What are you listening to? (V)Music

[TexRex]

Aww, man. RIP to a real one.

Sly & the Family Stone - Sing a Simple Song

 

[UKMikey]

Sly & The Family Stone is a large black (or black-and-white) hole in my music listening experience. I've never known where to start with him as his music straddles soul and rock. I'm sorry I had to wait until his passing but I'm gonna give the whole Stand! album a go right now. Maybe I find Stax's music a slightly funkier multiracial experience but Stone is a foundation artist.

Linda Hoover - Roaring Of The Lamb

 

[Chris30]

A mega hit back in the late 1990's.

 

[TexRex]

God dammit. Now Brian Wilson. Can we get a moratorium?

The Beach Boys - 'Til I Die


Not trying to say anything with this one, though it seems like I could be. I just love the song, and it was the B-side to my favorite from them and one of my probably top ten all-timers, "Long Promised Road."

Carl was lead on this but Brian's in there.

Sly and the Family Stone - Hot Fun in the Summertime


The Wrecking Crew - Making of Good Vibrations

 

[Chris30]

Addicting song, you can set the playback speed in the settings if you prefer it a little faster.

Thanks. I always liked Ann Peebles's early Hi stuff but never really got into the (future) Rev. I'm giving his eight Willie Mitchell-produced albums from 1969-1975 a listen starting with Green Is Blues. For a supposedly lesser Green album (at least according to AllMusic's review) it's very consistent, has that Hodges Brothers sound and groove and of course Al's singing is as smooth as silk.

Oh man, Gets Next To You is even better so far. Soul heaven.

Yeah, the melodies match his voice similar to how I can only hear no one else sing Aaron Neville and Ronald Isley songs.

So, what's your favorite Alan Green song?

 

[UKMikey]

I don't have a favourite Al Green song yet as I haven't listened to all the albums.

Heard the studio version of this song on the soundtrack of last year's documentary Cheech & Chong's Last Movie. I'd never heard of this all-female rock band before and think it has a nice groove.

Birtha - Free Spirit (BBC Old Grey Whistle Test, October 24, 1972)



See For Miles records reissued their two albums Birtha and Can’t Stop The Madness on CD in 1997 and the debut is very good so far.

 

[Chris30]

Listening to this again for the millionth time. Very addicting song by the legendary Drake!

 

[sirjim73]

I've been listening to the number 1 album in the UK, along with 20,000+ other common people

Going to listen to a couple Beatles tunes.

 

[MIE1992]

 

[Chris30]

That was cool, I listened to it six times in a row.

 

[Sprite]

Some Hip Hop

 

[Chris30]

Cool song to hear during Halloween.

 

[Chris30]

You will enjoy this song, it came out in December 2023.
