre-teen days (this will date me I was about 9 or 10 when this came out)

Here's one that came up in another thread, so I'll post it here:

Jim Croce - Time in a Bottle

Here's another oldie. I can't believe, though, reading the lyrics now, how depressing a song this was.

Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again, Naturally

 

[mama africa]

Scorpions - "Wind of change"

 

[mama africa]

Nirvana - "Where did you sleep last night"

 

[JamesCalifornia]

~ A nice one from Joe Sample

Yeah, that one is good but I liked 'Georgie Girl' better.

Loved the song and the movie Georgie Girl-The Seekers

Getting here late, and may be repeating something, but:

Well, this is not an oldie at all. But just for fun, here's something completely different and very modern and not at all like anything anyone else has been sharing.

Despite living in Korea I don't really listen to K-pop... but BTS is an exception. A big exception. I've been a fan for many years and seen them in concert three times. They are incredible to see live! Catchy songs, flawless dance skills, awesome humble people--and, as a literature/art nerd, the amount of symbolic meaning they put into their music video and album storylines is enough to do me in!! This one, for instance (preceded by seven unique short films and a solo dance performance), is heavily inspired by Herman Hesse's Demian.


I also listen to a lot of classical, orchestral, and ambient music these days... On a snowy morning like today I've been listening to one of my favorites by Thomas Newman:

rosegold very beautiful!

This song always spoke to me when I was much younger
